Cassandra forced herself to remain calm as she looked straight into the man's eyes. She didn't want to lose even if her aura wasn't as imposing as his.
With just a glance, Richard could make others feel tremendously pressured. Cassandra quietly froze in place.
It took a while before she tilted her head to the side and answered in a cold tone, “Richard Shaw, I admit I've liked you when I was young and frivolous. But you didn't like me... So, I will never have feelings for you again. Why did you abandon your fiancée and come here?”
Richard stared at Cassandra's tiny mouth. All he desired to do was to kiss her fervently.
For a moment, he detested hearing her vocalize those vexing remarks concerning their rift.
Richard leaned over abruptly, inching closer to Cassandra's red lips.
At that precise moment, a huge hand reached out from behind and yanked him away.
Caught off guard, Richard staggered a few steps backward after being shoved away. When he finally steadied himself, he noticed a man shielding Cassandra and obstructing his view.
“If it isn't the son of the White family. Is it tiring to be Lucas Nolan's lackey?” A smirk appeared on Richard's face as he glared at Spencer grimly.
In that instant, a hint of anger clouded over Spencer's usual gentle expression. “Mr. Shaw, don't you think it's inappropriate to take advantage of other ladies when you already have a fiancée?”
“Who do you think you are? What right do you have to lecture me like this, Spencer?” Richard then looked at Cassandra coldly. “Come here!”
The young lady stood behind Spencer stubbornly, bold indifference overflowing in her eyes. “Richard, Boss and I both respect you. I will respect you when you finally decide to respect me, even if it's just a little compared to your respect for Boss.” A glint of determination flashed across Cassandra's eyes. As though she had made up her mind on something, she gripped Spencer's warm hand with her soft one. “Also, this is my boyfriend! I wish you a happy life with Shiela.”
Boyfriend?
Richard's gaze instantly became sharp as fiery rage boiled within him. “You chose someone from the White family, huh? Quite a choice you made there.”
Shocked, Spencer looked at Cassandra before lowering his gaze stiffly to stare at his hand, which was being held by her.
