Cupid's Arrow Hit On Me novel (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 1439

Duncan stared at Lily in silence. After some time, he said calmly, “This is your decision, Ms. Harmon. You can do as you wish, but I won’t reciprocate or accept your feelings just because of this.”

He knew that Lily’s feelings for him had not extended to one of love. Therefore, she could remain alert and rational when facing his reply. She even accepted the fact that she lost to Liberty calmly.

However, he still made things clear beforehand.

No matter what Lily did, Duncan would never accept her.

He did not have a big heart. It was only enough for one person.

The woman who entered his heart first would be kept there forever.

Duncan would feel happy if he could marry the person he loved. If he could not marry her, he would not forget her and store his feelings for her in the depths of his heart.

Lily smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Duncan. I won’t expect you to repay me or accept my feelings for this. We’re all adults. We have to face the consequences of all the decisions we make.

“You can reject me if I invite you privately, but I hope you’ll give me an opportunity for business collaborations. Although Harmon Corporation hasn’t set its foundation in Wiltspoon, we’re still a mega-corporation back in our place.”

Duncan met her gaze. Her eyes were honest.

After a moment of silence, he said, “Regarding business collaborations, I won’t refuse to work with Harmon Corporation if the discussion is smooth and it’s a win-win situation.”

Lily said with a smile, “I’m relieved to hear this.”

After she finished her coffee, she said to Duncan, “I still have matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first. See you tonight, Duncan.”

They were going to the Buchams’ house to attend Josh and Jasmine’s engagement party that night.
