Are you referring to Aurora? She is indeed beautiful and charmingb./bb” /b

bAlthough /bMilo wasn’t a serious personb, /bbhe /bwouldn’t bjoke /babout ady. b“/bHowever, Aurora and I are bjust /bfriendsb./bb” /b

But he suddenly thought bof /bsomething and smiled againb: /bb“/bbOf /bcourseb, /bif Aurora needs a boyfriendb, /bbI’d /bbbe /bhappy bto /bvolunteer bmyself/b.”

bFerris’s /bbdeep /bbeyes /bfell into a moment bof /bsilence.

bAshley /bdidn’t notice and said with a smileb: /bb“/bYou two look well–matched.”

Ferris remained unmoved and turned to Ashleyb: /bb“/bAshley, blet’s /bgo upstairs first. We’d better not disturb Mr. Ellison and his girlfriendb./bb” /b

Milo was confusedb, /band noticing my unpleasant expressionb, /bhe didn’t say anything more and walked into the elevator with me.

Ashley took Ferris’s armb, /bher bvoice /bcoquettishb: /bb“/bFerrisb, /bshall we also-b” /b

Ferris extended his hand and blocked the elevator door just as it was about to closeb. /b

“Mr. Ellison, do you mind sharing an elevator with meb?/b”

bFerris’s /bvoice was ice–cold, but his bface /bshowed no expression.

Milo shrugged: “Of course notb./b”

I stood beside Milob, /bsilently looking away, avoiding eye contact with Ferris.

After Ferris entered, he stood next to me, and I moved closer to Milo.

When Ashley entered, she looked at Ferris, then nced at me, secretly clenching her fists.

The elevator slowly ascended.

The elevator was also terrifyingly quiet.

Just then, another group of people squeezed in. I instinctively moved sideways, trying to get closer to Milo to make room for them.

However, the next second-

My wrist was suddenly yanked hard by a strong force.

bI /bstumbled and crashed into a warm, solid chest.

“Sorryb…/b” I reflexively whispered.

But the next instant, a familiar scent that made my heart tremble surrounded me–ck amber mixed with cold tobo, with a hint of wild forest atmosphereb, /b

like a hunter in the depths of the forest at night, making my heart race.

That bwas /bbFerris’s /bscent.

I could bfeel /bthat the wolves within us both became restless almost simultaneously, as if summoned by some strong maic field, suddenly awakening from bsleep/bb, /broaring and wanting to be intimate with each other.

I didn’t look up, but I could feel his low, unsteady breathing almost brushing past my earb. /b

bHe /bwas too close, so close that my whole body tensed and my heart thundered.

I took several quick breaths, pushed him away, and stepped back a few bpaces /bto maintain distance from him.

I didn’t understand why Ferris had pulled me.

I decided not to delve deeper into it and not to allow myself any more baseless fantasies.

When we reached the top floor, everyone walked out of the elevator.

I didn’t even nce at the man beside me and followed Milo’s steps.

In the spacious banquet hall, all the seats were arranged, and I happened to sit next to Milo.

Ashley’s seat was adjacent to Ferris’s.

Ashley turned back to look at my position and saw me whispering with Milo, a sh of coldness in her eyes.

She deliberately asked: “Ferris, do you think Aurora and Mr. Ellison will be a thing?”
