Chapter 14 Stop Flattering Me!

  • What's all this about? I've had a busy day, that's what all this is about. Selena took a sip of her stew and said, "Like I said, I just miss you." She blinked as she spoke, but for some reason, Dimitri didn't notice her reaction. Thus, she pouted in an annoyed manner, wondering how she could ever soften the man up.
  • Then, she reached for the items she bought from the mall the day before and showed them to the man. "Look, Dimitri. I bought all these clothes for you. Hurry up and have a look at them. You're a handsome man, so you should probably stop wearing black." Selena didn't feel sorry for the amount of money spent on purchasing those clothes since it was Naomi's money she was spending.
  • Nevertheless, Dimitri only gave a cold glance at the items on the table and answered, "I don't like them. Get them out of my face."
  • Once again, Selena was rendered speechless after hearing the man's words. As she was about to say something more, the man interrupted and added, "Please stop flattering me, Serena. No matter what you do, I will not fall in love with you. When my Grandpa recovers, we're going to divorce."
  • Despite Dimitri's attempt to make Selena realize the truth, the lady didn't appear to be discouraged at all. Instead, she smiled at him and said, "You know what? You're starting to whet my appetite."
  • As soon as Selena finished her words, she put all the clothes on the table away and left. At the same time, Dimitri, who was watching her from behind, darkened in his face but couldn't deny the fact that Selena was the most unique lady he ever met. After that, he set his eyes on every corner of the house, feeling strangely warm on the inside.
  • The next day, Selena and Dimitri set off for the company together and only parted ways when they arrived. Then, she ran into Denise, who still seemed cocky as always after they last met two days ago. "I bet you didn't like being locked up in the washroom, did you, Serena? Haha."
  • Selena secretly rolled her eyes upward at the lady and pretended to look surprised. "Wait, what? Were you the one who locked me up in the washroom that day? Guess what? I want to thank you for that."
  • Upon hearing that, Denise gave Selena a strange gaze, wondering what was wrong with the lady. Is she out of her mind?
  • Selena smiled and pursed her lips. "When I was being locked up in the washroom that day, I went through my contact list for help, only to realize Dimitri's number was the only contact I had in the company. Thus, I called him. In just a matter of minutes, he arrived and got me out of there. If you hadn't locked me up in the washroom back then, I wouldn't have known how much I matter to Dimitri." As soon as she finished her words, she smiled and returned to her desk, belittling Denise on the inside. You're no match for me, Denise.
  • In the meantime, Denise only watched in disbelief as Selena walked away. What the heck is that peasant talking about? There is no way she'll ever matter to Dimitri. She then glared at Selena's desk shortly before she noticed the label on the latter's clothes that read 'AR'. Damn, that's my favorite brand!
  • Knowing how much that specific brand was in demand, Denise was aware that it was not a matter of money because of how hard it was to get one. For that, she grew jealous of Selena, thinking she didn't deserve to wear anything of that brand. Thus, she clenched her fists and whispered to herself, "Good show, Serena. Just wait and see."
  • After an idle morning, Selena saw Denise approaching her later in the afternoon. "Whoa, will you ever stop?" She put her hands behind her head and leaned into her chair, trying to see what Denise was going to do next.
  • "Serena, this is the celebrity who can potentially be the spokesperson for the men's clothing brand of our company. I'd like you to pay a visit to their company and close the deal."
  • Although Selena knew the offer wouldn't be an easy job, she couldn't help but think of Leah when she heard that it had something to do with clothing. Hmm, why won't these women ever stop messing with me? What are they really up to this time?
  • "Sure." Nonetheless, Selena accepted the challenge with grace and took the dossier in her hands.
  • When Denise saw that, a sinister smile flashed across her face.
