Her skin was quite fair as well.
When he saw her, Gerald simply nodded with a smile.
Melissa chuckled when she saw him do that. She then said, “She’s my cousin, Gerald. She’s a looker, isn’t she? She came over to have some fun with me.”
Gerald replied with a simple nod.
“But just so you know, she’s already married! She was a beauty even during her school years and though so many years have passed since then, she’s still as gorgeous as ever!” said Melissa in a teasing tone as she laughed.
“From her reaction, I’m now sure that you’re Mr. Crawford. It’s a pleasure to meet you! I’m Rosalie Owens but since I’m older than both of you, you can just call me Sister Owens!” said Rosalie with a smile.
“By the way, Mr. Crawford, I’m sure you already know that my cousin’s family is quite powerful in Northbay! She’s even teaching in a university there too!” added Melissa.
Gerald nodded again as he greeted, “It’s a pleasure to meet you as well, Sister Owens!”
The three of them then entered.
Not long after, a luxury car that looked to be at least a hundred and fifty thousand dollars arrived at the entrance of the hotel.
The car’s driver got out and respectfully opened the door of the passenger seat right next to the driver’s. Out stepped a rich young man in a suit holding an expensive looking pocket watch.
“Mr. Long!” said the driver respectfully.
The person who had stepped out was Yunus Long, and he had a wicked smile on his face as he looked at the hotel.
He then moved to open the backseat door before saying, “We’re here now Giya. Come on out now.”
Giya simply got out without saying a word. She had only put on some light makeup, but she still looked very beautiful.
“Whatever you say. Now come on, let’s go!” replied Yunus with a smile.
After saying that, he stretched his hand out and tried to hug Giya’s waist but she immediately dodged away before glaring at him.
“Can’t I even slightly touch you? You’re my fiancée!” said Yunus.
“And who made that decision? I didn’t agree to be engaged with you. Behave yourself, Mr. Long!” Giya said that rather tensely.
Aside from disgust, she had no other feelings for him.
Since her family was facing a crisis, her parents had advised her to be with him for their sake. She had honestly tried compromising with the Longs so that she could slowly, but eventually come to accept Yunus.
In the end, however, she knew she had failed. She only felt disgust toward him, and there was zero chance for any other feelings to develop.
