Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Xavier glanced at Halston. He was feeling pity for his good friend.
See? This is the kind of woman Halston ended up with after letting his first love go.
shame!
Flossie could not be bothered explaining. She told the righteously indignant Xavier, “So? What’s my punishment?”
Xavier was momentarily stunned.
He had not really thought about how to punish her.
Because he felt that, although his question pried into personal matters, it was not difficult to answer.
If Flossie liked Halston even a little, or if she had given her virginity to Halston, she simply had to tacitly admit it.
But she would rather accept punishment than do that…
Sigh. Once again, Xavier quietly took pity on his good friend Halston.
Right then, the performance on stage ended.
Xavier said, out of a lack of better option, “Maybe you can go on stage and sing a song for us or something”
He thought that Flossie was already good at studying and an expert gamer. Surely she must be terrible at singing. Let her make a fool of herself on stage. Consider it a small revenge for Halston.
However, Flossie was not shy at all. She smoothened her long hair and confidently stepped onto the stage.
She sat down on the tall chair and hugged the acoustic guitar, her long fingers flicking the strings.
With just two notes, she grabbed the attention of all the guests in the bar.
“>> A long, long time ago, you’re mine, and I’m yours. A long, long time ago, you left me and flew far away… ♪♪”
Flossie’s voice flowed like water, smooth and pleasant to the ear, filling up the air in the bar.
Her voice carried a tinge of sadness, as if there were a lot of stories behind it…
Many people in the bar immersed themselves in her song. Some could not help but shed tears.
Among them was Xavier.
He wiped away his tears and said indignantly, “Bro, why didn’t you tell me your wife could sing so beautifully? She’s… she’s getting all the attention. It’s so beautiful!”
“This is the first time I’ve heard her sing myself.”
Halston’s eyes had never left Flossie.
The light shone on the woman, making her look dazzling and out of his reach.
Meanwhile, Christopher was looking at Flossie from the second floor too. His gaze became deeper.
No wonder Halston was able to let go of his past so easily!
After the song, Flossie gracefully stepped down from the stage. Without even looking at Halston, she said to the others, “Alright, punishment served. I have to go. You guys can continue without me.”
“If the boss is leaving, why would we stay?”
The lawyers stood up one after another and followed after her wholeheartedly.
In the booth, Halston and Xavier sat surrounded by empty seats. It was a bit awkward.
Halston continued to sit there gracefully without a word, as if he was still immersed in Flossie’s song.
After a long time, he said faintly, “Let’s go.”
“ait, that’s it?”
Xavier said, “Bro, what about my request? Hurry up and introduce me to the lawyer called Zack Rosenwell!”
Rosenwell.”
“What?!”
Xavier felt like crying. He should just break his legs himself instead of waiting for his father to do it.
Upon leaving the bar, Flossie said goodbye to Zack and the other lawyers and stood alone by the roadside to wait for her ride.
The cool night breeze brushed against her cheeks, making her feel refreshed.
Her figure was graceful in the white dress, her hair fluttering slightly in the wind like a waterfall. There was not much emotion on her delicate face, but there was a hint of sadness there, as if it hid many stories.
Quite a few men stopped their cars and either honked or whistled at her, wanting to take her for a ride, but she scared them away with her fierce gaze.
Another car stopped nearby. Flossie was ready to roll her eyes again. The window slowly rolled down to show Halston inside.
Her gaze changed from a fierce one to a cold one, as if she did not even know him.
“Need a ride?”
Halston invited in a low voice.
“Nope, wouldn’t want you to go out of your way!”
A direct refusal from Flossie.
Halston: ” ”
Go out of his way? They lived next to each other.
But, it seemed the woman’s dislike of him was obvious. She was not even trying to hide it.
What Halston could not figure out was, if she really had no feelings for him, how could she become the author of the most popular fanfic about them? She did not seem like she had multiple personality disorder.
There’s only one explanation – she’s pretending!
Upon coming to that conclusion, Halston’s mood suddenly brightened.
He did not even mind Flossie publicly embarrassing him in the bar earlier anymore. He told himself that it was because women always acted contrary to how they really felt.
With his long fingers on the steering wheel, Halston tilted his head slightly and told Flossie, “Get in the car. I’ll tell you some things about the Guajardos & Co. Law Firm. The law firm isn’t as simple as you think it is.”
“I’m alright, thanks.”
Flossie smiled and lifted her chin high like a swan, aloof and proud. “I think I can handle it, at least better than you can.”
Halston’s eyes darkened for a moment. He said, “You really think everything would be smooth sailing after you took care of Zack Rosenwell with some petty tricks? The one who’s really difficult to deal with in Guajardos & Co. isn’t him.”
Flossie knew Halston was talking about Sandra Lee, the partner she had yet to meet.
The career woman with a strong attitude and outstanding abilities was the true backbone of
Guajardos & Co.
If Flossie could not get past the obstacle that was Sandra Lee, Guajardos & Co. would still be like a hot potato that she could not eat nor throw away!
Halston’s cold eyes were as sharp as a hawk’s. He did not miss the slightest change in Flossie’s expression.
He saw her doubts. Therefore, he generously gave her the chance to choose again.
“The divorce agreement hasn’t come into effect yet. If you’re regretting it, get on the car and we’ll renegotiate the distribution of assets. I’ll agree to any request you have as long as it’s not unreasonable. There’s no need to use your uncle as a cover.”
In Halston’s opinion, he was already doing the best he could as a future ex-husband. At the very least, he never thought of treating her unfairly in terms of money.
Flossie lifted her thin eyebrows slightly, her lips curled into a faint smile, “Thank you, Mr. Guajardo, but rest assured from the moment I agreed to the divorce, every decision I made and every word I said came from the bottom of my heart. I will never regret them.”
The arrow had already been let fly. How could a dead heart come back to life with only a few good words?
Halston narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to discern whether her words were true.
At that moment, a silver sports car pulled up from behind.
