Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 612:

Burnet’s expression revealed his shock, whereas Silver Fox remained composed. “Yes, I am a lesbian. So what?”

Burnet’s initial excitement was quickly extinguished, as if doused with icy water. No matter how remarkable this woman was, and regardless of how long he had admired her, she could never be his partner. How could he continue his pursuit now?

Silver Fox noticed his spirit wilting rapidly and a small, knowing smile curved her lips. It appeared he had indeed harbored ulterior motives from the start. Her declaration of being a lesbian had effectively neutralized any romantic interest he might have had.

Engulfed by profound disappointment, Burnet was oblivious to her slight, mocking grin. He had lost all interest in playful banter and simply closed his eyes, seeking solace in solitude.

Following her discreet chuckle, Silver Fox decided to strike up a conversation. “Mr. Hoffman, although our companies may not work together, you’re still welcome to attend the wedding banquet when our president and I marry.”

Burnet, visibly annoyed, lacked even the minimal effort to uphold a courteous facade and remained silent. Silver Fox smirked again, reflecting on his earlier pretense. His charm and eagerness had been mere tactics to hit on her. Now that he knew he couldn’t, his real disposition emerged. Jerk! She directed her silent scorn at him.

With a mischievous smile, she quipped, “Mr. Hoffman, what’s got you so down all of a sudden? Has something unpleasant happened?”

“Shut up!” Burnet snapped, his tone icy. Observing Burnet’s furious demeanor, Silver Fox felt a thrill of satisfaction. She decided not to push him further. After all, he was not one to be trifled with easily.

Their journey continued in silence. Silver Fox expertly maneuvered the plane towards the Crystal Hotel. Upon landing, she stole a glance at her companion.

Burnet maintained a composed, almost commanding posture, with his feet casually propped on the control panel. He had closed his eyes again, exuding an arctic chill.

To others, he might have seemed asleep, but Silver Fox knew better. He wasn’t sleeping; he was brooding.

With a playful smile, she began in a sultry tone, “Mr. Hoffman, we’ve arrived back at the Crystal Hotel. Your plane is—”

But before she could finish, Burnet cut her off detachedly. “Take care. See you.”

Silver Fox was instantly taken aback. She shot him a look of displeasure, itching to punch him right then and there. When his attempt at hitting on her had fallen flat, his behavior had turned far from gentlemanly. How irritating he was!

He wanted her gone, didn’t he? But she wasn’t about to leave. Instead, she inhaled deeply and flashed him a charming smile.

“Mr. Hoffman, what’s with the attitude? Are you upset because you found out your charm wouldn’t work on me when I told you I’m a lesbian?”

Silver Fox’s words hit their mark. Burnet felt a sharp pang in his chest, and his eyes snapped open. Gazing at Silver Fox, who was looking back at him with charm, he felt his heart skip a beat.

Despite knowing she preferred women, he found himself increasingly drawn to her, captivated by her in every aspect. No, he couldn’t let these feelings grow.

As the leader of the Hoffman family, tasked with continuing his lineage, he had to put a stop to this.noveldrama

With that thought, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes again in frustration, and then asked gruffly, “Is there anything else?”

“Yes,” Silver Fox replied with a mischievous grin. “I’m quite famished. Considering I’ve escorted you back here, won’t you offer me a meal?”

At the mention of food, Burnet’s eyes flew open once more, his stare lingering on her face.

Feeling a sudden rush of nerves under his intense gaze, Silver Fox stammered, “Why… why are you looking at me like that?”
