Sydney took a deep breath. Her blood red lips curled into a sly smile. She made her way through the
crowd as she searched for Evan. After shoving her way through the packed crowd, elbowing patrons
and waiters alike, she finally found who she was looking for.
He was seated at one of the tables at the furthest end of the room. The lights were dim, yet somehow,
she still managed to spot the man. He sat there like a god gazing down upon his kingdom. Like a god,
he appeared distant and untouchable.
The sight sent Sydney’s heart racing.
She clutched her chest tightly, pursed her lips and tried her best to look as sultry as possible as she
made her way towards Evan’s table. Her eyes flitted around as if she were searching for someone.
Then, with a sudden thud, she slipped and fell next to Evan’s feet.
“Ow!” the young woman gasped aloud as she feigned pain.
She curled herself around Evan’s leg like an eel.
The act was outrageous. Yet, it did sessfully draw Evan’s attention to her.
His eyes fell on the woman who had falleh at his feet. He didn’t expect to see another MacMin.
Something cold rippled across Evan’s dark eyes. His voice remained perfectly polite though. “Ms.
MacMin. Are you alright?”
He had no interest in women who tried to tried to throw themselves at him. Unless he liked her, of
course..
Sydney couldn’t believe her ears. Was that concern in Evan’s voice? For her?
Her heart leaped. Glee flickered across her eyes. She wasn’t going to throw herself at the man, of
course. She got to her feet quietly and then, in a soft voice, said. “Mr. Welton…I’m so sorry. I was
looking for someone. I didn’t expect to trip and fall. I hope I didn’t hit you too hard when I fell.”
“I’m fine.” Evan nodded curtly and returned her soft words with a terse reply.
Dan wasn’t going to say a word if Evan wasn’t. Sydney was clearly here for Evan. No one sober could
have tripped and fallen so easily.
Besides, she fell right at Evan’s feet. That seemed like too much of a coincidence to be a happy
ident. He could understand why she had done it though.
Evan was the most good–looking bachelor in Nordeny and the man who was going to inherit the most
powerful business empire in the capital city.

Sydney realized that Evan had shifted his eyes away from her. He probably wasn’t interested in talking
to her. She could feel herself growing
nervous.
But being nervous won’t do any favors to Sydney. Men like Evan had countless women falling at his
feet and trying to gain his favor. Yet, Evan had never shown any interest in any woman at all. She
hadn’t heard of him being involved in any scandals.
The only possible scandal he might have been involved in was the one she and her mother had tricked
him into. The trap they had set up for Anya…they didn’t expect them to have sex though. The thought
of it drove her insane with jealousy.
“Mr. Welton…I’m working at Welton Group right now…I guess I’ll be seeing you around,” Sydney said
demurely and in a sweet voice to a man who wasn’t even looking at her.
Evan didn’t say a word to her at all. He obviously didn’t want to talk to her. The feeling of defeat
threatened to swallow Sydney whole.

The man was too proud. What did she have to do to get him interested in her?
She stared unblinkingly at the gorgeous man before her. Then, an idea popped into her head. Anya
was working at Welton Group Tower too.
She should seize the opportunity and darken the stain on her sister’s reputation. She had to make sure
Anya didn’t stand a chance with Evan.
At that thought, Sydney’s voice dropped into a soft murmur. Like a de hidden in its sheath, her
venomous words slid smoothly out of her lips. “Mr. Welton, I would like to extend an apology to you on
behalf of my sister. I know she’s working at Welton Group Tower.”
An apology? Evan finally looked at her when she mentioned Anya. Of course, he had no idea why he
cared so much about that woman. He simply couldn’t stop himself from reacting when he had heard
her name.
