A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust

The door swung open.

Dante was visibly surprised when he saw Lisette standing at the door.

"What are you doing here?"

His brow furrowed, his voice tinged with irritation.

"Mr. Lopez, I'm here to discuss a potential collaboration. Aren't you going to invite me in? It's quite chilly out here, and I bet it's warm inside," Lisette said, already attempting to push her way into the room.noveldrama

She gave a sly smile, adjusted her spaghetti strap top, and licked her lips in what she must have thought was a seductive manner.

"Are you insane? Dressed like that and barging into someone's place?" Dante's voice was as cold as ice, and he made no move to step aside.

"Mr. Lopez, don't you ever get lonely?" she cooed. "Calliope's married. She won't betray Silas for you, and you know who Silas is, right? But me, I'm single. Whatever Calliope did for you, I can too!"

"Mr. Lopez, if you agree to partner with us, I'll offer my body to you. Mr. Lopez. Aren't you tempted?"

Lisette leaned closer, blowing a playful breath toward Dante's neck.

Dante wiped his neck with one hand, looking at Lisette with utter disdain. "What's wrong with you? That's disgusting."

Lisette was momentarily stunned.

"Wait. Can you repeat what you just said?" Dante asked, sliding his hand into his pocket, his eyes fixed on her.

Lisette grinned, confident in her allure. She knew no man could turn away a woman, especially one who wasn't hard on the eyes.

She repeated her offer, word for word.

"So, you're saying you'll sell your body to me if I agree to work with your

company? You'd sleep with me and let me do as I please?"

Dante's eyes narrowed.

"Yes, however you want, I'll be game," Lisette purred, licking her lips and crinkling

her nose. "I can play to your preferences!"

Dante suddenly laughed.

"Mr. Lopez, aren't you going to let me in?"

"Aren't you eager?" she prodded.

"Lisette, are you a call girl?"

"Don't be so harsh. I prefer to think of it as being adaptable," Lisette chuckled. "We're adults. It's just a bit of fun, right? No harm done. I make you happy, and I get what I want!"

"Don't you think you're

overestimating yourself?" Dante

crossed his arms, leaning against the door frame. "Do you think fm so desperate to go for someone like you?"

"What?" Lisette detected a shift and a lack of interest.

Dante clearly wasn't swayed by her charms!

"Sorry, but someone like you... if you're hitting on me, you've probably tried it on others, maybe a dozen. That's too filthy for my taste

"So, get out!" Dante's voice was a command, dripping with contempt. "What did you say?" Lisette was incredulous. "You! Who are you to judge me?"

"I'm quite particular about my company." Dante pulled out his phone and made a quick call.

Minutes later, security arrived and unceremoniously removed Lisette. She stood seething behind a pillar, her face burning with disbelief and anger.

"That damn Dante!"

She kicked the pillar in frustration, only to regret it as pain shot through her foot.

As she hopped around, she spotted Calliope approaching and instinctively ducked behind the pillar, hoping to stay out of sight.
