Chapter 574: Overthinking It
She took out the small mirror she carried with her, looked into it, and raised a smile that was both attractive and not overly flattering. Only after putting the mirror back in her purse, taking a deep breath, and looking at the man directly ahead with burning eyes, did she clench her fists and walk over calmly —
As she was about to approach him, Miranda’s smile became more natural, and her eyes grew brighter.
However, at that moment,
Two staff members appeared from nowhere, blocking her path, “Sorry, Miss, you cannot go there.”
Miranda looked at the man not far away and unwillingly asked, “Why?”
“A distinguished guest has reserved this area and asked that, aside from his family members, no one disturbs him. We hope you understand.”
Doesn’t that mean she won’t be able to get close to him? Miranda reluctantly said, “I am Mr. Lawrence’s girlfriend’s cousin, and he helped me out before. I want to thank him again.”
The staff members remained unmoved, still maintaining a polite yet distant smile, and extended their hand to block her way, “Sorry, the distinguished guest only mentioned that Ms. Clark can come over, he did not mention that her cousin could come. Please do not make it difficult for us.”
Miranda stared longingly at the man within reach, her lower lip clenched. She did not want to leave now, but since she couldn’t get through, she was left with no choice.
Just as she was in a stalemate with the staff, the proud and distinguished man suddenly raised his head and looked in her direction —
His features were deep, with a mixed-blood feel, sharp hawk-like eyes, a tall nose bridge, and rose-colored, sensual thin lips, perfect for kissing. Under the sunlight, he looked like an Ancient Greek god, dazzling people to the point that they couldn’t bear to look directly at him.
Miranda stiffened under his gaze, not knowing where to place her hands and feet. Her heartbeat involuntarily quickened…
Just as her blood was about to flow backward, the man looking at her suddenly furrowed his brows, took off his Bluetooth earpiece, and stood up.
His long, strong legs, even more so than a male model’s, made him stand out from the crowd!
He took a step forward, walking in Miranda’s direction…
Miranda, in disbelief, slowly widened her eyes, her heartbeat so fast it seemed to burst out of her chest.
Not only her, but even the two hotel staff members were puzzled.
Didn’t this distinguished guest instruct them not to allow unrelated people to approach him? Was he especially adamant that no women other than Ms. Clark were allowed to come near him? Why was he now walking over to her on his own initiative? Could it be that the relationship between this so-called cousin and Mr. Lawrence was not the one-sided affair they imagined, but that both parties had some feelings for each other? Were they just unable to make it obvious due to Ms. Clark’s presence?
Baron Lawrence had no idea what they were thinking. If he knew what they were thinking, he would definitely pry open their heads to see if their brains were filled with water. From beginning to end, he hadn’t noticed Miranda at all. He had just seen Enna Clark at the other end of the beach, who seemed to be involved in some kind of argument.
He didn’t even give an iota of attention to the excited and anticipating Miranda, and walked right past her —
“Mr. Lawr…” Before she could finish calling out, the distinguished man had already walked past her. Miranda was momentarily stunned. Looking in the direction he went, she saw Enna Clark. She immediately realized what was going on, her face flushed red, and she quickly followed…
