As he spoke, he suddenly leaned closer to the screen.
His flawless face filled the display.
He flashed a captivating smile, his voice laced with amusement. “Serena, how many more surprises do you have that I don’t know about?”
“Be honest with me. Are you some kind of time-traveling sorceress? Or maybe an old soul who's spent lifetimes perfecting all these skills?”
Serena laughed. “The busy heir to the Blackwood empire reads cheesy fantasy novels too?”
“All the secrets to winning a girl’s heart are in those novels,” Nicholas said with a straight face.
Serena was speechless for a moment.
She couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Mr. Big Shot, maybe you should delete those apps from your phone.”
“No can do. I haven’t won you over yet,” Nicholas said with a grin.
Serena rolled her eyes at him. “So, now that you know I’m Cloud, you’re not going to ask for that billion dollars back, are you?”
“Do I seem like that kind of person?” Nicholas looked serious. “On the contrary, I think you asked for too little. If I had known earlier that Cloud was you, I would have handed over all my assets on the spot. After all… my money will be yours to manage in the future.”
His gaze gradually intensified.
He deliberately drew out the last few words.
Even through the screen, Serena could feel the burning heat in his eyes.
The suggestive words made her heart flutter.
She scoffed, glancing away with a roll of her eyes. “What are we to each other? Who said I want to manage your money?”
The man seemed to notice the blush on her ears, and the smile on his strikingly handsome face deepened, becoming even more captivating.
He was utterly bewitching.
Serena felt a rush of heat to her face.
She changed the subject. “Did Brianna try on the dress? Does it fit? Does she like it? Does anything need to be altered?”
Nicholas chuckled. “The moment Brianna saw that dress, her eyes lit up. She absolutely loves it. And when she heard you designed it for her personally, she was so happy she practically jumped for joy.”
“Now, she wants to sleep with the dress, but she’s also afraid of wrinkling it.”
Hearing this, the smile on Serena’s lips deepened. “I’m glad she likes it.”
The man propped his chin on his hand, his handsome face filling the screen with a fond smile. “Oh, she likes it a lot. But… what about me?”
The smile on his lips grew even more enticing. “Serena, where’s the suit you personally designed for me?”
