Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Certain I Can Tame Her
Is Elara Don also attending the evening banquet?
What kind of evening banquet is it?
Leia Quinn was stunned. Seeing Craig Landers turning to leave, she quickly said, "Mr. Landers, I’ll go with you."
"Ah! No need! Dr. Lin, you’re a busy person. Forcing you to accompany me to the banquet, I feel so guilty."
Craig Landers paused for a moment, a roguish smile on his face.
"No, Mr. Landers, I’m volunteering to go with you."
This man is starting to play hard to get!
Leia Quinn gritted her teeth.
"Pssh! But I suddenly changed my mind."
Craig Landers stroked his chin, sizing Lei Quinn up and down, "I’m afraid you might think of me as just a playboy, and if you accompany me to the banquet, others might assume you’re my next target. Forget it, I’ll find someone else."
"Mr. Landers, I don’t care what others think, I’ll accompany you."
Stubborn guy, how long is he going to play hard to get!
"You really don’t care what others think?"
"I don’t."
"So, you’re begging me to take you? I didn’t force you?"
"Yes."
"Alright, I’ll pick you up this afternoon for a makeover."
Craig Landers was content, his handsome face full of triumphant smiles.
He’s not convinced he can’t tame this little firecracker!
"A makeover? I can manage on my own."
So troublesome!
Leia Quinn frowned, hesitating a bit.
"Unwilling? Then I’ll find someone else."
"No! I’ll trouble you, Mr. Landers."
Leia Quinn spoke through gritted teeth, one word at a time.
Stubborn man, thinking she has no choice but to obey!
"Hmm, it’s no trouble!"
Craig Landers gave her a rogueish smile.
Peacock!
Leia Quinn cursed inwardly but didn’t show it on her face.
"Mr. Landers, I still don’t know what kind of evening banquet it is tonight."
"Oh, it’s a banquet arranged by Vinny Hawke, the founder of Hawthorne Beauty."
Craig Landers raised an eyebrow, with a meaningful expression: "She has quite a bias against your best friend, so Damon Hawke specially asked me to go and keep an eye on your best friend."
A chance to increase his brother’s presence.
Look at how reliable he is as a brother!
Leia Quinn was stunned, "You and Damon Hawke are close?"
So it was Damon Hawke who asked Craig Landers?
It sounds like Damon Hawke is good to her best friend.
"We’re in the same business circle. Do you think we’re close?"
Craig Landers glanced at his watch, "Alright, I have other things to do. See you this afternoon, Cindy darling."
The man gave her a rogueish smile and turned gracefully.
His back exuded elegance and charisma.
Cindy darling!
Oh my God.
It gave her goosebumps.
Leia Quinn rubbed her arms speechlessly, shaking off the goosebumps.
After a pause, she took out her phone and dialed Elara Don’s number.
"Elly, are you going to a banquet tonight?"
On the other end, Elara Don had just come out of the bathroom.
She was surprised, "Yes, how did you know?"
"Craig Landers just invited me to be his date for the banquet, that’s how I found out."
Leia Quinn responded.
"Oh? Kiki, you two..."
Elara Don had a gossipy look on her face.
"It’s not what you think."
Leia Quinn was speechless, "Let’s not talk about that. Do you know? It was your boss, Damon Hawke, who asked him to attend, fearing Vinny might cause trouble for you at the banquet. Elly, seems like your boss treats you well!"
Elara Don: "..."
Damon Hawke actually asked Craig Landers to look after her behind the scenes?
Her feelings were unexpectedly complicated.
He treats her well, probably because of his son, right?
Never mind, she didn’t want to think about it too much.
She only knew that she and he weren’t on the same level.
She just wanted to keep things as they were.
He’s the boss, and she’s his subordinate.
That’s all.
"Alright, Kiki, I have to get busy now, let’s talk tonight."
"Alright."
Elara Don hung up the phone, feeling a bit distracted.
Mysteriously, Damon’s tall figure appeared in her mind.
Such an elegant and noble man can only be admired from a distance!
Elara Don sighed, shook her head, and walked quickly forward.
There was a corner ahead, and she was walking too fast, when she bumped into someone coming from the opposite direction.
"Ah."
"Careful."
The man grabbed her, his deep voice ringing out.
This voice...
Elara Don was startled, and she looked up at the tall man in front of her with wide eyes.
What you think really happens.
She ran into Damon Hawke!
Remembering what Leia Quinn said on the phone, that he treats her well, Elara Don’s face inexplicably flushed.
She is a woman, and naturally more emotional.
Just the thought of a handsome and wealthy man, for whatever reason, silently watching over her and protecting her, made it impossible for her heart not to stir at least a little.
Moreover, her feelings for this man...
"Are you alright?"
Damon Hawke looked at Elara Don’s pretty face and gently asked.
Elara Don snapped back to reality, her gaze falling on the man’s hand holding her arm, and she quickly pulled away.
"I’m fine."
"That’s good."
Damon Hawke paused slightly as he looked at her movement, then walked past her and left.
Elara Don: "..."
That’s it?
He just walked away like that?
She thought he would say something to her!
But he just walked away like that!
Elara Don stared blankly at the man’s tall figure, inexplicably feeling that there was a hint of loneliness in his proud yet lonely silhouette.
Loneliness!
Is it because she rejected him and wants to draw a clear line with him?
Her heart inexplicably ached.
Why would such an exalted man like her, a single mom?
In front of her, Damon Hawke strode into the men’s restroom.
Slightly turned, he could see her still gazing at him from the corner of his eye.
His lips curled up slightly, and a dark sheen flickered in his deep eyes.
He’s currently in a heartbroken state, and should have the loneliness that comes with it.
Keeping a distance from her, letting her feel his restraint.
Perhaps in this way, she would have a more profound impression of him.
Elara Don didn’t know that she was like a poor little mouse being toyed with at the moment.
After finishing a day’s work, she went to the kindergarten to pick up her son.
Dominic Hawke came out of the school gate, and seeing it was Elara Don picking him up, he was quite happy.
"Mommy."
"Bea."
Elara Don ruffled the little guy’s hair and hailed a cab home.
Dominic Hawke glanced around, not seeing his father or any other man’s figure.
A bit disappointed.
Today he’s going back and swapping with Bea.
He still hasn’t seen the rumored admirer of his mommy.
"Bea, after Mommy finishes making dinner, I have to go to a banquet, and you’ll stay home obediently by yourself, okay?"
Elara Don sat in the car, holding the little guy’s soft hand, and said.
"Mommy, I’ll miss you."
Dominic Hawke hugged Elara Don and murmured.
"Silly child, Mommy will be home soon."
But when she returns, it won’t be her she sees!
So reluctant!
