The fragrance of her perfume filled his nostrils. Sitting on Fane’s lap was a soft, curvaceous body. Fane’s heart skipped a beat at the sudden boldness.
After all, he was a young man full of vitality. Even if he was a soldier, he could help his feelings when something like this happened.
Still, he quickly pushed Sasa off of him. “What are you doing? How can you be so shameless as a woman?!”
Sasa’s face was as red as a tomato, yet she smiled even when Fane was fuming.
She smiled. “I’m not shameless; I’m just this straightforward because I like you,” she said bashfully. “No other man has caught my eye like this!”
Fane was speechless. On the battlefield, he had a thousand different methods of killing the enemy—as easy as breathing.
However, he did not know what to do when facing women, especially a woman as bold as her.
He still maintained a stony expression. “Miss Sasa, don’t forget the promise we’ve made before. You can’t just go back on your word as the young mistress of the George family, understand?”
Sasa was taken aback for a moment, doubting and apologetic.
She ducked her head. “Of—of course I couldn’t match up to you then, with the way I looked,” she said sheepishly. “But with the way I look like now, I think I can match up to you, no?”
Fane was tongue-tied. He could not believe anything this woman said; she swapped faces faster than one could turn a page.
His expression darkened, not acknowledging Sasa’s words. “So, do you think I’m pretty now?” she asked in a small voice.
Fane looked at her. “You are. But, I have a wife. I don’t want to do anything to betray her. Go look for someone else. It’ll be easy enough for you to find a boyfriend now.”
He did not expect Sasa’s lips to curve into a sweet smile instead. “I’m satisfied that you think I’m pretty. To me, you’re the most amazing man I’ve ever met. I can’t even be bothered to look at other men!”
“Is that fellow really any good?”
Yvonne and Tanya could not bear to watch this any longer. They shared a common thought: Sasa was going too far.
“Alright. I’m actually just dropping by to visit you. I’ll get out of your hair for now,” Sasa conceded. “But, don’t forget that you said we can be friends, so don’t push me away when I come around wanting to hang out with you during my free time!”
Sasa looked at Fane again, stroking her cheek. She bashfully called for her bodyguards and left.
“I…”
Fane was completely speechless, his temple pounding with a headache. When would that child truly understand the situation?
“What’s wrong? Have you lost your mind, now that a beautiful young woman willingly serves herself on a platter to you, you pervert? Don’t tell me that a pervert such as yourself is too shy to act on his impulses?”
