Chapter 8 His Heart Throbbed Again
586 Words
"Hello, is this seat taken?" Isai walked up to Melissa with a glass of wine in hand.
He flashed his most charming smile at her.
Although they were all young masters and ladies in the upper class of Skargness, Melissa didn't know Isai because she had went abroad early.
So she ignored Isai.
Isai, who usually had ladies screaming his name, had never received this type of treatment before. The smile on his face disappeared on the spot.
He said to Melissa arrogantly, "Do you know who I am?"
"Who is it?" Lilly suddenly raised her head and looked at Isai.
Lilly, who had drunk a few glasses of cocktail, was drunk. She did not recognize Isai.
"Aunty?" Isai was taken aback when he saw Lilly clearly.
This simple word was enough to cause the emotions in Lilly's heart to burst out. She suddenly stood up and grabbed Isai's collar with both hands.
"Who are you calling an aunty?! Do you think I want to do this? Do you think I want to be like this?" She slurred because she was drunk.
She used to be a rich young lady with endless money and luxury clothes.
Melissa quickly tried to pull Lilly away, but she couldn't.
"You're crazy." It was the first time that Isai had encountered such a situation. He pushed Lilly away hard.
Lilly lost her balance and fell back. She did not feel the pain she had been expecting. Instead, she fell into a soft embrace.
The man smelled good. Lilly looked up.
Before she could take a second look, her eyelids drooped and closed tightly.
The people around gasped.
She had fallen asleep in Stanley Grant's arms in just a matter of seconds!
"Well, hello, Mr. Grant. She is my friend."
Melissa was also shocked when she saw Stanley. Although she had been abroad all year round, she did know about Stanley Grant because he was internationally famous.
It was said that Stanley Grant avoided women like the plague, and even female mosquitoes could not get within five metres of him.
Stanley's methods were terrifying. People who dared to cross this taboo territory would die a merciless death.
Looking at her unconscious friend in Stanley's arms, Melissa wished that she could kick herself for bringing Lilly to the club.
Unfortunately, it was too late to intervene. She could only look at Stanley, hoping he'd be gracious and let it go.
However, Stanley did not care about anything around him. He looked at the girl who had inexplicably appeared in his arms.
There was no disgust in his heart, but instead, an indescribable sense of familiarity.
He took a closer look at Lilly's appearance.
Her facial features were delicate, and her skin was as smooth as porcelain.
Her flushed cheeks resembled ripe peaches, making people fall in love with her instantly.
Damn it!
Had he been suppressing his desires for too long that he suddenly had feelings for any woman that literally 'fell into his arms'?
But the more he looked at her, the more his heart throbbed. He had not experienced this feeling ever since that night five years ago.
Stanley narrowed his eyes. He assumed that he was feeling this way because he had drunk too much.
He pushed Lilly into Melissa's arms.
Everyone thought that Stanley would explode. But he just patted the place where Lilly had leaned and left without another word.
Isai couldn't keep causing trouble because Stanley didn't say anything, so he had to leave with Oscar.
