‘Who is he?’
‘Sean?’
“You must have seen Cormac Mendelsohn on many finance and economics magazines. He is a man in his thirties, almost pushing forties, who loves to keep his face looking like an iceberg all day long. A lot of times I feel like he is not normal. You say, wouldn’t a normal man be married and have kids by this age? Even if he doesn’t have a wife, but with his status, shouldn’t there be a few lovers around him? But he is like a celibate monk.”
Sean only knew about Cormac and Maria. He was surprised when he broke off his engagement. He had always thought that Cormac loved her a lot. After all, he had acknowledged only her as a woman. Later, when he broke off his engagement, he felt that Cormac might not have actually loved her…
If he really loved her, how could he break up with her after announcing their engagement?
After the wedding was canceled, he had never heard of a woman by Cormac’s side.
Sean was very busy. Half the time he was flying around, filming, participating in shows, receiving commercials; and the other half he spent abroad. When he didn’t film, he hid in school, putting on glasses, letting down his hair roughly and being an unfettered university teacher.
His relationship with Jeffery was tense, so he didn’t like to go home. So, when he called Marina, it was just to considerately inquire about their well-being and to inform that he was safe and sound. He deliberately didn’t ask about Cormac.
In his eyes, Cormac was the same as always. Apart from the money making and being handsome, he wasn’t fun at all.
Loredana had no words to respond with.
“Is he such a person in your eyes?”
Sean thought for a while and then nodded seriously, “He is a person who takes no joy in living. You tell me, what is the use of making all that money?”
Which rich man did not keep a few beautiful women around for fun?
Loredana Flores asked with a low voice, “Is it considered normal for rich people to have a few women?”
“Not really. Humans have feelings and desires and we need biological needs as a minimum to live. He had a fiancée earlier. I don’t know why he ditched her. I haven’t seen him have another woman.” Sean’s body moved closer to her. He said with a low voice, “I have read an article before. It stated that a man who doesn’t let out his emotion or get some relief in his body for a long time would easily have psychological distortion. I guess this is the reason why he has a bad temper. Later when you meet him, don’t be afraid. I could back up you.”
A “ding” sound was heard. At that moment, the door of the elevator opened.
Loredana wanted to ask a question which was ‘who are you?’. However, before she asked the question, the door of the elevator had opened. High-ranking officials were on this floor. Cormac Mendelsohn’s office was here too.
She could already feel the tense working atmosphere when the door of the elevator opened.
Loredana’s steps hesitated. She didn’t expect that the person who Sean wanted to bring her to meet was Cormac.
She didn’t dare to imagine Cormac’s expression when he saw her.
In Sean’s eyes, Loredana’s hesitation seemed like she was afraid. He comforted her, “I am here. Don’t be afraid. Let’s go.”
Before Loredana replied, Sean had already pulled her out of the elevator.
At this moment, a person who carried documents walked into the elevator. He saw that Sean was holding a woman’s hand who was wrapped tightly. He felt strange as he gave them a glance. Everyone in the company knew about Sean’s identity. However, they didn’t dare to spread the matter as Cormac had talked about it.
“What are you looking at?” Sean gave a stern look to the man who was looking at Loredana.
That man smiled, “Have you found a girlfriend?”
Sean was stunned. Then, he smiled immediately, “Yes.”
Loredana was nervous.
That man didn’t reply anymore. He only looked at Loredana two times out of curiosity.
Loredana was wearing the extremely big black-framed glasses from Sean and a mask. She almost covered all of her features. Unless there was someone who was very familiar with her. Otherwise, no one would be able to recognize her.
The door of the elevator closed and it obstructed the person’s glance on Loredana.
Sean pulled Loredana to the door of Cormac’s office. He raised his hand to knocked on the door without giving any time to Loredana to think.
Soon, a deep voice was heard from the door, “Come in.”
When Sean wanted to push the door to enter the office, he noticed that Loredana’s hand that was not cuffed was grabbing the door frame as she didn’t want to enter.
Sean frowned. They had already been here. They had to enter the office even if she didn’t want to.
Sean grabbed her hand who was cuffed and pulled her hand hard to bring her into the office.
Cormac was standing in front of the French window. His body looked tall. He had perfect sizes of narrow waist and wide shoulders. His sleeves were rolled up and half of his strong arms were seen. “Do you have any matter?” Sean started the conversation first.
Cormac slowly turned his body.
The light that was refracted from the back of the French window blocked Loredana’s vision. She couldn’t see Cormac’s exact expression. She only felt nervous in her heart.
She couldn’t help but clenched her fists tightly. She didn’t know how to talk about the strange matters that had happened to her.
He slightly squinted his eyes as he walked towards them.
He stopped in front of Loredana.
Sean smiled and said, “She is my girlfriend.”
How could he explain to Cormac if he didn’t make this excuse? She brought a woman here and he was ‘holding her hand.” “Oh, is it?” Cormac glanced at their ‘holding’ hands.
“Of course. Otherwise, why would I bring her here?” Sean was still smiling. “You have called me here. Do you have any matter?” Cormac didn’t reply. He was interested in his girlfriend.
Loredana was anxious and terrified. She wanted to say something but she didn’t know how to explain and what to speak.
Her mind was in a mess.
“She is allergic, so…” Sean thought that Cormac felt strange because Loredana had wrapped herself tightly. Therefore, he explained to Cormac.
Cormac ignored Sean. He raised his hand to take the glasses on Loredana’s face.
Sean pulled Loredana to the back, “She has a serious allergic. Her face looked terrible. It is better for you to not have a look. You were not a gossip guy in the past. What happened to you today?” Cormac’s eyes looked deep as he stared at Loredana. “Do you want to take it off yourself? Or should I take it off for you?”
Although he didn’t see Loredana’s face, her body size and feelings had told him that this woman was Loredana.
Loredana was nervous and terrified. She raised her hand and took off her glasses and mask. Without waiting for Cormac to ask more, she explained, “I met Sean because I wanted him to do an endorsement for me. I accidentally went to his fans’ meeting and participated in a program with him. In the end…”
At that moment, Loredana looked like a child who did something wrong.
Cormac closed his eyes. He had a headache.
‘She really wanted to make him angry.’
‘She was already an adult.’
“Wait.” Sean who was beside them was stunned, “You know each other?”
