Avoiding The Billionaire CHAPTER 32
Admiring these paintings was a source of enjoyment for some. But for an artist, enjoyment could be derived from admiring just about any object of beauty. Cynthia's beauty called to them.Cynthia was studying a painting when a tall and handsome young man walked over to her and gave a comment on the painting, “A distinct feature of this painting is that there seems to be a sort of fluidity between the compatible and the incompatible tones. It appears that the painter is an uninhibited person.”Cynthia casually replied, “It’s one of Felix‘s earlier paintings. His artistic ingenuity is simply extraordinary.”When the man saw that she had responded, he was delighted. “It seems that you have quite an understanding of paintings.”“It’s somewhat related to my job. That’s probably why I pay extra attention to them.” Cynthia smiled.“It so happens that I’m not too good at it. I wonder if you’ll let me accompany you around to study them.” The man wanted to get to know her further.At this moment

After waiting for a while, the man became miffed and displeased.Why was she taking such a long time in the washroom?Gabriel continued to wait a little longer. He soon came to the realization that she had long exited the washroom and was avoiding him.Damn, this woman had the audacity to avoid him?This seemed to stir up his anger.He strode around the hall looking for Cynthia. After making a round, he still could not find her. His gaze landed on the hallway leading to the buffet area. Eyes narrowed, he headed there.There was a romantic ambience in the dining hall. The roses added a special touch to the dining tables — a perfect setting for a dinner date.With food on their plates, Cynthia and Zack took their seats by the window. They had eaten for quite a while. She seemed a little distracted. She began to wonder whether Gabriel was currently looking for her.Forget it. They did not come to this event together anyway. There wasn’t any need to attend to him.“Ms Cynthia, I’m sure yo

Grandpa immediately quieted him. “Don’t wake Zion”“Grandpa, I’m here to take him home with me. As soon as he wakes up in the middle of the night and can’t find his mother, he will start to cry.” Gabriel spoke in hushed tones.“No.” Grandpa was of course unwilling to let his great-grandson be taken away.Gabriel bluffed, “This child only sleeps after he’s exhausted. He will cry incessantly once he wakes up and doesn’t see his mother.”Looking at the little boy who was fast asleep, grandpa had no choice but to give in. “Alright. You can take him home. Bring him over to play more often.”“Okay” Gabriel answered. He stooped down and picked the little boy up. This roused the little boy. Rubbing his eyes, he saw that it was his daddy who was carrying him. He said in a choked voice, “Where’s mommy?”“Mommy is waiting for you at home.” Gabriel comforted him.Seeing that the little boy was looking for his mother right after waking up from his sleep, grandpa let out a sigh.The little fellow w

Just as she shakily rose to her feet, his strong arms lifted her by the butt and settled her on his back. This action startled her into wrapping her arms around his neck. That was how she ended up being forcefully piggybacked by him.“Gabriel, put me down. I said that I’m able to walk.” She struggled in protest.Who would have known that he would pat her on the ass — twice. “Be good and hold still.”A blush stained her pretty face. The little boy who was walking in front of them in concentration was oblivious to his mommy’s mortification.Cynthia did not dare to put up a struggle any more. Gabriel carried her all the way back to his place. Zack had already fetched the first-aid kit. Cynthia sat on the sofa while the ointment was being applied on her knees. Fortunately, the wound was not deep.“Mommy, let’s not go anywhere today. We’ll just stay at home, okay?” The little boy was so distressed that he wasn’t even in the mood to play.Cynthia was at a loss for words. She couldn’t believ

She didn’t know what had overcome her that she did not shake off his grip. The feeling of wanting to square up to him had fled her. But there were some doubts lingering in her head. Was he really on her side?After having been ushered into the passenger seat by him, she was still somewhat befuddled. Gabriel got in the driver’s seat and saw that she had not fastened her seat belt. He then leaned towards her.This startled her into backing up against the window. She looked at him warily. “What are you trying to do?”Looking at her startled expression, he muttered in discontent, “Even if I wanted to fool around in here, there isn’t enough room for me to display my prowess.” Reaching over to her seat belt, he proceeded to strap her in.When she saw that he had only wanted to fasten on her seat belt for her, she was at a loss for words, having clearly mistaken his intentions.As it was close to midday, Gabriel suggested, “Let’s have our lunch first. Once we’re done, I’ll drop you off at wo

Cynthia looked at her coldly. “Mrs. Leonard, do you need something?”“So you’re aware that I’m Mrs. Leonard. Cynthia, let me warn you, you’d better stay away from my husband.” Face all done up, Angela glared at her.“I hate to break it to you, but I’m not interested in trash.” Cynthia replied, derision evident in her voice.“That’s what you’re saying now, but whether you’re keeping your word, I wouldn’t know. I heard that you’ve got a son. Is this true?”Cynthia’s face drew taut. “It’s none of your business.”“Though what I’m not sure is whose bastard it is. Cynthia, I’ve got to hand it to you — getting pregnant right after you went abroad. You must have been really lonely.” Angela assumed that Cynthia had conceived her son while she was abroad.Hearing the word ‘bastard’, Cynthia became livid and gave her a slap to wipe off the smugness on her face. Cynthia had not been able to do so back then, but today, she would not hold herself back.Exclaiming in pain, Angela cupped her smarting

