Clad in a soft chiffon dress and pearl earrings, Judie appeared both demure and elegant. Her curly hair was neatly pinned up, lending her an air of grace.
To Mylo, she embodied both the poise of a young lady and the reliability of a dedicated nurse, a perfect fit for his mother’s ideal daughter-in-law.
Contemplatively, Judie repeated, “Mirror Sea.”
Judie appeared to be pondering what Mirror Sea might actually be like.
Sensing his chance, Mylo elaborated, “Mirror Sea is renowned for being a seashell lake. If we visit now, we’ll have the chance to collect vibrant seashells and conches along its expansive coastline.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Mylo mentioned the colorful seashells and conches, Judie’s eyes sparkled with interest. She cast her gaze downward, fixating on the message box on her phone for a lengthy moment. Eventually, she Lifted her eyes to meet his once again.
“So when do we leave?”
Mylo wasn’t surprised by Judie’s eagerness. After all, who could resist the allure of such a beautiful and exotic place?
“If you’re up for it, we can head to Mirror Sea right now,” Mylo suggested.
Caught off guard, Judie queried, “Right now?”
She cast a look around the wedding venue. The festivities were still in full swing.
Mylo inched closer, creating an intimate space as she remained seated and he stood. The inviting aroma of his cologne mixed seamlessly with her violet perfume, forming a scent that was nothing short
of enchanting.
In a voice rich with allure, Mylo coaxed, “What about leaving tonight?
You can take sdays off work. I’ll handle the driving, and you can be my co-pilot, enjoying the ride and catching sz’s.”
Judie’s eyelids fluttered down, a heartbeat quickening as Mylo closed the distance. The whiff of his enticing cologne surrounded her, setting off little fireworks of attraction inside her.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMylo wasn’t just a handsface. Though known for his flirtatious ways and playboy reputation, he was no slouch in the business world.
The Barrett family’s company, under his skillful management, had been raking in impressive profits consistently.
Ever since Millie’s hospitalization, where Mylo first appeared in her hospital room, their lives had started intersecting more often.
He had that confident stare, the kind that didn’t waver.
She had agreed to dinner with sreluctance, and before she knew it, found herself ensnared in a movie outing with him. From then on, whenever he extended an invitation, she made her refusal clear. It was unmistakable; he was chasing after her.
However, her heart was already spoken for. Her affections lay with Bruce, not Mylo. So if Mylo chose to continue his pursuit, that was his prerogative. Her emotional real estate was fully occupied by Bruce.
Judie had always remained skeptical of Mylo’s sincerity. She’d administered an IV to a girl Mylo had abandoned, who landed in the hospital emotionally and physically drained after receiving a two-million parting gift from him.
That girl lamented Mylo’s ruthlessness while receiving the infusion.
Reviewing her unanswered messages, Judie felt a mix of unease and sorrow. Maybe it was tfor a change of scenery. She did have that five-day vacation saved up.
