The man's gaze is very strange, seeming both cold and burning hot, staring at her with unblinking eyes, as if glued to her and unable to tear away.
Accompanied by the footsteps of Ghost approaching little by little, Selena came face to face with those deep, dark and eerie eyes, and a chill gradually crept up her spine.
Suddenly she felt a bone-chilling palpitation.
It seems that Patrick noticed her fear as he frowned and took a step forward to stand in front of Selena.
At the same time, it also blocked the gaze full of aggressive.
Patrick coughed softly, his gaze was very dark and cold, staring straight at Ghost, but his words were directed at Selena, "Stay away from this man." "He's much more dangerous than you think." Such a dangerous man who deliberately approaches her must have a hidden agenda.
The only woman who is worth this man lowering his status, hiding his true identity and character, and patiently and tenderly plotting for is her.
Selena naturally knows that Ghost is very dangerous.
Every nerve in her body instinctively tensed up and reminded her to stay away whenever this man attempted to come close.
But she was stubborn, and on her face, there was not a hint of fear.
She is always esteemed and beautiful, wherever and whenever.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe smiled elegantly, "As someone with a boyfriend, | naturally won't have anything to do with other men." Ghost's sight was blocked by an outsider and could not see Selena, making its breath even colder.
A shadow fell silently over the man's eyes, as Ghost stared at Patrick and let out a cold laugh, with a chilling aura that made one's heart shudder.
"The Turner family has been patient for twenty years, and now finally produced a person like you. It would be a pity if you were to fall here." Patrick's gaze turned cold, he cleared his throat lightly, and with an equally low tone, he retorted, "The Turner family's matter has nothing to do with you, Mr. Ghost." Ghost saw Patrick getting so close to Selena, and even daring to stop him from approaching her. There was a hint of resentment in his eyes, "If you really want what's best for her, leave her alone.” Patrick drooped his thin eyelids and a hint of icy mockery spilled on his face. "Her boyfriend, gentle and chivalrous, with a pure and kind disposition, is a good person who knows how to protect the weak... Are you?" The breath of Ghost turned cold in an instant, which was frightening.
Two men are playing a game of charades, confronting each other. Others cannot hear what they are saying.
But there was a sense of vague perception that their dispute seemed to be about Selena.
This made the fragrance blenders in the hall even more envious.
Leah and Adeline's faces were particularly pale.
How could they forget that not only Ghost, but even Patrick openly defended Selena from the beginning? Compared to Adeline's intense jealousy, Leah was feeling a slight regret.
If Patrick tells Selena the things she said, wouldn't Selena be prepared in advance? Although everyone has already submitted their work and there is no way to make any changes, even if Selena regrets it, it will be of no use. However, if Selena takes the opportunity to tell Patrick the truth...
Once Patrick believed her words...
Leah trembled slightly and glared at Selena with anger, grinding her teeth in hatred.
Adeline couldn't help but curse out loud, "Damn Selena!" Selena did not actually offend them, but her existence is considered a mistake by these proud perfumers who are used to being admired and pursued.
With her presence, everyone's gaze will only fall upon her.
Who can still see them? How can they resist targeting her and wishing she would disappear with that? Selena's eyelashes trembled as she watched the scene of two men confronting each other.
Although she couldn't hear what they were saying, she faintly sensed that Patrick seemed to have some kind of fatal leverage over Ghost, which abruptly halted the man's attempt to approach.
Selena's gaze slid over the tightly pursed lips of the man, her eyebrows furrowing slightly as a sense of unease rose up within her.
She casually picked up a glass of wine from the drinks tower beside her and walked slowly towards Ghost, offering it to him.
In the silence, her voice was particularly clear and gentle, "Thank you for helping me just now." In any case, it is a fact that Ghost helped her.
The deep black and desolate eyes of Ghost suddenly became tense.
He stared motionlessly at the girl in front of him, with blood-red thin lips curved into a paranoid yet joyful arc.
"No need," he said, his slender fingers deftly taking the glass of wine from her hand.
Patrick was surprised to see Selena coming towards him on her own initiative, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Is it too late? The president noticed the awkward and tense atmosphere at the scene and took a step forward, saying, "On behalf of the Perfume Association, | would like to offer a toast to welcome everyone to this year's fragrance competition.” With the words of the president, rows of servers entered through the door carrying wines, delivering them in an orderly manner to each perfumer's hands.
Men are all like white wine, while women carefully pair with red wine.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLeah's eyes flashed a trace of cunning as she saw Selena pick up the red wine that had been brought to her.
Selena held up her drink, toasted to Ghost from afar, smiled, and then took a sip before tilting her head back.
As Leah's tense nerves relaxed, a slightly manic excitement spread over her face. She drank the remaining wine from her glass in one gulp.
Selena took a sip and then put down her glass, turning to Patrick. "Mr. Turner, do you mind if | go to the restroom?" Patrick's tone was infused with a hint of tenderness, "Of course.” Selena turned around and walked towards the direction of the bathroom.
Leia naturally followed along.
Leia walked while looking back at the two men behind her.
Did Madam just refuse to talk to the man from the Turner family earlier? How did she suddenly change her mind? The most important thing is that Selena wants to meet Patrick alone, and surprisingly, Ghost didn't show any signs of displeasure or coldness.
This is also a great anomaly.
Leia followed Selena into the restroom and saw that Selena was just standing in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection with a vague expression and gaze. It was impossible to tell what she was thinking.
Leia waited for a while, unable to hold back any longer and exclaimed, "Madam..." Selena seemed absent-minded, tilting her head slightly and asking in a dazed tone, "Leia, whose face does mine resemble?" Leia was startled.
Who does Selena look like? Of course, like Lady Nevaeh...
Almost everyone who has seen Lady Nevaeh says that Selena looks like a lot.
Even Lady Lauren has said so.
Leia said, "Madam, you look like your mother, Lady Lauren said so, so it is true." Selena looks dazed, as if she wants to ask something but can't quite bring herself to do it.
After a while, in the quiet space, her low voice sounded again, "What kind of existence is the Turner family?"