Cynthia's virtuous side could be seen. Shopping for groceries wasn’t something new to her. After selecting the vegetables, she headed over to the meat section. She even took into account the ingredients needed for tomorrow’s breakfast.At the checkout point, because she had gotten more things, she intended to pay for the groceries. As she was looking around in her bag for her card, a golden card entered her field of vision.“Use mine.” The man’s deep, magnetic voice sounded.Glancing at it, she pushed it aside and simultaneously pulled out her card. Raising her head, she said to him, “I’ll use mine.”His brows creased. This woman was being too formal with him. At this time, the cashier was done ringing up their purchases. She was quick to hand the cashier her card, but the man was even quicker. “Take mine.”“Mine — use mine.” Cynthia said as she scrambled to pay.Looking at the two cards, the cashier gave a laugh and took the golden card from the noble man. “Then I’ll swipe this gentl

Time flew by as she read the news. She left her room after looking at the time. The crystal chandelier in the living room had been turned off. Only a few wall lights were left on and had been dimmed. As Gabriel was nowhere to be seen, she thought he must have gone to bed.She walked into her son’s room with light, feathery steps. With only the wall lamp switched on, the little boy was tucked under the covers, sleeping soundly. She swept her hand across his forehead to see if he was sweating.When she was done checking up on him, she walked lightly to the door. After observing the little boy for any movement, she gently closed the door.She turned around only to be confronted with the sight of a pair of pitch-black eyes. Her heart pounded with fright. Her red lips parted as she was about to cry out in alarm.The man quickly muffled her cry with a palm over her mouth. His handsome face neared hers. “Shh…”The cool masculine breath caressed her face. There was an inexplicable sense of da

Upon arriving at the car park, the bodyguard was waiting respectfully there. After getting on the car, when Cynthia saw him walking over, he did not seem to feel any pain from his wounds at all. Furthermore, with her earlier anger towards him, she could not help but squint at him, "Your wounds are not painful at all, you just don't want me to watch a movie right?""You want to see a man? Go back home with me, I'll show you enough." Gabriel snorted.She realized that she couldn't reason with him, and she said a little angrily, "If I knew this would happen, I would've gone to see it myself." It's such a pity to have bought a ticket for such a wonderful movie and not watch it.A few seconds after she finished speaking, her slender shoulders were suddenly pulled over by the man. Before she could react, the man had already covered her with a frantic kiss.The first was a wild and overbearing kiss, making it hard for her to resist.This kiss continued for two minutes before Gabriel finally

Soon after, the second set of works was brought up on stage. On the huge screen, this pair of jewellery shined brilliantly and caused people to look forward to it. Very quickly, it was sold for over a million dollars.The sixth painting was placed on top of the glass cabinet. Under the light of the lamp, the lotus flower necklace seemed to reveal a kind of Oriental beauty. It was beautiful and gentle, deeply favored by women.The starting price was three hundred thousand dollars and it was inlaid with extremely rare diamonds. It was lifelike, dazzling, beautiful, and extremely valuable."One million dollars." Immediately, people in the crowd raised their bids."One million and five hundred thousand dollars!" another woman called."Two million dollars."The price continued to rise. Cynthia was a little confused, her mind was also tight from the shock.What moved her even more was the recognition of her design."Three million dollars." A rich woman announced loudly. This necklace was bo

Fortunately, the bra design was conservative, so Gabriel had no objections. After that, he had matched it with a set of diamond jewelry, earrings, a necklace, and a bracelet as well.After the test, Cynthia relaxed. The acceptance ceremony would be held in the afternoon, and Linda had said that there would be a thank-you banquet tonight, so, the day belonging to the fashion designers was going to be even more lively tonight.Cynthia accompanied Gabriel back to the hotel to eat. After eating, she accompanied him back to the hotel to rest.Gabriel took the chance to take care of matters related to work, and when Cynthia entered her room to sleep, his phone rang. He picked it up and looked, his expression slightly tense, it was his grandfather."Hey!" "Grandfather.""Didn't I ask you to bring Zion here today? Why didn't you bring him here? ""I'm abroad.""What are you doing abroad?" Grandpa York asked curiously."Handling work matters.""Alright then!" Wait till you get back. " Grandpa

