Chapter 267
"But... but..."
"Ms. Ann, do you think I'm not good enough?"
"It's not that you're not good enough; I just think you two don't match well."
"Why not?" Pax flexed his arms, showing off his biceps. "I mean, my physique and looks aren't too shabby, right?"
Ann couldn't help but laugh at his childish display. "I just feel like Chloe doesn't really see you as a man."
It was obvious to anyone. Chloe only treated him as a younger brother, maybe even a little kid.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Pax's mood sank immediately.
They'd been around each other for a week, so how could he not have noticed?
Chloe didn't see him as a man at all. Sometimes, he'd purposely come out of the shower bare-chested when she got home.
He looked lean but had a six-pack. Even if he flexed his muscles right in front of her on purpose, she barely glanced his way. She showed no interest at all.
Instead, she'd remind him that the air conditioning was cold and that he should hurry and get dressed to avoid catching a cold.
So, Pax decided he needed to confess his feelings.
He didn't have much time left. His mom could find out where he was at any moment.
If Chloe didn't start seeing him as a man, nothing could ever happen between them. So he planned to confess.
Success wasn't guaranteed, but he just wanted Chloe to know he was pursuing her as a man. He did not want to be forever seen as a younger brother.
After getting home, Pax called Chloe. "Chloe, do you have time tonight?"
"Yeah, what's up, Pax?"
Pax took a deep breath. "Could you come to my performance tonight? You've been so supportive, and I have a gift I want to give you." Chloe's voice was soft and pleasant. "Oh, you don't need to give me a gift. I'm helping you because I want to, not for gifts. So... what gift is it?" Pax chuckled. "You'll find out tonight."
"You are keeping secrets now, huh. Alright, I'll bring a friend along tonight to introduce to you."
Chloe really liked Pax.
Though their meeting was by chance, for some reason, she always felt a sense of familiarity around him. Moreover, this young man was clean and kind, like the morning sun. He was also independent, which made her feel sympathetic. Chloe was willing to
take care of him a bit more.
At four in the afternoon, in the CEO's office of CNR Tower, Teddy rushed back in from outside.
Entering the CEO's office, he placed the finance department's quarterly report on Connor's desk. "Boss, here's the report you asked for." Connor didn't rush to open it. Instead, he looked up and asked, "How's everything going with Pax?"
Teddy replied, "Everything at the
venue is set up. Pax will first
perform, then he'll hide inside a gift box and push it towards the girl, letting her open it herself."
"Then Pax will appear holding flowers and confess his feelings. At the same time, flowers and balloons will fall from the second floor creating a romantic atmosphere."
After Teddy finished, he said with a bit of pride, "Boss, don't worry, I've got this covered. I doubt any girl could resist such a romantic gesture."
Though Teddy seemed quite reserved, Connor knew that back in college, he was a pro at wooing girls.
Connor and Teddy were college mates. Back then, Teddy was into racing, with a constant stream of girls in the passenger seat.
