Chapter 505 The Thrill Of Flirting

She had been raised a conservative, traditional woman of virtue since she was a child. She really could not bring herself to do this. Aside from the fact that her emotional connection to Zayn had deepened, even if this was back when Zayn was still a useless deadbeat, she would not allow herself to do something so outrageous. However, Miranda had already given her suggestion, so it would be inappropriate for Faye to refuse. She could only stay for the time being while she waited for Zayn’s arrival. Lucius took a seat next to her and poured her a glass of red wine. He said with a smile, “Ms. Carter, you don’t look like a married woman at all. You’re too young, too pure. I’ve encountered many young married women in my life, yet you don’t possess the qualities of one at all. I’m really curious as to how you do it.” From his seat right beside her, he leaned in close. As he was talking, he purposely placed his arm over the back of the sofa behind her. His posture was quite invasive and the scent of his expensive perfume was constantly stinging Faye’s nose. It made her feel very uneasy, so she hastily shifted away and maintained a safe distance from him. “Mr. Drakos, please don’t come so close. I’m married,” Faye declared righteously. She grabbed her handbag and used it to shield herself. She was on guard and taking every precaution. Lucius felt even more displeased to see Faye being so defensive. Rather than display his feelings outwardly, he kept his charming smile and said, “Ms. Carter, there’s no need for you to be nervous. I’m only trying to get to know you. I heard from Miranda that you’re the chairman of Neotech Lighting Co. That’s quite impressive. I bet that you’re the only young, beautiful chairman in all of Waltz City. I happen to be in the real estate business and this is my business card. My company frequently purchases lighting accessories, so if you’re interested, we could collaborate further.” He intentionally emphasized the word ‘further’. Moreover, his eyes were scanning Faye’s body to voicelessly express his desires. Faye was visibly intrigued. She heard about Eilam Realty before and it was considered a rather successful real estate company in Waltz City. It would genuinely be a good thing for Neotech Lighting Co if she could cooperate with them. She took Lucius’s business card, but the man harbored impure intentions. He made sure to touch her fingertips as he handed it to her, teasing her with a malicious grin. Faye’s expression changed drastically, but she hid her feelings as soon as they came, keeping herself from losing her temper. She took out her phone and sent a text message to Zayn asking where he was. She was disappointed that he did not reply. Lucius attempted to strike up a conversation by going through a variety of different topics. His charisma was so powerful that Faye was captivated. She could feel her heart racing, but fortunately, she was determined not to betray Zayn in any way, As a result, all of Lucius’s attempts at flirting with her were futile. He felt aggrieved that none of his tricks were working. Lucius was an arrogant man. He took pride in being the best in Waltz City when it came to flirting with women. There was no woman in the world that he could not have. The more Faye resisted, the colder she treated him, the more he wanted to take her down. Thus, he exhausted every means on her. What a waste that Faye was still completely indifferent after everything he did. In the end, he was enraged by her insolence. “Ms. Carter, I’ve already had so many glasses of wine, yet you didn’t drink even one. It’s not very nice of you to do this to me, is it?” Faye remained nonchalant as before. She shook her head and said, “I’m sorry. My husband doesn’t like it when I drink. He’ll get upset if I do.” At last, Lucius’s fury boiled over. His rage led him to burst into laughter. “So according to you, your husband is a very impressive man that you’re irrevocably devoted to, hmm?” “That he is, of course. My husband is the most perfect man in the world,” Faye declared with her head raised and eyes flashing brilliantly. Lucius was furious to see Faye’s apathy after all his efforts, so he subconsciously resented her husband. “I’d like to meet your husband actually, to see what kind of person he is,” Lucius responded with a sinister expression. Faye replied, “He’s on his way to pick me up, you’ll meet him later.” Upon saying that, Faye’s phone started ringing. She glanced at it and could not help feeling pleasantly surprised that it was Zayn. She picked up the call. “Hello, Zayn. Are you here?”
