Enchanted By His Charm

The one who was engaged with him was Rosy. Although the engagement was not so formal, it was a mutual promise by their elders, after all. Leo didn't like Rosy, and he preferred to look at Irish's photo instead of facing Rosy.

The photo was from her school's contact book. It was an ID photo. In this photo, Irish didn't wear makeup with long hair. She looked so clean.

When Leo was pushed again to contact Rosy, he suddenly had an idea.

He appeared in front of Irish by making up a story of having a blind date with her.

Leo also asked for more emphasis on his early engagement with Irish from his father, and his father said it was only a joke by that time. However, Leo cared about it a lot, and he went to Irish's uncle and aunt to reiterate the early engagement.

He thought it was so simple. He just wanted to get close to Irish and be with her. However, he never thought that Joseph was earlier than him.

It was not Leo's original thought to become friends with his beloved one, and it was also not the case that he finally made friends with a psychologist.

Once, Leo invited Fredrick as a psychological consultant in Key Group, but Fredrick hesitated, and there was no conclusion.

The secretary served two cups of coffee for them. The aroma of coffee covered the sweetness of the tea.

"As for tea, the Runestone Group is better than the Key Group, but for coffee, the Key Group is the winner." Leo invited Fredrick to have a taste of it with a smile, "It is the best-quality coffee bean chosen by me. Have a taste."

A man with a good taste for coffee could easily grasp the taste. Fredrick sipped it and nodded, "Yes, it is excellent."

Leo was clever. Sipping his coffee, he just leaned against the sofa and released his tie, smiling, "It seems that you are determined."

One would not come to the other without any reason. Fredrick tended not to get close to a corporation. Finally, he came to the Key Group, proving he had considered a lot.

Fredrick was a frank person. Putting down the cup, he looked at Leo and said, "I hope my work will not be confined. To be honest, my target is Roy."

"I will not interfere with your work. I only request your good performance." Leo laughed and added, "Roy is the chairman of the Runestone Group. To some extent, my goal is similar to yours, but I need to remind you that Joseph is beside Roy, and Irish is beside Joseph."

Fredrick licked his lips and just said, "It's my business."

"Fine. Your courage is appreciated."

"In addition, the salary I requested is not low at all." Fredrick smiled lightly.

Leo leaned forward lightly and said word by word, "Talents are more precious than money."

Fredrick laughed loudly and shook hands with him, "Deal."

Leo also laughed and shook hands with him.

When Adam called her, Irish was in a daze, looking at the mentality report. The sudden voice of the phone frightened her.

The first thought was that Joseph called her.

Thinking of his voice on the call, Irish felt annoyed again. She just grabbed up the phone and said with fury, "What's up?" Adam felt shocked.

After two or three seconds, he said, "I... want to have dinner with you."

It was not Joseph's voice.

Irish felt surprised, too.

Adam made a greeting with her and then said, "This is Adam. Irish, can you hear me?"

Irish nearly forgot about him, and after a while, she said with regret, "Sorry. I mistook you for another."

"For Joseph?" Adam asked with a laugh. This name made Irish uncomfortable. She changed the topic, "Anything important?"

Adam felt that she wanted to change the topic, so he just followed her, "Are you free? Let's have dinner together. I have been on a business trip during this period, so I just forgot the taste of the dishes here."

Irish figured out that it had been a long time since their last meeting. She thought he had given up on her, so he didn't call her for such a long time.

"I..." Irish felt that all the excuses had been used up to refuse him, so she just said directly, "Sorry. I have an appointment already,"

"Never mind. How about tomorrow? Or the day after tomorrow?" Adam sounded calm.

Irish felt more headache, "Adam, I have made it clear."

"I see. I thought that we could become friends." Adam smiled.

Irish sighed, "That's right. But I don't have time, really. It is not convenient tonight, tomorrow is, either. I'm really sorry about it."

Adam laughed with embarrassment, "Why not just have dinner together by the name of friends?"

Irish was silent.

Adam was also silent.

After a while, he said lightly, "Okay, let's put it later."

Irish finally felt released, and she said sorry again.

Putting the phone down, she was just like a tired bird. She had no interest in watching any reports, so she just viewed the website. Becky kept making her voice while Joseph kept silent and didn't clarify anything.

Irish felt angrier.

Why could she only be faced with one man?

She and Joseph were not in a normal relationship. He had no obligation to be loyal to her, and she had the right to be with others. She would not make it easy.

She just took up the phone and dialed the same number. Soon Adam got it through.

She stared at the screen and looked at Becky's bothersome smile and Joseph's side face. Finally, she just snarled, "Adam, a good restaurant suddenly occurs to my mind. It's

near Lotus Park. Let's go there tonight."

The wind swept down the rain into the night, patting the leaves. Branches in the wind and rain like teeth and claws, and the shadow fluttered all over the ground.

When Irish and Adam had finished dinner, the rain stopped, and only the cool night wind came up, mixed with the smell of rain and dust.

When she got to the parking place, Irish saw a place of broken white orchids, some of which were crushed into the mud by the wheels. Somehow, her heart hurt. She looked at the white ground and suddenly remembered the flowers of a tree when she had been in Light Town.

Adam insisted on taking her home. Irish was in a bad mood. From eating to getting in the car, most of her was silent. Adam tried to get some messages from her mouth many times to try to comfort her, but she just smiled at him occasionally.
