Estelle rested her chin on his broad, muscular shoulder, her beautiful eyes soft and innocent. Her fingers trailed down his arm, only to be caught by him as he pulled her tightly against his chest.
At the same time, his warm lips claimed hers.

Talia returned to the garden and started asking around about the man she had seen standing next to Mr. James—the tall, incredibly handsome one.
Someone offered a guess. "Mr. James is close with Mr. Lamont, Mr. Foster, and Jonathan. Which one are you talking about?"
Talia followed her instinct. "Mr. Lamont? The CEO of the Lamont Group?"
"Yeah, Jonathan Lamont!"
Talia's interest deepened. "Is he married?"
"Yeah," the person said excitedly. "They had a huge, lavish wedding. It was even livestreamed online."
Remembering the woman she encountered in the hallway, Talia sneered. "Is his wife a total nightmare? Why would a guy like that settle for such a fierce bitch?"
"Miss, if you want to know about Jonathan Lamont, you should ask me. I know everything about him."
A deep, melodic voice drifted over. Talia turned around and froze.
Manley stood there in a crisp white casual suit, the obsidian stud in his ear catching the light. With his devilish charm and a face that looked straight out of a comic book, he was instantly captivating.
Talia's eyes fluttered. "You... you know him?"
"Of course I do!" Manley flashed a wicked, seductive smirk. His foxy eyes crinkled slightly, always seeming to hide a deep affection that made anyone looking at him feel their heart skip a beat.
He glanced around before leaning in toward Talia. "Let's find somewhere quiet to chat. Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you. If you want to go after him, I'll even help you!"
Talia bit her lip, looking a mix of haughty and flustered. "We don't even know each other. Why are you being so nice to me?"
Manley leaned closer, his voice dropping to an intoxicating murmur. "From the second I saw you at the party, I couldn't take my eyes off you. Do you believe me?"
Talia stared at him in a daze.
