Although Annabella could hear the displeasure in Lucy’s tone, she brushed it off and continued to do as she pleased.
“Love is unpredictable, you know. I can feel the chemistry between Theodore and me, so what you said probably isn’t true. I think what I said is much more likely to happen.”
Lucy was puzzled. Where did Annabella get such confidence and audacity from? While Lucy would not dare to claim to fully understand Theodore, she could still tell what he was thinking through their interactions.
At the very least, Theodore would never have feelings for someone as self-centered as Annabella, who only cared about wealth and status.
If anything, Theodore would keep his distance from such people.
Lucy could not bring herself to burst Annabella’s bubble, but she felt it was best to gently discourage her early on—especially since Annabella's target was her brother.
“I agree with what you said, but I know my brother quite well, so maybe you could reconsider…”
Lucy did not finish the latter part of her statement. She wanted to tell Annabella to consider other options and not focus all her energy on Theodore. Besides, his dismissive attitude toward Annabella was definitely not a sign of interest.
Annabella gazed at the car in confusion. Being from a noble background, she was well-versed in luxury brands for cars and handbags. At first glance, she could tell that the car was quite valuable as it seemed to be a limited edition model issued by a certain car manufacturer. It was sleek and understated yet luxurious.
The car came to a slow stop at the entrance, and a man emerged from the driver’s seat. The first thing that caught her eye was his long legs, followed by his elegant fingers resting on the car door.
With a click, the car door closed. The two women could see Matthew’s side profile under the sunlight.
Various magazines had deemed Matthew to be the most handsome and charismatic man outside of the entertainment industry, and such claims could be found almost everywhere.
