Chapter 379:


    “You make me fall for you even harder.”


    Men are often drawn to the thrill of the chase.


    A difficult target is especially appealing.


    Alicia looked into his eyes.


    Despite the intensity of the moment overwhelming her, she wondered if he would willingly be her prey.


    The mere thought thrilled her.


    She was beginning to understand the pleasures of being in control.


    She withdrew her hands.


    Caden gently held her waist, clearly not ready to let go.


    “Last month, when you were in Bechorion, I noticed you spent a lot of time with people from the tech industry.


    What’s on your mind?”


    Alicia wasn’t surprised that he knew about her movements.


    She remained silent.


    Seeing her reaction, Caden guessed.


    “Are you getting into tech development? I’ll invest.


    You could start your own brand.”


    He knew she had the talent, and with his backing, she might even outshine Ynda.


    Alicia’s eyes lit up.


    “You would invest in me? Aren’t you worried you’re empowering a futurepetitor?”


    Caden replied, “Even the Blizzard Group will belong to you someday.


    You’re not a threat.”


    Alicia was taken aback.


    Fully immersed in business now, his proposition was incredibly tempting.


    She pinched herself to stay focused.


    “Anyone can make grand promises.


    What if I say I’ll draft a will tomorrow, leaving all my assets to you and vow to have eight children with you? Would you take that seriously?”


    Caden chuckled.


    “Eight might be too many; two would be enough.” His smile widened.


    “A boy and a girl, with the boy being the older sibling.


    What do you think?”


    Alicia felt her heart skip a beat, and a warm vision briefly crossed her mind.


    She pushed him away, the charmer that he was.


    “Go on, get back to your affairs.


    I have to take Mr.


    Langstaff to the galleryter.”


    Caden snorted.


    “He’s rtively unknown.


    He should feel honored to enter your gallery.”


    Alicia nced to the side and noticed ke standing not far off.


    The corner of her mouth twitched.


    ke had evidently witnessed their intimate exchange.


    Caden, unbothered by who might hear, didn’t soften his words.


    ke caught thement and couldn’t resist interjecting, “Ms.


    Bet hasn’t made anyints.


    Perhaps you’re overreacting?”


    Caden turned to face him.


    Instinctively, Caden wanted to drape his arm around Alicia’s waist to signal to ke that she was with him, but she quickly swatted his hand away.


    He felt a bit awkward.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    ke chuckled at the scene.


    Stepping forward, he addressed Alicia, “Ms.


    Bet, I’m avable whenever you’re ready.


    When shall we leave?”


    Alicia replied with a smile, “Now seems good.”
