Chapter 190

In the end, Daphne decided to hop in Lionel’s car because he threatened her, saying, “You can get in the car and pack your stuff yourself, or I’ll have Skyler Rex toss your stuff out.”

Skyler is Mr. Lionel’s assistant. Daphne gave Lionel a cute look and asked, “Can you give me Skyler’s phone number?”

“If you call me in an intimate way, such as Lion, I’ll tell you,” Lionel responded with a teasing grin, looking quite devilish. Without another word, Daphne opened the door, sat in the passenger seat, and buckled her seatbelt.

How much did she not want to call him? Wasn’t she pretty chummy with Skyler?

“Got your tongue?” Lionel wasn’t about to let the topic slide. He didn’t start the car, but instead turned to Daphne.

Daphne gave a fake smile and said, “In my mind, you’re like a god. Casually calling you by your name would totally diminish your status!”

“Then call me ‘Mr. Ideal.”

“Mr. Ideal!” Daphne called out in a low voice.

Only then did Mr. Lionel start the car, satisfied.

Lionel’s apartment had left a deep impression on Daphne, so when she stepped foot in the room, her legs were shaking.

“I’m not going to eat you!” Lionel opened the shoe cabinet and handed Daphne a pair of pink slippers.

Daphne remembered there were no women’s slippers in the house that morning, and she could tell these were new..

Seeing Daphne staring at the slippers, Mr. Lionel smirked, “I bought these for you. Feeling touched?”

Daphne wasn’t about to tell Lionel that she was staring at the slippers because she was thinking about how much effort Lionel put into trying to move her. She viewed him as a typical manipulative man.

So, she said, “Oh yes, I’m
