It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 11

” What is going on? Malcolm asked in a cold voice, glancing at Mina who was still holding Lucia’s arm tightly.

With Malcolm’s sudden presence, Mina finally let go of Lucia. She immediately recognized the man in front of her, even though she had only seen him once before tonight. He was the one who helped Lucia that day. However, he seemed completely different today. He didn’t seem as lazy as before. Unexpectedly, he looked so intimidating and even gave off a suffocating aura. Mina couldn’t help but tremble in his presence.

“Gomez Properties, right?” Malcolm asked after glancing at Mina. A frown of disgust appeared on his face at that moment.

Then he turned his head to look at Moore Song, the stocky man next to him. He glared at Moore and returned his gaze to Mina. In an instant, Moore’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. The look on Malcolm’s face showed that he was unhappy with Gomez Properties. However, Moore didn’t know why. If this had been known earlier, he would not have dared to send an invitation to Gomez Properties from the beginning.

A few feet away, Bob was watching everything that was happening and let out a heavy sigh. “It’s been a long time since the CEO got angry and treated someone so cruelly. I don’t understand why an idiot would want to get into trouble. »

At the same time, Jonah was looking for Mina. He suddenly noticed the slight commotion a few meters away. He looked at Lucia who was standing there with a blank expression. He is dazzled because she looked so beautiful tonight. But now was not the right time to admire her beauty. Losing face at the Evans Group party was completely different from being embarrassed at a bar. If things get worse tonight, it would have a negative impact on Gomez Properties.

“I’m sorry, sir. My partner was a little too aggressive. Please forgive her. Such a thing will not happen again,” Jonah immediately apologized with a slight bow. He understood that Malcolm was not someone to joke with. Mina was too stupid to see that this man was powerful, but Jonah was not. He had read the expressions of the senior executives of the Evans Group just now. Everyone looked at Malcolm with admiration and respect. It was enough for him to realize that Malcolm was definitely not an ordinary person.

Now that almost all the guests’ attention was on them, Jonah felt it was only wise to apologize. But Mina still doesn’t understand.

“Not everyone can get an invitation to the Evans Group party. A slut like her who seduces men must have stolen someone’s invitation and sneaked into this place. She’s not supposed to be here! Mina said arrogantly. She was so stupid to not have a clue what was going on.

Moore was sweatier than before. “I should pray to God in hopes that the CEO won’t punish me later. » Thinking about how this incident would affect his work, he stared at Mina with pure hatred in his eyes. Clenching his fists in anger, he decided to blacklist Gomez Properties and not invite him for anything in the future. “Maybe the company will go bankrupt soon. »

“Bitch? Eh? “, Malcolm chuckled and his beautiful dimples appeared. –

Enoch noticed the commotion from afar as he danced with his date. He left her to go to the scene. He was surprised to see his brother there, however, he managed to hide his surprise very well. He had a neutral expression on his face, although his mind was confused.

” Oh my God! Why is Malcolm here? Is the woman standing here…” –

Many guesses flooded his head and Enoch was curious to know the identity of this woman. Despite his curiosity, he could see that the problem was escalating. First we had to replace a solution to the current problem. If he ever failed, Malcolm would reprimand him. As his brother smiled, Enoch knew he was very angry. He would like this vociferous woman to shut up.

With a horrible headache, Enoch managed to push through the crowd and walk toward the center.

“Miss Gomez, who do you think you are? Who gave you the right to tell the Evans Group who to invite? asked Enoch in a scolding tone. He had no intention of being nice to Mina.

Malcolm looked at Enoch with a different look. He wrapped his arm around Lucia’s waist and stepped aside.

Enoch swallowed at the look on his brother’s face. This expression was not new to him. He was aware that his brother meant that he was dead if his solution was not satisfactory. As much as he wanted to please Malcolm, he didn’t know what solution would satisfy him. “Why do I have to take responsibility for someone else’s stupidity? I don’t even know what happened. » As confusion settled in Enoch’s mind, he cursed inwardly. His curses were for this troublemaker, his brother and the person who gave Mina an invitation.

“Mr. Evans, I’m so sorry.” Please forgive my partner. Mina, apologize right away! Jonah ordered, tugging on Mina’s dress.

The stubbornness in Mina’s eyes seemed to have lessened. Despite her stupidity, she knew it was unwise to continue to be unrepentant in this situation. Since the host of the party had come to scold her, there was a good chance that she would be humiliated in front of all these people if she remained stubborn. Still, her pride was too great for her to swallow. So she refused to apologize in front of everyone.

“It seems that some of the party guests are poorly behaved. What a pity! » Malcolm’s voice was as cold as the devil’s.

A cold shiver ran down Enoch’s spine. Moore was also trembling with fear. A cold sweat ran from his forehead to his cheeks despite the air conditioning in the room. “What a bad evening! The CEO had never been to such a party, but he came tonight. Worse still, things didn’t go as usual. His wife was bothered by someone else. It’s obvious he doesn’t want to let the troublemaker go easily. Can this night get any worse than this? »

“Hey, aren’t you just an employee of the Evans Group?” How dare you open your mouth and speak? You are not qualified to speak on this subject! “, Mina retorted angrily.

His pride was unmatched. His father was the CEO of Gomez Properties. Although not as big as the Evans Group, it is one of the most famous companies in the country. As far as she knew, Malcolm was just an employee of the Evans Group. She thought he was probably just a manager. Therefore, she was furious that he had the courage to speak ill of her in the presence of these guests.

