Chapter 6

Britney woke up, and it was already late afternoon.

The moment Britney opened her eyes and looked at the hotel's iconic chandelier, her heart skipped a beat.

Anxiously pulling back the covers, she breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing her clothes intact.

"Phew!"

She lifted her gaze and met a pair of deep, starry eyes, as if they could see through everything, which made Britney feel deeply moved.

The man sat upright on the chair beside the bed, dressed in a neat and stylish suit. His handsome and unblemished facial features did not fade away because of his short hair, but instead highlighted the competent temperament that a man should possess.

For the first time, it was her first time seeing a man with such short hair, and he looked so handsome.

Britney snapped back to reality, her cheeks flushing pink from the mind wandering. “Did he leave?” Obviously she was asking about Conrad.

"Mmm!" The voice was deep and rich, like a cup of carefully brewed hot coffee, intoxicating and lingering.

“I… how did you know he would…” Britney felt a bit awkward.

"Don't be so careless next time," the man snapped his fingers, and a man walked in through the door. "He is my personal driver, wherever you go in the future, remember to bring him along!"

Britney was deeply moved by the man's unconditional trust. She didn't want to argue with him about what he said. After all, if he hadn't shown up in time today, the consequences would have been unimaginable. She just didn't expect Conrad to stoop so low for the sake of a marriage alliance.

As she carefully observed the man who just walked in, Britney noticed that his every movement was unconventional, suggesting that he had undergone some form of training.

And the next second, the man's words confirmed Britney's guess.

"He was always by my side, received formal training, and was also the black belt champion last year, Bryant Lawson."

“From now on, you’ll be following Miss Hammond.”

Britney clearly noticed the reluctance on Bryant’s serious face, yet he didn’t dare to argue.

Of course, she sympathized with him being "sold", but she was also willing to accept it. After all, it was about her own safety.

She was filled with question marks towards the man in front of her. She initially thought he was just a professional like Karsyn's younger brother, but with a more handsome appearance. But with him casually giving her the contact information of a big shot and assigning her with a black-belted driver at the drop of a hat, anyone would start to have wild thoughts.

Of course, if she knew that currently in Goldmoor, he is just the friend she referred to as a big shot, would she vomit blood?

"I can't keep calling you fiancé all the time, can I? What's your last name?" Britney smiled gracefully.

"Manuel!"

Manuel Castro, the eldest son of the Castro family, was once a prominent figure in Goldmoor. However, it was later heard that he went abroad for studies, and then it was heard that he went to the training zone for secret training. Eventually, it seemed like he gradually disappeared.

No one could have expected it to be him!

Thinking back to the first time they met, Britney mistakenly thought he was just a poor boy and even offered to support him. She wanted to find a hole to hide in.

"What? Regretting it?" Manuel asked, seeing Britney's surprised expression.

Britney smiled lightly and shook her head.

"Britney!"

Britney extended her slender hand, and Manuel reciprocated by reaching out his hand.

The rough palm transmitted a scorching temperature...

"I am glad to become your fiancée!"

"I am glad to become your fiancé!"

They looked at each other and smiled.

The first time Britney saw Manuel's smile, she was stunned. He was an enchanting man, with an enchanting smile.

"I might have to leave again for two days!" Manuel's cold tone revealed a hint of regret.

Britney withdrew her hand and nodded approvingly. "You go ahead! With him here, you can rest assured!" Britney glanced at Bryant, who stood by the side without moving.

"Wedding date?" Manuel paused for a moment. "When I come back, arrange for both sets of parents to meet, and then we can set a date, alright?"

"Good!"

As the words were spoken, a warm sensation spread across the lips.
