"What's it like to fall in love?" Edward's slender fingers flipped his wine glass rhythmically. He slouched back in his chair and squinted at them with a faint smile.
"Are you serious? Who are you in love with, boss?" Rain was so shocked that he lost his grip on his glass and spilled some cognac, staining his shirt. He wiped it off and stared in disbelief at Edward.
Duke didn't overreact, although he was also shocked by Edward's words. His cold eyes glistened and his mind started turning gears.
"Who can I fall in love with? I'm just curious about it." Edward apparently knew how stunned they were upon hearing his words. He could easily tell from their reaction. And he wanted to keep things light, and maybe not delved too deeply, but the topic was so astonishing that no one would let him go that easily.
"Edward, Just say it. Who are you in love with? Tell us and we can give you some suggestions." Rain was always so interested in that kind of gossip. He would not give up until he got an answer.
"Look at the women around me. What kind of woman do you think I'd fall in love with?" Edward would never let them know his heart, before he knew exactly what kind of feeling it really was. It was impossible for him to expose his feelings to them, even they were his best friend, at least not now.
"Now that you ask this question, I'm sure that you have someone in mind. But I don't know if she's the same one I'm thinking of." Duke said casually and cast a glance at him.
"Well then. It seems that Mr. Duke knows me so well that you even know wh ou are the first woman who dared to hit me. You'd better give me a good excuse, or else!" She felt his hot breath and shivered. She was Belinda Shangguan. How dare this evil man threaten her?
"I just hit you, Lothario, so what?" And moreover, where was Edward? He was just here. She saw him. How could he disappear as soon as she got here? Did he have an invisibility cloak? Haha! He didn't have an invisibility cloak but he had a flying car, so Belinda could not find him.
"What? I'm Lothario? If I remember correctly, you are the one who fell into my arms." Duke looked at the woman in front of him furiously and fought the urge to kill her. Why didn't she look at herself in the mirror? What made her so confident?
"Even if I ran into you, you shouldn't have assaulted me." Belinda wore heavy makeup, a large shirt and a pair of old fashioned black frame glasses. Any good looks she might have had were covered thoroughly. She was as attractive as a middle-aged woman -- which is to say not at all. No wonder Duke would be so angry.
