Chapter 7
What did he mean?
His gaze on her red lips seemed to be a hint. The best way for a woman to thank a man was of course blowing him a kiss.
Arabella's heart skipped a beat and her ears turned red. "I have no idea."
Then she turned her head to look out the window and hence ignored him.
Kenneth knew she was avoiding this. She was smart, independent, and unwilling to easily trust someone. As a 19-year-old girl, she had experienced too little in terms of relationships, so she couldn't stay calm when a man tried to flirt with her.
The car stopped at the red light. Through the car window, Arabella saw the most famous cake shop in the city.
"Do you want some cake?" Kenneth asked in a low voice.
Arabella said softly with a bit of sorrow in her eyes, "My mother often took me to that store to buy cakes."
Kenneth turned the steering wheel and stopped by the road. "We'll buy some if you want."
......
This cake shop was a time-honored one in the city and their cakes were sold in limited quantities. It was especially popular among the rich ladies.
Arabella loved cakes since childhood. Her mother often brought her here to buy cakes. Those were the sweetest memories.
The last time Arabella came here was ten years ago.
Her eyes were a little red, but she didn't want Kenneth to see this. "Well, please wait a few minutes. I need to use the bathroom."
She went to wash her face.
Kenneth looked at her retreating figure. He noticed that she was about to cry just now, like an innocent little girl.
Then he walked into the cake shop.
Coincidentally, Leia was also in the shop, along with her best friend Kelsey Conner.
Kelsey grabbed Leia's arm and asked, "Leia, just now you said that Arabella has a toy boy, is it true?"
Leia sneered contemptuously, "Of course it is true. I saw the toy boy drive her home."
"Keeping a toy boy is very expensive now. Since Arabella just came back from the countryside, where did she get all the money to pay him?"
Leia said, "A toy boy is actually a hustler, and hustlers are also graded. Top hustlers are good-looking, hot, and awesome in bed. It will cost a fortune to sleep with them once..."
At this moment, they heard a deep and magnetic voice. "A cake, please."
This voice sounded amazing.
Both Leia and Kelsey were attracted and they saw Kenneth at once.
He stood upright at the counter in his white shirt and black trousers. He was tall and leggy, perfectly proportioned like a supermodel. People would be captivated to just see him standing there.
This man was too gorgeous.
Kelsey was already enthralled by him. She quietly pulled Leia's sleeve. "Leia, this man counts among the top kind."
He was good-looking, hot, and good in bed...
Leia had never seen such a handsome man. People said that the glory of power and wealth of a man was better than any other clothes. Kenneth's elegance and nobility made him the prettiest among all the men in white shirts and black trousers.
Leia had a huge crush on him.
Kelsey whispered again, "Do you think Arabell's toy boy is like this man?"
"Nonsense." Leia glared at her and added, "Arabella was nothing but a poor rube, so her toy boy must be one of the worst, ugly and fat. There's no way she can afford a top one like him."
Leia would definitely not believe that Arabella's toy boy was as fantastic as the man in front of her.
The store manager apologized to Kenneth, "Sir, I am sorry we've sold out of the cakes. Those two ladies bought the last one. You can come earlier tomorrow."
The last cake was bought by Leia.
Being mentioned, Leia's heart was pounding. She quickly stepped forward and looked at Kenneth excitedly and shyly. "Sir, do you...want to buy a cake? I can offer you this one. But...can you add me on Line first?"
Leia already fell in love with this man, so she couldn't wait to take the initiative.
She was a great choice, young and beautiful. And there were many boys chasing her, but it was strange that she would be so nervous when trying to start a conversation with this man.
Despite Leis's great expectations, Kenneth didn't even glance at her. He just took out his luxury card and handed it to the store manager. "Then please tell the baker to work late to make one for me."
The manager immediately saw Kenneth's luxury card. It was black and had a golden "Lucero" inlaid on it.
"Lucero" was a famous surname in Hardgrad.
The manager instantly knew who Kenneth was and there was sweat on his forehead. He couldn't believe that such an important person came to his tiny cake shop.
"Sir, please wait a moment, I will ask the baker to make you a customized one."
The manager ran into the kitchen.
Leia and Kelsey were quite confused. They wondered why the store manager would customize a cake for this man.
After all, even they have to line up for cakes.
This service was for people who were even more important than the VIPs of this shop.
While waiting, Kenneth opened a business newspaper and started reading it.
Leia was completely ignored, which made her embarrassed. Then she adjusted her slip dress, deliberately revealing her body curve.
"Oh, I'm dizzy." Leia pretended to be dizzy and tried to fall into Kenneth's arms.
She closed her eyes, expecting his arms.
But the next second, she fell directly to the ground.
It turned out that Kenneth immediately dodged, which made Leia hit the ground.
At this moment, she heard a beautiful and pleasant voice. "Leia, why did greet me in such a serious way?"
Leia looked up and saw Arabella.
Arabella was staring at the embarrassed Leia and she even winked wickedly.
Leia was upset and she quickly got up. "Arabella, why are you here?"
Leia seemed to be puzzled. She wondered why Arabella was in the cake shop because Mr. Weber had already entered the room when she left home. Then what had happened?
Kenneth stepped forward and naturally put his arm around Arabella's waist. "What took you so long?"
Her waist was as slender as he thought.
Leia and Kelsey took a deep breath. They couldn't believe what was going on between Arabella and this man.
"Arabella, who is he?" Leia immediately asked.
Arabella curled her lips. "Didn't you say he's my toy boy?"
