Chapter 241

The morning dawned with a gloomy sky that seemed to match the somber mood of the city.

There was an important International Finance Forum happening that day, with big names like the IMF Director, CEO of the Indonesia Investment Authority, and the Chair of the Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission all set to attend.

Curtis was one of the keynote speakers, and when Caleb came to pick him up, he found him already waiting outside his apartment complex.

His dark gray overcoat seemed to accentuate the chill in his demeanor, blending in with the dreary weather. Standing tall, he was engrossed in his phone, his handsome face mirroring the gloom of the day.

Caleb got out of the car and opened the door, calling out, “Mr. Richardson.”

Curtis pocketed his phone and looked up.

On this significant day, his first words were, “All the other women are made of water, but Leanne, she’s made of ice.”

Caleb was taken aback, speechless.

Curtis looked up at the cloudy sky, feeling like he’s been chasing his tail, lost in a merry-go-round with no exit in sight.

Leanne was like that perfectly smooth egg, impossible to get a grip on. Just when he thought he’d found a crack, she sealed it back up.

Caleb asked, “So, how did you manage to woo your lady in the past?”

“Back then?” Curtis settled into the car, his expression softening at the thought.

“She used to be much more approachable. Cold, yes, but not bristling with defenses, not poking me unexpectedly. I just had to warm her up slowly. Her shell was hard, but inside,
