Chapter 40 I Really Like Her Mysterious Vibe\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Keaton, let\u2019s not chat now. I\u2019ll hit you up when I have time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was about to pull out his phone to get her number, but Draven was already walking out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
James muttered \u201cdamn,\u201d quickly said \u201cbye,\u201d and disappeared.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla was so confused.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What the hell was that?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla really liked the tree-shaped glass, so she did not return it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you have the receipt?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The store assistant replied, \u201cIt\u2019s in your bag.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla glanced at it. The cup cost 38,000 dollars.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, thanks.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had dinner at the mall, got home, put her new clothes in the wardrobe, put the glass on the display shelf, and after washing up, she lay in bed. It was exactly ten at night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She grabbed her phone and sent Draven a photo\u00a0<\/p>\n
The receipt for the cup.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou initiated a transfer of 38,000 dollars.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
James had arrived in Trensea, played tennis in the afternoon, and went to a small private drinking gathering in the evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since it was private, he had no real reservations, so he filled Draven\u2019s cup with alcohol.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you avoiding your mom by not coming back to Zheron? We\u2019ve all heard she\u2019s pushing you to get married, but none of the matches appeal to you. Your standards are high, we get it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
This immediately caught Herman and Will\u2019s attention.\u00a0<\/p>\n
James teased, \u201cBut I think there\u2019s someone who\u2019s perfect for you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Herman thought of Ayla but did not mention it and asked, \u201cWho?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
R\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
James said, \u201cAyla!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He happened to run into her, and Draven happened to notice her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven, used to ignoring women all his life, was rare to take note of her at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So, this was promising.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Herman looked surprised. \u201cYou know Ayla?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
James laughed. \u201cDamn, seriously? You know her too? You must be thinking the same thing!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Herman nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
James looked like he had met a kindred spirit. \u201cAyla has this cold and calm demeanor around our CEO. She\u2019s not flustered at all! How many women could even do that? The rest would blush or get weak in the knees, trying to fall into my buddy\u2019s arms!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Herman pushed up his silver-rimmed glasses. \u201cIt was pretty much what I saw. They\u2019re from the same world; we\u2019re just ordinary.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
James thought he had exclusive gossip, but was a step late and asked curiously, \u201cHow do you know Ayla?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Herman replied, \u201cShe\u2019s Draven\u2019s secretary.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing that, James got even more excited. \u201cWhat perfect timing, Draven! You\u2019ve got a connection right here! You\u2019d better act fast, and she might even like you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Draven ignored the teasing completely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His phone buzzed, and Ayla had sent him a message.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Very few knew Draven\u2019s personal contact, partly because he hated being disturbed. If she bugged him for nothing, he would block her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He opened it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have a pending transfer.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Attached was just the receipt. No extra words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven did not say anything.\u00a0<\/p>\n
James leaned over. \u201cWhat are you looking at?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven flipped his phone facedown on the table, and took a sip of wine. \u201cNothing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
(\u00a0<\/p>\n
James focused on his icy expression. \u201cDid you hear what we said?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven replied, \u201cYou should close down your bank and start being a matchmaker.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
James asked, \u201cHow do you know I was planning that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven gave him a cold glance, silent, a warning in itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
James\u2019 swagger dropped immediately. He asked Herman, \u201cSo he\u2019s going to become a monk?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Herman recalled Draven shielding Ayla from drinking and knowing she was sick.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Those subtle cares were not something Draven normally did.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Still, he said, \u201cYou\u2019re overthinking it. He might date someone, but it definitely won\u2019t be Ayla.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
James did not believe easily, so Herman emphasized, \u201cI swear, not joking.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
James asked, \u201cWhy not?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know either.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
James looked at Draven, hoping for an answer, but got only a cold glance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Realizing there was no chance between them, James thought of Ayla and made a decision. \u201cFine. Since you\u2019re out, I\u2019ll pursue her. I really like her mysterious vibe-none of my exes were like that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was not claiming love at first sight; he just wanted to try and see if sparks would fly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Relationships needed cultivation, and he was genuinely interested in Ayla.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No sooner had he finished than Draven lifted his eyelids slightly. \u201cGo ahead.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
James scoffed, \u201cI\u2019m pursuing someone you\u2019re not interested in, not asking for your permission.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
