Chapter 484
This was the first time for Hailey to see such a play boy who was usually so free and easy, showing such a flustered expression, he could be…
“Mr. Laurence, you are acting all concerned and nervous, don’t you really fall in love with me?”
Cedric paused, gazing at Hailey’s beautiful face, lost in a moment.
He thought to himself, how could he fall for her?
They were together for three years, and he just couldn’t let go.
Cedric had been with so many women; it was impossible for him to fall for a divorced woman like her!
“Robin is my brother Bernard’s enemy, and you’re my ex-girlfriend. It’s better if you don’t get involved with him…”
Cedric’s weak excuse didn’t convince Hailey, but she didn’t question him further.
Cedric was too much of a womanizer, and Hailey, being a divorcee, wasn’t his ideal partner either.
Their three-year relationship was just a casual fling; neither of them should have caught feelings.
Hailey nodded: “It’s fine if you don’t…”
She then glanced at Norene, who was waiting for Cedric at the end of the hallway. “Norene might be a bit petty and have a temper, but that’s only because she cares about you. Since you chose to get back with her, treat her well and stop messing around. Women can’t handle that.”
With that, she pushed past Cedric and walked towards the elevator.
As the elevator doors closed, Cedric slowly took his hand off the wall.
Eleanor bought a few things that Hailey liked from the pastry shop and then entered the nightclub’s elevator.
As she stepped out, she looked up and met a pair of malicious eyes.
Startled, Eleanor quickly lowered her gaze and tried to move away.
“Stop!”
The melodic voice, like magic, made Eleanor freeze in her tracks.
She turned around and saw a tall man approaching her. “Can I help you, sir?”
She had to look up to talk to him, as he was about the same height as Bemard.
Robin looked down at her condescendingly. “You look familiar. Have we met before?”
Eleanor hesitated, as his opening line sounded like a pick-up attempt, but his expression was impatient.
She shook her head politely. “I don’t think so.”
As she tried to walk away, Robin grabbed her sleeve. “Hold on!”
Annoyed, Eleanor snapped, “Don’t touch me!”
She pulled her hand away and stepped back, bumping into a bodyguard.
The bodyguard grabbed her shoulders and pushed her towards Robin.
He didn’t touch her again but examined her face closely, from her eyebrows to her nose, lips, and figure.
Robin had forgotten to bring a photo, so he couldn’t recognize her.
He reached out to touch Eleanor’s face, hoping to recognize her by touch, but before his slim, delicate hand could reach her, someone grabbed his wrist from behind.
Before he could react, a tall, cold, and elegant man pulled Eleanor away and held her tightly. With his other hand, he gripped Robin’s wrist firmly. His charming eyes, usually filled with stars, suddenly turned dark and cold.
“Robin, do you want to die? How dare you touch my woman?!”
