Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Halston lifted his luxury watch and checked the time. Then, he muttered under his breath, “I’ll give you ten more minutes!”
Ten minutes passed.
The restaurant manager cautiously approached Halston.
“Uhh, Mr. Guajardos…
With a serious look on his handsome face, Halston said coldly, “Is she finally here?”
“Huh? Who?”
The manager looked confused.
“Who do you think?”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Guajardo, I have no idea who you’re talking about…”
Halston’s perfect facial features almost disintegrated. Keeping his anger in check, he asked, “If you don’t know who I’m talking about, why are you talking to me?”
“I just want to inform you that we’re closing…”
The manager lowered his eyes and said cautiously.
In truth, their restaurant was supposed to close half an hour ago.
But because Halston Guajardo was posing in front of the window without the slightest intention of leaving, no one dared to tell him.
“Are you waiting for someone? Do you want us to call that person for you?”
The restaurant manager saw that Halston’s expression was as cold as ice, so he boldly asked.
“No need!”
Halston’s handsome face stiffened as his thin lips spat out those words.
He had to accept the reality that Flossie, that damn woman, actually dared to turn a blind eye to him!
In over 20 years of his life, he had rarely faced such setbacks. He had always been able to have anything he wanted.
The few times he had had all been because of Flossie. His feelings for her became a bit more complex. It aroused in him a strong desire to conquer her!
“So you don’t want to see me? I’ll make it so that you’ll beg to see me!”
He seemed to have formulated some kind of plan. He walked out of the restaurant and took the elevator downstairs.
The night was getting dark. The street lights were dim. There were almost no pedestrians on the streets. A car or two would roar past occasionally, bringing gusts of cold wind with them.
With a cold expression, Halston walked straight towards the outdoor parking lot.
*Honk!*
Suddenly, a car horn broke the silence, clearly meant to attract his attention.
He turned around and saw Flossie’s graceful figure lazily leaning against a red convertible sports car.
The woman’s beautiful face carried a touch of sexiness. Her rosy lips curled up in a seductive grin. ‘Long time no see, Mr. Guajardo.”
Halston’s heart pounded fiercely, as if a storm was roaring inside. He had never felt this emotional, but he remained calm and indifferent on the surface. His expression was extremely cold.
“Long time no see?”
His slender figure was wrapped in a chilly air. He approached the woman step by step and said, “That’s all you have to say after disappearing for four years?”
Flossie stared at the man who was approaching her. She could feel his suppressed anger. If that anger burst out of him, it should be pretty terrifying.
But she was not scared at all. She maintained a faint smile on her face and said nonchalantly, “Is there anything else to say?”
Halston took a deep breath and slightly loosened his fingers, trying to appear more relaxed. He snorted coldly.
“I thought you left with Justin Baldwin. Why did you come back?”
“I thought you have another appointment. Why are you here?”
Flossie smiled and asked him back.
She was not acting relaxed, she was actually relaxed. That made Halston seem like he was trying too hard in comparison.
This sense of powerlessness inexplicably made Halston angry. He hated the feeling of others controlling his emotion without being able to do anything about it.
“Enough, Flossie Ellsworth!”
He could no longer hold himself back. He reached out towards her thin shoulders and held her tightly in his arms…
Halston’s voice was cold and hoarse. His thin lips pressed against the woman’s ear. His words were painful and angry. “Flossie Ellsworth, you’re truly the most heartless woman I’ve ever met!”
The emotions that he had held inside for four years rushed out of him uncontrollably like an avalanche.
He hugged her really tightly, as if he wanted to crush her and incorporate her pieces into his own body… As if that was the only way he could ensure that she would remain in his life and not leave him again!
W W
His embrace was so tight that Flossie felt a bit painful. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
With her skills, she could easily drop him to the ground, but she did not resist. She let him hold her like a meek little rabbit.
The embrace that she once longed for was so strong, so powerful, and so warm, but… it no longer aroused anything in her heart.
It was easy to fall in love with someone and it was not that hard to let go of someone either. Four years was enough for her to completely let go.
After an embrace that felt both brief and long, Halston realized that he had reacted a bit too strongly. He slowly and reluctantly let go of her, but still stood very close to her.
“Don’t misunderstand. The embrace didn’t mean anything.”
Flossie nodded, “Understood.”
The woman’s calmness and composure made Halston inexplicably angry. It felt like… he had just launched a strong punch that hit a bed of cotton.
There was no impact at all.
He could effortlessly control everything except for this woman in front of him.
Not before, not now. This frustrated him to no end!
“If you’re so unhappy with me, why didn’t you push me away? You’re clearly capable of doing that!”
