Chapter 613: Buwas torn inside. Before departing from Skytop Mansion, he had arranged for a feast and fine wine to be prepared in the presidential suite on the top floor of the Crystal Hotel, ensuring the atmosphere would be undeniably romantic.
The floor was strewn with petals, and several violinists were hired to serenade them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe planned to share with Silver Fox that they had a long history together, one that included a brush with death. But now, how could he proceed with the meal? How could he bring up their shared past? During their joint mission, they had both used aliases and masks. Their identities were concealed, and the rule was clear: after the mission, they were to becstrangers, severing all ties and forgetting each other's existence.
Bringing up those days now would mean confessing his feelings for her, revealing that he had thought of her all these years. If she were straight, confessing his feelings would be straightforward, perhaps leading to a declaration of love. But now, knowing she was gay, wouldn't his confession seem absurd? That was why he was deeply conflicted about whether to invite her to stay for the meal.
Noticing Silver Fox's glare, Buquickly averted his eyes and coughed. "Do you really want to stay for a meal?" Fresh content live now gVlnovsSilver Fox had been teasing him, yet she now hesitated, wanting to leave due to his peculiar look. Just as she was about to decline, he interrupted. "I had initially planned this meal for a lady friend, but she ran into strouble and couldn't make it. If you don't mind that it was meant for someone else, you're welcto stay." Silver Fox was about to refuse, but before she could, Buswung his long legs off the control panel, opened the cabin door, and said, “Please, step out of the plane." Before he had even finished speaking, he leapt down first. Silver Fox was left wordless. It was clear he was ordering her to stay for the meal, not asking. With no choice but to disembark, she too jumped down.
Upon landing, she intended to inform him that she wouldn't be dining with him and was planning to head home. However, before she could speak, he turned and strode towards the hotel. His pace was so brisk that he soon left her far behind.
"Hey, Burnet...” "Cut the crap." Silver Fox called out to him, but before she could complete her thought, he sharply cut her off with those biting words. Silver Fox was a naturally chatty person, and being silenced like this was agonizing for her. Buhad interrupted her multiple times already, which really irked her.
Fuming, she placed her hands on her hips and hastened her steps to catch up with him. When she did, she confronted him. "How can you be so rude, not even letting someone finish what they're saying?" She half-expected Buto soften his harsh demeanor, but he merely shot her a chilling glance and warned, "You better keep quiet. If I hear more nonsense, I'll toss you into the lake." Following his pointing finger, Silver Fox spotted a group of crocodiles skulking near the lakeshore. While not scared, she was deeply offended by his rudeness. "Burnet, I'm not staying for the meal. Goodbye." With those words, she turned to leave. However, she had barely managed two steps before her wrist was abruptly seized. Caught off guard, she found herself being pulled toward the hotel. Burnet's hand was large and his hold firm, his presence too commanding to contest.

By the tshe finished her protest, they had already stepped into the elevator. Burnet, busy with the m elevator buttons, replied with a mecking sneer, "You were the one who askedto treat you, and now you refuse? Why should I listen to you? Tonight, you're eating with me, like it or not." Silver Fox was left dumbfounded, her mouth twitching in disbelief. Crazy bastard!
The elevator swiftly ascended to the top floor. As the doors slid open, they were met with warm greetings from the staff, who bowed and said, "Mr. Hoffman, Miss Elin."
Exiting the elevator, Buand Silver Fox walked along a path strewn with petals. Silver Fax tread lightly on the petals, following Buto the presidential suite
