Chapter 18

His buddy chimed in, Dream on, man. You think you’ve got a shot with a woman like that? Maybe as her chauffeur, if you’re lucky.” 

Ha, I’d be her chauffeur in a heartbeat! For free!” 

Yvan’s brow furrowed slightly, and when he looked up again, there was Matilda standing before him, radiating a cool aura. Her Indifferent gaze and stunning features were etched with aloofness and detachment. A flicker of panic crossed her eyes when she saw him

Yvan just stood there, frozen. He was wearing a creatively tailored white shirt and sharp dress. pants that outlined his straight legs, with a pair of Balenciaga sneakers on his feet. One hand was pinching car keys, the other casually holding a jacket. His face was rakishly handsome, and twin black diamond studs in his left ear twinkled in harmony with his obsidian eyes

He was still the one she cherished in her heart, and she remained the girl in his eyes

Time flew, and their situation had deteriorated beyond recognition. Who was the unseen hand. that had pushed them to this

Matilda shook off her wandering thoughts and looked up as Yvan approached her, his presence shining like a star, dwarfing everyone around until he stood before her

As his perfect face drew near, Matilda realized with sadness that her heart no longer skipped
