    Naomi did not reply. She pushed the door open and chased Francisco. When Francisco arrived at the


    car park, he saw something through the reflection of the window, and his hand froze. He turned his head


    around to look at Naomi. “Is there anything I can help you with, Ms. Topaz?”


    Naomi was panting heavily. She took a deep breath to calm herself down and straightened her back,”I’m


    sorry, Mr. Boucher. We didn’t mean to pry into your private matters. I hope you won’t take it to heart.”


    Francisco looked at her and replied, “I’m not a petty-minded person. What’s more, these rumors may not


    be just rumors. What if they’re true?”


    Naomi was stunned.


    Francisco smiled at her faintly and continued. “You’re too gullible, Ms. Topaz. You think I’m not that kind


    of person, but what if I really am that kind of person? What would you do when you find out, Ms. Topaz?”


    Naomi lowered her head and clenched her hands together tightly. “My instinct tells me that you’re not.”


    He looked at her fixedly and chuckled.” Really? Honestly, I don’t know if you’re naive or just ignorant.”


    Naomi pressed her lips tightly and did not say anything.


    He ced his hand on the door and fixed his gaze on the person in front of him. “Is it because of my


    looks?”


    “What?” she asked.


    Franciscobed his hair to the back and grinned, resuming his goofing attitude. “Is it because I’m your


    type, so you think I’m not that kind of person? If I were another person, would you still think the same?”


    Naomi looked at him. She could vaguely sense the sarcasm in his words, “You think it’s because you’re


    my type?”


    “Is it not?” Francisco shrugged. “Everyone in this world loves beautiful things. You’re so naive and


    innocent. You’ve been well-protected by Mr. Topaz, so I suppose you haven’t had much contact with


    other men. Once you’ve seen more. I’m sure you won’t think that way anymore.”


    “Mr. Boucher,” Naomi took a deep breath, “I think I haven’t done anything wrong. You think I have a thing


    for you because you’re my type? Yes, I admit that I do have a thing for you, but you don’t have to go so


    far with your words. If you think I’m causing you trouble, then you can rest assured. I promise I won’t


    show up in front of you again.” When she finished talking, Naomi nodded at him and ran away, leaving


    Francisco to stand frozen stiff on the spot for a long while. At the Topaz mansion…


    Naomi was ying with her food on the table. She did not understand why Francisco would think of her


    that way.


    It was true that she had a thing for him, but she did not force him to like her back, so she was unable to


    fathom his hostility.


    “Nelly, what’s wrong?” Anthony asked, pulling her back from her thoughts.


    “Huh? I’m fine,” Naomi replied and lowered her head. Anthony then continued, “I need you to attend a


    cocktail party with me in two days. I haven’t introduced you to my friends. I know you don’t like to attend


    asions like that, but this is a formality we need to go through. After all, myworks will be yours in


    the future, so I think you should meet them first.”Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    Naomi lifted her head to look at him. “But… I don’t want to embarrass you…”


    Anthony chuckled and said, “Don’t worry. You’re my daughter. Just be yourself. You don’t need to care


    about other people.”


    She nodded. “Alright. I’ll go with you.”


    Even though she did not like to attend big events like that, she would have to face them alone in the


    future and could not


    always rely on her father. Her goal was to make her own brand, so she would have to be exposed to


    those asions in the future


    At night, at the hospital…


    Sandy sat nkly on the bed. She had sent a few messages to Tanner, but thetter had only replied to


    her once and disappeared
