“Scarlet is sweet and cute, with a naive appearance that can be both charming and elegant.”
“Rose is an ice queen, strong-willed with a fierce temperament that exudes queenly vibes. She can hold her own and her personality rivals any man’s.”
“Madeline may be small in stature but she has a heart full of ambition. She refuses to settle for the status quo and actively works towards achieving her dreams.”
“Katrina has an imposing presence with striking features and a fiery personality. She’s considered one of the most beautiful women in Niarak, but if she were more refined or gentle, she could easily outshine everyone else.”
“I may not compare to them in certain aspects, but I am better at managing my household affairs. I also consider myself just as attractive as they are and possess intellectual prowess too.”
“You’re already successful on your own merit; your woman only needs to stay home to raise children while I am willing to do anything for you!”
Callie poured out her thoughts without reservation under the influence of alcohol.
Proud all her life due to her family background, looks, talent, Callie was undoubtedly Niarak’s most eye-catching princess.
Compared to other heiresses from wealthy families, Callie was far superior, making it difficult for many men in Niarak even attempt courting her.
From birth until now, Callie had never developed feelings for anyone except Flynn who was the first person who made an impression on her.
Flynn was shocked by what he heard; he stared blankly before finally reacting after some time passed asking, “Katrina aside… Rose likes me too?”
“Miss Pearce, you’ve had too much drink,” said Flynn trying his best not to show his surprise at how different Callie acted compared to usual times when she acted like a proper lady.
No wonder why Callie tried so hard earlier pouring him drinks; it turned out that she wanted liquid courage instead!
“I haven’t drunk much!” said Callie waving off Flynn’s concern before continuing. “Rose looks at you differently than others do. Women understand each other best,” explained Callie confidently.
“She may not have feelings for you yet but trust me when I say that you stand out from other men in Rose’s eyes. Don’t try lying about it.”
“Flynn, I know right now you don’t like me. It doesn’t matter.”
“I will prove through my actions that no girl is more suitable than me.”
“I will wait until after your divorce!”
Flynn furrowed his brows deeply upon hearing this statement before reluctantly saying, “Miss Pearce… I know what you’re doing… You’re grateful because I saved your life…”
“But it wasn’t anything significant… You’re being impulsive right now so go back home quickly and get some rest!” ordered Flynn dismissively as he waved over their driver who had been waiting nearby.
He then quickly escaped into the passenger seat like running away.
Honestly speaking, Callie’s talent, knowledge and detached temperament that transcended the mundane world was an existence that countless men cannot touch, but Flynn had no interest in her.
“She must be a flash in the pan. She won’t have such thoughts when she wakes up from drinking.”
Flynn thought this way and didn’t take it too seriously.
But as she watched Flynn leave, Callie’s eyes were incredibly firm. She said to herself, “Flynn, I won’t give up or be discouraged. In the future, I will definitely have a place in your heart!”
Flynn returned to Plenilune Mountain at eleven o’clock at night. He took a simple shower and lay on his bed when he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance on his pillow.
The scent of Rose’s body and shampoo.
He couldn’t sleep anymore.
“That iceberg woman uses me as her pawn every day. How could she have feelings for me?”
“She treats people like they owe her millions of dollars all day long without even cracking a smile. Her coldness can make any man wither!”
“Callie must be crazy.”
Flynn threw the pillow aside and took out a new one from the closet to lean against his headboard.
Just then, the phone rang.
“Cruz War God, are you free tomorrow?” Scarlet’s coquettish voice came through with a hint of laughter hidden within it.
Flynn was stunned and immediately became annoyed, “I’m not free!”
This woman Rose just wanted to create some smoke screens by making noise here while doing something else over there to scare Layla and others into being more cautious before taking action.
Although it was impossible for them to scare away, it will at least make them think twice before acting rashly.
She also wanted to use Cruz’s influence to boost her own enterprise morale by gaining more external support.
Flynn was disdainful of this behavior; moreover he was irritated that Rose did not believe in his abilities so he did not tell Rose who would stand guard tomorrow during the Pharma Congress.
He wanted to give Rose a shock and let this woman know that he was still very powerful!
“Okay! Ms. Sharp is also being cautious after all since those three families are not easy targets. If you coordinate with Cruz secretly, your chances of winning will increase!” Scarlet knew about Flynn’s current frustration so she stopped joking around with him and changed topics, “I went to the company this afternoon and looked at drafts from several decoration companies. I don’t really like their design style so I want another decoration company which specializes in minimalist bright styles.”
“Do you have time tomorrow afternoon? Also, have you decided on what name we should use for our newly acquired real estate company?”
A few days ago, Flynn spent millions acquiring a small-scale real estate company.
He wasn’t interested in doing business and appointed Scarlet as the general manager, then had Marcel invite a decoration company to come and redecorate.
After the Kaur family banquet, Scarlet met with the decoration team and didn’t like their design proposal. She planned to go to the decoration company tomorrow and explain her requirements in detail.
“What’s the name?” Flynn thought for a moment and said, “Let’s call it Orco Real Estate!”
“I have to represent Energence Pharmaceuticals at the Pharma Congress tomorrow to release our new drug. After that, there may be a company dinner, so I might not have time.”
Scarlet felt speechless after hearing this. This guy was just playing around with his own company! He didn’t even consider his own business important enough compared to dinner!
“Madeline is also going to the Pharma Congress, so I’ll follow her,” Scarlet said. “Since Energence Pharmaceuticals has many things going on tomorrow, I’ll go by myself in the afternoon.”
“But I saw news that Braiden will also promote Acebegron Clear Relief at the Pharma Congress and invited a top-tier celebrity and renowned doctor Garrett as well.”
“If you release it tomorrow, your effect won’t be good. Why don’t you change your timing?”
The news report didn’t say which celebrity it was but one thing was certain: with the Swanson family’s financial resources and influence they definitely invited an A-list celebrity.
Garrett went without saying; he was Roman’s famous apprentice whose medical skills were ranked among Ostrad’s top ten.
“Change timing?” Flynn sneered disdainfully; he didn’t even want anything about this matter, “There’s no better time than tomorrow!”
Seeing how confident Flynn was about this matter made Scarlet stop talking about it altogether, “Many people will attend tomorrow; almost all of Niarak’s elites will be present there too. What kind of clothes do you like me wearing?”
Flynn became confused for a moment, “What does what you wear have anything related with them?”
“Do you want to use this opportunity? To find yourself someone rich?”
“What are you thinking!” Scarlet got angry, “I want to wear my most beautiful clothes so that I can keep your eyes on me!”
“So that way you won’t get distracted by other women again like last time at Fish Dragon Villa!”
“How about this? Last time when we went over there together, you said my outfit looked pretty nice on me while complimenting my stockings’ texture! I’ll just wear that outfit!”
“The texture is good?” Flynn paused for a moment before coughing twice denying firmly, “Impossible! There’s no way I ever said something like that!”
After speaking these words out loud, he hung up abruptly.
After hanging up the phone, Flynn felt a wave of frustration. He could handle Rose’s cold demeanor, but he couldn’t believe Scarlet was also getting involved.
“But, those stockings Scarlet wore were really beautiful…”
The criss-cross patterned bodysuit paired with ultra-thin pure black stockings that hugged her legs perfectly and shone like polished jade made her legs look stunningly alluring. It was hard not to feel something…
