CEO’s Surrender: With You, I Can Never Win

Chapter 15

Calvin grumbled the moment they were alone.

Thankfully, the man released his collar almost immediately. Otherwise, they would probably end up on the front page of society news.

But Calvin knew better than to run back to the beautiful young lady without appeasing the jealous king.

“Bryan, I don’t care how much you like me, but why did you do that? I’m so embarrassed! Anyway, Finley and I are fated for each other. I’d appreciate it if you did not come between true love.”

Bryan’s gloomy face darkened and he sneered, “True love?”

Calvin declared confidently, “Yes. Don’t worry, I’ll invite you to the wed-”

Before Calvin finished speaking, a hard punch landed on his stomach.

“Ow!”

Calvin held his stomach and complained noisily, “What the h*II! Bryan! Is this how you treat your good friend? I’ve blocked so many women for you, why can’t you let me have a shot at love with the amazing Fin-”

Unable to stand another word out of Calvin’s mouth about his supposed relationship with Finley, Bryan snapped, “She is my wife.”

Even though they were in a contract marriage and he had rejected her the night before, seeing another man hit on his wife set his teeth on edge. When Finley had smiled at the b*stard, he almost punched the man there and then.

Still lost in his daydream, Calvin was confused.

“Huh? Who? You’re married? What does that have to do with-”

Seeing the glare on Bryan’s usually expressionless face, a lightbulb clicked on in Calvin’s head.
