“You still attract the ladies like no other!”

Rhys retrieved his glass and flashed a smile.

“What kept you?”

“Eugenia had me handle a few things,” Anika replied as she leaned close to Rhys, her gaze flirtatious.

“Did you miss me?”

Rhys offered only a faint smile in response, remaining silent.

The more Rhys behaved this way, the more Anika found herself drawn to him.

He was like a wild stallion roaming the prairie—untamed, fierce, and beyond the reach of an ordinary person. Yet, Anika had always been drawn to things that seemed just out of her grasp.

Anika had become used to Rhys’s indifferent behavior, even confusing it for love, especially since his treatment of Eugenia was cold to an extreme.

“I knew you missed me,” Anika teased, lifting his chin with a playful smile.

“You’re not upset that I pulled you to Gruinia right after we got back, are you?”

As Anika spoke, she leaned closer to him, her movements a blend of playful allure and possessive assertion. This was because she had spotted Harlee entering the venue.

Anika didn’t mind the women who had screamed for Rhys’s attention, but Harlee was different.

From the moment they first met, Anika sensed she was up against a strong opponent for an unknown reason. Though she had noticed that Rhys’s look toward Harlee was devoid of love, carrying only a hint of regret, the unease lingered.

As Anika spoke, Rhys caught sight of Harlee but consciously averted his gaze, continuing to look at Anika with mock affection.

“No, not at all.”

By then, Harlee had made her way inside, approaching where Rhys and Anika were sitting.

Seeing Harlee so close, Anika had a sinking feeling and fixed her eyes on Harlee.

Harlee was, after all, the woman Rhys had cared for three years ago.

Even though she was Rhys’s current girlfriend, Anika couldn’t suppress a surge of jealousy and anxiety.

Harlee was truly breathtaking.

Harlee’s complexion was naturally delicate and smooth, and her features remained striking even without any makeup.

Still, Anika found comfort in the fact that Harlee’s beauty was useless, since Rhys was with her now.

“What a coincidence,” Rhys said, unable to ignore Harlee.

“Indeed, quite the coincidence,” Harlee responded, smiling as she noted Anika’s cold stare.

“Are you and your new girlfriend here just to soak in the atmosphere?” Harlee asked, her eyes drifting to Anika, who was closely attached to Rhys.

“Do you mind if I join?”

Harlee had arrived early for her meeting with Margo to pass some time. She hadn’t anticipated actually encountering Anika.

Yes, Harlee’s visit was actually motivated by Anika, as her research had revealed that Margo harbored a deep grudge against Anika, and she aimed to leverage this enmity to glean valuable insights.
