Chapter 2 (2/2)
”What did you do? Fixing a broken heart?” teased Reynald
”I fixed h his eyes obviously becalared at Reynald He turned to Lavender ”How about you Lavender? You're Reeve's cousin, right?”
Lavender only smiled and nodded Johann shook hands with her ”How are you? I heard Reynald's heart is with you Can you please return it to him so he can move on?”
Lavender was stunned while his cousins laughed
”asshle!” Reynald threw the table napkin at Johann
He only grinned ”You started it” He greeted Crystal Jane next ”So you are Crystal Jane! Right, you look like an angel You should be the type who should not be duped, right, Ramses?”
”You want to end up in jail?” warned Ramses as at the other end of the table
”Why do you want to send ly replied and then shook hands with Haley too ”Wow! Haley, right? The sexy one!”
Her cousin giggled ”Thank you, Johann, ” she flirty said
”But you're too young You're really a cradle snatcher Mr G-”
”Don't you even dare,” Gideon ihed accompanied by the others He seemed to enjoy this tease-show
When he came to her, Johann halted
She can't help but raise an eyebrow at hiet her attention Well, she never pays attention to any guy, after all
”You are Sapphire?”
”Yes, why?”
”You became more beautiful I have already taken notice of you even before” He stretched his hand ”I'm Johann”
Sapphire's cheeks heated up because of his words She leaned her neck back and rolled her eyes at him as she secretly whipped herself The other party only said she was beautiful yet she was immediately flattered? She has been told that for so many tinored But when he was the one who said it, she blushed?
”A-ha-ha! Snubbed!” His other cousins chaffed him
Theman withdrew his hand and then talked to Reeve
Haley poked at her, ”Hey, why did you do that to Johann? He's a cutie And I can sense that he's kind,” the woman whispered
Sapphire eyed her ”He only co that he's kind? I don't care at all”
The chat grew louder because of Johann's arrival She was not aware but before the lunch co him with her eyes
The table was filled with laughter Because of Johann's stories, the aardness loo around her cousins faded Now it seemed like he was the only story-teller and the rest only cah
Even when the lunch was finished, the chattering didn't stop Sapphire could only admit that she had also been hooked by Johann's stories She even laughed at one of his jokes earlier She thought, ood to have hiuys
”Reeve, can we talk now?” she urged her cousin
”Okay Let's go to the study room” Reeve stood up and informed his wife
She also rose fro for the meantime but her cousins ith her She could only shake her head in helplessness
As they enter the house, they immediately turned to the study roo the door
”So, Reeve, you invited atha's cousins?” She impatiently asked
Haley barged in ”Huh? You really pushed your plan of picking a grooatha's cousins?”
Crystal Jane said, ”What now? They all said they each have their girlfriends,” the woman lowered her head in dejection
”I invited you all here becausetiuys more It just so happened that her cousins were invited as well since she hadn't seen the,” Reeve explained as he sat on the only swivel chair ”Anyhow, Sapphire, I shared your problehed ”About which man to refer”
Sapphire's eyes shone in delight ”Who?” Oh, she's closer to her money!
”It's Johann”
Her cousins gasped before she did Haley screaht? He's so funny and cute,” the girl mouthed in a flirty manner
”He was also the one Sapphire snubbed,” added Lavender ”But he did not fret over it I think, he can handle our Sapphire here”
”He's nice and friendly I like him for Saphi!” Crystal Jane commented ”Nice choice, Reeve”
”W-wait, wait” she said and raised her hands to stop their conversation They already said too”W-why him?” she asked
It is not that she hates it Actually, everything's fine for her but she thinks it would be hard to conspire with the likes of Johann Likely he won't take it seriously
”Why not?” Reeve asked back
”Yeah Look, Saphi, he's older than you, he's cute or handsoers ”Has strong sex appeal, and he said a while ago that he's a professor froious university”
”He looks like so but you can obviously see that he's witty and a gentleman,” Lavender chimed, ”And the sense of humor? He has a lot!”
”It would be fun being with a person like hi times when he's around He's perfect for your plan, Saphi”
Oh sure he is! She noticed a while ago when she was observing the guy in secret The truth is, he caught her attention because he said she was pretty For the first tirabbed her attention!
She turned to Reeve ”Do you think he will agree? Why did you refer him?”
Reeve shrugged ”He's brokenhearted”
She was once again overtaken by her cousins in reacting so she chose not to react anyh she also felt surprised
”He is?” said Haley ”Seems not obvious”
”He's really brokenhearted My step sister who he claimed as his first and true love dumped him Added to the fact that his best friend was not around to comfort him She can't be found So,to be happy but is deeply hurting inside,” Reeve explained while she listened attentively ”Hopefully, he will agree, just to divert his attention”
She unconsciously nodded to hiht they only kno to bring pain to women
She suddenly felt pity for Johann Another first tiuy
”Oh, in short, he's vulnerable right now He can be easily roped in!” Haley exclairab this chance!”
She hastily exited the study room
”Where are you going, Saphi?” Lavender followed
”I'room!”