Jonah wanted to stop him from speaking, but it was already too late. Mina had already blurted out these words without thinking. He thought a fool could see in Malcolm’s behavior that he was no ordinary employee. He was surprised that Mina was so blind to see him. He feared that Gomez Properties would be doomed if the Evans Group decided to sue them for this incident.

” Oh that’s right? Malcolm asked in a calmer voice.

Lucia watched them quietly as they argued. As soon as Malcolm entered the room, the atmosphere became very tense. It was surprising that a simple quarrel attracted the attention of the deputy general manager and senior executives of the Evans Group. They had become cautious due to his presence in the room.

Enoch wanted to be knocked unconscious and sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. He wanted to be anywhere but here. The hospital was better than staying here while his brother’s gaze transfixed him. He was in a delicate situation. He wanted to tape Mina’s mouth shut and have the security guards throw her out of the lobby. What stopped him was his brother’s attitude. It looked like Malcolm wouldn’t like that.

“Tell me, who are you? What family are you from? If you’re a nobody, don’t argue with me here. Otherwise, I’ll…” Before Mina could finish speaking, Jonah covered her mouth with all his might.

“Do you want to leave this place? », whispered Malcolm in Lucia’s ear. He ignored Mina as if unaffected by her incessant screaming.

Lucia shook her head slightly. She didn’t want to walk away with him in front of the other guests. Tongues will be loosened and the rumor will spread tomorrow.

Suddenly, Mina released Jonah’s grip on her mouth and wanted to continue speaking, but what Malcolm said next shocked her. The atmosphere around them froze instantly. The entire room was silent and only soft music could be heard. Lucia also looked up at the man holding her, with astonishment in her eyes.

“I’m Malcolm Evans. Am I allowed to speak to you now? “, Malcolm said in a simple tone.

“Mr. Evans, please forgive my partner for her ignorance.” » A cold sweat broke out on Jonah’s forehead as he apologized with folded hands. ” Shit! Who would have thought that the mysterious CEO of the Evans Group would decide to attend such an occasion? Mina caused a big problem tonight! » Jonah was thinking of a way to properly apologize and end the argument.

” Oh no! » Enoch’s heart pounded against his chest. He felt he was doomed this time.

Malcolm had never exposed himself to the media before. But he attended the party for Lucia and revealed his identity just to silence Mina. Enoch blamed himself for putting Lucia in such a situation. Even if Malcolm didn’t send him abroad this time, he would surely punish him severely.

Moore was the director of the public relations department. He was sweating and his breathing was heavier than before. He failed to pass the screening and he invited the CEO’s wife’s enemy. The CEO had to help his wife by revealing her identity. Tilting his head down, he continued to wipe his forehead with a damp handkerchief.

Lucia’s colleagues were also stunned and opened their eyes wide as they watched the scene. None of them had any idea that Lucia knew the CEO of the Evans Group or that he was so young and handsome.

“Moore, since when can naughty people like them attend the Evans Group party? Malcolm asked angrily, staring at Moore, who still couldn’t stop wiping his forehead.

“Security, escort the Gomez Properties representatives out of the room now!” “, Moore immediately ordered the security agents to deal with the situation that was on the table.

Mina was still in a daze and Jonah didn’t know what to do. Before they could regain their composure, the security guards kicked them out. Calm returned to the banquet hall itself.

The crowd dispersed to different parts of the room. Enoch started dancing again with his date. The drama that had just occurred was quickly put aside. Although many people wanted to talk to Malcolm, they were smart enough to walk away after seeing his cold stare. None of them wanted to be thrown out like Mina and Jonah.

“You…” This revelation was not a good surprise for Lucia, on the contrary, she was too angry to say anything to him.

“Hey, wildcat. » Malcolm hugged her tighter. He didn’t want her to break away from him.

Lucia’s reaction to the revelation of her identity was beyond her expectations. Tonight’s incident was a little out of his control. He never intended to reveal his identity just for Lucia, but that didn’t matter to him. He was willing to do anything for her.

“Did it please you to deceive me, Mr. CEO?” » There was a noticeable trace of anger in his voice. Lucia felt like an idiot.

She now understood why he knew the address of her business. “What am I to him? Does he see me as his s****l partner? Or does he consider me unworthy to be his s****l partner? » She was extremely worried about what people would think from now on. She knew they would denigrate her accomplishments at DZ Media because she was close to Malcolm.

“Lucia…” Malcolm was about to say something, but he was interrupted.

” I’m sorry. I’m just an ordinary employee. I can’t afford to play your high society games. We both consented to what happened between us, so there’s no need to trade blame. I hope we don’t see each other again. Goodbye, Mr. Evans,” Lucia said resentfully. With all her strength, she freed her hand from Malcolm’s and quickly left the banquet hall.

Malcolm sighed and rubbed his temples in frustration. He was upset because things hadn’t gone the way he had planned. Now that Lucia was angry with him, he was trying to replace a solution.

“Malcolm, is this woman my future sister-in-law? » Enoch’s voice came from behind. Malcolm had no idea his brother was standing there.

“Tomorrow morning, you’re going on a business trip to the Middle East. You must not return until you get the contract,” Malcolm ordered, looking at Enoch coldly.

” What? »
