Chandler's faint smile made Kimberly feel a little awkward. The incident that had happened outside the hall earlier kept replaying in Kimberly's mind.

"Thank you, President Lovis. There's really no need for that."

She politely refused him.

Chandler squinted his long and narrow eyes. "Do you know me?"

"Well... Lovis Enterprises is well-known in North City. How could anyone not recognize you?"

Chandler suddenly leaned against the window and stared at her carefully. "Oh, are you crying?"

The sudden question stunned her. She shook her head and said, "No."

Chandler raised his lips and smiled. "People tend to care for those women who appear to be weak. You were the one hiding behind the tree just now, weren't you?"

Her expression changed but she didn't say anything.

Her eyes were slightly red, but they were filled with stubbornness. It was obvious that she didn't know how to lie.

"Ha, since you can't lie, so you chose to remain silent instead?" he thought.

"Interesting," he told himself. "I saw Maddox leaving you behind when he left. What do you think? Do you want to get into my car?"

At this point, Chandler's hand moved forward and slowly fell on her shoulder.

Kimberly instinctively stepped back to avoid his touch. Chandler's hand hovered mid-air and he paused for a long time. Then, he smiled and said, "Why are you so fussy? If he won't fetch you, then I will. What's wrong with that?"

After that, he took a few more steps forward. Kimberly stepped back fearfully.

"Many noble young ladies are so eager to cling onto me. Judging from your appearance and Maddox's attitude towards you, he might not even consider you his friend. But I would never belittle you." Kimberly didn't care what he said, she just didn't want him to touch her.

She knew too well what kind of person he was. If she showed even a little hesitation, she might become his target.

"Don't do this. I know you're different from them."
