The summer was a scorching season, with a few white clouds floating in the sky. A woman dressed in a white cotton dress accentuated her slender curves. Her long wavy hair, resembling seaweed, was tied up in a high ponytail, making her look both beautiful and chic.
As Iker's gaze fell upon her, he saw the woman walking towards him with an air of nonchalance while chewing on a lollipop. The sunlight shone on her body, casting a golden aura around her.
"Hey there Master Iker, we meet again," Cheyenne said as she approached him with quick steps and reached into her pocket.
Iker furrowed his eyebrows slightly as he watched Cheyenne's small hand slowly open up to reveal the lollipop inside. He had thought that she had something important to give him but was disappointed when he saw it was just lollipop.
"Do you think I'm still three years old? Eating candy is childish!" Iker exclaimed disdainfully. He had never tasted anything sweet before; instead, he had tried sourness, bitterness and spiciness throughout his life.
Cheyenne listened to his words and lightly scoffed at him. "Who says adults can't eat candy? Try this one out; it's my favorite orange-flavored lollipop."
Her eyes always looked cute whenever she smiled - like crescent moons - leaving no room for doubt about their sincerity.
Iker hesitated for a moment before extending his big hand towards hers and taking the lollipop from it. "Fine then! Just this once," he said as he put the whole thing into his mouth without even bothering to unwrap it first.
"Wait! You have no common sense at all! Even kids know that they have to remove this package first," Cheyenne quickly snatched back the lollipop from him before tearing off its packaging herself and handing it back over again.
This was the first time someone had unwrapped the lollipop for him, and Iker couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart which began to thump.
As the lollipop touched his lips, a fruity sweetness spread between them.
So sweet.
The man's eyebrows lifted slightly, and his lips parted to say, "I heard you kicked those people out of your villa?"
Cheyenne had been trending lately among Akloit's hot topics - appearing three times already on newspaper headlines within just one month!
The first time was because she divorced Kelvin, the CEO of Foley Group, becoming an abandoned wife!
The second time, she made a fortune of ten million by visiting an art exhibition.
The third time, she performed a sultry pole dance at the banquet, outshining the President's daughter and dazzling everyone with her radiance.
However, this glory lasted for less than two days before someone exposed that she had driven her own family out of the villa, becoming a typical representative of "rebellious and heartless" behavior.
There were too many contradictions and gazes intertwined in her, making her a unique and unconventional existence.
When George and Malaya were mentioned, Cheyenne's good mood disappeared. She lightly spoke with a lollipop in her mouth, "What, do you also think I went too far?"
Iker looked at her eyes seriously, shook his head, and his magnetic voice echoed in her ear.
"I understand you, I won't."
As soon as these words were spoken, Cheyenne couldn't help but burst out laughing. She had forgotten that she still had lollipop in her mouth and almost swallowed it whole, quickly taking it out.
"Master Iker, you are not me, and you cannot possibly understand me. Everyone is a unique individual, and in this world, where can we find so many who truly empathize with us?"
There was a self-deprecating, icy smile on Cheyenne's lips, which was a stark contrast to the beautiful smile she had just shown.
For some reason, Iker believes that this is the true her now!
