NovelEnglishChapter 360: He booked a ticket back to Warrington for the next day and, for the night, settled into a random hotel.
But fate, as it often does, had a sense of irony.
At the hotel, Caden ran into an acquaintance-the mayor's daughter.
She was hosting a small gathering in the hotel garden, her ambition already making waves in Bechorion's business scene.
When she spotted Caden, her eyes lit up with surprise and curiosity.
She eagerly invited him to join them.
Caden looked at her for a few moments before nodding in agreement.
"Mr.
Ward," she said with a warm smile, "you look like you've been through a lot.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBusy, I'm guessing?" Caden met her gaze, his expression blunt.
"Not at all.
It's just... the woman I've fallen for is upset with me.
She's run off, and I'm here to bring her back." The woman blinked in surprise, not expecting such an honest response.
"You're... you're in love?" "She hasn't agreed to be my girlfriend yet," Caden replied.
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
The internationally famous Caden Ward couldn't win over a woman? Every woman wanted to be with him, yet someone had the audacity to resist him? Who could this extraordinary woman be? Caden was indeed exhausted.
The only reason he had dragged himself to the party was because something about it-the woman, perhaps-felt oddly familiar.
But it wasn't the kind of familiarity he had with a client.
In the haze of it all, it felt almost like a mission.
His body was drained, but his mind refused to rest, urging him to push forward despite the fatigue.
However, not long after the party started, Caden fell asleep in his chair.
His exhaustion finally won the battle.
The mayor's daughter noticed and, not wanting to disturb him, quietly asked her friends to lower their voices.
A few girls cast glances his way, blushing and giggling behind their hands.
When Alicia stepped out in a gown fit for royalty, their whispers reached her ears, laced with excitement.
"Is there a celebrity here or something? You all look so giddy," she teased with a smile.
The girls all pointed at the sleeping Caden.
"It's Mr.
Ward from Warrington.

"I haven't heard any rumors about him dating anyone.
Does that mean he's still single?" one of them speculated.
Alicia's eyes followed their gestures, and when they landed on Caden, she they landedon froze. He was fast asleep.
His jacket was neatly draped over his broad shoulders.
His chiseled features caught the soft, shifting light, casting his face în an almost ethereal glow. There was no denying it—he was strikingly handsome.
Quickly, she averted her gaze, not daring to exhale too loudly.
After all her careful hiding, she had run into him just the day before m returning to Warrington. Had he found her?
