Everyone expected him to depart, but instead, his gaze swept over them with such intensity that they scarcely dared breathe.

"Mr. Shaw, is there anything else you require?" someone ventured.

Having delivered his admonition, Kristian departed without sparing a thought for their reactions.

"Damn! I've consistently captivated women with my innate charm."

"Perhaps they're enamored with your financial assets rather than your facial features?"

"Or possibly your honeyed words."
