Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
There was an uncontrollable joy in Flossie’s eyes.
If Halston really was marrying Jessanna Ximenez, he would definitely not be interested in Flossie’s children anymore.
After all, Jessanna Ximenez was not a benevolent woman. There was no way she would be willing to become a stepmother. She would definitely stop Halston from taking Flossie’s children.
“Oh god, please let them get married as soon as possible. I’ll feel at ease when they do.”
Flossie said excitedly.
Haze studied Flossie’s reaction with a frown. “Are you just acting tough?”
“Do I look like I’m acting tough?”
Flossie was so happy that she began to indulge in her food.
Haze said, ‘ After you and Halston left the Baldwin family four years ago, I had a really rough time. My grandfather, my father, my mother… took turns admonishing and humiliating me. They said I’m useless because I couldn’t win over your heart. Therefore, when they learned that you’re back, they celebrated like it was Christmas. They said I have to make you mine at all costs.”
“Really? What kind of costs are the Baldwin family willing to pay?”
Flossie asked with a smile.
“Not much. Just an endless amount of money.”
Flossie raised her eyebrows and said, “I don’t need money at the moment.” “Don’t be so quick to reject. I know you and the Azure Group are planning something big. You’re gonna need money…”
Haze bumped his glass against Flossie’s. “The Baldwin family has moved some industries to Beach City. I look forward to our pleasant cooperation.”
Flossie was a bit confused.
But from what she knew of this man, those were definitely not just empty words. He’s definitely taking action!
After dinner, the two of them took the elevator downstairs.
The night had deepened, and the scenery had become even more beautiful.
While the elevator was slowly descending, Flossie recalled the legend Mandy told her for some reason.
Would two people who understood each other really run into each other here?
Haha, it was probably just a joke to fool children.
Flossie smiled a little. Then, she lifted her eyes, and she completely froze!
In the elevator that was going up across from them stood Halston with his hands in his pockets. His handsome face was as cold as always. His deep eyes happened to meet hers…
However, the encounter was too brief. It came and went in an instant, like two meteors that streaked past each other.
One of them was going up while the other was going down. Neither of them stopped for the other.
“Hah, it seems Mr. Top Donor still cares about you. He’s here for the dinner appointment.”
When they arrived at the ground floor, Haze joked with a playful grin.
“He can do whatever he wants. It’s none of my concern.”
Flossie walked gracefully to the parking lot, as if the encounter had never happened.
‘You’re not gonna go up and have a chat with him?”
‘The agreed time for the dinner is from 8 pm to 11 pm. It’s already a quarter past 11. It’s his fault that he came late. My time’s precious too. Why should I stay for him?”
Flossie words were both rational and ruthless.
“True. Maybe he’s here for a a dinner date with Jessanna Ximenez. Otherwise, his expression wouldn’t have been so cold when you saw each other just now, as if he didn’t even know you.”
Haze put his hands in his pockets and analyzed in detail while looking up at the top of the tower.
Flossie made no reply. She took out her car key and pressed the button to start the car.
“It’s getting late. We should go home. See you next time!”
Flossie waved her hand at Haze. Her beautiful face was expressionless, devoid of any emotion.
“I take that as a promise that there will be a next time.”
Haze reluctantly said goodbye to Flossie.
Tsk tsk. He waited four years for this, but they parted ways again after just one dinner. He was far from satisfied.
However, compared to Halston who only had a few seconds of encounter with her, he seemed to be much luckier.
Flossie’s red sports car whizzed through the night and quickly disappeared. It moved forward without turning back, just like Flossie who would never look back after making up her mind!
At the same time, Halston was standing in front of the French window of the 520 top floor restaurant, looking out of the window with a cold expression.
The brief encounter with Flossie just now felt so unreal.
Although he had already seen her in the video, seeing her when they were only one step away from each other felt completely different…
Halston had to admit that his calm heart had rippled uncontrollably the moment his eyes met the woman’s.
Of course, he was confident enough to believe that Flossie must have felt the same way. In fact, maybe the encounter caused more than just ripples in her heart. Maybe it caused waves!
Halston adjusted his pose, trying to look his coolest while waiting for Flossie to come back up.
He had even thought of the first thing he would say to her later: “Don’t misunderstand. I’m just passing by.”
No, that was terrible.
“Long time no see. I wonder how a 4 million dollar dinner would feel like.”
But wouldn’t that expose his identity as the top donor? It’s too embarrassing!
Maybe: ”Fancy seeing you here. What brought you back to Beach City?”
But that felt…… too sarcastic?
Minutes passed. Halston had gone through dozens of possible lines but Flossie was still nowhere to be seen.
‘Damn it, is this woman playing hard to get?’
The arrogant CEO could not stand it anymore. He turned towards the restaurant entrance.
Apart from the staff, there was no one else there!
