Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 64

Lizetta kept it simple and classy, rocking a plain white tee and jeans without showing an inch of skin. Yet somehow, her no–frills getup took on a whole new vibe on her, making her look effortlessly chic.

Flashes of her frolicking in the water just moments ago crossed his mind – her glorious, golden mermaid tail, her skin as smooth and flawless as frosted snow, and her posture gliding through the water with grace, like a legit deep–sea mermaid princess – it was alluring, innocent, and seductive all at once.

You’d never guess the knockout figure hidden beneath that oversized white tee if you hadn’t seen it with your own eyes. And let’s not forget the supple and lively feel of those legs, usually wrapped up in a fish tail, tumbling through the water, which must feel absolutely mind–blowing wrapped around a man’s waist.

“Back off!”

Lizetta’s expression turned icy as the guy ogled her a bit too obviously.

The manager frowned, “How can you talk to Mr. March like that.”

Daniel March just smiled as he stepped aside, all charm and grace; he even gave the manager a reassuring wave to show he didn’t mind.

As Lizetta walked away, Daniel watched her until she was out of sight, savoring the moment before turning back and patting the manager on the shoulder.

“That’s the spice I’m talking about. It’s only tasty if it’s got a kick. Send me her part–time schedule here.”

Stepping out of the mermaid–themed restaurant, Lizetta could still feel that creepy, clingy vibe on her back like she was being watched.

Feeling annoyed and fed up, she figured her days working this gig were numbered.

But when it rains, it pours. Right on cue, her phone rings – it’s Jolin.

Picking up, Lizetta is hit with Jolin’s piercing cries.
