Anna chuckled lightly, a glimmer of mischief in her eyes as her fingertips delicately toyed with a bunch of grapes, elegantly plucking one from the vine. She slowly brought the glistening grape to Andaro, as if granting him a wish. A flicker of smugness crossed Andaro's gaze, his lips curling into a lecherous smile as he slightly parted his mouth, ready not only to savor the grape but also to seize the opportunity to brush against her soft fingertips, as if that fleeting contact could quench the deep-seated desires within him.
He opened his mouth, attempting to capture both the grape and her fingers, inhaling deeply, his longing gaze fixated on the curve of her fingertip. However, just as he thought he could grasp it, a flash of cool composure shone in Anna's eyes. She swiftly withdrew her hand, and the grape slipped past his lips without leaving even a trace of contact. Andaro's mouth fell open in surprise for a moment before he burst into laughter, his voice laced with infatuation and helplessness. "Miss Anna, you truly are remarkable! You know just how to tantalize someone!"
His laughter echoed in the tranquil corner, tinged with a hint of embarrassment yet brimming with urgency and desire. The small tease ignited Andaro's greed even further; his gaze remained glued to Anna's face, filled with the predatory intent of a hunter. It seemed that the more elusive she became, the more he yearned to hold her tightly in his grasp.
Anna smiled slightly, her eyes sparkling with playfulness and steadiness. She raised an eyebrow and said with a teasing tone, "Oh dear, Mr. Andaro, relationships should always take time; they can't be rushed like you seem to prefer!" Her voice was soft yet carried an undercurrent of rejection, subtly pointing out his impatience while still maintaining an enticing allure that kept him intrigued. "Someone like you, a strong figure, surely understands the beauty of taking things step by step, right?"
Andaro's smile gradually faded, but deeper flames of desire ignited in his eyes. He believed he had deciphered Anna's attitude and nodded proudly as if well-versed in this game of seduction. With a satisfied grin, he murmured, "Miss Anna, you're absolutely right... Such beautiful things must be savored slowly to truly appreciate their flavor." His grin widened with self-satisfaction as if convinced that this escalating game would ultimately fall into his hands as a testament to his conquest.
Anna's smile remained subtle; inwardly she scoffed at his arrogance while maintaining an expression of gentle patience on her face as if genuinely moved by his words and secretly admiring his "grace." She knew well that Andaro's greed had already taken root; no further prompting was needed for him to draw closer to her like a moth to a flame.
With a slight smile, Anna gently placed her hand on Andaro's arm, her tone playful yet coy. "Mr. Andaro, I find myself quite interested in you. A person as influential as you must have quite a busy life—I'm simply curious about what keeps you occupied." Her tone sounded casual and relaxed, yet her gaze revealed an almost imperceptible focus as she tested this seasoned man's reaction.
Upon hearing this, Andaro raised an eyebrow slightly, caution flashing in his eyes. The smile on his face dimmed somewhat as he wore an air of subtle defensiveness. Leaning back slightly, he asked in a low voice, "Miss Anna, why are you suddenly interested in my work? This is supposed to be a relaxing occasion; discussing work is rather dull."
Anna did not retreat; instead, she maintained her gentle smile as if unfazed by his tone of skepticism. She feigned a slightly pouty expression and replied softly, "Oh dear Mr. Andaro, isn't it true that men should consider their careers as part of life? For such a successful man like yourself, your career must be everything to you! I'm merely curious about your busy days."
Her voice was soft and light as it brushed against his ear like silk, stirring something within Andaro. There was an alluring softness in Anna's words that made them hard to dismiss. With admiration gleaming in her eyes and her head slightly lowered—perhaps due to the directness of the topic—she appeared bashful yet sincere in her gentle probing.
Watching her delicate demeanor dissolve his wariness bit by bit, Andaro found himself charmed by her tone and gaze; it felt as though this woman truly was captivated by him. His lips curled back into a smile as satisfaction and pride flickered in his eyes. Lowering his guard slightly while laughing heartily, he said playfully, "Haha! Well then, Miss Anna since you're so interested, I'll share a little secret with you. But mind you—these aren't secrets just anyone can hear."
