The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

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.
