Faux Vows, True Desires

The bodyguards, all with sincere concern, chimed in unison, "Mr. Martinez, what happened to your face?"

"Cecilia bit me."

Inside the café, Cecilia suddenly felt a surge of unease. Would this guy be spreading the news that she had bitten him?

Should she call him back?

While Cecilia was pondering this, Owen had already left with his bodyguards.

They even drove away the new car.

On the way back to the office, Owen intentionally added Stefan to his WhatsApp contact.

Though they knew each other's phone numbers, they hadn't connected on WhatsApp. After all, they were arch-enemies, how could they become WhatsApp friends?

Stefan was taken by surprise when he received a friend request from his rival. Without hesitation, he accepted it.

Although they had become WhatsApp friends, Owen didn't send any messages. He remained passive, and Stefan refrained from making the first move. He was waiting for Owen's next move. However, Owen didn't send any messages, which deepened Stefan's curiosity.

When Stefan was taking a break, he browsed Owen's Facebook page. The first thing he saw as he entered Owen's profile was a recent post with two photos; one showed Owen and Cecilia having a cozy breakfast, and the other was a selfie.

With a keen eye, Stefan noticed a red mark on Owen's cheek in the selfie, which looked like a bite mark. He then read Owen's caption: "Being bitten is a kind of happiness."

Stefan chuckled, "Is this his way of showing off his love life?"

No wonder he suddenly added him as a WhatsApp friend; he wanted to show off his love life.
