"But I haven’t finished reading it yet." Dorian Howards said, of course, that’s not the point. The point is if his friend takes this book back, it’s very likely that Mabel Quinn will know about it, and if Mabel knows, then Alice Conley might find out too.
To be honest, Dorian Howards absolutely doesn’t want Alice Conley to find out that he has bought such a book.
"Then just buy another one." Kyle Kinston said, taking the book and leaving straightforwardly.
Dorian Howards was speechless, so he not only has to buy one book, but two?!
And that Alice, if she finds out he bought this kind of book, who knows what she’ll say. Just thinking about Alice makes Dorian feel like his heart and liver are aching again.
Heart, liver! That’s what they call a precious darling, isn’t it?
Mabel Quinn saw the book Kyle Kinston was reading and was quite surprised. After all, a book like "One Hundred Ways to Win a Woman’s Heart" doesn’t seem to fit Kyle Kinston’s usual image.
Then, when she learned that the book was passed to Kyle Kinston from Dorian Howards, she even more felt at a loss for words.
Dorian Howards buying such a book... could it be for Alice?
Even though she still doesn’t understand why, Alice Conley apparently still has feelings for Dorian Howards but insists on rejecting him, yet she always hopes for a good outcome for her friend’s love life.
"Do you think they’ll end up together?" Mabel Quinn asked.
Kyle Kinston’s gaze was still on the pages, replying casually, "Dorian isn’t the type to give up easily, otherwise he wouldn’t have bought this kind of book."
Reading a book... and so attentively!
Mabel Quinn stepped forward, pressing down on the book in his hand, and asked with a smile, "And you, are you reading this book to win my heart?"
Only then did he look up, his dark eyes steadily gazing at her, "Yes, I just want to win your heart."
She didn’t expect his answer to be so straightforward.
Mabel Quinn’s face suddenly turned red, unsure of what to say next, not knowing how to respond, just feeling her heart pounding wildly at that moment.
"Tell me, what should I do to win your heart?" he asked, his gaze enveloping her entirely.
"What you’re doing now is pretty good already," she murmured.
"But I want to do even better, so you can love me more." Kyle Kinston said earnestly.
Mabel Quinn felt that with such a serious expression, the CEO saying such words was overwhelmingly impactful, making her want to pounce like a hungry wolf on a sheep.
The next day, Mabel Quinn, with a sore back, arrived on set. The filming had almost wrapped up, mainly shooting the scenes Grace Yowell missed earlier. As for the writing team, there’s basically nothing left to do. However, today, several colleagues from the writing team were summoned to the set, saying there’s a scene needing a large number of extra actors. They didn’t have enough people and had to temporarily draw some from the Corporation to fill in.
It was a post-explosion scene, with many injured or dead people lying on the street. Therefore, the extras had to have makeup applied to look all "bloody and battered."
