Task NO 1 How To Pursue Miss CEO Chapter 156

“Mr. Lake, I think there’s no need for us to continue this conversation. Furthermore, I really came with a date today. It will be awkward when he comes back later and sees you in his seat,” Selena said in a cold and distant manner.

Beginning to lose his patience, Finneas said, “Stop putting up a pretence, Selena. I heard everything you told Pierre the last time on the island, and I know that I’m still in your heart. You still love me like you used to, so I’m here to tell you today that our feelings are mutual.”

Feeling a sudden headache, Selena wondered, When did he develop the bad habit of eavesdropping on others? She had said those things to Pierre deliberately, but she didn’t think that Finneas would overhear them.

“I’ve already filed for divorce with Megan, and the divorce settlement has been drafted. Once she signs the papers, we’ll be divorced and I can be together with you again. I was planning to look for you when I’m officially divorced, but Megan went to Springvale recently and didn’t sign the papers.”

“Megan went to Springvale, you said?” she asked. This was the only thing that caught her attention. She couldn’t help but recall that the Yard Family didn’t seem to have any business in Springvale, and Megan had never studied abroad there either. Hence, it was unlikely for her to have any friends there.

In conclusion, she felt that things were a little fishy for Megan to go to Springvale out of the blue.

“Yeah, she said she has something to settle over there, but I know that she’s just hiding out of the country. Still, it doesn’t matter because this divorce is unavoidable.” Then, in a determined tone, he continued, “Shall we be together when I’m divorced?”

“No!”

Hearing the icy cold reply from behind her which sent a shiver down her spine, Selena knew without thinking that it was Pierre who had returned.

In response, Finneas lifted his head and looked at Pierre, who was standing behind Selena with a stone-cold look on his face.

“Pierre Fowler?” Finneas said with a sullen look, surprised to see him here. “It’s not so nice to eavesdrop on others, Mr. Fowler,” he added, trying to sound polite because he didn’t want to offend him.

“I should be the one to say that,” Pierre said as he leaned against Selena’s chair, looking a little laid back and unruly.

The look on Finneas’ face turned dark as he guessed that Pierre had most probably overheard their conversation earlier, even though he was the one who eavesdropped on them first. “Mr. Fowler, I think everyone should have some self-awareness. You can’t force something like a relationship, and it will turn ugly if you try to do so. I grew up together with Selena and we’re childhood sweethearts. We can’t forget each other because we’ve known each other since we were kids, and we have dated each other for many years before this. Even though you’re an influential man, it’s still ungentlemanly of you to force a woman and keep harassing her. I hope you’ll have mercy on Selena and let her go.”

Finneas sounded so self-righteous that Selena wanted to burst out laughing, but she managed to suppress it. However, Pierre couldn’t do the same and roared out in a laughter filled with indifference and sarcasm. He laughed loudly without caring that there were other people watching.

The look on Finneas’ face was unpleasant because he knew that Pierre was mocking him! Despite that, all he could do was bear with it since he couldn’t offend him.

Finally, when Pierre had his fill of laughter, he looked at the other man and said, “Why do you like to steal my words out of my mouth so much, Mr. Lake?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“What do I mean?” Pierre repeated while stroking Selena’s hair. “Don’t you understand when I said no earlier?” NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Trying hard to contain his anger, Finneas argued, “I was speaking with Selena, so she should be the one to answer my question. Since you don’t have a special relationship with her, how could you answer in her place, Mr. Fowler?”
