Pampered by the Demon

“Is Mrs. Abraham a shutterbug?” Colton asked.

“Yes. Are you, Mr. Shields?”

Colton showed her the EF camera hung around his neck, which was like the one in Scarlett’s hand.

He thought they shared the same interests.

Scarlett didn’t expect the magnate to like photography and even used a camera from the same brand.

“Yours is a high configuration model, right? The battery won’t work.” Scarlett told the difference at a glance.

“What? Aren’t they the same? I saw it from afar and found its halo is the same as mine.” Colton was a fanatical photographer.

Just now, he could tell the type of halo far away but failed to recognize that the man standing next to Scarlett was Mike, a tycoon.

Right after hearing her say that it was out of battery, Colton came over.

“It will work,” Mike suddenly said as he took the battery from Colton and skillfully changed it for Scarlett.

“This is…” Colton found something.

Scarlett’s camera was a cheaper model on the surface, with configuration the same as that of Colton’s.

In other words, her camera took a cheaper model’s housing but the best configuration.

“Mr. Shields, you look great.” Mike changed the topic naturally after changing the battery and tossing the camera to Scarlett.

As a business veteran like Mike, Colton immediately knew that Mike did not want to continue this topic.

Although Colton’s establishment and the Abraham Group were in different countries, Colton had heard of this world-renowned young man.

It was rumored that Mike was shrewd, cold-blooded, but he struck Colton as a considerate husband.

And Mike’s wife looked so much like Kate.

Mike was displeased by Colton’s fixed gaze on Scarlett, but Mike’s expression remained indifferent.

Mike leaned sideways without their notice and just blocked Colton’s sight.

“A few days ago, my wife had a good chat with your daughter. Can we ask your daughter out so that my wife can catch up with her?”

Mike’s words indeed diverted Colton’s attention.

“Has Elaine ever met Mrs. Abraham?”

“We had a great chat.” Mike paid attention to Colton’s reaction.

“Elaine told me that she has been fascinated by some country’s scenery, so she has not returned yet. You and your wife can visit my home and let me entertain you if you don’t mind.”

“I’d like to, but my wife already booked a plane ticket for Northumberg tomorrow. Maybe next time.” Mike’s lukewarm response upset Colton to some extent.

“What a pity,” Colton said regretfully.

Realizing that he should not have been so keen on Scarlett since they just met each other, Colton started talking about business.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Mike exchanged a few words with him, and Scarlett finally finished taking photos.

“Thank you, Mr. Shields.” She unloaded the battery and handed it to Colton.

“You’re welcome. I see you are very professional. Is it your major?”

“No, I’m just an amateur.”

Even the slow-witted Scarlett felt something strange.

The way Colton looked at her was more than eager.

On the way back, Scarlett asked Mike a few questions about Colton.

“Is Mr. Shields Elaine’s father? He looks very young.”

“Yes.”

“Is he a native?” Colton looked like an Asian, but his eyes were blue.

“Why are you so concerned about him?” Mike sounded a bit depressed.

He was furious that another man held her hand and stared at her just now.

“I’m just curious. I have this feeling that he was quite handsome when he was young.”

When Mike heard her praise Colton so blatantly, he got more depressed.

“But I don’t think he is as handsome as you, even in his younger years. The first time I saw your face…”

Mike braked and looked straight at her. The story interrupted earlier was resumed.

If the lunar halo had not occurred ahead of time, Mike would have heard this.

Scarlett said it before he asked.

Mike pulled over by the side of the road and looked at her intently, waiting for her to continue.

“Why did you stop all of a sudden?” Scarlett just mentioned it but his reaction was unexpectedly intense.

“It’s better to tell me the whole story.”

Scarlett looked at him strangely. ‘Are you nervous?’ she wondered.

‘Iceberg, I can’t believe you feel uneasy.”

But she didn’t think she had said anything extreme.

She even saw the veins on his hand holding the steering wheel bulge.

“I was impressed by your looks when we first met, though you looked cold.”

The word “cold” was actually a euphemistic way of saying that Mike had stricken her as a man with inflated egos and superiority.

“And then?”

“That’s all.”

This was not the answer Mike expected.

As a result, Scarlett once again felt his cold gaze which added more chill to this cool night.

The car drove away. Scarlett could tell that Mike was unhappy again.

She knew it even though he didn’t let off steam.

‘What was wrong with you? Can’t I praise your good looks?’ She was confused.

“Do you know why I say you would be more popular than the younger Shields? It’s because he looks like a considerate man like Richard at first glance. In other words, people tend to believe he is good at taking care of girls.”

Scarlett felt regret immediately after saying it.

How could she bring up Richard?

The name was a taboo in the family. Every time she said it, Mike would be mad.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, things got intense in the car.

Scarlett gathered her coat and looked nervously at Mike’s face.

He still had a poker face as usual, but his lips were pursed.

“I… I didn’t mean that.” Scarlett saw his angry face and wanted to explain, but she didn’t know where to start.

Mike remained silent as a response.

“I just want to say that girls like icebergs like you. A considerate man is not as popular as you. Believe me!”

She didn’t know why things ended like this. She had come out for fun.

“What about you?” His voice gave no trace of emotion. Only the veins on his hands revealed his feelings at this moment.

“Me?” She couldn’t get it.

“So a man like Richard is your type, right?”

Richard was very considerate and good at sweet talk. Besides, he took good care of people and smiled a lot, even although Mike did not want to admit all this.

Mike knew very well that Richard was her type.

Richard was completely different from Mike.

“Guys like him were my type a few years ago. But now I…” Scarlett glanced at Mike and her face turned red.
