Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart novel Chapter 803

Ezra started to grow on Maisie since that day, but the woman must have no idea how the burning hot feeling got the man that night when he carried her upstairs.

Later, every time Ezra met Maisie, he would tease and amuse her. Sometimes she would blush at his jokes, but most of the time, she was emotionless.

Ezra believed that Maisie had a crush on Julian.

Or else why was she not attracted by him, a dashing, handsome man. He even confided his speculation to Julian, who, in turn, told Ezra that he was crazy.

But somehow those words flew to Maisie's ears and irritated her, and thus, for a long time, Maisie ignored Ezra.

One time, he went to find Julian at the Hughes Group but deliberately picked a day when both Julian and David were out so that he could meet her.

Since David was out, only Maisie received him.

But after pouring him a cup of tea, Maisie turned around to leave. He hastened to stop her and trap her between his arms behind the office door. What kind of perfume she was wearing that day was out of his knowledge, but it made him giddy the moment he leaned toward her.

He looked down at her, asking, "Why are you suddenly mad at me?"

At first, she tried to struggle her way out, but then her cheeks went all blushed as he leaned close to her.

Maisie must have no idea that on the night she got totally wasted when she threw herself into Ezra's arms, her body was all Ezra could remember.

When the consciousness that it was impossible for her to escape his confinement came into her mind, Maisie glared at him and said indignantly, "It never occurred to me that a man like Mr. Cantillo would take to gossiping."

Ezra figured it out, "You mean the thing about you having a crush on Julian?"

She averted her attention and said angrily, "I'm greatly obliged to Mr. Hughes, but he's just a boss to me. What kind of situation do you think you have put me in when you made up that gossip?"

"Thank god. Mr. Hughes is not unreasonable, otherwise, I might have been sacked."

She seemed really angry, even the corner of her eyes went red.

Suddenly, Ezra felt a prickling sensation in his heart. After he was attracted to Maisie, he secretly looked into her history and became aware of how Maisie was raised and ignored by her parent who preferred boys, and how much suffering she had gone through being despised as a girl.

That was why she concealed her beauty and strived to prove herself and that women were not inferior to men.

"I am so sorry." He had no idea what happened to him that made him, a man who never cared about women's feelings, apologize to her.

It was more like a joke that he told Julian that she had a crush on him, but after knowing all she had tried to do, Ezra suddenly felt his joke had wiped out all her efforts.

Apparently, Maisie, too, did not expect him to apologize.

She startled for a moment and then the corner of her eyes turned redder. Somehow, she managed to shove him away, opened the door, and was to leave.

He pulled her back again, and stared into her eyes, asking half-jokingly, "Now that you don't have a crush on him, what kind of men are you into?"

The short distance between them made her eyes easy to read.

Though he had made a careful observation of her face the last time when she was drunk, Ezra did not have the opportunity to examine her eye.
