True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 27

"President, as you ordered, I sent Miss Smith back to the office," Lester reported, right after he returned to the manor.

Heinz stood by the window, his slender fingers holding a cigarette, exhaling fumes.

He did not speak.

Lester remained still and waited for instructions.

After a long while, Heinz asked, "Lester, shouldn't a man like me be desired by all women?"

Overwhelmed by this statement, Lester had to recover from his shock. He replied honestly, "No, President, no matter from which point of view, you are always perfectly handsome. You have a clean slate, no scandals and you have a good career. You are the most eligible bachelor in Northern City. Of course, you are worthy of every woman's desire."

Heinz fell silent.

He was as quiet as a mouse.

After a long time, Heinz puffed on his cigarette and spat out a mouthful of white smoke.

"Then why does a woman like Grace hate me?"

Lester was stunned. "Is that true?"

Heinz took another puff and suddenly said in a deep voice, "She is blind."

Lester widened his eyes, opened his mouth, and closed it immediately.

"Is she blind?" Heinz turned around and looked at Lester.

Lester felt a little uneasy. He was afraid of the president, so he nodded and said, "Well, her eyesight may not be very good."

"So, you too think that she does not like me?" Heinz immediately demanded.

Lester was scared out of his wits.

"No, president, maybe it was the way you approached her that was wrong?" Lester said.

"A woman refused me using the excuse that she is married?" Heinz sneered. "Am I so despicable?"

Lester immediately shook his head. "No, president, I just think that women may think differently from men."

"What's the difference?" Heinz questioned Lester.
