Bab 171: STUCK UNDER HER GAZE

STUCK UNDER HER GAZE

Lily approached Jack softly. Her steps were graceful as if she were walking on air, and her presence seemed to cast a gentle spell over the surroundings. Jack was watching her, unable to take his eyes off her as she drew nearer. The sides of her black gown were tossed from side to side by the wind.

It was as if time had slowed down, leaving the two of them suspended in a moment of anticipation. His friends, who had been engaged in lively conversation, gradually faded into the background, their voices becoming distant murmurs. Jack's world narrowed, and his focus became singular, fixed solely on Lily.

He couldn't believe it. Jack Haden, a multi-millionaire, and the CEO of Haden Architectural Corporation, one of the biggest architectural companies in the world, was a man of power and control. Yet in this very moment, as Lily approached, he felt vulnerable and exposed in a way he had never experienced before.
