In that case, I won’t possibly be able to get any benefit from her! As Selena stared at Finneas’ expression, she felt very much at ease. This man is truly repulsive! There’s nothing left for me to miss about him. She then strode forward, but Finneas chased after her once more. “Can we really not start over, Selena?”
Selena rolled her eyes at him. “What do you think?”
“I remember that you loved me so much back then that you cooked and boiled soup for me, did my laundry, and plenty of other things. At that time, we were both simple, so we were happy as long as we had each other. Selena, we’ll return to the past, okay? I love you,” Finneas added in the end.
Getting impatient with him, Selena heaved a sigh.
Meanwhile, Pierre, who was upstairs, couldn’t hear their conversation. He merely observed the two of them intently, his eyes teeming with anger. “How unseemly!” For some inexplicable reason, he felt very much perturbed. Swiftly snagging his cell phone, he gave Selena a call, only to see her glancing at the screen of her cell phone before declining his call. All at once, he went ballistic. How dare she reject my call? Does this woman not want to live anymore?
Selena didn’t expect Pierre to call at this time, and she didn’t want to take his call in front of Finneas. Thinking that he might be trying to play her for a fool again, she ignored his call.
When Finneas saw that she was hesitating, he again strode up to her and wanted to take her hand, but she saw it coming and promptly dodged. “Please give me a chance, Selena. Let me make it up to you, okay?” He sounded sincere and unaffected.
However, Selena merely felt her head pounding. I really can’t bear to see such an expression on him. The more he makes nice, the more blinded I find myself back then! “Finneas Lake, get this into your head—it’s not possible between us.”
Selena looked at Finneas. “You saw that, didn’t you? I can’t afford to offend Fowler Corporation, much less Pierre Fowler. I’ve got to get the proposal and explain things to him!” Any company that collaborates with Fowler Corporation or Pierre would always be below them. As she said that, she took out her key to open the door.
“Selena, are you really planning to be with Pierre Fowler?” The smile on Finneas’ face finally disappeared.
Selena, however, merely found it amusing. “I believe you’ve also heard about Fowler Corporation acquiring LAYA. We simply want to forge a collaboration, so please don’t make any baseless accusations.”
