The Hidden Empress Stripping Her Secrets After Divorce novel Chapter 123

Christian's frown deepened. He didn't know this woman. The security at The Pinnacle Apartments was exceptionally tight, making it nearly impossible for non-residents or uninvited guests to enter, especially this exclusive underground VIP level.

He pressed the window control, and the passenger side glass silently glided down a few inches.

The cloying, overwhelmingly sweet scent of her floral perfume instantly wafted into the cabin, violently clashing with the lingering aroma of tobacco and expensive leather.

"Hey there, handsome." The woman's voice was laced with a sickly-sweet purr. Her smile widened as she leaned in even closer, practically sticking her head through the gap. She stared at Christian with undisguised interest. "All alone? You look a bit stressed out... want to exchange numbers? Have a little chat? Or maybe... grab a drink together?"

Her eyes raked over the luxurious interior of the car before settling back on Christian's face. Even marred by exhaustion, his sharp, predatory good looks were undeniable, and her amusement only grew.

Christian stared back at her, his expression entirely devoid of emotion. His gaze was as cold as a frozen lake. He couldn't even summon the energy to figure out if she was just a random gold-digger or someone with an ulterior motive. At this exact moment, he was thoroughly disgusted by any unnecessary interruptions.

His lips parted, dropping a single, ice-cold command.
