"Get in the car." Leon Keane took off his sunglasses, revealing an extraordinarily handso face. His gaze shifted from the darkness of the sunglasses to the brightness outside. The sun spilled over Ivana Monroe’s fair face, like countless dazzling diamonds, her beautiful face shimring under the sunlight.
Leon recalled that night, the relationship he had with this woman, and the experience it brought him was so wonderful that the handso man’s ears felt a faint warmth.
Seeing Leon, Ivana didn’t feel as well. She was so frightened that she stepped back a few steps, her face losing a bit of color: "No...."
Leon saw her reaction and slightly frowned. Was she afraid of him?
Leon’s thin lips curved slightly: "In broad daylight, are you still afraid I’ll eat you in the car?"
Even if he had that thought, it was impossible to really do it. There were caras everywhere on the road, and he wasn’t that desperate.
After saying this, Leon regretted it because Ivana turned her head away, ignored him, and walked forward faster, as if she wanted to avoid him at all costs.
Leon quickly unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the car door, and went after Ivana.
Ivana heard the footsteps behind her and started running on the sidewalk in fright.
But how could she outrun Leon? He quickly caught up with her and grabbed her arm.
"Let go of , Leon, let go of ." Ivana was like a frightened bird caught by a hunter, struggling intensely, hoping to escape the hunter’s grasp.
Her strong resistance was unexpected to Leon, but the man’s strength was great, and he wouldn’t let go easily. The woman couldn’t achieve freedom.
Leon didn’t want to hurt her.
"Okay, I’ll let go, just don’t run again."
This ti, Leon compromised first. As he let go, his dark eyes were fixed on Ivana, seeing the fragility in her eyes, especially the glistening tears. His mood instantly turned agitated.
What was wrong with him? The press often described him as handso, wealthy, the number one dream man in Ravenswood for all won.
In reality, it was the sa; won who saw him would eagerly rush to his side with a wave of his hand, using every ans to beco Mrs. Kane.
Only this woman wasn’t interested in him.
Leon suddenly felt a sense of defeat. It seed like he had no ans to handle this woman?
"Hmm." Ivana’s voice was very soft, like a mosquito.
Leon gradually released her arm. She didn’t run but took a step back, creating a safe distance from him.
Leon had an urge to pull her closer, but he restrained himself.
Leon sneered with anger: "Ivana, do you really think you’re a fairy? That seeing you makes have improper thoughts? You’re overestimating yourself."
"That day, I made it clear. It was just that I hadn’t been with a woman for a long ti, but you were also willing. I didn’t force you to do it."
Ivana’s eyes widened, her cheeks burning like fire, quickly flushed with red.
She didn’t want to hear him ntion that unbearable incident again, as it made her feel as if she was naked before him, even fully clothed.
Ivana bit her lip, mustering the courage to look up at him: "So? Are you telling , Mr. Kane, that you won’t touch again in the future, or only after you haven’t been with a woman for a long ti?"
Leon’s heart tightened at the distant "Mr. Kane."
Leon’s handso face turned cold: "Do what a female partner should do. I’ve lost interest in your body. Quit dreaming."
Leon turned around, heading towards the luxurious Bugatti Veyron.
Ivana was stunned for a mont before letting out a sigh of relief.
Leon walked a few steps before stopping, speaking to Ivana without turning his head: "Get in the car. I’ll give you a ride. After all, you’re my partner now. If soone catches leaving you on the road, it’ll affect my gentlemanly image."
Ivana: "..."
In the end, Ivana got into Leon’s car. Though the weather wasn’t hot, the air conditioning in his luxury car was on, causing goosebumps to rise on Ivana’s arms as she sat for a while.
Ivana didn’t sit in the passenger seat but in the back. Through the rearview mirror, she could see Leon driving, not saying another word to her since she got in, his expression while driving as cold as ever, matching the chilly atmosphere in the car.
The Bugatti Veyron reached the gates of GK.
Ivana reached for the car door handle.
Leon suddenly spoke: "Your back injury should be almost healed. There’s a banquet tonight at seven. I need you to accompany ."
Ivana frowned. So soon, he wanted her to accompany him to another banquet?
Ivana thought of "Timmy." The little boy’s behavior had recently changed. As his mother, she needed to spend more ti with him at tis like this.
"Can we put it off for a while? Yesterday I promised Timmy that I’d spend every night with him for the ti being."
Ivana told a lie, as she couldn’t think of a better excuse to refuse Leon.
Perhaps he’d let her off for Timmy’s sake.
"No, I don’t want to delay the ti of you being my partner at all. I’ll take care of Timmy. No need for you to worry." Leon turned his head, seeing right through Ivana’s lie.
Besides, having Timmy stay longer at the Kane family ancestral house had the advantage of increasing the bond between brothers, with more ti spent with Ian.
Ivana wanted to say sothing, but Leon pressed the automatic door release button.
"Get out! I’m in a hurry. I have a eting at the company soon."
Ivana got out and went to GK. Walking into the office, she saw a familiar, beautiful woman sitting on the guest sofa.
"Idol goddess."
Upon seeing Ivana, Ivy Linden stood up excitedly.
Ivana was taken aback: "Idol goddess?"
She rembered now; this woman was Lolita’s mother whom she t at the amusent park.
"Sorry, it’s just that you look so much like my idol goddess, so when I saw you, I couldn’t help blurting it out." Ivy Linden wanted to bite off her tongue. She wasn’t good at lying and blushed when she did.
Ivana didn’t expose her. The lie was too clumsy, because at the amusent park, Ivy Linden didn’t mistake her for her idol goddess in excitent upon seeing her.
Ivy Linden stated her purpose, and after discussing, they agreed for Ivana’s new winter collection to be featured in Yiren Magazine after attending the Ravenswood fashion show next month.
Ivy Linden reserved several covers for Ivana’s new winter collection.
"Ivy, I don’t know what to say. I’m really grateful that you’re willing to strongly promote GK’s new winter collection at a ti like this." Ivana was very touched, knowing the influence of Yiren Magazine in Ravenswood. Ivy Linden giving her several covers was a huge promotional boost.