Anna raised an eyebrow slightly in feigned surprise and covered her mouth with delight; her eyes sparkled with admiration and curiosity as if terrified of missing any word he was about to utter. "Is it really a secret? How fortunate I am!" Her voice was soft enough to be almost silken—a blend of humility and eager excitement—as if every word soothed Andaro's vanity without him even realizing it.
She let out a soft sigh, feigning grievance as she said, "If I don't even know what the man I'm dating is doing... can we really call it dating?" She slightly turned her head, a hint of a smile playing at the corners of her mouth, her gaze lingering on his face, exuding an innocent charm that silently released a touch of temptation.
Seeing her like this, Andaro felt increasingly pleased with himself, as if this beauty was truly captivated by him and eager to explore his world. This sense of superiority made him laugh heartily, his eyes no longer holding any guard but instead radiating with growing pride. Such admiration and appreciation were immensely satisfying to him.
"Miss Anna, it seems you truly have an eye for quality!" Andaro lowered his voice, a self-satisfied smile on his face as he leaned closer to her and said, "Since you're so curious... let me share a little with you. I am the one who calls the shots in Wasteland City; both the underworld and the elite have to give me some respect. If it weren't for me worrying about certain matters in Shadow City, they would have been in utter chaos long ago!"
His deep and arrogant voice carried an underlying pride, as if he believed that these words would completely win her over. Anna, however, pretended to be surprised, her mouth slightly agape and her eyes sparkling with admiration as she softly said, "Wow... I never expected Mr. Andaro to be so impressive. No wonder being around you always feels like... an irresistible force."
Her voice was soft as silk, leaning slightly closer to him with a focused and admiring expression that made Andaro swell with pride even more. He felt like a person in control of everything, even starting to believe that this stunning beauty before him was about to fall completely for him. No longer hiding his self-satisfaction and desire, he confidently moved closer, his eyes gleaming with possessiveness as if every move she made was already under his control.
After hearing Andaro's words, Anna pretended to be astonished, widening her eyes slightly with a tone laced with admiration and envy as she whispered, "No wonder I just saw Secretary He Jianye... who doesn't know he's the mayor's right-hand man! To stand shoulder to shoulder with such a figure is truly commendable for Mr. Andaro!" Her voice was gentle and light, as if praising a legendary hero.
Andaro was filled with joy from her words, unable to suppress his pride as he puffed out his chest. His eyes sparkled with pride and self-satisfaction. Listening to Anna's praise felt like honey poured over him; he seemed to swell even more, wearing a smug smile as if every word she spoke further confirmed his status. He waved dismissively and said proudly, "Hmph! Need I say more? He Jianye is just a well-trained dog under the mayor; of course he has to show me respect when he sees me."
Seeing Anna gazing at him with admiration, Andaro felt a surge of pride and leaned in closer, his tone dripping with arrogance. "And also that woman you saw earlier? Shen Liya—she's no ordinary person. She's the leader of the Silver Fox Sect in the Serpent Bite Gang—a true queen!" He lowered his voice as if revealing some unknown secret: "Even the mayor has to show her some respect!"
Upon hearing the name "Serpent Bite Gang," Anna slightly furrowed her brow, pretending to be shocked as she placed her hand gently over her chest, expressing a hint of panic and fear in her voice. "A gang... oh my gosh, that's terrifying." Her tone carried a trace of fear, and her eyes reflected subtle apprehension as if these harsh realities were so far removed from her yet so unsettling.
Andaro noticed her innocent demeanor and felt even more satisfied. Leaning closer to Anna with an air of superiority, he said in a condescending tone, "Miss Anna, don't worry! With me around, these dark forces are nothing but toys I can easily control. Don't mention Shen Liya; even the entire Serpent Bite Gang would have to obey my word."
His voice was deep and assured, brimming with arrogance as if he had already placed himself at the pinnacle of power. Anna maintained an expression of admiration while nodding gently; however, inside she was smirking coldly, memorizing every detail of his arrogance and becoming increasingly aware of who he truly was.
