Chapter 279
The man appeared to be younger than thirty dressed in internationally renowned brands, and persessed handsome features
However, Comelia spoke directly. It is impolite to stare at me without my consent
The man responded with a smile. âSo, if I have your permission can I continue to gaze at you?â He chuckled softly and then asked, âAre you going to Harbor City alone? Are you going for leute or work?â
To Comels, the strangerâs words and actions were undoubtedly firtatious and she had no desire to engage with him âWe donât know each other, and what I do has nothing to do with youâ
Despite Comeliaâs straightforward rejection, the man remained unfazed, maintaining his charming smile âWell then, allow me to introduce myself Fam Hayden Ruff, a native of Harbor City And you, what in your
name?â
Comelia immediately searched for information about this man. Hayden Ruff the scion of the Ruff Corporation and the future successor of the Huff Corporation
Sheâd heard some scandalous rumors about him recently Rumor had it, heid taken a fancy to a fresh college graduate But when the girl didnt reciprocate his feelings, he resorted to dirty tactics, causing her to have
a breakdown
Of course, these were just tumors Comelia had no way to verify their truth.
But she knew that being tangled up with such a powerful figure would be a pain in the butt. She needed to figure out a way to shake him off.
Looking at him, he didnât quite match his photos online if it werenât for his introduction, she might not have recognized him, âMr. Raft, are you looking to woo me, or asking me out?â
Hayden Ruff a man whoâd seen all sorts of women, was a bit disappointed at Corneliaâs change of tune
But Comelia was a knockout, so even if it was just flirting, he wouldnât be on the losing end, âWhich one are you hoping for?â
Comelia didnât miss the complexity in his gaze as he looked at her a mix of weanness and interest
She gave a soft laugh, her voice noticeably gentle, âEither works, as long as you have something good to offer
What benefits are you looking for?â As Hayden Ruff put on his sunglasses, he began sizing up this stunning woman. Heâd been taught from a young age to be wary of sudden beauties.
He had to figure out if she had known his identify all along and deliberately sat next to him, or if she had just learned he was Hayden Ruff
if she had known his identity from the start and pretended not to, no matter how beautiful she was, he couldnât touch her. He wouldnât walk into a trap set by others.
Hayden Ruff was nobodyâs puppet
With his sunglasses on, Cornelia couldnât see his eyes, but from his facial expression, she could tell he was looking down on her. With a little more effort, he might lose interest completely
Comelia quickly recalled information about the Ruff Corporation, remembering a real estate development project they were currently bidding on
She had a strategy at hand. âI heard that youâre in charge of the Evergreen Estates bidding. If you could-â
Hayden Ruff was a flirt, but he wouldnât jeopardize his family business for a woman Before Cornelia could finish, he cut her off coldly, âJust tell me straight up, who sent you to get close to me?â
