She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 742

"Look at you, acting so tough... Fine, I'll line up every gorgeous guy in the building. Take your pick."

Just as she said it, the front door chimed.

Daphne turned to greet the new arrival, but her welcoming smile instantly curdled.

"Angel, how do I look to you?"

Shawn Sterling swaggered up to Melanie, throwing her an intentionally seductive pose.

Daphne glared at him, radiating pure hostility.

She certainly hadn't forgotten the last time the White-Haired Punk had rolled in with his gang of thugs and trashed her club.

Stepping forward, she shielded Melanie with her body.

"What the hell do you want? You're banned."

Seeing Daphne spread her arms like a bouncer, Shawn offered a lazy grin.

"You misunderstand, Boss. Ms. Royce and I are business partners now... isn't that right, Angel?"

He tilted his head, peering around Daphne to catch Melanie's eye.

Melanie couldn't stop her eyes from rolling into the back of her head.

She was already stressed to the max over Preston and had come here for a few drinks and some peace.

She definitely didn't expect...

Shawn Sterling to come crashing the party.

"He's totally stalking me..."

Melanie muttered under her breath.

Ever since she dumped Preston, she had immediately fired Philip, the driver Preston had planted to watch over her.

Now, standing face-to-face with Shawn, she felt acutely exposed.

After all, Shawn practically radiated chaos. He was wildly unpredictable, and despite their corporate partnership, he still felt like a massive liability.

Melanie stepped out from behind Daphne, her tone dead serious.

"Mr. Sterling, business partners talk business. I'm strictly off the clock and not in the mood for shop talk. Have a good day."

"Weren't you just asking for a Male Host? Don't I make the cut?"

Shawn pointed to his own chest with a mischievous smirk.

"No."
