Chapter 18 They Seem Quite Close

“What nonsense are you spouting?” Emilia glared at Paige. “How could a country bumpkin like Minerva possibly know such a handsome man? He just happened to be walking behind her.”
She hadn’t even considered the possibility that the man could be a malia boss. To the uninformed, the stereotypical mafia boss was a man in his fifties, slightly overweight, and had an insidious demeanor.
They absolutely wouldn’t believe that a mafia boss could be this handsome.
At that moment, the shop manager expressed his regret. “I’m truly sorry, but the last cake has already been purchased by those two ladies. We are sold out for today. You can come earlier tomorrow to buy one
The last cake was purchased by Emilia.
The mention of her caused Emilia’s heart to flutter wildly. She quickly stepped forward, her eyes full of excitement and shyness as she looked at Zevan. “Sir, are you.. are you looking to buy a cake? I can let you have this one, but…you’ll have to give me your number.”
Emilia had already fallen for this man, so she didn’t hesitate in making the first move.
She cautiously glanced at the man’s skin, noticing the absence of any tattoos. This suggested that there was a high likelihood that the man was not part of the mafia.
She was quite the catch, young and beautiful. There were numerous boys who pursued her, yet strangely enough, she felt incredibly nervous when she took the initiative to strike up a conversation with this particular man.
In the midst of Emilia’s hopeful anticipation, Zevan gave her a bewildered glance, as if he was looking at a madwoman.
He simply produced his black card, handing it to the shop manager. “In that case, could you kindly have your pastry chef work overtime to make one for me?”
The shop manager instantly spotted Zevan’s black card which was embossed with the word Lemieur in golden font.
In Hepham, the name Lemieux was known by all. It was the family name of the current mafia boss.
The shop manager guessed the identity of the man standing before him right away. He is someone close to the mafia boss!
He broke out in a cold sweat upon the realization. The relative of the mafia boss of Hepham had unexpectedly graced his humble cake shop. Rumor had it that they usually had servants to handle such errands
It seems that the rumors aren’t entirely accurate. Even the family members of the mafia would go shopping, just like any ordinary person
“Sir… sir, please wait a moment. I’ll have the pastry chef specially bake one for you.”
With that, the shop manager dashed into the kitchen.
Emilia and Paige were baffled.
Why would the shop manager bake a cake just for this mant All of us had to queue to get one.
They realized that this man was no ordinary individual, and his social status was definitely higher than theirs.
Emilia didn’t want to miss out on this attractive and important man. She subtly adjusted her slip dress, intentionally revealing ler enticing cleavage.
“Oh dear, sir, I’m feeling dizzy” Emilia pretended to swoon, allowing herself to fall into the arms of Zevan.
“Could you help me.
She closed her eyes in anticipation, hoping to fall into the man’s embrace.
However, in the next moment, she found herself leaning directly against Minerva.

Chapter 18 They Seem Quite Close
“Emilia, are you planning to collapsed into the arms of this handsome gentleman?”
Emilia straightened up, shooting a furious glare at Minerva. I can’t stand Minerva.
How dare she get in my way in my pursuit of true love. What a clueless bich!
She angrily shoved Minerva aside, shouting. “Get out of the way. You’re blocking me from my Mr. Right!”
However, Zevan acted swiftly, swiftly steadying Minerva by the waist to prevent her from falling-

“What are you doing? Do you have a death wish?” Zevan had no intention of showing any women his chivalric side, let alone Emilia, whom he had investigated. She hadn’t spared any effort in tormenting his newlywed wife.
Emilia and Paige were taken aback. Minerva and this man seems to be quite close!
“Minerva, what’s your relationship with him?” Emilia asked swiftly.
Minerva curved her lips into a smile. “What do you think? Who could be the man who’s always by my side?”
Once she finished speaking, she cast a mischievous glance toward Zevan, who wore a look of confusion.
Zevan immediately understood what she wanted to do. He smiled at her indulgently, choosing not to say anything more.
