Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 421: Not Interested at All

Gemma stormed off, only to spot a man leaning casually against a Rolls-Royce. His mere presence seemed to draw everyone's attention.

Tall and straight-backed, with deep, piercing eyes and a strikingly handsome face, he was the kind of man who could make passing women stop in their tracks.

"Wow, he's so handsome! Do you think he's a celebrity?"

"Look at the watch on his wrist-that's worth over a million dollars!"

"Maybe he's the CEO of some big company. I didn't think guys like this existed in real life. Isn't this just like those romance novels about powerful CEOs falling for ordinary girls? Do you think someone like me has a chance?"

"You've read too many novels. Look at you-he'd never even glance at you."

"Come on, you never know. What if I accidentally run toward him and fall right in front of him? That's how all those romance stories start."

"He'd probably just step over you and keep walking. Honestly, I think he's waiting for someone. He probably already has a girlfriend. Don't get your hopes up."

"Look over there-a bitch is heading toward him. She's definitely going to try and flirt with him."

The "bitch" in question was none other than Gemma.

When Gemma saw the elegant man, her heart raced. He was the type of man she dreamed of marrying-handsome and rich.

How had Aurora gotten so lucky to date someone like this? If only he were hers instead.

"Mr. Barnet, are you waiting for the CEO?" Gemma approached with what she believed was her most graceful walk and an innocent smile.
