The Substitute Bride: Making Memories Of Us (Lois Stone)

Chapter 158: She Couldn't Afford Another Heartbreak

 As soon as Ayla left, Linda came over, and asked, "Mr.Clark, what's going on? Did you need to discuss something with Miss Woodsen?"

She then wrapped her arms around one of his arms.

"Not really.I was just passing by," said Brian, glancing at Linda indifferently.

"Well, do you have time to invite me to dinner tonight?"

She raised her head, gazing at him with seductive eyes, But Brian withdrew his arm, and said, "Miss Linda, don't you have to work overtime tonight?"

Linda backed away from him, humiliated.

She had tried her best to seduce him, but he didn't seem to be charmed at all.She had believed that she was an attractive and enchanting woman.

As long as she gave someone the slightest hints of invitation, many men would fall before her feet.

Was Brian immune to her wiles? 

‘That's impossible"

In her eyes, all men were the same.She was determined to capture his heart.

"Well, maybe we can have dinner some other time instead," Linda said awkwardly after Brian rejected her.

She felt ashamed of herself after that blunder.

Hearing that put a smile on his lips.

"Got it.Then I won't take up any more of your time."

He wasn't in the mood to waste his time on her right now.He couldn't figure out what Ayla was thinking.

Yesterday, all kinds of rumors arose about him and Linda, saying that they were having an affair in the company.

Ayla didn't even bat an eyelash, nor did she ask him about it.

And after what happened today, she reminded him to ignore her while they were inside the company.

But why would he subject himself to her commands? Moments later, he drove back to his apartment.

When he arrived, he saw Ayla sitting at the dining table alone.

The servant was surprised to see him.

"Mr.Clark, you're back."

"That's right."
