James turned to face Thea.
She could not take her eyes off him.
However, in the instant James turned, she was dismayed.
She could not see his face as he was wearing a mask. It was not the same ghost mask from before. Instead, it was a silver mask. It covered his face, and only his eyes, nose, mouth, and chin were revealed.
James turned and glanced at Thea.
He saw the nervousness in her.
He gave her a slight smile. “Make yourself at home. Have a seat.”
Thea recollected herself and took a seat on the sofa of the office.
James took the seat opposite her.
“M-Mr. Caden, thank you for everything you’ve done for me.”
Thea opened her mouth to speak. Her voice was shaky.
Anyone could tell she was nervous.
James waved her off. “If not for you, I would’ve died in the fire ten years ago. I know you’ve gone through a lot over the past ten years. I could never pay back my debts to you.”
James was speaking the truth.
He could never truly repay his debts to Thea.
Thea mustered her courage and lifted her head to look at James.
The man before her wore a white, spotless suit and a silver mask. He had a distinctive aura that was unlike any other.
It was the aura of a successful man. The vibes he gave off would be suffocating to the ordinary person.
She opened and closed her mouth, unable to speak.
She wanted to tell him she was married and would like him to take back the betrothal gifts.
Yet, James’ aura was too strong and irresistible.
She was deeply attracted to him.
If only he was her husband.
A preposterous idea floated into her mind.
She shook her head as if to shake off the idea. “C-Can I see what you look like beneath the mask?”
