CEO’s Surrender With You I Can Never Win novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15

Calvin grumbled the moment they were alone.

Thankfully, the man released his collar almost immediately. Otherwise, they would probably end up on the front page of society news.

But Calvin knew better than to run back to the beautiful young lady without appeasing the jealous king.

“Bryan, I don’t care how much you like me, but why did you do that? I’m so embarrassed! Anyway, Finley and I are fated for each other. I’d appreciate it if you did not come between true love.”

Bryan’s gloomy face darkened and he sneered, “True love?”

Calvin declared confidently, “Yes. Don’t worry, I’ll invite you to the wed-”

Before Calvin finished speaking, a hard punch landed on his stomach.

“Ow!”

Calvin held his stomach and complained noisily, “What the h*II! Bryan! Is this how you treat your good friend? I’ve blocked so many women for you, why can’t you let me have a shot at love with the amazing Fin-”

Unable to stand another word out of Calvin’s mouth about his supposed relationship with Finley, Bryan snapped, “She is my wife.”

Even though they were in a contract marriage and he had rejected her the night before, seeing another man hit on his wife set his teeth on edge. When Finley had smiled at the b*stard, he almost punched the man there and then.

Still lost in his daydream, Calvin was confused.

“Huh? Who? You’re married? What does that have to do with-”

Seeing the glare on Bryan’s usually expressionless face, a lightbulb clicked on in Calvin’s head.

“No! Seriously? The goddess is your wife?”

Calvin deflated like a balloon, “How? When did this happen? How come I didn’t know?”

Bryan felt better when he saw Calvin’s dejected expression and did not bother clarifying anything. “Just stay away from her.”

Calvin frowned, why did the beautiful woman say that he and Bryan were lovers then?

He opened his mouth to ask but snapped it shut after a moment. A punch was painful enough.

He was not brave or stupid enough to ask such an intrusive question.

He cleared his throat and then chuckled dryly, “Congratulations on your marriage. I just remembered that I have an event early tomorrow morning… Bye!”

Then as if the king of hell was on his heels, Calvin turned and ran away.

When the two men were out of sight, Finley sighed.

“It is no wonder Bryan is not interested in my beauty, Calvin is just too handsome… What am I going

to do now?

Thankfully, someone approached her with a toast and she shoved that dilemma away.

When Bryan came back into the hall, he saw Finley surrounded once more by a crowd of people. With a terse order, a guard quickly went over to the woman and whispered in her ear.

Finley arched her brow and tilted her head to look at the gloomy-looking man on the sofa. She excused herself and made her way over, snatching a glass of champagne on the way.
