Breaking Mr. Cold (Giselle and Donovan) novel Chapter 674

At that moment, Chris finally lifted his gaze to meet Donovan's.

For a brief two seconds, their eyes locked intensely, but then Chris quickly lowered his eyes and respectfully bowed before speaking. "I came to Valanthea because I have a…"

As he had been abroad for a very long time and had been raised away from Valanthea, he wasn't fluent in the language. His words felt stiff and awkward, as if he wasn't entirely comfortable expressing himself in Valanthean.

At that, the man who had accompanied him to the interview, a representative from a security company, smiled and stepped in to explain. "Mr. Kane, Chris came to Valanthea because his ex-girlfriend was Valantian. After he left his job, she brought him here. He isn't fluent in Valanthean, and he doesn't have other skills, so he's looking to get back into his old line of work as a bodyguard."

The representative continued, "His biggest weakness is that he's not great with words. He's very quiet and tends to keep to himself. But he's honest and hardworking, and extremely loyal. If you pay him, he'll do whatever task you give him without question."

Donovan listened thoughtfully but didn't respond.

Ethan, standing nearby, nudged him. "Don, why don't we just hire him? It's fine that he's not great with words. As long as he's got the skills and is sharp, that's all that matters."

Giselle stepped closer, studying the man in front of her carefully. Her eyes lingered on his face. At this point, she had an odd sense of deja vu as something about his features looked strangely familiar to her.

Just as she was staring at him, the man suddenly raised his eyes again, locking gazes with her.

For a moment, their eyes met directly, and Giselle's heart skipped a beat.
