Billionaire and His Scheming Beauty

Chapter 26: To Hug Olivier's Woman

Simon observed the woman's captivating features with a tilt of his head. Her innocent expression

teased him.

His heart suddenly stirred hard and fast.

"Why don't you tell him how wonderful I am? I can be however he likes, sexy or cute, so he can forget

about Virginie Lopez and come to me instead."

The veins in Simon's neck throbbed.

He walked over and grabbed Fleur's face, leaning down suddenly. It was not sure what he wanted to do

next.

At that moment, his phone rang.

With Fleur's face still in his hand, he retrieved his phone from his pocket. "Hello?"

"Where are you?"

Olivier's voice rang out.

"I..."

"Here at..." Fleur suddenly said, but Simon silenced her with one hand the moment she spoke. His arm

had reached from behind her to do so while answering the phone with another hand. It looked like he

was hugging her from behind.

This close, their bodily scents intermingled. Fleur could clearly see Simon's Adam's apple bobbing at

he spoke. There was no trace of fat on his chin, giving him a masculine, handsome air.

Simon's eyes flashed in warning as he glanced at her, then replied to Olivier, "Is something up?"

"Mhm."

"I'm a little busy right now. I'll call you back."

Simon hung up then looked down at Fleur. There was a bright, cunning look in her eyes. "The audacity

you have, to hug Olivier's woman while talking to him."

"...You really are bold."

"That's none of your business. Why didn't you let me talk to Olivier?"

Simon pursed his lips coldly, removing his hand. "You want to talk to him that badly?"

"Well, not really," Fleur said. "Sometimes men and women need a third party's interference to grow

closer, and that interference might not even have anything to do with love. That's the downside to

men's nature, as well as human nature. I don't mind being a bargaining chip between you two before

he falls in love with me."

"..."

"Usually after this kind of pursuit, beasts quickly fall in love with their prey, then keep them for their

own. Young Master Samuel, you'll have to suffer a bit for my relationship with Master Olivier to grow."

Simon's interest was piqued. "You want me to drive a wedge between you two?"

"That's right."

"...There's also the possibility that the beast will quickly lose interest in its prey, then tear it apart until

there's nothing left, only ashes."

"If so..." Fleur laughed. "You can keep on being interested in me. If Olivier doesn't like me anymore, I'll

go to you since you're rich too."

"..."

"Be careful though. Master Olivier must have recognised my voice. He might even be suspicious now."

Simon's phone rang again, this time it was from The Martinez's corporation's secretary office.

Fleur's smile grew brighter.

"Why bother waiting?" Simon let his phone continue ringing. "You can come to me right now." Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Didn't you suspect I killed your brother?"

"You probably don't know me well enough then. Olivier can become blind and single-minded when he

likes someone, but me...I would cut off ties with everyone I know."

"But I don't even like you."

"..."

Fleur rubbed her palms. "Master Simon, I'm afraid if you stay here longer you'll...explode. Careful, you

still need it to carry on your bloodline."

A suppressed storm brewed in Simon's dark eyes. "You're stunning indeed. You really have a way with

seduction."

"Thank you for your compliment."

Simon prepared to leave, but not before glancing first at her then the bottle of wine. "That wine can stay

here for now. Remember I can take it back anytime I please. But if I find out that you really were

involved with Samuel's death, I'll tear you in half even if you're Olivier's prized pet by then."

......

After Simon left, Fleur stayed at the desk still.

Slowly, her smile faded to be replaced by the mess of emotions she was feeling.
