Chapter 24
Eliza couldn’t think straight when Beau was around. He gave off such a domineering presence.
Right now, his face was just centimeters away from hers. Gosh, how could someone be that handsome!
Beau raised her chin and flirted, “It’s true that I always maintain a low profile, but I’ll make an exception for you.” 2
Coming from him, those words sounded magnetic and enchanting.
Eliza was intoxicated by his mere existence.
Her mind went blank. She wanted to say something, but her words were stuck at the back of her throat.
He rubbed his fingers against her soft lips and said, “Tell me if you come across people who dare to tarnish my name. I will make sure they suffer a painful death.”
Satisfied, he swept his gaze at her flushed complexion as he turned to leave.
Eliza was petrified as she remained frozen like a statue on the bed. Images of Beau’s gaze and his body pressing on her flooded her mind. After feasting on her brief memories, she came back to her senses. On her phone, the video call with Graciana was still ongoing.
Only then did she realize that Beau had put her phone on silent mode.
Blushing profusely, Eliza turned on the volume.
Graciana reacted dramatically when she saw Eliza’s face on the phone. “Damn, Eliza, was that Mr. Valentine just now?” “He’s such a handsome man! He’s nothing like the rumors at all!” “Oh my god, my heart is beating so fast right now. Eliza, I’m so envious of you! I want to have what you have right now!” Graciana squealed in delight.
“Both of you make a perfect pair! You’re so lucky! Mr. Valentine is 10 times more handsome than Jay!”
Eliza’s mood lifted after being showered in a whirlpool of compliments.
Something struck Graciana’s mind as she slapped her temples, “Eliza, I just thought about something.”
“I just realized that you didn’t resist him just now.”
Eliza paused.
What happened five years ago had scarred her from forming healthy relationships with men. For the past five years, never once did she grow intimate with Jay.
Now that she thought about it, she was never really disgusted by Beau’s touch.
“Has Mr. Valentine cured your illness?”
Graciana’s voice reflected a hint of incredulity, “Don’t tell me, you’ve fallen in love with Mr. Valentine?”
Eliza shook her head as she gave a curt reply, “Impossible.”
