Although Leo did not want the two to know each other, but now they are standing face to face, Leo had to introduce to Stephen: “Come, Stephen, this is my daughter, Skyler Mitchell.”
“Skyler, this is Stephen Duncan, the male son of Gale Technologies.”
This sounded to both of them as if he was saying, “Here, she’s your ex-fiancée, nah, he’s your ex-fiancé.”
Although they both met more than once, it seems … that they never asked each other what their names were … As a result, this formal introduction was actually much more awkward than so many times before.
Stephen reached out first, he is a man after all, in front of the lady still have to behave like a gentleman, he courteously spoke: “Hello, I am Stephen Duncan.”
Skyler was mute from the moment she opened the door and saw him. When she was on the elevator earlier, she was curious about what he was, the manager of another company? Or was he the majority shareholder of their family company? He actually pressed the 26th floor and wanted to go directly to her father!
It is really unexpected that the object of the previous injustice is actually the unlucky man who was rejected by her a few years ago. She thought she was really disgusted with him at that time, and she hated the kind of life that she obviously had no success but could live by virtue of the results of other people’s efforts.
And he, is not the kind of male who flies in the flowers all day long?
So when she heard that her marriage partner was him, her heart was a thousand and one reluctant, even if she did not know Leon at that time, that is, to press him to the guillotine, she would have righteously refused him!
But after these two little incidents, he, Stephen Duncan, was not as bad as she had heard at the time, ah. The hard mouth and soft heart, but also quite concerned about others, and will take the initiative to apologize for doing something wrong, unlike her, to apologize, she found it more difficult than heaven.
“So she’s Skyler, so she’s the fiancée who somehow dumped me!”
This is the only thought in Stephen’s mind, but why when he saw her, he did not feel the kind of hatred he had expected, he did not hate her at all, on the contrary, he was even more and more interested in her.
“I didn’t expect such a coincidence, it’s the third time we’ve met, I can’t believe I just learned your name, I’m really sorry about what just happened, why don’t I buy you a drink.” Stephen took a look at her crushed right hand and said thoughtfully.
Skyler went along with him, “I meant that too, the other day on the road, when I apologized to you for my unreasonableness, and also to show your appreciation for helping me fix my car.”
Leo saw them ask each other to drink something was stunned, they already know each other, who introduced them to each other? There was no room for him to think, and the two people in front of him were very friendly and went to drink together.
The two of them went to a bar with a special tone, not at all like the bars she had seen before, pandemonium, smoke, men and women with blurred faces everywhere.
Stephen simply ordered two glasses of wine that were not too high in degree and took the initiative to break the deadlock: “I didn’t expect our third meeting to be like this, to be honest, you are very different from what I imagined.”
Skyler smiled faintly, “Why what kind of image did I have in your eyes before? Why am I now turning your perception of me upside down?”
Stephen looked at the crystal chandelier hanging overhead, chandelier decorated with sparkling glass crystals limited dazzling, Stephen said thoughtfully: “You, before I met you in my heart is the kind of woman who will easily draw conclusions about a person without distinguishing between red and white. When I met you, I thought you were rude and unreasonable and self-willed, but when I saw you for the third time today, I thought you were still a pretty good person.”
“As for why I think you’re nice, I don’t know it’s just an underlying feeling of people getting along with each other!” Stephen said.
Skyler played with the napkin on the table, “So don’t you want to ask me how I see you?”
Stephen surprised her by shaking his head, the corners of his mouth curled, “I don’t want to know, and I think what’s the point of you knowing that? If I remember correctly, I was married a few years ago …”
Skyler argued, “What’s wrong with being married? What law says a married woman can’t be normal friends with a man she’s not married to?”
“In my eyes there is no pure friendship between men and women, there are only extraordinary relationships between men and women.” Stephen answered her this way, he wanted to express to her that he was not casual at all, so that she would completely doubt her life and doubt that all her judgments about him at that time were wrong.
Skyler was really confused by him, but he has always been a straightforward, what there is to say character: “I heard before that you are an uncompromising playboy?”
“What? Did the first meeting today turn your imagination of me upside down? What you see with your eyes is the real thing. Do you see me now as I was rumored to be?” Stephen said with a smile, except that his smile at that moment was a little more restrained than the way he had smiled when they had those chance events.
“We’ve only met for the third time today, what kind of person are you? How can I know?” Skyler snickered, “Maybe you’re showing all this to me on purpose, to hide your uncompromising nature.”
Stephen only felt strange in his heart, and the words he said became a little shady: “Then it seems I didn’t behave well enough to still make you think of me in that way.”
By now the wine had been served, Stephen held the bottle in one hand and the glass in the other, helping himself and Skyler pour a small glass of wine, his middle and index fingers holding the bottom of the tall glass: “I’m not doing well, I’ll drink up first.”
Skyler was a little hesitant, she usually rarely drank, and was not sure what she would look like after drinking? So looking at the golden liquid held in the wine glass in front of her, she was torn inside.
Stephen read her mind at a glance, he spoke quietly and raised an eyebrow at her: “Don’t worry, this wine has little degree, don’t worry to drink it!”
People have said so, she was too embarrassed to refuse, so she had to hold the glass of wine to her mouth and take a small sip, the bitter and spicy taste immediately filled her entire mouth, so difficult to drink the wine, how can someone for it as drunk as it?
