Chapter 173: Chapter 173 No love no marriage
Stephan’s thin lips parted, his voice low and firm.
“For years, I was single because I was yet to meet the woman made for me. I don’t do flings, I could never bring myself to even hold hands with someone I wasn’t in love with and you think I can marry someone I don’t love?”
Darla froze. So love was very important to him?
No love, no marriage...
Stephan continued, “So now that I’m in love, I’ll ensure I marry the person I love. Miss Gordon, I have no feelings for you, so I have no intention of marrying you. So, just mind your own business. Don’t meddle in other people’s affairs, your behavior only makes me resent you.” With that, he grabbed his things and walked straight to the front desk to pay, completely ignoring Darla, who was still standing behind him.
Darla watched the man’s cold, indifferent back as he walked away, biting her lip tightly.
She felt a deep sense of resentment.
Why couldn’t she be the one he falls in love with?
“A woman chasing a man is like a thin veil between them.” She didn’t believe that, with her relentless pursuit, she wouldn’t be able to win him over.
It was only a matter of time.
She clenched her fists and said, “Stephan, one day, I will make you kneel at my feet
and become my devoted husband!”
************
While waiting for Stephan to return, Alana received a call from Eve.
She told Eve that she had returned from her hometown, and that Stephan had personally picked her up at the airport.
Eve was surprised. “He’s so good to you, in this cold?”
“Yeah, he seemed to been waiting for a long time too. Bringing my flowers and wrapping me up in his jacket.”
“Holy crap, I never would’ve guessed, he’s actually pretty smooth.”
Who could resist a man like that?!
Alana must have been completely overwhelmed with emotion at that moment, right?!
Alana unconsciously recalled that moment, she had felt so special to him.
Now she found herself falling over all for him, falling head over heels.
“Eve, tell me, do you now think he’s sincere about me?”
“Ugh, don’t make me say it. I’m jealous because I don’t get to experience that.”
Alana pouted.
The corners of her mouth turned up slightly. “Doesn’t your boyfriend treat you like that?”
Eve replied indignantly, “No! Not at all! The only thing he does is fuck me all day and night.”
Alana’s ears flamed at how vulgar Eve’s words were.
After a moment’s hesitation, she asked,
“But you always praise him before, that he gets you nice things and a nice car...”
She knew how much material things makes Eve happy.
Eve was visibly upset. “He’s been working me over like this in bed, I can’t start explaining how he is in bed and his awful kinks that I have to endure, giving me some money is just compensation for my hard work! You have no idea what kind of living hell I go through every single night! So, I deserve every penny he has!”
Alana friends.
She wondered, what exactly did it mean to be tormented in bed to the point where life was worse than death?
She knew Stephan was mostly insatiable but she also enjoyed sleeping with him.
Eve sounded as if she was genuinely fed up with her boyfriend’s bedroom activities.
Could it be... that Eve was suffering some kind of horrific abuse from her boyfriend in bed?!
She tried to reason with her earnestly, “Eve, if you don’t feel comfortable being with him, then just break up.”
Eve grumbled, “Do I need you to tell me that?! As soon as I’ve made enough money, I’ll kick him to the curb and walk away!”
Alright, her friend was level-headed after all; she’d overreacted.
As if something had just occurred to her, she spoke up, “Eve, I forgot to tell you
something, Cole... he’s shown up.”
Eve gasped, “What?! You mean the same Cole who abandoned you?! The Cole whom you had loved so much.”
Alana sighed. “Yeah. But I do not love him anymore.”
Her heart no longer fluttered for him. It only did for Stephan now.
Cole nodded. “It’s good that you don’t. You have new feelings and a new person now, you should cut all ties with the past completely!”
She paused for a moment. “But you said he showed up. He hasn’t been bothering you, has he?”
Hearing this, Alana didn’t hide anything from her and recounted everything that had
happened with Cole recently.
Including the fact that he was now her boss and that she had been handpicked by him to be his assistant.
“Holy shit! He’s clearly got his eyes on you! Could it be that he’s genuinely interested in you, so he showed up again to try and win you back? But even so, the nerves of that guy! Does he seriously think you can forgive him for everything?!”
“I have no ill feelings towards him. In fact, when I look at him now, there’s just indifference. I just want him to leave me alone. Plus, I already have a boyfriend. And even if I didn’t, I still wouldn’t have taken him back.”
Eve said, “I think that since he went to such lengths to find you and show up in front of you, he doesn’t seem like the type to give up easily. He might keep pestering you. You can guess his intentions just from the fact that he asked you to be his assistant!”
Eve couldn’t help but get curious, her gossipy side taking over. “Does your boyfriend know about Cole yet? How did he react to Cole? Did he feel threatened and want to keep you glued to his side, preventing you from having any contact with Cole?”
She was really looking forward to the scene of two men fighting over one woman, fiercely competing for her!
It would definitely be thrilling and intense!
Who would come out on top?
She couldn’t wait!
“Um, he doesn’t know yet.”
Eve’s anticipation, which had been brimming to the brim, suddenly crashed
down with a thud!
“What?”
“Aren’t you going to tell him?"
Alana was puzzled. “What’s there to tell him? If I tell him about Cole, it’ll make it seem like I care about him. If I don’t tell him, nothing will happen. If I do, it might even put our relationship at risk. Let’s be honest, who would just casually tell their boyfriend about an ex who was their new boss now?”
Wasn’t that just asking for trouble?
Eve exclaimed excitedly, “Lana! Don’t you want to see two men fighting over you?!”
