Kyhe was taken aback
It was only now that she realized her entire body was still leaning against Lucas, with her hands tightly wrapped around his
She quickly released him and sat up straight.
“It was just an accident” Kylie explained
Lucas sneered, clearly not believing her.
However, he didn’t say much perhaps out of consideration for Mond’s presence
Kylie found Lucas’s attitude irritating: “Whis did he think he was Did he assume every woman would want to cling to hum
Kylie shifted her body, sitting a hit farther away creating a distance between herself and him
“Misc Stafford, it’s better to fasten your weather for safety Lucas reminded her
Kylie took a deep breath, telling herself not to get upset
Of course, Kylie knew that Laas wouldn’t he so kind hearted. He was just afraid she might find another excuse to sling to hum
She endured the itati

His guard and prejudice against her were evident.

Kylie wasn’t one to hold grudges, but 1.
She endured it trying hard to focus all her attention on the rsation with Mood.compitely groring Lucass presence
“I had pizza in Musnon but it’s not as authentic as Kenville’s The taste is really different Mond praised as he continued eating “Isn’t that right. Lucas
“Yeah.” Lucas responded, eating quietly on the side. He was eating quite a hat.
Kylie didn’t want to observe how much Lucas was eating, but he managed to finish an entire plate of pizza
Kylie only managed to eat one piece.
Oh by the way, Lovely, Mond called her “Lucas is here in Kersille to expand his e-commerce platform. Although he’s half Kenville local, liis dad immigrated twenty years ago, so he doesn’t have many connections here. Could you help him a bit? Luras and I have been friends for a while now. My relationship with him is almost as close as ours”
“Mr. Limoni, if there’s anything you need help with feel free to let me know. I’ll do my best to avust.” Kylie didn’t reject considering her Triendship with Mond
Over the years in the business world, she knew how to handle such situations
on my own when I return. I won’t trouble you. Miss
“No, thanks, Lucas directly refused. I’ll handle the business matters on my Stafford.
“You must know the network of relationships is crucial in their country. Otherwise, you won’t even be able to get your foot in the door, Mond explained to Lucas.
This was a country where personal connections mattered a lot, sometimes more than money.
“Since I’m not familiar with Miss Stafford, I can’t trouble her,” Lucas said.
“Well, you can start knowing each other now! Mond shrugged. Otherwise, why did he invite them out for dinner today?
Before Lucas could speak, his phone suddenly rang,
He glanced at the incoming call, and a different gaze appeared in his eyes.
“Sorry, I need to
te this call,” he said, then got up and left.
Mond looked at his departing figure and turned back to Kylie. “Don’t mind his attitude. He may seem difficult, but he’s a good person. He helped me a lot when I faced difficulties in Mushon.”
“Maybe our vibes don’t match.” Kylie didn’t want to pretend anymore. She couldn’t keep up the act.
“Oh, he’s not targeting you.” Mond sighed and explained, “It’s not entirely his fault. You’ve seen his looks
Too many women like him. Some women go to extreme lengths to get his attention. The craziest even resorted to illegal means, kidnapping him That’s why he has a repulsion when it comes to women.”
Kylie was somewhat astonished. She found it hard to believe that things could get this crazy.
“It’s true,” Mond repeated.
“In that case, you shouldn’t have introduced him to me,” Kylie said.
Mond revealed his thoughts. “I also think you and him make a great couple.”
Kylie almost spit out the drink she had just taken. ‘Since when dill Mond become a matchmaker?”
Mond added, “I’ve seen you being single for these years, and I wanted to introduce a boyfriend to you. After some thought, 1 felt no one was worthy of you until I met Lucas last year. At first sight, I thought he was perfect for you…
“Don’t play Cupid. I appreciate your good intentions, but he and I don’t click. And as you saw, he has a lot of hostility towards me.” Kylie quickly rejected the idea.
She even thought about what would happen if Lucas knew Mond was trying to set them up.
She couldn’t imagine how much he would dislike her.
Of course, Kylie didn’t need to care about the opinions of a stranger, but there was no need to put herself in an awkward situation.
Before Mond could say more, Lucas returned, apologizing, “Sorry, my girlfriend called.”
“Wait, you have a girlfriend?” Mond was visibly shocked.
Lucas remained calm, “Yes.”
Mond exclaimed, I’ve never heard you mention it before.”
“You never asked, Lucas replied.
Mond felt a bit awkward. He glanced at Kylie.

Kylie gestured that she didn’t mind.

Lucas sensed something and said frankly. T’m not interested in ordinary women, and I might even be repelled by those who are overly enthusiastic.”
Kylie couldn’t take it anymore.
She said bluntly to Lucas, “Mr. Limon, I thought we were strangers, and we only met because of Mond’s insistence. But after tonight, we are still strangers, so there’s no need to explain anything. However, your attitude tonight has made me feel that you are a bit too self-important. I have to speak my mind.”
Lucas’s face turned visibly unpleasant. Mond, on the other hand, seemed more excited.
“Firstly, let me clarify that I’m not interested in you. I admit that I did size you up for a few seconds just now solely because you bear a striking resemblance to a friend of mine. Secondly, I have a son who is ten years old. I have no interest whatsoever in someone like you.” Kylic added. “And if I were to find a stepfather for my son, I would choose someone mature and stable, which you are not. Lastly, I am very selective when it comes to men. I avoid those who are arrogant, self- centered, and think too highly of themselves.”
Kylie looked at Lucas and remarked, “So, Mr. Limon, rest assured that in a world where men have become extinct, I still would not be interested in you.”
After that/she didn’t even bother to look at Lucas’s face. She turned to Mond and apologized, “The pizza was delicious, but some people are just unappetizing. I’m leaving, I’ll treat you to dinner tomorrow.”
