The woman before her was stunning–delicate features set off by striking, defined bone structure, and a natural, soul–stealing charm in every line of her face.
As she spoke, her brows arched and her eyes curved into a smile, with Kellan’s reflection shimmering in her
gaze.
Draped in a red dress that perfectly outlined her alluring figure, she leaned in slightly, stepping right up to Kellan.
“Kellan, you came here today and didn’t even tell me? This is my turf, you know. That’s really not cool of you,” she teased, her tone playful and a little pouty.
As she spoke, she slipped into the empty seat beside Kellan, turning her body toward him and meeting his eyes directly.
It was only then that the woman seemed to suddenly notice Zina sitting next to Kellan, her eyes widening in feigned surprise.
“Oh wow, I didn’t realize we had a lady here. Did you bring her along, Kellan?” she teased, her tone playful and a bit mischievous.
Kellan’s brow furrowed slightly, his expression unreadable as he spoke in a cold, detached tone.
“Lisette, stop messing around and go back to your seat,” he said, his voice icy.
“Oh, so now that you’ve got a pretty girl with you, you’re just going to side with her? Poor me, your childhood friend, just tossed aside like yesterday’s news.
“Seriously, what is the world coming to?” Lisette Merritt said, shaking her head with exaggerated drama.
All the while, Lisette kept shaking her head, but she still managed to sneak sly sideways glances at Zina whenever she thought no one was looking.
‘She’s pretty. I’ll give her that, but honestly, she just looks like a pretty face with nothing else going for her,‘ Lisette thought, a faint smirk tugging at her lips.
‘She doesn’t threaten me at all. If anything, having her around just makes me look even better,‘ she wondered. ‘Might as well let her stick around.
Lisette sized Zina up from head to toe, her smile growing even more dazzling. She shot Kellan a wink, cleared her throat, and said, “Come on, it’s not like I just showed up here for no reason.
“Why are you being so harsh with me? This jewelry exhibition totally has your fingerprints all over it, doesn’t it? I just spotted your assistant a minute ago.”
Kellan raised an eyebrow. “Oh? Planting informants again? Did you forget what I told you?”
