Chapter 208 Unreasonable Boy

“Did you really think I’d fall for you? Jace, you still owe me 100,000. When you’ve got the cash, remember to pay me back.” 1 couldn’t believe it. This guy was even more self–absorbed than Shawn.

The girl in the pink dress rushed over, her voice sharp as she chimed in, “Hey, do you know who he is? How could you break his heart like that? He went all the way to Hanzora for you… mmph!”

Jace quickly slapped a hand over her mouth, yanking her to the side.

I just watched the scene unfold, feeling little more than indifference. It seemed like the typical flirtation and bickering of young people. With a shake of my head, I hailed a taxi and left.

In the backseat, I pulled out my phone and texted Melanie. I told her to stop helping me look for anyone.

Melanie’s reply was immediate, “Are you falling for him? Is he getting to you?”

I rolled my eyes as I typed back. Jace was just an immature kid in my eyes. Sure, he was 22, but that didn’t make him the type I’d want in a relationship.

1 toid Melanie there was no way I was interested in him. She teased me, calling me a coward for making a move.

liking someone but not

I gave a bitter smile. As a boss, falling for an employee was a bad idea. It would only end in disaster.

When I got home, my phone was buzzing non–stop. Jace’s calls and messages were flooding in. I ignored them.

The next morning, my doorbell rang.

I froze, staring at the door, my heart thumping in my chest. I pecked through the peephole.

It was Jace. How had he found me?

Shocked, I opened the door. He stood there, guilt written all over his face. “Sorry,” he said softly. “I didn’t mean to disrupt you so early”

I glared at him. “How did you find me? Did you investigate me?”

Jace dropped his gaze, his voice quiet as he answered, “Yes, I asked a friend for help. I’m sorry. I just wanted to explain.”

I crossed my arms, voice icy. “If you can track me down, that means everything you said before was a lie.”

His clear blue eyes met mine, steady and unwavering. “I just wanted to get to know you.”

A chill ran down my spine. “Who exactly are you?” And that was when it hit me. Jace was no ordinary guy.

Tm from Zleson. I’m Zleson–born,” he said, his voice soft. “My family’s wealthy, Those people who came after me last time weren’t debt collectors. They were my bodyguards. My great–uncle’s i

my

butler.”

I stood frozen, the words still echoing in my mind. Jace–the heir to a wealthy family? And yet, here he was, playing the role of a poor kid working a summer job at my place. It didn’t make sense. How could someone so seemingly ordinary hide so much

“What’s all this about? I finally managed to speak, my voice steady despite the confusion. He had lied to me, but if he was Life now, I wasn’t about to make a scene over it.

“Of course it’s all for you, Jace murmured, his gaze dropping, his fingers twisting nervously. “Tiffany, you didn’t fall for me at first sight. But I fell for you the moment I saw you?

His words hit me like a ton of bricks. I hadn’t expected that. Jace always had a way of catching me off guard.

He had it all, but the fact that he was younger than me made at impossible for me to take him seriously.