Cynthia stayed behind and she was also tired. She walked into the bedroom and slept, closing the door tightly.Gabriel was also tired. Although he did not touch her, but the tense atmosphere between the two of them had finally been relieved. She was sleeping in the room next door, which gave him a sense of security.Early morning.....Cynthia opened her eyes and immediately pushed the door open, walking into Gabriel's room. He did not close the door, nor did he wake up.The corner of his mouth lifted a little. It seemed that she still wasn't suitable for hating someone, as hating others was too tiring, and if she didn't hate him, then she would choose not to hate him!When Cynthia was about to leave, the man suddenly woke up. She reached out his hand and pressed it against Cynthia's waist, afraid that would hurt it, hence Cynthia immediately followed suit and laid on his chest, "Are you awake?""Hm!" We'll have breakfast together. " For a man, even living three meals a day with her wa

Cynthia was in a trance for a few seconds. In fact, her heart was not as calm as she appeared, as her heart was always thrown into disorder by him. His appearance was bound to cause her to be unable to calm down.Cynthia slightly lowered her eyes, looking at the tip of her feet, not wanting to look at him.Gabriel walked step by step to his side, narrowed his eyes and sized her up. This woman was actually not particularly dressed up, and just came like that.But even if she wore ordinary clothes, even if she dressed inconspicuously, he already had a deep desire for her. Even if she dressed poorly, it wouldn't stop him from wanting her to be impetuous and sexy."Have you had dinner?" Gabriel asked in a low voice.She bit her lips as she ignored him."I haven't eaten yet, let's go eat some more.""I don't want it." She didn't want to accompany him to eat."No? Are you sure? You can't blame me when you faint from exhaustion tonight. " Gabriel said with a warm and detestable smile.Cynthi

However, Luke still tried his best to have them chase after the direction of the trash.After he was done, Luke called Maureen who was seated and waiting. Upon hearing the summons, she immediately stood up and left the table.Behind her, there were also many employees who had guessed that Luke came here to investigate this matter. He was a strong person, he would definitely be able to find out what she did.Maureen walked to the door of the meeting room with big anxious steps. She lightly knocked on the door, and then Luke's low voice sounded from inside, "Come in."Maureen pushed the door open, and saw that Luke had also stood up. Maureen held the door open, and walked to his side, but before she could say anything, Luke's strong arm wrapped around her, pressing her down on her chest.Maureen's nose that was wronged started to sour, tears started to roll down her eyes, the grievances she had suffered this time was too much.Luke lowered his head, looked at her still immature face and

Other than Lina who still stood at the side to advise her, no one else would understand.Maureen's small face was stretched taut. She was surprisingly quiet, and even though she was under such huge pressure, there was still someone in her heart who gave her strength and comfort. That person was Luke.She knew he was coming."Maureen, it's no big deal. I'm just being fired. In the future, you can look for other jobs!" Lina consoled."I didn't do anything wrong, why should I resign? It's not my fault. " Maureen firmly believed from start to finish that he had not done anything wrong."Sigh!" Why are you so stubborn! Who doesn't feel wronged when they work here? " Lina sighed.At the entrance of Ministry of Foreign Affairs, an army-green off-road vehicle suddenly stopped, causing all of the employees who entered the hall to raise their eyebrows.At this moment, the driver's door was pushed open, and a tall and handsome figure jumped down.The man's sharp eagle eyes swept across the crowd

Fortunately, Maureen's talent in speech was extremely good, and adding the fact that she had befriended someone in Ministry of Foreign Affairs, two of her colleagues from other languages came over to help her. Before going to work, she went over to Renee's table, causing her expression to change slightly."Minister, the information you requested has been translated. Do you have any other instructions?""Maureen, did you translate all these yourself?""Minister, I have asked around before, but you are the only one who can simultaneously translate all eight languages at the same time. Therefore, for an assistant like me to be able to translate all six languages at the same time, it is already considered pretty good." Maureen said.Renee sneered, "Do you think this is considered outstanding? There are still a lot of places for you to learn. For today's meeting, you will be joining me. "Maureen saw a sly smile flash past her eyes, and immediately felt that something was wrong. However, s

Aunt Mercy nodded her head, "Of course I have, but only a few times. I remember that when she was young, she was an exceptional beauty.""Why didn't she want me anymore?" Cynthia asked somewhat angrily.Aunt Mercy shook her head once again. Regarding the matter that happened that year, even if she had doubts, she did not want to say it anymore. "Only your father knows about this secret, even I do not."Cynthia exhaled, "Seems like she really doesn't want me anymore. Otherwise, she would have come to find me even after so many years.""Cynthia, don't be sad. I feel like she didn't leave you behind, but had her own difficulties." Aunt Mercy advised and changed the topic, "Tell me about Gabriel! From what I see, he is definitely not an ordinary man.When Cynthia saw that she could not hide anything from her, she could only tell her everything that had happened recently. Although she had brought up some matters of life, Aunt Mercy could tell that she and Gabriel had some feelings for each
