“How is it not you? They clearly said it was the CEO of the Lockwood Group, which is why I came. Otherwise, do you think I would show up for a backup?”
Angela’s words were a sharp knife to Simon’s ego.
A backup? Is that how she saw him?
Angela had come because she heard the CEO of the Lockwood Group was involved. The moment she got the news, she rushed over.
She had been thinking that Terence was finally getting serious, having his elders contact her family to arrange a meeting.
Did the two of them even need a formal meeting?
She never expected some random person to pop up and try to take her Terence's place. What a joke!
Edgar said, “Backup? You’re mistaken, Miss Everhart. Terence won’t be in that position for long. A disabled person is not fit to be the CEO of the Lockwood Group!”
“But Terence has taken the Lockwood Group to new heights over the years. And you underestimate him. He’s not just the CEO of the Lockwood Group, he’s also…”
Terence realized Angela was about to reveal his other identity and immediately cut her off. He didn’t want anyone else to know yet.
Terence said, “Angela, I don’t think anyone in the Lockwood family is suitable for you. You should look at other eligible bachelors.”
Angela was exasperated. Was her Terence saying no one in the Lockwood family was right for her?
Was he rejecting her again? Had rejecting her become a habit?
Angela looked at Terence and said, “Terence, how could no one in the Lockwood family be suitable for me? You’re a perfect fit. I had a reading with my psychic, and she said my aura is perfectly aligned with the Lockwood family, and an even stronger one with you.”
Angela’s voice was coquettish, the kind that would make any man’s heart race. But Terence was hopelessly dense when it came to romance.
Terence’s face darkened. “That fortune teller was spouting nonsense. Have them arrested and locked up!”
