Chapter: 4948
Hearing Cassidy, Elva pieced things together quickly. She realized Luis might have used Cassidy to entice Kyler, who really fall for her later.
Anger surged through her as she grasped the extent of Luis' scheming.
At that moment, Luis exited the building and spotted Elva's car, pausing briefly.
Nearby, Kyler hurriedly ushered Cassidy into his car.
Elva stepped out, leaning casually against her car with a nonchalant smile. "Mr. Mendez, your tactics are quite something," she called out dryly.
Luis, noticing the scene, quickly responded, “I didn't instruct Cassidy to seduce Kyler."
“Then what was her role?" Elva pressed, doubting the lack of Luis‘ involvement would leave Cassidy and Kyler unconnected.
With a resigned sigh, Luis sought to clear the air.
“Okay, I'll explain everything, but can we grab something to eat first?"
He adopted a pitiful tone. "I've been tied up in meetings all day and haven't had a bite at all. I'm really hungry!"
Elva was still propped up against the car. After a bit, she asked, "Where do you want to eat?"
Luis stepped closer and leaned toward her. He said softly, "I'd like to go to a restaurant, but I'm worried you might throw soup at me. So... Let's head to my place! Even though I'm worn out, I'd love to cook for you!"
Elva remained silent, just observing him.
Luis usually wasn't one for deep emotions, but he felt a surge of sentimentality. He tenderly caressed her face and said, "I used to think marriage was simply about tying the knot. I never considered the idea of doting on someone. But with you, Elva, I want to indulge you, treat you like a princess... one who can throw her tantrum at me anytime."
Elva smiled slightly and said, "That's quite touching."
She opened her car door and said, “Hop in, Mr. Mendez!"
“I want you to call me Luis!"
Luis fixed a passionate stare on her. His look carried a touch of assertiveness that wasn't overbearing but heightened the allure.
Elva faced him and said, "Mr. Mendez, you seem to be asking for more and more!"
He wasn't usually one to make dirty jokes, but now he smiled and said, "Since you're the one always asking for more and more in bed, I think I should just return the favor."
