Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
“Halston Guajardo?” Flossie instantly came to her senses when she heard that, and quickly averted her gaze, gritting her teeth.
Why did everyone have to bring up that man wherever she went? He was haunting her like a ghost!
Dino thought Flossie didn’t know who Halston was, so he started explaining earnestly, “Do you know what Halston looks like? If you don’t, I have a picture of him… See? Don’t you think he looks a lot like Julian?”
Flossie wasn’t in the mood to look at the picture. The only thing on her mind was how bad her luck was!
She’d finally met someone she felt attracted to after getting divorced, but he ended up being her husband’s lookalike. What kind of luck was that?!
Julian was still playing video games and couldn’t be bothered to look at Flossie again, but he scoffed when he heard their conversation. “Of course, she knows who Halston is. He’s her husband.”
The room went dead silent.
“What? This pretty lady… is actually Halston’s wife?” Dino’s face turned pale, and he quickly took a step back to distance himself from Flossie.
The other men stared at Flossie as if she was a monster, and kept their distance too.
“Money really doesn’t come easy, huh… I know our company wants us to spend time with clients, but I can’t believe our client today is Mr. Guajardo’s wife! This is putting our lives on the line… I don’t want your money!”
“Count me out too!”
The handsome men all took off their glamorous coats and complained, standing up to leave.
Flossie quickly tried to persuade them. “Hold on a minute, there’s no need to be afraid. My husband is very open-minded. He has fun with other women, and I have fun with other men, so it’s fair! Nothing bad will happen to you, I guarantee it!”
“Miss, I like you a lot, but I really can’t take your money. Please don’t tell anyone you saw us,
Please!”
The men waved goodbye as if they were sad about leaving, but right after that, they ran out of the room as if they were running for their lives.
“Wait, don’t leave! I’ll give you more money. How about it?” Flossie tried again, but the men fled the room regardless. She was speechless.
She and Halston were not publicly divorced, so to outsiders, they were still a married couple. Who would dare come between them?
This wasn’t the first time Flossie had come out to play, but every time she did, her identity as Halston’s wife would eventually be exposed, and the fun would soon be over.
Flossie was devastated by how close she had come to a good time.
The room that was previously full of handsome men was now empty, except for Little Halston Guajardo who was still playing his video games in the corner of the room.
“How boring!” Flossie let out a long, disappointed sigh. She picked up her purse and stood up to leave.
Although the man seated there made her heart race, she lost interest as soon as she found out, his nickname was Little Halston Guajardo.
“Hold on,” the man said suddenly, and stopped playing his game. He looked nonchalantly at Flossie. “Are you this desperate for a man’s attention?”
“Huh?” Flossie was dumbfounded.
Julian stood up, revealing a tall and lean figure. Now Flossie knew why he was the face of the boy group – his attractiveness said it all!
“Are you sure your husband doesn’t mind that you’re out here chasing after men?” Julian asked, raising an eyebrow.
“What does that have to do with you?” Rence snapped, annoyed.
This man truly lived up to his nickname. Besides his appearance, his cold demeanor, arrogant. expression, and vicious tongue were very similar to Halston’s.
This was definitely karma!
“Of course it has something to do with me,” Julian scoffed.
The man approached Flossie one step at a time, his eyes every bit as icy as Halston’s. “You paid me, so I have to make sure you get your money’s worth. Tell me… How would you like to play?”
“Umm…” Flossie couldn’t get any words out, no matter how hard she tried.
The man was a little too close for comfort. His handsome face, which reminded her of Halston, seemed even more attractive up close. Flossie’s heart was beating fast, and she began to feel nervous.
His eyes looked identical to Halston’s… It was almost as if he could see right through her.
The only difference she could see was that Halston’s eyes held a steely dominance, whereas Julian’s weary gaze suggested he had been through a lot in life.
Flossie sighed softly. Humans were indeed creatures of habit.
Four years ago, it was love at first sight when she met Halston. Four years later, she fell for another man who looked just like Halston.
At this point, she couldn’t even tell if she was attracted to this handsome man or Halston.
“What are you thinking?” The man murmured. He moved even closer to Flossie, and she felt his warm breath on her skin. His deep voice was intoxicating and smooth, like wine going down her throat.
“Nothing. I should get going.” Flossie backed away, but she moved a little too fast and nearly fell.
The man reached out and easily caught her by the waist. “I might look like your husband, but I’m not him. What are you so afraid of?”
“I’m not afraid!” Flossie bit out, her cheeks flushed in anger.
However, she couldn’t deny that he was right. Why should she be afraid?
The other men ran away as soon as they heard she was Halston’s wife. Not only did this guy stay, but he even flirted with her. He clearly didn’t think much of Halston, so she ought to enjoy herself.
With this reasoning, Flossie started feeling much more comfortable. She stopped behaving shyly, and reached out to hold his chin. “I’m not afraid, kid. I’m just worried you might be afraid of me.”
This took him by surprise, and his eyes gleamed in interest. “Oh? Please explain.”
“You can’t handle me,” Flossie said challengingly.
Julian’s eyes widened. “According to the rumors, Mrs. Guajardo, you’re a prim and proper lady.
Does Mr. Guajardo know about your wild side?”
“Why should I tell him? He’s a cold person who doesn’t know a thing about romance. Apart from killing the mood, what else could he be capable of?” Flossie rolled her eyes in disgust.
To Flossie, Halston was trash that she’d already thrown away. She’d no longer reminisce about the past. The young man before her was much better, after all.
She continued teasing him. “What’s the matter? Did I scare you? Are you afraid to play with me now?”
