Chapter 707: Chapter 707: She Really Dares to Reach Out and Hold It
His thin lips tightened, his delicate features expressionless.
He knew all too well how soft the hand before him was, even understanding which areas of this hand would make her purr like a kitten when nibbled and kissed.
His hawkish eyes narrowed, his face tense, he reached out, held the soft, small hand and tightened his grip hard—
Enna Clark’s fingers were smarting with pain, her mouth twitched slightly, but she gritted her teeth and endured it.
“Hello,” the two muted words seemingly squeezed through his teeth.
Those soul-stealing eyes piercingly swept across her face.
“…” Baron Lawrence truly had the urge to strangle her!
Hating that he couldn’t crush her hand bones.
But when his gaze fell on her pale face due to the pain, he didn’t know why, but his anger faltered. The force on her hand seemed to wane uncontrollably.
But he still didn’t let go, tightly gripping the small hand before him.
Feeling the pressure on her hand lessen considerably, Enna secretly let out a sigh of relief. But soon, she realized that her hand was still being held by him, with no intention of letting go.
Several other people looked over in surprise.
A cheerful male voice cut in, “This must be Rhine’s representative, right? The race just now was so exciting; it was a real feast for the eyes. I never imagined Rhine’s executive representative would be so young and beautiful. Hi, I’m Nathan Harris.”
The Harris family genes were strong, as evident from Rupert Harris.
Although Nathan’s features weren’t particularly good looking, he inherited the family’s high nose, thick eyebrows and big eyes, as well as the defined contours, giving him a sunny and handsome appearance. He didn’t look as cold as Rupert, nor too soft, striking a perfect balance that gave off a refreshing charm.
However, he wasn’t as refreshing in character as his appearance suggested. The reason he took the initiative to strike up a conversation was that he had already received news that the Rhine representative before him was not only representing Rhine, but she was also the First Young Lady of the Habsden Family.
Edward Jackson, the man in power of the Habsden family, protected his niece to an extreme.
For more than twenty years, she was almost never seen in public. Only in the last year did news emerge that the Habsden family had such a First Young Lady. Even so, she rarely appeared in public, and it was unknown why they chose her to represent Rhine Oil this time.
But he wanted that oil!
And he wanted the First Young Lady of the Habsden family even more!
Baron Lawrence’s murderous gaze swept over Nathan’s outstretched hand. If looks could kill, Nathan would have died countless times by now.
Still holding onto Enna’s hand, he showed no intention of letting go.
The scene was extremely awkward.
The remaining two people couldn’t help but feel concerned for the young Rhine representative. In this situation, whether she asked the proud and overbearing Young Master Lawrence to let go or ignored Second Young Master Harris’s outstretched hand in mid-air, it would offend someone. What choice would she make?
As the atmosphere grew tense, Enna extended her other hand, shaking hands with Nathan Harris in a polite and distant manner, saying, “You’re too kind, Young Master Harris. I’ve only recently started learning horse riding, and my skills are not very good. I’m sorry for any embarrassment I may have caused. Hello, my surname is Clark.”
She actually dared to reach out and shake his hand!
The veins in Baron Lawrence’s temples throbbed twice.
