"Want to try it on?"
Olivier's arm moved to be in front of her, and his warm breath gently wafted against her neck.
Gwenda stiffened. "I..."
"Shush!"
Olivier leaned down, his fingers little pinpricks of warmth on her skin as they casually brushed across the surface of her flesh. His touch felt as if it was electrified...
Gwenda shuddered and held her breath. Her heart raced inadvertently.
A moment later, cold air wafted at her neck. When she looked down, Gwenda realised that her necklace had been taken off and replaced with the "Heart of the Ocean".
"It looks good."
A smile tugged at Olivier's lips.
Gazing at the necklace with her head down, Gwenda's eyes flickered with uncertainty. "I think I'd rather take it off."
"Why?"
"Wearing this makes it look as if I'm flaunting myself. I'm used to keeping a low profile, so I'd prefer not to be so ostentatious."
As she spoke, Gwenda removed the necklace and placed it back inside its box.
"Here, take it back."
Gwenda insisted on returning the "Heart of the Ocean" to him.
His eyes flickering, Olivier wrapped an arm around her waist and murmured, "I never take back the things that I've given out. If you don't like this gift, you can throw it away right now."
"You..."
Gwenda was furious.
Olivier raised his eyebrows. "If you can't bear to do it, I'll do it for you."
As he spoke, he made it look as if he was really going to dispose of the necklace.
Gwenda hurriedly stopped him. "Fine, fine. I'll take it!"
What the hell, 100 million dollars so easily discarded.
She really had to hand it to Olivier...
"Wouldn't it have been easier if you just accepted it from the start?"
Olivier returned the box to her.
Gwenda put it away and sighed resignedly. "You're really wilful just because you're rich."
"I'm only wilful for you."
Olivier slowly tightened his embrace.
