As Benson reminisced about the past, his lips curved upwards in a smile that could steal anyone's breath. Kate couldn't help but swallow nervously. How had Cheyenne not told her about this stunningly handsome man? It was just plain rude.
Meanwhile, Kelvin's face looked grim as he left the hospital. Chris felt an icy chill emanating from him and started to feel uneasy. Casting a sidelong glance at his boss beside him, he secured his seat belt and quietly uttered, "Mrs. Foley seems to have lost a lot of blood. Are you sure she's okay?"
"Their intentions don't seem as simple as just wanting money..."
Kelvin cut him off with a cold stare that made Chris; it was eerie.
"Don't mention that woman in front of me again."
His voice lacked any emotion, and he even took out some napkins to wipe away the blood on his hands meticulously.
He stared intently at them as if unable to get them clean enough.
"Yes."
After a while, the luxury car pulled up outside the Foley Group building where reporters were already waiting for Kelvin. They were being held back by security guards. When they saw Kelvin arrive, their mood changed instantly from low and anxious to excited frenzy as they rushed over with microphones in hand, crowding around the car until there wasn't any space left.
"What should we do? Should we get out?"
Chris knew that his boss detested paparazzi reporters and their coverage. It was always based on unfounded rumors, and they seemed to thrive on making matters worse.
"No need," Kelvin spoke calmly before opening the door himself and stepping onto the red carpet laid out on the ground below. His shiny leather shoes caught everyone's attention as he stood tall and straightened up - exuding an aura of coldness mixed with dominance that kept people at bay without even trying!
Several reporters swarmed in, their microphones almost hitting the man's face, and their voices clamoring in his ears.
Chris quickly waved his hand, asking the security guard at the door to find someone while he himself stood like a protective eagle shielding a chick from this group of journalists approaching him.
"Mr. Foley, hello. I am a reporter from Rumorville Report. Can you tell us how Miss Lawrence is doing now? This brazen attack doesn't seem like a simple criminal case."
"I am the deputy editor-in-chief of StarWatch News. I heard that Miss Lawrence publicly kissed you five days ago and now she has an accident that you happened to save her from. Is this just a coincidence? Do you have any plans to remarry Miss Lawrence?"
"Yes, Mr. Foley, please answer our questions."
"Mr. Foley, please answer."
...
The scene was chaotic as they all asked about Kelvin and Cheyenne's relationship, seemingly linking it towards "rekindling old flames".
Kelvin stood tall at a height of 1. 88 meters, making him stand out among the crowd.
This was because his experiences from childhood taught him that tears were only a sign of weakness. Every time he saw someone crying in front of him, Kelvin would have an absurd thought pop into his head. He even found it somewhat exciting.
The fear, despair, and sadness expressed by those who cried made him feel very interested.
But the situation before him now was really disappointing because this woman wasn't really crying; Kelvin couldn't see any fear or distress in her eyes at all.
"Boring! Chris, acquire StarWatch News within a week," he said coldly as he looked straight ahead without glancing back at anyone else. Then he strode away.
Chris walked up to the woman with a hint of sarcasm on his face and gently took her hand while quickly pulling out an exquisitely crafted metal pen from the pocket of his suit jacket. He lowered his head slightly and used his mouth to remove the cap from the pen before quickly writing down his name and phone number on the palm of her hand.
As Chris wrote on her palm with varying degrees of pressure that gave off tingling sensations throughout her hand, the female journalist looked bewildered as she watched Chris' expression change from mockery to sympathy.
"Tell your boss to call this number within three days so we can discuss acquisition details," Chris said.
"What?" Acquisition?
She had only come here for an interview; how did things suddenly turn into this?
Chris paid no attention to her confusion as he swiftly put away the pen and then caught up with Kelvin.
