Mr. Billionaire Boundless Love

“Really? I doubt you’d be that considerate to others.”

“Yes, I am. Do you think I am only ever kind to you? I would like to invest in this company, and I would like it to succeed.”

“Good.” Selene beamed. “You deserve lunch, and I will pay for it. Thank you! But I still want to know when you will give them the final assessment report. Austin is worried sick about it.”

“I thought that you’re hard and emotionless. I was wrong. It seems that you know how to care about others.” Clint said sarcastically.

Selene ignored him, stood up, and turned to leave the restaurant. “Austin is my friend, and we’re close like family. I care about him.”

When she walked to the door of the restaurant, Clint suddenly caught up with her and wrapped his arm around her from behind.

“What are you doing?” Selene shouted.

“What about me? Am I only your friend or something more?”

He turned her around. His hot breath blew into her face, and she suddenly shuddered and looked away. “Are you crazy?” She asked coldly, attempting to hide her real emotion.

Before she could say anything else, Clint pressed his lips against hers.

Selene wanted to escape his kiss. She tried to pull away, but Clint leaned into her.

Clint gently grabbed her chin and kissed her passionately. He couldn’t resist the strong desire he had for her.

Though they had kissed many times before, Selene had never been kissed like this, and it felt crazy and offensive.

Selene wanted to push him away but felt unable to do it.

Finally, when they were out of breath, Clint moved his mouth away from her lips. He touched her red lips with his slender finger. “Don’t push me away. I always wanted to be with you; however, you keep telling me that our marriage was just a mistake. It causes me so many sleepless nights, and letting you go has been so hard for me.”

She said nothing; her mind went blank, and then she left quickly.

Selene’s journey back to her apartment was a blur. When she arrived, she still felt dizzy from her encounter with Clint, and it took her quite a long time to find her keys in her bag.

Finally, she managed to unlock her door and went in, dropping herself on the couch. She closed her eyes, and her mind went blank for a long time before she finally came back to reality.

What am I doing? I was supposed to stay away from Clint. But now I am totally lost because of that kiss. Selene thought.

Selene had known that she still had feelings for Clint Denovan. She was just like all the other girls- head over heels for handsome and rich men.

But love was too feeble and distant from a concept for her. She could hardly allow herself to have confidence in it. She thought she could forget about her feelings of love just like she would forget her beloved songs and films.

But obviously, Clint was much more than that. She felt at a loss.

Selene softly put her hand on her forehead and gave in to those thoughts, her mind going blank again.

Suddenly, her phone rang, and she quickly recovered herself. She looked at the screen and saw that it was Clint that was calling.

She hesitated to answer it, but the phone kept ringing.

Finally, she picked up the phone and pressed ‘answer.’

“Are you okay? You haven’t been answering my calls.” Clint asked in a hurried tone.

“I was taking a bath,” Selene said quietly.

“Taking a bath?” Clint dragged his tone quizzically.

Selene noticed the slight awkwardness in his tone. “What’s wrong?” She asked.

“You practically ran home. I just want to make sure you’re okay.”

“You’re overthinking it. It’s not like we haven’t kissed before.”

“Okay. Good.”This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

“Anything else?

“Yes. There’ll be a fashion show for JU Brand. Have you heard about it?”

Selene knew about JU Brand. It was internationally famous, and she loved their style very much. But she had never seen the show before.

“Yes. I’ve read about it on the internet.”

“The brand is looking for new designers to work with. Are you interested?”

“I see myself more like a craftswoman than a designer. I’m not sure if I would be right for them.”

“You’re great at selling yourself short. You stick close to conventional styles while injecting some of your uniqueness into your work. JU Brand approaches clothes designing in a similar way, so I think you should give them a go.” Clint said.

Clint paused for a second, and Selene could hear some shuffling from the other end of the line.

“Also,” Clint continued. “I’ve managed to get some tickets for the fashion show. Would you like to go with me?”

Selene kept silent.

“Last time, I invited you to the New York Fashion Show, but you didn’t come. It would be a pity if you’d miss this one too.”

“Okay. I’ll go.”

Selene knew Clint’s intention. She knew of Clint’s feelings for her, but she also felt his hesitation towards their relationship.

She wondered what the reason was for his hesitation- maybe he did not love her as much as he made her believe.

As for Selene, she would only reciprocate what she would get from Clint. She would only love his heart and soul if he would also do that to her.

But the forceful kiss from Clint gave her second thoughts about their relationship. If Clint invited her, she would accept. But she would set up some barriers for any real emotions. What she has observed from her father, Harry, told her that not giving oneself in completely to emotions was necessary sometimes.

The JU Brand Fashion Show began the following Saturday evening. Clint went to Selene’s store a few hours prior to the event to pick her up.

When they arrived at the show and sat down in their seats, they saw Jennifer Keller in the row in front of them and to their left.
