Just as Xylia Xandrell had closed her eyes, waiting to fall.

Her body fell into the man’s embrace instead.

She opened her eyes and that devilishly handsome face close at hand made her breath catch and her heartbeat skip a beat.

Even if she thought Louis Lawrence was somewhat improper, she couldn’t deny.

This man was truly good-looking.

Although she wasn’t a fan girl, she watched TV often.

She thought that those so-called national male idols were no match for Louis Lawrence’s looks.

She leaned against his chest, seemingly able to clearly hear his strong heartbeat.

The temperature of her cheeks gradually rose, her breath seeming to slow down.

For a moment, she actually forgot to push him away.

It was only when the man’s deep, magnetic laughter spread by her ears that she suddenly came to her senses.

Immediately, she pushed him away with a blush on her face.

The girl stood there, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, her fingers uncomfortably twisting the corner of her clothes.

"Tsk, saved you twice in a row, shouldn’t you invite me to dinner?"

The teasing voice made Xylia even more angered, her beautiful eyes turning as she glared at him.

But that little look was not fierce at all, instead, it seemed rather alluring.

Especially with those slightly reddened eyes paired with her angry expression, making one want to hold her in their arms.

Louis looked at the girl, the amusement in his eyes deepening.

Although Xylia didn’t really like Louis, he had indeed saved her twice just now.

She pursed her lips, reluctantly speaking in a small voice.

"I’m going to eat with Bella later, you can come along."

She remembered that Bella Green and Louis Lawrence had a good relationship.

Eating together shouldn’t be an issue, instead of him clinging to this matter.

Unexpectedly, Louis shook his head.

"Isn’t it supposed to be a private dinner? Miss Xylia, you’re showing quite a lack of sincerity?"

The man’s eyebrow slightly raised, the amusement in his eyes swirling, carrying a flirtatious and wicked charm that made one’s heart miss a beat.

Listening to the man’s voice, Xylia gritted her teeth and lowered her head in frustration.

Why does this improper man have such a voice...

A voice so similar to his...

Xylia looked up at Bella Green, who had just changed and walked out, unwilling to tangle further with Louis.

"Alright, you decide the time and place."

After saying that, she strode off towards Bella.

Louis stood where he was, watching the girl flee in panic, and chuckled softly, a hint of indulgence flashing in his eyes.

Only when the girl’s figure vanished from sight did Louis turn his head.

Suddenly, his smile completely disappeared.

Emma Sutherland, who had appeared behind him at some point, was staring resentfully in the direction where Xylia had just left.

Louis’s gaze darkened, a sharp cold light bursting forth.

"Put away thoughts you shouldn’t have."

The cold voice made Emma’s heart skip a beat, and she quickly restrained her emotions, looking at Louis with a hint of fear in her eyes.

The usually smiling fox-like eyes now seemed like a blade against her throat, leaving her legs weak.

She hadn’t expected that a person could scare her so much with just a glance.

"What... what are you saying." Emma tried to pull her lips into a smile, but found it quite difficult.

Louis didn’t speak, merely gave her a warning look and was about to leave.

Watching the man’s indifferent demeanor, Emma felt her heart clutch in pain.

"Louis, do you really have to be so ruthless to me?"

Her voice was full of sorrow.
