Chapter 10 Hugh Croft

“Are you interested, Hugh?”

Robert Shane noticed Jane Fowler, the dancing queen, on the dance floor beneath the stage.

She was interesting.

An eye–catcher.

But there was another thing that Robert noticed.

Hugh Croft, too, had his eyes on her.

He was gazing at her intensely too.

The stoic and arrogant President of DY. Group was never caught paying that much attention to a woman.

Darkness in the room had Hugh’s face partly hidden.

The faint mottled lights illuminated part of his thin surly lips.

The tall nose and the sharp eyes on his reserved face shone like a diamond would in the darkness enveloping them.

Hugh said nothing, but his eyes never left Jane.

That was a silent approval from him.

He saw a hint of familiarity in her.

As if he found someone similar.

The sharp glint in his eyes was nothing of the same as all others.

His sharp eyes were penetrative as if they could see through one and hook their soul from their body.

Jane, too, could feel the existence of Hugh Croft in the room.

Her sight turned towards the pair of eyes watching her through the glass wall from the fourth floor.

The glass was specially made to be a one–way mirror that appears reflective on one side and transparent on the other. So, only the person behind the glass wall could see those on the outside.

Finally, the dance ended.

Jane walked over to Lila Sutton’s side.

“Janie, you danced so well!”

Lila applauded Jane as she excitedly pranced around her.

Jane stroked Lila’s head and was about to speak when someone interrupted.

“Beautiful lady, would you care to have a drink with us?‘

A man dressed stylishly with a bad–boy vibe approached them.

He was in his early twenties, wearing a thick gold chain around his neck and hair dyed yellow. But he was good–looking.

There was a tag hanging from the thick gold chain.

The word “Croft” was carved on the tag.

“I’m not interested.” Jane Fowler answered without even a glance towards that man.

Her words did not anger him. He chuckled instead, “You’ve got some guts. I like that. Let me tell you, my beautiful lady. It’s your lucky day that I took a liking to you, and I’m Cameron Croft.”

He reached out his arm towards Jane as he spoke.

“Don’t touch her!”

Lila leaped upward and wrapped her arms around Jane as she eyed Cameron threateningly.

She was adorable, although she tried to appear fierce and threatening.

Cameron’s eyes instantly shone.
