"Evan, who is he? So arrogant? Is he Charlotte's new boyfriend?"
Melody watched Damon and Elara walk away, her face full of anger.
Evan Miles pulled her hand away, his tone calm, "He's Charlotte's boss, Damon Hawke."
What?
That person is Damon Hawke?
So Charlotte climbed up to Damon Hawke?
Melody's face was full of shock, seeing Evan about to leave, she hurriedly grabbed him, "Evan, I haven't eaten yet, have a meal with me before you go."
"Melody, did you come specifically to find Charlotte?" Evan frowned, looking at her.
"Evan, don't misunderstand! I know you have a good relationship with her, so I just wanted to be friends with her, but she doesn't seem to like me!"
Melody pouted, complaining, looking delicate and weak.
"I merely told her that I like you, and that our families are considering marrying again, to make her watch her words and not let others misunderstand, and she got angry."
Evan's brow furrowed more tightly, "Melody, I've said it before, I only see you as a sister, I have no romantic feelings for you, don't bring this up again."
"But Evan, this is what the family wants. Besides, Sweetie is getting older, she needs a complete family. I'm her aunt, if I marry you, I would treat her as my own daughter, right?"
Melody clung to Evan's hand, speaking softly.
"I have my own plans for this matter, I have things to deal with, I'm going first."
Evan was irritated, shaking off Melody's hand, and left in big strides.
"Evan!"
Melody clenched her fists in anger, with a look of dissatisfaction.
He doesn't want to marry her, he must still be thinking about Elara!
...
On the other side, Elara was walking forward with Damon, her mind still dwelling on Damon's words to Evan before leaving.
He said Evan has poor taste in choosing girlfriends.
And Evan's first girlfriend was her!
So, was Damon subtly mocking her!
Elara suddenly stopped, realizing she was still being held by Damon.
Immediately, she hurriedly pulled away from him.
"Mr. Hawke, please respect yourself, you have a fiancée."
This man must have a split personality!
How can he help her, yet simultaneously mock her!
Definitely a rare oddball!
Elara tidied her hair by her ear, her face full of anger.
Damon looked at her angry little face, curving his lips into a smile, stepping forward.
"I helped you, and this is your attitude?"
He helped her?
He also mocked her!
Elara lifted her eyes and retorted, "Mr. Hawke, I'm just a minor employee at your company, no need for you to concern yourself with me. After all, I'm insignificant, don't lower your taste."
Was this self-deprecation?
Damon chuckled lightly, "Charlotte, don't underestimate yourself, after all, very few women catch my eye. You should be able to understand my meaning, although you're not great, but compared to other women, they're worse than you."
Ha ha!
Does she still have to thank him for noticing her?
Elara glared at the man with the handsome face right in front of her, "Mr. Hawke, thank you for your favor, but I can't accept it. You should focus on your fiancée instead."
Is this man treating her like a pet to play with?
"You mind me having a fiancée? What if I no longer had a fiancée?"
Damon moved closer, forcing Elara to retreat to a pillar.
She quickly placed her hands on his chest, her heart raced, "Mr. Hawke, we are not familiar, whether or not you have a fiancée has nothing to do with me, okay?"
What does he mean?
Why tell her such things?
She doesn't want to have any connections with him, okay?
So eager to cut ties with him?
Damon's brows furrowed, his slender fingers pinched Elara's delicate chin, "Really? It seems you're still longing for your ex-boyfriend?"
"I am not!"
"Not longing for your ex-boyfriend, then you must be longing for your son's biological father?"
Son's biological father!
Elara was startled, then angrily said, "Mr. Hawke, you're investigating me!"
"Yes! Elara, tell me, who is your son's biological father?"
Damon coldly voiced, his eyes burning into her.
Elara's chin was pinched painfully, she was both furious and angry, and stomped on him hard, pushing him away amid his grunt.
"Mr. Hawke, this is my private matter, aren't you being too much?"
Actually went to investigate her!
Does he have to be such a freak!
Elara stomped away in a fury.
Damon felt the pain emanating from his foot, and adjusted his clothes, watching the woman flee in a hurry, calming his mood.
This woman always has a way to stir his emotions.
How long has it been since he lost control like this in public?
Not far away, Rhun glanced at the wide-eyed executives behind him and coughed lightly, giving them a warning look.
The CEO's private affairs, better not gossip about it.
Even though he was dying to know!
No idea what drama the CEO was stirring.
Still, he had to give the hint he needed to give.
"CEO, the chairman of Southwells has arrived, we should go in."
Damon said nothing, striding forward.
Rhun followed closely behind, under pressure, he said, "Mr. Hawke, I heard the chairman of Southwells values the character of those in charge, this time he's here to select partners and clearly expressed his admiration for you. However, he knows you're engaged to Victoria, at this critical juncture, if any unfavorable rumors about you spread, it might affect his view of you."
Was this a reminder that just now, in public, he was too ambiguous with Elara?
Damon's sharp eyes coldly glanced at him, without speaking, but made Rhun's scalp tingle.
He didn't want to meddle in personal affairs!
But as a loyal supporter of the CEO's career, he had to make this heartfelt recommendation!
...
Ellite Noble School.
Kindergarten.
In a corner of the playground, a few kids were surrounding a small figure, jeering.
"Hey, Dominic, I'm talking to you! Are you mute? Why don't you say anything?"
A chubby boy pushed Dominic hard, knocking him to the ground.
"Yeah, chubby asked you to pick up the ball, how dare you not?"
"Such a freak, wearing a mask even in school, take off your mask."
"..."
The other boys laughed and tried to grab the mask off Dominic's face.
Dominic hurriedly removed the mask, clutching it tightly in his hand, his eyes red as he pushed the boy in front of him with all his might.
"If someone bullies you, hit back!"
The voice of Tang Bao echoed in his mind, Dominic clenched his small fists tightly, stood up straight, his chest heaving.
