Chapter 79 - Guest in a Romcom

There was a sparkle in Claudio's eyes when he reached for her hand and slowly led it towards his lips. His gaze sought hers and did never break contact with her eyes. His gaze looked straight into her green mirrors.

But as soon as Claudio's lips touched the soft skin of the back of her hand, she pulled her hand away from him.

He grinned wryly. "It's an honor to make your acquaintance this lovely evening."

Nelli rolled her eyes. " Let me offer you a goodbye." Nelli winked coquettishly at him. A tender smile was playing around her lips.

"Excuse me?!" Claudio asked, stunned.

Boldly, as always, the hope of another man was destroyed. Getting Lionelle's attention wasn't easy. So Lily liked to call her the femme fatale of the world.

After all, Nelli was not unaware of her presence she had on men' s world. After her social debut, Nelli hadn't had an easy time. Gentlemen were buzzing around her like moths to a flame. But their intentions were not always of pure nature.

Lionelle was too enchanting.

Nelli's appearance, her seductive body, her soft voluminous curves and the alluring face with magical-demonic features, often attracted the wrong kind of gentlemen. That' why Lionelle had to build a wall around her heart. She began to use words, like cannonballs, to shoot around herself. Like this, she wanted to sift out all those man whose intentions were not honest at all.

Roaring laughter broke the awkward silence. Alexandre curled up beside Lily and buried his head in her shoulder while holding her in his arms. His body vibrated as he laughed out loud into her neck.

Adrien leaned his head to the side. There were big thick question marks in his eyes. While Lily looked pityingly at the man whom Nelli had turned down without winking.

Actually, he appeared quite nice, she thought. Actually, he looked pretty good, as he stood next to her friend. Claudio was tall and imposing, with broad shoulders, dark brown hair and green sparkling eyes that stood out thanks to his dark olive skin color. He was more the southern type and had something daring in his appearance. Another one of those beauties! Lily thought intoxicated by him. The author didn't mention anything about him, but he was definitely made of main character material. Such guys seemed to exist in this world like a dime a dozen! Were there even people who looked normal in this world? How would she ever be able to digest that? Lily asked herself while her gaze paused on Claudio.

Suddenly Alexandre wrapped his hand around hers. His grip was firm, but also warm. Lily looked over at him. He seemed to have cooled down. But there was something threatening in his gaze. "I would also like to offer you my farewells!" He grinned like a wolf. "Since you have invited yourself. I do not have the hope that you will leave us tonight."

"You act like a tyrant. The minute you're married, you send your old friend to hell. You are hurting my feelings." Theatrically Claudio put his hand on his heart. He had apparently caught himself again after Nelli's attack. He sat down next to Nelli. "My dear, I'm afraid I can't accept your goodbye. I hope to be able to deepen our acquaintance."

Lily gasped for breath. She felt like she was in a movie. Like she was watching a romcom play in front of her eyes. In which Claudio and Nelli were playing the leading roles. Tension was in the air.

Alexadre snorted contemptuously beside her.
