My Only Love: The Targeted Heiress - Chapter 27

No one knew how long the two of them just stood behind the railing at the end of the balcony. Cathy’s petite figure began to shiver, and cold white smoke came out of her mouth breath.

Realizing that the girl beside him was cold, Vincent took off his coat and walked behind Cathy to put his oversize coat on her.

“No need. I’m fine.” Cathy realized that from the beginning, that man had accompanied her standing there. He was a stranger to make her turn down man’s gesture.

“Wear it. I don’t want your boss to scold me for freezing his secretary to death.”

“I won’t freeze to death.” Cathy still persistent in refusing the coat.

What a troublesome girl. Vincent grumbled to himself.

“If you don’t want to wear it, we better get back inside.”

“…”

Oh? So this girl would rather be here than come back inside? Vincent found the girl in front of her very mysterious.

After making sure that the girl was no longer protesting and wore the coat nicely, Vincent returned to his original position.

“So your name is Catherine? I heard Benjamin call you by that name.”

“Yes. My name is Catherine. And you are Vincent?”

Vincent agreed with a smile.

“Have you known Mr. Benjamin for a long time? It seems Mr. Ben thinks you are special.”

“Special? I guess you’re the only one in this place who thinks like that.”

“Am I wrong?”

“Why don’t you ask him yourself? Anyway, I don’t want to see him regularly.”

“…” Why? Cathy wanted to ask that. Many people are eager to meet Benjamin Paxton. Why doesn’t this one want to meet her uncle?

“To be honest, this is the first time I’ve come to an event like this.” Cathy tried to change their topic and strike a conversation.

“Really? What a coincidence, this is also the first time for me.”

Cathy smiled at this answer.

“Could it be you came here to represent V collection?” without realizing it, Cathy’s heart was pounding as she asked him.

Meanwhile, Vincent raised an eyebrow, confused about why the girl mention V collection in their topic?

Ah, right. The girl thought he worked in the V collection gallery.

“No. I didn’t even know they invited V.”

“They invited him. His name is on the guest list,” explained Cathy while showing no expression of enthusiasm.

“Oh.” Vincent’s nonchalant tone dropped Cathy’s hopes very hard. “As I said earlier, I came here because of my friend’s request. V collection has absolutely nothing to do with it.”

I come as Vincentius Regnz. Of course, Vincent didn’t tell the girl about this. Not only this girl… even to other guests, but he will not reveal his true identity.

There may be some who recognized his face, but his identity won’t be exposed as long as he avoids them.

Vincent glanced back beside him. He saw the girl sighed in disappointment and lost in her thoughts.

“It seems you are interested in V. You asked the same thing at that time too.”

“Ah… I just wonder what V is like. I heard that all of his works could amaze anyone who sees them. His works could make someone’s heart feel warm and smile happily. Not a few people are looking forward to V’s next work. I would like to meet him in person.”

Usually, Vincent would feel delighted whenever hearing someone compliment his works. But this time, he was not happy to listen to the praise that came out of the girl’s mouth.

That compliment sounds strange in his ear, yet he couldn’t pin his finger on it.

What’s more… the longer he stared at the girl, the more he felt he had met her.

“Have we met before? I mean before we passed each other in front of the gallery. I feel like I’ve seen you before.”

Cathy smiled as she answered. “Maybe you’ve seen me in the gallery? I came to visit the gallery almost every day.”

“Every day?” Vincent frowned when he recalled his friend mentioned something.

‘She always comes here hoping to meet her idol, the legendary V.’

Could it be that Cathy was the person Frank was referring to at the time?

“Ah, you’re a big fan of the V that Frank told me about.”

Hearing this, Cathy smiled nervously. She felt she had to clear this misunderstanding one way or another.

“It’s not really right to call me a big fan. I just wished to meet V for once. That’s all.”

Vincent tried to connect some of the puzzles that were now appearing in his head. Once united and found the answer, Vincent smiled sarcastically and gave the girl a hard, hostile look.

“I don’t think you’re a fan of V,” he said very coldly. “You’re just using that excuse to get V to accept an offer to advertise the Star Risen hotel. Isn’t that right?”

For the first time in her memory, Cathy’s body froze, and she felt cold sweat pour out over her head. She had never felt this scared or cornered.

Not because of a statement accusing her of… no. That accusation was valid as it was, so she shouldn’t be afraid of being insulted or blamed. She could explain it patiently and clear this misunderstanding.

What made her feel goosebump all over was… that man’s eyes gawked at her as if they were trying to stab and enter her soul. The man’s icy voice causing her ears incapable of hearing it, not to mention that man’s aura was like saying, ‘Go away, don’t ever come near me again.’

Somehow she felt guilty for that man, and her feelings quickly took over her mind?

Is this how it feels when someone tried intimidating you?

It felt so uncomfortable and making her lungs felt tight. She wished she could reverse the time and not choose to follow this young man out of the hall room.
