Chapter 21 - The Demon President Was Enamored (2/2)
Unbeknownst to her, a pair of eyes was watching her every move. His eyes silently appreciated the smoothness of her skin, the way her hair bounced with her every move, and how she beamed a smile to her co-workers. Hero wondered if there would be a day Luna would smile at him like that.
He couldn't believe that there's a woman that could outright reject him. It took a lot of patience for him to rebuild their company, and Hero had that kind of patience. He took quiet satisfaction in knowing he would receive the utmost outcome of what he's planning if he was patient enough to work on it.
He'd learned a long time ago that patience was a virtue. Something that nearly everyone didn't possess. Not that he minded that lack in others as long as it wouldn't affect him negatively. It gave him a distinct advantage over everyone.
But in the matter of Luna Jiang, he didn't know if he had enough patience to wait for her. Hero allowed himself a small smile as he contemplated the image of Luna in his welcoming arms. He wanted her, and she would be his.
When he had first seen her that morning, sleeping beside him in his hotel room, it had been like discovering something he'd never encountered before. She might have made a mistake of seducing him in his own bed, but that didn't change his impression about her. She was unlike any other woman he had ever met, and Hero promised to himself that he would find a way to get her.
Hero had decided that maybe it was time for him to get a new wife. He thought Luna would suit him perfectly, regardless of what family she came from. That Jasper Mu had already lost his chance to claim her for himself when he failed to put a ring on her finger.
Luna Jiang was unquestionably unique, and that did not surprise Hero at all. After all that happened between them, she refused him. Her determination to protect her relationship with Jasper Mu was almost outstanding. Her loyalty was one of her stronger traits that attracted him. A trait that Hero also required in his future wife.
There's also a strong and undeniable physical attraction between him and Luna. He knew, of course, that the last time they spoke, she was pulling the reins of her self-control in front of him. Hero had felt something deep inside himself responded to Luna, which he didn't have with his deceased wife.
It was not that Luna Jiang possessed a spectacular beauty; rather, it was the opposite. She had a subtle charisma that called out to him; her haunting allure fascinated him that it almost kept him awake late at night.
She was an intriguing woman. The intelligence in her gaze was unmistakable. Hero admitted only to himself that he wanted her, that the demon president was enamored by Luna Jiang.
