CHAPTER 73: CHAPTER 73: I LIKE YOU

Damian Knight was certain Summer Monroe would not agree.

However, the next instant——

"Sure, I actually have something to say to you."

Damian Knight’s eyebrows immediately furrowed.

This girl... actually agreed? And she has something to say to Julian Kingston? It’s their first meeting, what could they possibly need to talk about?

Damian Knight couldn’t stand it, he directly took a step towards Summer Monroe and said, "Summer Monroe, we need to shoot tomorrow, don’t eat anything weird outside that might affect tomorrow’s shoot."

Just as Summer Monroe was about to speak, Julian Kingston spoke first, "Don’t worry, President Knight, I won’t take her to eat anything weird that could affect the shoot. We’ll eat healthy food, is that okay?"

Damian Knight’s face looked grim. He threw a "Whatever you want" at them before turning to leave.

Julian Kingston looked puzzled at Damian Knight’s back: "That guy..."

"Is something wrong?" Summer Monroe asked Julian Kingston, "Did you guys have plans?"

"Yeah, he said it’s rare for him to have time, so we should all get together. But actually, we have plenty of chances to meet, so it doesn’t matter."

"That’s good, shall we go then?"

"Let’s go! What do you want to eat?"

The two of them chatted back and forth as they got into the car. Inside the business vehicle, Damian Knight watched them leave, the veins in his arm bulging as he held the documents.

The assistant in the driver’s seat didn’t dare to breathe, the air pressure in the car was terrifyingly low.

Half an hour later, at the Italian restaurant.

Summer Monroe and Julian Kingston sat across from each other eating spaghetti.

Summer Monroe quickly finished her spaghetti and got straight to the point: "Mr. Kingston, actually I have something to tell you..."

Julian Kingston put down his fork and took over the conversation: "You don’t want people to know your identity abroad, do you?"

Summer Monroe was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I have reasons I can’t speak of, so please, when you see me in the future, pretend you don’t know me, don’t let today’s situation happen again."

Summer Monroe’s face was calm and cold, with a chill that kept people a thousand miles away.

Julian Kingston suddenly felt a tightness in his throat.

In fact, Julian Kingston was confident about everything, not just because of his privileged family background, but also due to his own outstanding abilities.

He was the best soldier during his time in the military, and now in business, he was a formidable figure.

The Kingston Family is one of The Four Great Families of Crestfall. With just a lift of his hand, countless people would come at his call.

But in front of Summer Monroe, he felt like an awkward young man with nothing to his name.

Julian Kingston forced a smile, "I understand. Don’t worry, I won’t let a third person know you are SAN. But... can I know you as Summer Monroe?"

Summer Monroe tilted her head, sensing something off about Julian Kingston, and instinctively asked, "What do you mean?"

Julian Kingston took a deep breath, as if summoning great courage to say: "Miss Monroe, I like you, I want to pursue you!"

Summer Monroe was suddenly dumbfounded.

"You..."

Julian Kingston’s rugged face turned red, and he clenched his fists, "I’m a straightforward person, I grew up with my parents in the military, I’m not good at speaking in roundabout ways, so I’ll just say it directly!"

Summer Monroe had encountered confessions before, but never one so direct and sudden, it was indeed a first.

She didn’t know what to say for a moment, so she let Julian Kingston continue speaking.

Julian Kingston took a big gulp of wine before speaking again: "I can’t forget the scene where you saved me. You don’t know, you were the first girl I’ve seen who was so gallant and heroic. I’ve been looking for you ever since... At first, I thought I just wanted to repay you, but the more time passed, the more certain I became that I like you!"

Summer Monroe watched Julian Kingston in a daze, seeing the sincerity and nervousness in his eyes.
