The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 632

By the time Ronald snapped out of it, Felix and Nancy were already gone.

"Damn it! They're like the beauty and the beast. What a waste of my time!"

Ronald had completely lost interest in Nancy. He had two principles when it came to women: they either had to have both beauty and a great figure, or if they were slightly lacking, they had to be untouched.

Nancy wasn't stunning enough to truly captivate him, but she had kept herself well- guarded. Such a pity.

Nancy nodded. "Yes. I looked into Ronald's preferences. It should be fine now. I'm sorry for not giving you a heads-up earlier."

Felix sighed inwardly. In a situation like this, where the man clearly had the upper hand, Nancy was still apologizing.

"It's alright. It's fine as long as we avoided trouble this time."

There was one thing Nancy didn't say. That kiss had been her first. And to her surprise, she hadn't felt the slightest discomfort-in fact, she realized she had truly fallen for Felix.
