He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 438

Veronica's smile deepened, her tone turning even more flirtatious.

"Of course. As long as you're open to seeing where this goes, I'm in no rush."

She sounded supremely confident.

"Besides, I truly believe that once we spend enough time together, you'll definitely fall in love with me."

Veronica had absolute faith in her allure.

Growing up, she had lost count of the men who had fallen head over heels for her, completely bewitched by her charm.

To date, Yardley was the only man who had remained immune to her after working together, which was exactly why she was so obsessed with him.

She was naturally ambitious and fiercely competitive.

The harder the mountain was to climb, the more she wanted to conquer it.

The tougher the challenge, the more she wanted to break it.

She didn't want Yardley to instantly agree to be her boyfriend—that was too easy, too boring.

But as long as he agreed to date her, she was absolutely certain that, in time, he would fall madly and obsessively in love with her.

The four of them spent the entire afternoon in the lounge, hashing out the preliminary framework for the partnership.

After seeing the Thornes out, Franklin called Yardley into his private office.

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows with his hands clasped behind his back, Franklin got straight to the point.

"Yardley, what's your read on Thorne Industries approaching us? I can see his daughter is very interested in you, but what are your thoughts?"

Yardley took a deep breath. His father was too sharp; nothing got past him.

His expression serious, Yardley answered honestly. "I'm not looking for a relationship right now, but I have to admit, the deal they're offering is exactly what we need to survive this. What do you think, Dad?"
