The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1136

He squinted his eyes, staring intently at the woman with the pure smile.

Lately, he had been suppressing a rising anger within him, which seemed to be provoked every time he saw Cicely's smile. Even for a fleeting moment, he felt a dark emotion surging in his blood, darker than gloominess.

Cicely waved at him with a smile, then lifted her wine glass. The bright light in the banquet hall reflected a soft glow in her eyes.

Her pleasing smile was blinding.

Upon seeing Claud's awkward expression, Cicely waved her hand saying “just a misunderstanding”, then raised her wine glass and clinked it against Claud's glass in a pleasing manner, “I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. Cheers to you, don't be mad.”

Her tone was full of appeasement. After all, suspecting a man of having a secret could really hurt his pride. Most importantly, her future work would largely depend on Claud.

She put the wine glass to her red lips, emptied the champagne in one go, then withdrew the glass. As her gaze shifted, she caught a glimpse of a man by the pool out of the corner of her eye.

Her movements paused for a moment, then she slightly turned her gaze and saw a woman walking towards the man. She quickly averted her gaze, put down her wine glass, and looked at Claud, her smile still as bright as ever.

Danielle gracefully took the man's arm amid the admiring glances of others.

Seth stood tall and straight, his eyes slightly lowered, and he glanced casually at the woman who was approaching him.

"Are you guys done talking?"

"Mm."

Danielle's face was full of radiant smiles, but her heart was in chaos. She didn't know when it started, but she always felt that the distance between this man and herself was getting farther and farther.

There seemed to be an insurmountable chasm between them. Although they had come a long way, they never seemed to be able to truly get close to each other.

Now, the distance between them seemed to be getting farther and farther, just like the moving earth's crust, deepening and widening the chasm between them.

This feeling was terrifying. When did this start?

She looked at the smiling woman across the room, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. Perhaps... it started when she saw this woman released from jail.

In her gaze, she saw the mixed shadows of Chloe and Winston and another person she was not very familiar with.

Danielle lowered her head and gently tugged on the man's arm. "Seth, let's go say hi to Chloe and Winston. The movie we're working on is about to start shooting."

Seth's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the woman across the room who was talking non-stop. A sarcastic smile played at the corners of his mouth.

From the moment they met outside the hotel to now, for almost the entire evening, her gaze had never lingered on him.

Instead, she was joking with a group of seemingly unimportant people, full of smiles.

Was he the one who agreed to let her work?

He lowered his gaze, submerging the bright lights and the woman's smile in the depths of his eyes, and responded lightly.
