Chapter 452: Despicable Latecomer

While Su Lingxi was looking at Kevin, he was also looking at her.

Just as the media said, among a crowd of blondes and blue-eyed girls, Nicole's black hair and black eyes are indeed eye-catching and prominent. At first glance, she looks a bit like a Jew, but her sculpture-like, majestic and deep bone structure neutralizes the beauty and sharpness of her facial features, making this face present a divine beauty that transcends gender boundaries.

And he didn't know since when, such a face began to appear frequently in his mind.

Maybe it was because of the faint charm that flashed across that cold face at the negotiating table, maybe it was because of her unique intelligence and toughness, or maybe it was because of that playful expression.

She often shows a lively and mysterious look, which makes people want to find out the reason why the corners of her mouth are slightly raised, but they don't know how.

So, even though he knew that she was a very deceitful woman and that he obviously didn't like women who were too strong, he couldn't help but follow her with his eyes.

The moment Kevin realized his feelings, he began to back off.

He had never dated a girlfriend of this type, and he didn't want to compete with Joey for a woman.

With such a secret thought in mind, he did not attend any celebration parties, nor did he send a message to congratulate her on the award - he took strict isolation measures on himself.

Kevin thought he could quickly let go of these insignificant feelings, but he didn't expect that Nicole's impact on him would be more exaggerated than he imagined.

At first, he didn't think much of it, but a few days after the Oscars, Kevin felt more and more uncomfortable.

He began to regret why he chose to be a deserter, why he did not accompany her at the most important moment of her life and say congratulations to her.

He clearly knew better than anyone how difficult it was for her to get this little golden man.

But he ran away like a coward.

Would there be many people with her that night? Would anyone congratulate her? What would Joey say to her? Would she... accept his feelings?

These questions had been bothering him for the past few months. He would think of them while processing documents, during breaks in meetings, and even before going to bed.

He began to frequently check the chat history on iMessage, often recalling her sly and clever smile when she was negotiating with him.

Just like this moment.

——Her smile was directed towards him, and her beautiful eyes were filled with his image.

Her gaze finally belonged to him completely and would no longer be given to anyone else.

Kevin curled his lips to hide the throbbing of his heart and stood in front of her.

"Congratulations, this place is beautifully decorated."

It sounded like he was congratulating her on the opening of her club, but only he knew what he was congratulating her for.

"I thought you wouldn't come." Su Lingxi's smile faded a little. "Joey was complaining a few days ago that you were so busy that he couldn't even see you."

Kevin frowned calmly, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes.

It's Joey again.

It seemed like every conversation they had couldn't avoid this name.

But why?

Why should he have to give in to him in everything and consider his thoughts all the time?

Some unbearable and despicable emotions in the body are gradually coming out, and the harmonious appearance that I have been trying hard to maintain is beginning to break down.

Just because he is a latecomer, does he have to be inferior to others?

But obviously, he was the better choice for her.

Kevin smiled gently and said, "I was a little busy recently. Now that I'm done with my work, I came over to show my support for you guys."

"There are very few fitness clubs of this type in Los Angeles. I think it won't be long before you can earn back your investment."

He still looked polite, almost the same as when Su Lingxi first met him.

The only difference might be that his smile looked much more genuine than it had been a few years ago - no longer a fake smile that just appeared on the surface.

Su Lingxi looked at him, and her original idea of ​​having a good talk with him suddenly wavered.

Is it possible for such a person to develop feelings for her?

It may not be a wise move to make everything clear at this time.

Kevin represents a huge capital force, and she cannot afford to offend him at the moment.

Su Lingxi took a deep breath, suppressed her chaotic emotions, and smiled at him, "I hope so. If everything goes well, maybe we will consider opening another branch in New York."

"That's a good idea." Kevin nodded thoughtfully and raised his glass to her with a smile. "Then consider it as an advance wish for your victory. Cheers——"

"Thank you." Su Lingxi nodded slightly and clinked glasses with him.

Esther blinked and looked back and forth between the two people who were talking happily. After a while, she realized something and took two small steps back to leave enough space for the two of them.

If this man wasn't really handsome enough, she wouldn't give up her seat to him so easily.

Esther raised the corner of her mouth proudly and thought to herself: There were so many handsome guys walking around in front of Nicole just now, and a tall and thin waiter almost poured the wine on her, but not one of them could make Nicole stop and say a word to them.

Unlike this man in front of her, who was Nicole's former rumored boyfriend and could make her look completely different from before...

Esther vaguely felt that she seemed to have discovered some incredible secret.

"Who do you think is more suitable to be given the adaptation rights for the project 'The Enlightened'?" Su Lingxi stood with her back to Esther LeBlanc. No one knew what she was imagining. She was discussing official business with Kevin in a polite manner. "I've read the latest version of the script submitted by Maggie. It's much better than the original one. Unfortunately, her qualifications are too shallow. Tracy has always been against giving her the adaptation rights."

"I remember Joey mentioned that Maggie's life in Paris was not going well." Kevin said casually, "But her school experience was very good. I guess she must have some talent."

He deliberately mentioned Joey and pointed out Maggie's resume background, which was both a provocation and a test.

As a woman, Nicole is so strict with herself, so she will be even stricter when choosing men.

She would not like this kind of behavior of using public power for personal gain, even if it was to please her.

However, her reaction was much calmer than he expected.

"Maggie's talent shouldn't be buried because of her race, and I'm glad Joey and I were able to come to a consensus on that."

She was still smiling, her tone slightly raised, and her expression did not show any unhappiness.

Looking at her expression, Kevin suddenly felt a little aggrieved.
