The woman from earlier had returned, her eyes brimming with flirtatious intent.


    “To make up for my clumsiness, let me treat you to some cake.


    ”


    She ced the cake in front of Andrew, her fingers lingering a moment too long on the te.


    “No, thanks.


    ” Andrew’s voice was as cold as the chill in the air, his rejection slicing through her offer like a de.


    The woman bit her lip, clearly not used to being turned down, let alone three times in a row.


    Her gaze shifted to Madisyn, who sat across from Andrew.


    The woman’s eyes narrowed as realization dawned on her.


    So that was why he kept rejecting her-it was because he had a girlfriend!


    “Hey, handsome, is this your girlfriend?” she cooed, her voice dripping with faux innocence as she nced at Madisyn.


    “Miss, I only offered him cake because I identally stained his clothes earlier.


    It was purely innocent, I assure you.


    Please don’t misunderstand.


    ”


    Her affected tone made Madisyn’s stomach churn.


    She fought the urge to roll her eyes, disgust curling in her chest.


    Just as she was about to respond, Andrew spoke first, his patience wearing thin.


    “It has nothing to do with my girlfriend,” he replied, irritation seeping into his voice.


    “I just don’t want to ept your things.


    ”


    His words were a final, firm dismissal.


    “Please leave.


    ”


    The woman’s eyes widened in shock, as if she couldn’t believe what she was hearing.


    No man had ever rejected her like this before.


    Intrigued, she shed a calcting smile, her interest piqued.


    This man was a challenge-a rare find in a world where she was used to having men wrapped around her finger.novelbin


    However, she firmly believed that there wasn’t a man in this world who wouldn’t cheat, if given the chance.


    “Alright, I’ll be on my way,” she said with an exaggerated pout.


    As she passed by Andrew, she slipped a card into his pocket, her movements sly and subtle.


    Madisyn stirred her porridge, a smirk ying on her lips.


    “Mr.


    Klein, you certainly attract a lot of attention.


    ”


    “Women like her are always after something,” Andrew replied indifferently.


    Unexpectedly, Andrew saw right through the woman’s ploy at a nce.


    Madisyn couldn’t help but chuckle, giving Andrew an approving nod.


    “You’re sharp, Mr.


    Klein.


    Very sharp.


    ”


    When Andrew caught the mischievous glint in Madisyn’s eyes, his heart swelled with affection.


    With a smirk, he pulled the card from his pocket, ready to toss it aside, but Madisyn’s hand shot out, stopping him.


    “Give it to me,” she demanded, her tone yful yet firm.


    Andrew blinked in surprise.


    “What?”
