Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 479 - 478: A Chance Encounter with Chao and Mu
But most of them were still girls.
Selena Kensington felt more and more uneasy as she watched.
Why were more and more girls gathering around Sterling Norwood?
And judging by their stance, they were almost about to go up and ask for contact information!
Even though Sterling Norwood always remained indifferent, and never glanced sideways, seemingly unaffected by the heated gazes around him.
Nevertheless, quite a few girls still surrounded him, unwilling to leave.
In fact, several girls were discussing forming a group to ask for his contact information.
"You go, I don’t dare..."
"Ugh, you go!"
"Such a handsome guy, I wonder if he has a girlfriend..."
"Maybe he’s buying something for his girlfriend!"
"Not necessarily, if he had a girlfriend, she’d be here with him. I think he might be buying for a relative’s kid."
"How about... we ask?"
A few little girls huddled together, chattering endlessly.
From a distance, Selena Kensington found it more and more unsettling.
No way, those girls were clearly about to make a move!
There’s no way Selena could stand by while women made moves on her man.
In the end, she couldn’t hold back and walked over.
Just as those girls, after a fierce debate and an intense internal struggle, were mustering up the courage to approach Sterling Norwood.
"Honey, you’re so slow..."
Just as the girls surrounded Sterling Norwood and were about to speak, Selena’s voice rang out.
"...????"
"!!!!"
Then they saw Selena walk over and naturally hook her arm around Sterling Norwood’s.
The man who had been indifferent to everything suddenly lowered his head slightly, his voice hoarse and seductive, "Already craving more?"
His words were as indulgent as they were affectionate.
A few of the girls froze in their tracks, their steps rooted to the spot.
Turns out he didn’t just have a girlfriend, he was married!!!
The girls seemed to hear the sound of their hearts shattering.
After that, they watched Sterling Norwood and Selena Kensington buy some ice cream cones and then leave the dessert stand together.
"...Do all handsome guys belong to someone now!"
"Waaah, my heart just leapt up and then sank immediately!"
After leaving the dessert stand, Selena told Sterling about what had just happened.
"If I hadn’t come over in time, those girls would have hit on you!"
Selena said, eating her ice cream cone and venting to Sterling.
Sterling gave a slight smile, "But you did come over."
Selena snorted lightly.
Then she continued walking with Sterling.
Suddenly, they heard a voice from behind—Sloane Hawthorne’s—"Sis?"
Selena turned around to see Sloane Hawthorne and smiled, greeting her, "Sloane? What are you doing..."
"Wait, Cousin’s here too!?"
Just as Selena spoke, she noticed Silas Sinclair following behind Sloane, also wearing a mask.
Silas looked much the same as when he had first come to the set, so Selena recognized him.
Seeing Sloane and Silas appear together, Selena looked a bit puzzled.
"How are you both appearing together?"
Sloane blocked half of Silas’s body, placing one hand behind her to fiercely pinch the flesh on Silas’s waist, preventing him from speaking.
She smiled and replied to Selena, "I just happened to bump into Mr. Sinclair, and now I’ve run into you both."
Silas, in the back, was angry but didn’t dare to speak.
He slightly lifted his head, only to meet Sterling’s disdainful gaze.
That look seemed to say: How can you fail to win over a young girl after all this time?
"..."
At that moment, the provoked Silas really wanted to jump up and fight Sterling.
But this was clearly not the right occasion for that.
Plus, Sterling had a wife, which dealt Silas a fatal blow.
Hearing Sloane’s words, Selena didn’t think much and nodded.
Just that...
"Cousin, why are you at The Festival Market?"
Selena understood why Sloane was shopping; after all, Jonah Hawthorne was a workaholic now, so who else but Sloane would take care of these things?
But Silas... the head of The Empire, appearing at The Festival Market?
The place seemed totally unrelated to Silas.
It made sense for Sterling—Selena had dragged him here.
Silas’s mouth twitched slightly, "The holiday is coming, I’m... out for a casual inspection."
Upon hearing Silas’s explanation, Selena nodded.
"Alright then."
She wasn’t sure what the head of The Empire had to do.
But such public inspections were probably common, so she didn’t suspect anything.
Seeing Sloane, Selena felt a bit annoyed with Sterling, who always just said ’buy’ at her side.
She glanced around and saw that a café outside had tables.
"AJ, why don’t you and Cousin wait for me outside the café? Sloane and I will go shopping."
Upon hearing Selena’s words, Sloane’s eyes lit up.
She had long wanted to shake off Silas, but unfortunately, he was like clingy gum.
Plus, she was now a public figure, out in disguise, so she couldn’t cause a big scene.
That’s why Silas had been able to stick by her side.
Just as Sloane was about to agree, she noticed Sterling’s face darken.
"You want to go shopping with her alone? And leave me with this lifelong single guy?"
He spoke with displeasure.
When he mentioned this, Silas also wore a dark expression, "Who are you calling a lifelong single guy?"
Can’t you speak properly! Can’t you speak properly! Can’t you speak properly!
Selena couldn’t help but find his words amusing, "Why do you put it so harshly? It’s not like I’m dumping you."
"Anyway, isn’t waiting for me less of a hassle than shopping with me?"
Besides, with Silas keeping him company, Selena wouldn’t have to worry about Sterling getting bored.
But Sterling didn’t see it that way.
His temper flared up again.
Just as one Vivian Sutton was leaving, why did Sloane have to show up?!
He had come to the conclusion that women were the ones he should be cautious of!
They approached Selena more easily and could quickly become her friends.
"It’s not a hassle; I want to be with you."
Sterling said through gritted teeth.
Suspiciously, Selena glanced at him.
Then she simply ignored Sterling’s objections, pushing him towards the café.
"Hurry up?"
Seeing Selena and Sterling heading off, Sloane followed their steps.
"..."
Silas didn’t want to be left alone with Sterling either.
Being with him meant Sterling might vent any anger from Selena onto him.
And knowing Sterling’s personality, he’d surely mock and tease him relentlessly.
Silas definitely didn’t want to end up fighting Sterling over such matters.
