Chapter 606
This was the first time Harper had seen the carefree pl ayboy, Preston, in such a flustered state. Did he really fall for her?
“Are you so concerned and nervous because you have rea lly fallen for me?” Harper teased.
Preston’s fingers paused, and he lowered his gaze to Harper’s beautiful face, momentarily lost in thought. How could he have fallen for her? He just couldn’t move on for the moment because they had been in a casual relationship for the past few years.
Preston had been with so many women, how could he possibly have feelings for a unmated woman like her? It was impossible!
“Johnny is Griffon’ enemy, and you are my ex-girlfriend. It’s best not to have any connection with him,” Preston stated. His reason sounded weak and unconvincing to Harper but she did not pry further.
Preston was too much of a pla yboy and not a suitable partner for her. Also, she was a unmated she-wolf, so she wasn’t his ideal match either. Their few years together were just a fling, and neither of them should have feelings for each other.
“It’s good that there’s nothing between us,” Harper nodded before
turning her attention to Ms. Khloe, who was waiting for Preston at
the end of the hallway. “Although Ms. Khloe may be childish with a bad temper, she does care about you. Since you’ve chosen to reconcile with her, treat her well and don’t fool around anymore. She-wolf can’t afford to waste away their youth on a bad guy.”
With those words, Harper pushed Preston away and walked
towards the elevator.
Watching the elevator door close, Preston slowly withdrew his hand from the wall he had been leaning on. Meanwhile, Taya walked into the nightclub’s elevator after buying some of Harper’s
pastries.
She came out of the elevator carrying her things and looked up to meet a pair of eyes filled with viciousness and hostility. She was
scared by those eyes that she quickly looked down and moved
aside to walk past.
“Stop!”
A voice as pleasant as a voice actor filled with magical power
made Taya stop in her tracks. She slowly turned around to face
the man who had already walked up to her. “Is there anything I can help you with, sir?”
The man was about the same height as Griffon. When Taya spoke
to him, she had to look up. Johnny towered over her so he was
looking down at her. “You look familiar, have we met somewhere
before?”
Taya was taken aback for a moment. This opening line sounded like a pickup line, but Johnny looked a little impatient.
She politely shook her head at him. “I haven’t seen you before.”
After answering that man, Taya was about to turn around to look for Harper, but Johnny grabbed her sleeve, “Hold on!”
Taya felt a trace of disgust as he pulled her sleeve. “Don’t touch
me!”
She quickly retracted her hand and stepped back, but bumped into Johnny’s bodyguard.
The bodyguard held Taya’s shoulder and pushed her to Johnny.
Johnny did not touch her again, instead, he lowered his head and carefully examined her face.
From her eyebrows, to her nose, her red lips, and facial features. He looked at her patiently and carefully.
He suffered from prosopagnosia, but he was in a hurry and forgot
to bring a photo along, so he couldn’t recognize who she was.
He reached out and tried to touch Taya’s face, wanting to see if he
could recognize her by touch.
But before his long hand could touch her face, someone grabbed
his wrist from behind.
Before he could react, he saw a man with prominent knuckles pulling the woman in front of him towards him.
The tall, handsome, and noble man, with his hand around Taya’s
waist and his other hand gripping Johnny’s wrist.
His bright eyes turned dark with atrocity in them.
“Johnny, are you tired of living? How dare you touch my woman?”
