When Love Comes Late -
Chapter 627
Content, Stella toweled off her hands and left the restroom.
As she was about to climb the staircase, a man obstructed her way.
She sidestepped to the left, but he mirrored her.
She veered to the right, but he did likewise, effectively barring her path.
Annoyed, she lifted her eyes and found herself looking into a pair of impish eyes.
With a cigarette hanging from his mouth, the man raised an eyebrow and asked, “Are you alone, gorgeous? Want to be my date tonight?”
Stella’s expression was blank.
The man standing before her was Greg Holland, the son of Ezekiel.
Holland, a prominent jewelry businessman in Seamarsh.
Known for being a womanizer, Greg was notorious for his inebriated escapades and the ensuing publicity.
Reluctant to engage, Stella answered coldly, “I’m already with someone.
Please move aside.
”
Yet Greg wasn’t one to easily relent.
He had been forced to attend the banquet today, and it wasn’t often that he encountered such a beautiful woman.
How could he pass up the opportunity?
In Seamarsh, there wasn’t a woman he couldn’t win over.
Discarding his cigarette and crushing it beneath his foot, he smirked, “Do you know who I am? My dad is Ezekiel Holland, a celebrated jeweler in Seamarsh.
Become my date tonight, and any jewelry at this auction could be yours.
Sounds tempting, doesn’t it?”
Stella found herself speechless.
Avoiding Greg would prove challenging.

But she was at the event on behalf of Prosperity Group.
A public scandal could harm the company.
After a brief contemplation, Stella proposed, “It’s a bit crowded here.
Would you like to step outside for a conversation?”
Sensing an opening, Greg accepted eagerly.
“How could I say no to a stunning woman like you? Lead on.
”
They relocated to a more private corridor.
Once there, Stella kept a safe distance and inquired, “Am I permitted to ask for anything?”
“Of course.
” Greg’s eyebrows lifted, his purpose obvious.
