Chapter 520 Attraction or Love
"People smoke when they are troubled. Why am I still upset after I smoke?” Ainsley murmured.
Daniel had imagined what Ainsley would do when she saw him. Daniel thought she might be annoyed, angry, or want to slap him, but he didn't expect Ainsley to talk so calmly as if they were old friends.
"Is it because of the recovery of your memory?" Daniel asked.
Ainsley inhaled a puff of smoke, approached him, and blew a smoke ring in Daniel's face. She smiled, "Irene tells you everything, doesn't she?"
"After all, we are partners." Daniel didn't answer the question.
"Partners? The Wade Group isn't a good choice for cooperation now." Ainsley sneered, "Tell me. Why did you take me here? It can't be that you just want to get close to me. Right?”
"What if I say yes?"
Ainsley lowered her eyes and placed the cigarette between her fingers like Daniel did. "Mr. Hume, do you get infatuated with a woman?"
"You are not me. How do you know that I won't?’
"Just because of the night of Irene's birthday?" She asked.
"Just that meeting is enough." Daniel nodded.
Looking at Ainsley's puzzled face, he explained, "Have you ever heard of it? It only takes 0.3 seconds for one to fall for a stranger."
Ainsley said, "Psychologists say that love at first sight is just because of physical attraction on most occasions. When you meet someone, hormones stimulate adrenaline. Your heart beats faster just because hormones are stimulating it. The truth is that you will get the feeling of 'love' even before you actually see the person."
"So, you think I was just attracted by your appearance?" Daniel looked at her doubtfully.
"Of course."
"I come from Portugal. I've seen too many beauties. I've seen all kinds of women, but I've never had such a strong feeling. You are a psychologist, so you must know those theories are not completely true. Although I fell for you within only 0.3 seconds, that feeling was real. I didn't even have time to get close to see your face clearly. I fell in love with you just because of that feeling. That vague impression is enough for me to connect you with all the beautiful things in the world. Now, do you still think I was just attracted by your appearance?" Daniel stared at her as if trying to see through Ainsley.
Ainsley shook her head. "What I said is true most of the time. Of course, there are exceptions. Mr. Hume, it seems that your case is the latter?"
"Yes." Daniel nodded firmly.
Ainsley's face sank. "So, what do you want to do?’
Daniel tried to remain gentle. ’Stay here. Stay with me. You can't go back to the Easton's home, and Manuel is reliable."
Ainsley threw the cigarette on the ground and trod on it. She said mockingly, "You mean you are reliable?’
Daniel was surprised by her question, but he was full of confidence. "Ainsley, at least no one will disturb you if you stay with me. And I will respect your decisions. We can start from being friends."
"I thought that you would be bossy, considering your character," Ainsley said in surprise.
"I am always gentle to people I really like. Moreover, only despicable men will be hard on women. I prefer to win your heart with my sincerity," Daniel smiled.
Ainsley's expression changed again. She stared at Daniel. "You just said that I couldn't go back to the Easton's home. How did you know? Have you been working with Mrs. Easton?"
Daniel smiled but did not speak. However, Ainsley could tell something from his expression.
