To the Love of My Life

Chapter 222: 222: Mysterious Female Lead (16)

Steve Burton’s expression was slightly indifferent as he walked to the wooden chair in the pavilion and sat down. He looked at Charlotte Madris for a moment before saying, “Ms. Madris.”

Charlotte Madris hadn’t expected Steve Burton to know her last name, and a hint of joy appeared in her eyes. She smiled with curved lips but didn’t speak. Steve Burton sat casually, and his natural elegance gave off a leisurely and unrestrained aura.

Just as Charlotte Madris was hesitating whether she should make conversation with Steve Burton or leave, he briefly looked up at her, the corners of his mouth curving slightly, “Ms. Madris, your high heels are so tall. Aren’t you tired? Sit down and take a break.”

As he spoke, Steve Burton pointed to the seat beside him.

Charlotte Madris could never have dreamed that Rusell Henris of Pristine’s Enterprises would take the initiative to invite her for a walk. That was already quite unbelievable, but she didn’t expect to run into the legendary Steve Burton, who would actually talk to her voluntarily. She felt unbelievably lucky tonight.

Charlotte Madris looked at Steve Burton in surprise, trying hard to conceal the joy that showed in her eyes. She blushed and sat down beside him.

Under the dim outdoor lights, the handsome man’s features looked even more lethal.

When a woman encounters an outstanding man, she might feel a touch of infatuation. Charlotte Madris was no exception; she didn’t think twice before speaking in a soft and gentle voice that seemed to drip with honey: “Mr.

Burton, what brought you out here?”

As she asked this question, she worried whether she was being too forward from the depths of her heart. However, Steve Burton’s face didn’t show the slightest hint of irritation. Instead, he smiled slightly and said, “Just to clear my mind.”

After a pause, he asked, “And what about Ms. Madris?”

Steve Burton deliberately made his magnetic voice slow and low. The way the words “Ms. Madris” came out of his mouth had an indescribable charm to them.

Charlotte’s expression became even more refined and gentle. She looked at Steve Burton and said, “Mr. Henris said he had something to talk to me about and asked me to come out, but now he’s nowhere to be found.”

At this point, a troubled expression appeared on her face.

Steve Burton knew full well that Rusell Henris would not return, but he pretended he knew nothing and said to Charlotte Madris, “Being too beautiful can always cause some trouble for a woman.”

Did Steve Burton just indirectly compliment her beauty?

Charlotte Madris felt so excited that her heart seemed ready to leap out of her throat. It was as if countless ants were crawling through her mind. She tilted her head and, with an innocent romantic expression, asked, “Mr.. Burton, are you making fun of me?”
