Meanwhile, at the elevator, Bonnie was holding Leslie’s arm with a look of satisfaction. Leslie had
treated her to an expensive dinner and gave her a gift as well. Now, she was going to spend at
romantic night with him at the hotel’s. presidential suite. This was the best life she could ever dream of.
She had a man who adored and doted on her, but most importantly, he was Queenie’s fiancé. The fact
that she had snatched him away from Queenie made her even more pleased with him.
“Once Grandpa agrees to it, I can break off my engagement to Queenie next month. When the time
comes, the first thing I’ll do is arrange our engagement, and then I’ll start preparing for our wedding.”
Leslie announced eagerly. He was thirty, and it was time for him to start a family.

She only wanted to revel in the joys of dating him. She enjoyed being pampered and doted on without
being shackled by marriage. Furthermore, she recalled that Queenie had gotten involved with Nigel,
and she was determined to steal away anything that Queenie had her eyes on.
“What’s the rush, Leslie? Everything’s great the way it is right now!” Bonnie flashed him a seductive
smile and hooked her arms around his neck before getting intimate with him right in the hotel elevator.
Leslie was more than happy to respond in kind, and never once did they part from each other as they
made their way to the room.
Nigel drove into the basement and turned off the engine. He looked at Queenie, who was still sound
asleep. He narrowed his eyes as he called out. “Wake up, Queenie.”
Queenie looked at him with bleary eyes. When she realized they were in the basement parking lot at
his place, she smiled and exclaimed, “Oh, we’re here!”
She got out of the car as if it were the most natural thing in the world-as though this was actually her
place instead of his.
All at once, it occurred to Nigel that she wasn’t at all shy about going to his place. They were complete
strangers. Did she trust him that much? Didn’t she have any sense of caution?
His eyes flashed with a devilish glint. He wanted to scare her a little. Queenie rubbed her sore arm as
she entered the elevator. As soon as she got in, she saw the man inside the elevator studying her with
predatory eyes.

The elevator arrived at their floor, and the doors slid open. Queenie eyed him puzzledly as she got out.
He followed her all the way to the guest room before raising his arms to trap her between his chest and
the wall. “Miss Silverstein, you’ll have to give me something in return for staying at my house.”
Queenie realized what was going on now. Is he trying to chase me out? Does he think he can scare me
off just like that? She blinked at him and seemed to have mustered up the courage to make a bold
decision.
“Mr. Manson, let’s get married tomorrow!” Nigel’s hands shot back down as he took two steps back.
“What did you say?”
“Let’s get married! Then, we elope!” Queenie repeated in all seriousness.
It was Nigel’s turn to be dumbstruck. “Is that some kind of a joke? Who wants to get married to you?”
