Paige gave a nod. Chris said goodbye to his group. The business partners left as they had other plans for the evening. Chris approached Paige and said, “Come on.” Paige nodded. “Okay.” She smiled at Randall and said, “You should get home with Sierra, Randy. We’re leaving.” Randall nodded. Sierra did as well, her eyes lingering on Chris. Although Chris broke her heart with his cruel words, she still could not get over him. Chris was a captivating man. His social status and family wealth aside, Chris had the looks and personality women appealed to. He acted without emotions, and no woman could win his heart. It was the type of personality that challenged women to tame and capture his heart. He was easy to love and harder to fall out of love with. Sierra knew that. However, there was no turning back between her and Chris. The right thing to do was move on from Chris and be with James. Although James could not compete with Chris, she was reaching high by being w
Paige did not like Kyle. She did not have a good feeling about the man. However, she thought Chris and Kyle were friends. That was not a nice thing to say about his own friend. “How is he bad?” Paige asked. Chris replied, “He has no dignity. He’s sleazy with women.” Paige had no words. She could guess the filthy tricks he pulled on women. Lisa must be one of his victims… Paige brushed off her thoughts. Kyle would never do that to Lisa. Paige could tell Lisa was happy to be with Kyle. She nodded and said, “Got it. I will keep my distance from him.” Paige believed she would not cross paths with Kyle again. She continued looking for a place to rent. Seeing that Paige was focused on finding a place, Chris snatched her phone. “What are you doing?” Paige looked at him in shock. Why did he steal her phone? Did he have nothing better to do? He did that out of nowhere. Chris looked at her and replied, “You can forget renting. I’ll get you a house if you make me
Sierra was tempted by James even though she had Chris back then. Now that Sierra had James, she could not forget Chris. Ha… Women. … Paige entered a lingerie shop. The choices dazzled her. It had been years since Paige shopped for lingerie in a store. She usually got her unmentionables online. It was too late to order online, so she had to pick one up in-store. Since stepping into the lingerie shop, Paige could not stop from blushing. It was normal for women to shop for undergarments in a lingerie shop. She was acting suspicious, knowing the purpose she was there. She could not shake off the embarrassment. As Paige entered the shop, the salesperson welcomed her with a smile, “Can I help you with anything?” Paige, rosy in the cheeks, whispered, “I’m just looking around.” “Okay,” the saleswoman replied.She then left Pagie some space. The saleswoman could understand where Paige was coming from. As a veteran in the undergarment business, she had seen man
“And?” Paige said nothing, so Chris asked. “She invited me to tomorrow’s party,” Paige replied. Chris had no words. He had not expected Sherry to invite Paige to a party. Chris was familiar with the social circles Sherry belonged to. The clique of heiresses, with too much time on their hands, threw parties and social events to flaunt their wealth and possessions. Chris was not keen on these social engagements, but many men often associated themselves with such events. Wherever there were women, there were also men.“So you’re looking for gowns?” Chris asked. Paige nodded. “Yeah.” She voiced her concern, “I rarely attend these parties. This will be my first social gathering since marrying you. I—” Although Paige did not finish her sentence, Chris knew where she was coming from. The woman was worried she might make a fool of herself. Chris had a good understanding of these social circles. The women would tease those who were unattractive and dressed inappropriatel
Had Chris gone to work? It was a Saturday. Why would he have to work on a Saturday? Last night, Chris said he would take charge of her look for the dinner tonight. However, he was not home. What should she do? She had a few hours left before the dinner. “Paige…” Someone knocked on the door—it was Luna. Paige went to answer the door. “Luna.” Luna smiled and said, “Paige, I’m going to get my hair done. Are you coming with me?” Paige hesitated. Chris said his team would handle her look for the dinner. However, he was not around and did not leave her a message. She did not know how to arrange things in his absence. Maybe Chris had forgotten. Paige believed she should go out with Luna to get her look done. Right before she could say yes, her phone rang. Paige said, “I have to take this first.” Luna nodded with a smile. Paige turned around and looked for her phone on the bed. When she saw Chris’ name on the screen, she quickly answered it. “Hello?” “Are you
“You’re back…” Paige said shyly. “Mhmm.” Chris nodded. He walked in and stared at her chest. Paige felt uncomfortable due to his stare. She instinctively covered her chest with her hands. What was he looking at? She chose a dress with straps. It was not sexy, and the cutting at her chest was of a higher cut. What should not be exposed was not. Chris’ gaze, however, made her suspect that something was. Paige looked down at her chest but saw nothing unusual. Chris noticed her little reaction. He grinned. “Let’s go.” He then stopped looking at her. Paige was confused. He looked at her but did not say a word, so what did that mean? With that, she went up to him and followed him out. …The dinner was held at a socialite’s house. Her house was a mansion. There was a huge garden, and the trees and bushes were decorated with beautiful lights. It was a feast for the eye. When they arrived, Paige realized it was not a dinner where a couple of girls sat down together ov
Shelly pondered. Paige went with an innocent and pure look, while her sister, Sierra, pretended to be a gentle and kind lady. Were the two Chris’ favorite types of women? He liked the obedient and kind type, and now the beautiful and bold type like her? Shelly smiled back at Paige before walking over to them. Paige easily located Shelly among the crowd. Shelly was a beautiful woman who stood out regardless of occasion. She was beautiful and strong. The slightest makeup would make her look stunning. All the girls around her would be overshadowed by her brightness. “Chris,” Shelly said to Chris with a beautiful smile. “I didn’t expect to see you here. I thought you would find it boring and not show up.” Paige looked at Shelly. She seemed to know Chris well. On second thought, it made sense since Shelly was close with Luna. So, it was not surprising that she knew Chris well. “It is boring. I never wanted to come,” Chris said. He looked at Paige. Why did he look a
The man smiled at Paige. “You stared at me and asked who I was. Are you going to ask for my number next? Are you trying to ask me out? Have you fallen in love with me?” Paige was stunned by the man’s unusual thinking. What was going on in his mind? He talked to her first, so she instinctively replied, asking who he was. Then, he simply assumed she loved him and wanted to ask him out. Had he lost his mind? What a pity. He was good-looking but slightly crazy. It seemed like God was fair in making him. “I did not,” Paige said seriously. She was a married woman. She could not just taint her reputation just like that. If Chris found out, she would be finished. Her sister betrayed Chris once. If she did the same, Chris would destroy her and her family. She could not just choose the suicidal path. “No? You didn’t fall in love with me?” The man asked with a grin. “No.” Paige puckered her lips. “Then are you trying to ask me out?”The man must be crazy. Paige turn
