L was speechless, to say the least.
Meanwhile, Terry noticed what was going on as well. He quickly said something to the investor before turning around and approaching L right away.
Pierre raised his handspromisingly once again. "Don''t be so nervous. Do I really look like a bad guy?"
Then, he huffed. "Terry, why are you being so cautious around me? We''ve been friends for so many years. Are you that wary of me?"
Terry felt like rolling his eyes. It was because of their long friendship that he knew what Pierre was like, resulting in him being wary of thetter.
He couldn''t do anything about Pierre and the other women he slept with in the past. However, L was out of Pierre''s bounds.
"I''m just here to apologize. It''s true that I didn''t think things through at the event. Here''s a gift from me. Please don''t take my actions to heart."
At that moment, Pierre lifted the bag he was holding to L, but she refused to nce at it.
"You don''t have to give me anything."
He wasn''t angry at all. "I always acknowledge my mistakes on the spot and own up to them right away. Are you saying that you want me to personally ce the bag in your arms?"
"You can hand it over to me."
Terry tried to intercept the gift, only for Pierre to avoid his hand.
"Terry, the way you''re being so protective over L makes me think that she''s your woman instead."
"Stop spouting nonsense!" A vein popped out of Terry''s temple at that moment.
Pierre''s lips curled into a devilish smirk. "Previously, I showed Dorian some respect by notying a finger on his woman."
"But she''s Mr. Morgan''s fiancée right now."
"Do you seriously believe that crap, Terry?" Pierre merely chuckled in disdain.
At that moment, Terry felt as though he was talking to a brick wall.
Was it that difficult to pick up the fact that Kieran cared about L?
Were Dorian''s punishment and the crash of Bolton Group''s stocks not enough to show how much he loved L?
"L." Pierre''s gaze fell on her face once again. "Don''t be so hasty in turning me down. Compared to Dorian, isn''t it obvious that I''m the better choice?"
Huh?
What was there topare between two pieces of trash anyway?
"I still have matters to tend to, so I gotta-"
Before L could finish her sentence, she was immediately cut off by Pierre. "Here''s the gift of apology."
Once again, the bag was passed to L.
She took a deep breath while gazing at the man before her frostily, knowing that he''d never let her go without achieving his purpose.
"Thanks."
In the end, L didn''t want to cause trouble for Terry, who was stuck as the middleman between her and Pierre.
She reached out to ept the gift. That was when Pierre''s fingers brushed against her hand casually, making her grow goosebumps all over her body.
However, he smiled at her, as if he had no idea what he had done. It was supposed to be a dazzlinge smile, yet she couldn''t help but feel ufortable for some reason.
"Pierre!" someone called out at that moment.
L quickly nced at the caller. It was the third-tier female celebrity who was talking to Pierre before getting on the stage.
She quickly looked away. "Let''s go."
When L brushed past the female celebrity, she could feel that celebrity eyeing her up and down.
Soon, Terry walked L to the first floor. He apologized to her again.
"What happened today—"
"You should return this gift to him. It''s best for me not to have anything to do with him," L cut him off
instantly. "You don''t have to be so courteous to me as well. I know what you''re like."
He wasn''t the problematic one—it was Pierre this whole time.
Thankfully, L wouldn''t have to keep in contact with Pierre any longer. Still,
today''s meeting left a really bad taste in her mouth.
Once L returned to Evergreen
Heights, she wasn''t in the mood to y any of her favorite games. Instead, she turned on the television
in the living room and yed a random drama. After that, she slumped on the couch.
When Kieran returned home, he thought she looked pretty down in the dumps.
This made him narrow his eyes slightly.
Did L run into any trouble earlier today?
