    Yuka was a very good-looking woman. Severin was taken aback when she approached him with a smile.


    By then, Severin had already removed the ring from his hand and kept it in his trouser pocket. He did not want Yuka to recognize him so quickly.


    "Thank you for your generosity, Mister Severin. I hope you don''t take this the wrong way, but could you remind me where and when the two of us met?"


    Yuka looked at the handsome guy in front of her with a frown. As much as she tried to remember when she met him, she had no memory of ever knowing that man.


    Severin smiled and said, "We''ve met only once, so perhaps you''ve forgotten who I am. It''s not important, though. I trust that we''ll be meeting each other very frequently."


    She was aghast when she heard that. She never expected Severin to lie so tantly and say that he had met Yuka once before. On second thought, however, she realized that he only said that because there was no other better excuse.


    "May I ask who you are?" Yuka frowned. She thought to herself, ''I know all the rich people in Skycean City, and the only ones who could fork out such a huge sum couldn''t have slipped under my radar. Why haven''t I ever seen him before?"


    Severin smiled faintly. "My name is Severin Feuillet. You can just call me Severin. I happened to be passing by here today, and I came to give you a toast after knowing that it''s your birthday today." He then paused for a moment and asked, "Or am I not wee here?"


    Yuka immediately blinked at Severin and said charmingly, "Of course you''re wee! I''m d that you''re here to drink a toast to me. Why would I be unhappy? Pleasee in, Severin. There''s a while to go before dinner, so why don''t you just make yourself at home?"


    "Sure," Severin nodded. "You may tend to your affairs. I''m sure we''ll meet each other frequently in the future."


    Yuka''s heart skipped a beat when she heard that because he seemed to imply that he was attracted to her. That would exin why he would give her such a big sum of money and hint at her so ambiguously. None of that was important to her. The thirty million would be of tremendous help in solving her issues temporarily. Some of the hall''s businesses were bing unsustainable, and she had a lot of mouths to feed too.


    Getting to know a rich young man like him would be very beneficial in case she ever needed his help in the future. She had ample experience in stalling men and brushing off their requests for intimacy, so that was something she did not need to worry about.


    "I think he''s interested in you and wants to hit on you, Yuka. He couldn''t have just ''passed by'' here," Brody whispered.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.
