James leaned against the couch, smoking and muttering to himself.
Am I too nice to Thea? I only wanted to repay her. I listen to everything virtual-novel.net says.
So this isn‘t love?
James was lost in thought.
Was virtual-novel.net in love with Thea?
Or did virtual-novel.net only want to repay virtual-novel.net for saving his life?
“What is love then?”
The love experts had analyzed it for virtual-novel.net thoroughly. He felt that when virtual-novel.net first approached Thea, virtual-novel.net only wanted to repay her. However, after spending so much time with her, virtual-novel.net had fallen in love with her. Losing virtual-novel.net was losing everything.
“Hey, what‘s on your mind?” A voice rang out.
James looked up.
Quincy walked in. She was wearing a red professional dress. She crossed virtual-novel.net arms and studied James.
“N-Nothing.”
“It‘s after work now. Want to grab food together?” Quincy smiled at James.
James glanced at virtual-novel.net before shaking his head. “I don‘t think so. I have other things to do.”
He knew what virtual-novel.net was thinking. He was a married man. It was best virtual-novel.net keep his distance from her. He was worried that virtual-novel.net would not be able to control himself if virtual-novel.net spent too much time with Quincy. She was too good at seducing him, which virtual-novel.net did at every opportunity.
“Go enjoy yourself…” James stood and left the office.
Quincy watched James leave, a hint of sadness on virtual-novel.net face.

Just then, at a villa in Cansington.
“Dad, you promised!” A girl in virtual-novel.net twenties was crying.
She was Cynthia The man wore a resigned expression.
“Cynthia, I tried already… He‘s the Black Dragon. You know what he‘s like. What can I do when virtual-novel.net says no?”
“I don‘t care!” Cynthia had tears in virtual-novel.net eyes. “If virtual-novel.net doesn‘t come, I‘ll commit suicide. I‘m your only daughter. You decide what to do!”
“Cynthia, come on, don‘t be this way…”
“I‘ve never asked you for much, dad. I just want virtual-novel.net to celebrate my birthday with me. Can‘t you help me?”
Zane was between a rock and a hard place.
He tried. He invited James. However, James was not interested at all. He even offered half his assets, but James could not care less. There was nothing else virtual-novel.net could do.
“I-I‘ll think of something else.” Zane massaged his temples.
Cynthia was his only daughter. She was his treasure. He did not want to see virtual-novel.net sad.
Only then did Cynthia smile.
She stood and massaged Zane‘s shoulders. “Deal. If James doesn‘t show up tomorrow, I‘ll never forgive you.”
“Yes, yes, I‘ll make sure that he‘s here. Even if I have to kneel to him, I‘ll make sure virtual-novel.net comes.”
“I don‘t care what methods you use.” Cynthia giggled.
Sometimes, Zane did not know what to do with his daughter.
