Chapter 1584
“Cornelia, do you reckon we can escape Zavier’s watchful eyes?”
Hannah knew they couldn’t and dropped her head in defeat. “Does this mean we’ll never get to see Skyler again?”
“We’ll meet if it’s meant to be.” Cornelia assured her.
Hannah was about to say something more when she saw a group of customers rushing in the opposite direction, chattering as they went. “Why the hurry?”
“I thought you don’t care for celebrities?” someone called back. “Which star is worth this much attention?”
“No celebrity. The man we’re all eager to see is the CEO of Dixon Group, Steven “e2
“Heard he’s down at the first floor getting a cup of coffee. Everyone’s flocking to catch a glimpse.” This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“What’s so special about the CEO of Dixon Group?”
“Handsome men are many; wealthy men are many; but men who are both? They’re rare. And when such a gem is nearby, why not take a look?”
“You think by seeing him, you’ll get a share of his money? Or by laying eyes on him, you’ll carry his child?”
“What happened to a little romance or curiosity in your life?”
“Enough with the arguing. I heard he’s even more attractive in person than in photos or online…”
Hannah and Cornelia couldn’t help but overhear the lively chatter around them.
Cornelia smirked, “Your Mr. Dixon seems quite popular. Aren’t you worried he might be stolen by another woman?”
“Let them try. See if I care.” Hannah turned to look downstairs where the coffee shop was packed with onlookers.
She quickly grabbed her phone, accepted Steven’s earlier friend request, and sent him a message, [I don’t appreciate being gawked at like a spectacle. Get your coffee and don’t bother looking for me.]
Then she put away her phone, raising an eyebrow in disdain, “C’mon, Nelly, let’s go shopping.”
“Are you sure you don’t care?” Cornelia asked.
“You said it yourself, a man who can be stolen will be stolen eventually. Today seems like a good day to put him to the test.”
“Mmm, let’s hit the stores then.”
“It’s been so long since I’ve enjoyed a good shopping spree. I’m going all out today and buying all the new arrivals.” Hannah led Cornelia into a high-end boutique.
Cornelia remembered this brand well, not because of its prestige, but because when she was Marcus’ assistant, she once chose a bag from here for Marcus’ wife, oblivious to the fact that
she was his wife. Then Marcus thought his wife was unfaithful, the bag wasn’t gifted, and Cornelia ended up selling it for him.
That incident, years ago, was still vivid in her mind, as if it happened just yesterday. Perhaps it was then that Marcus had left a lasting impression on her.
