Billionaire and His Scheming Beauty novel Chapter 23

It was the second time Olivier had slept so close to a woman in his twenty-eight years of life, after being swaddled by his mother and nanny as a baby. He had been sleeping alone for a long time.

The woman in his arms was sleeping peacefully now, but for him, it was unbearable.

Olivier closed his eyes, feeling restless.

"Mr. Martinez, Miss Leroy met Miss Lopez at the hospital. Miss Leroy said that she was your girlfriend, and that she was pursuing you. She also said..."

Raoul's words echoed in his ears. "...how you could possibly resist her seduction."

How could you possibly resist my seduction? That sentence was a direct provocation, a challenge. What's more, if Fleur said that, one could easily imagine the confidence in her tone when she did.

As if she were saying, "No one can resist me."

"I've come to steal your heart. Olivier. I will be the thief of your heart."

Olivier had never met such a woman. Beautiful yet carrying a darkness, loud yet gentle. Fleur had too many secrets. He wanted to figure out every bit of her, so he tolerated her actions for now.

But even he himself did not know that his interest meant Fleur was something new and different to him, something he had never encountered before.

Olivier suddenly opened his eyes, an indistinguishable expression flashing within.

Fleur tilted her head to look at him.

Her eyes were clear and bright, but not the least bit innocent. Yet they had an attractiveness to them.

As if they told only parts of a story and kept the rest hidden.

Olivier stayed still in silence, their eyes boring into one another. The temperature gradually increased.
