Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 618:noveldrama

Before answering Ernst’s call, Silver Fox checked the time. It was early—just past 7 a.m. They had decided to part ways the previous day, and she had already blocked him on the messaging app. She realized she had forgotten to block his phone number too—a clear oversight.

Recalling the offensive things he had said the day before, she coldly snorted before accepting the call.

As soon as she did, Ernst’s voice came through. “Eloisa, I can give you one more chance to change your mind. Do you want to be with me?”

“Fuck off.”

Without hesitation, Silver Fox ended the call, blocking his number immediately afterward.

Burnet, who had overheard only the tone of the conversation but not the words, could tell it was a man’s voice. Seeing how upset Silver Fox appeared, he surmised the caller had provoked her anger. Curious about the identity of the caller, Burnet took mental note of the blocked number, thanks to his exceptional memory.

The remainder of the drive passed in silence, and they soon arrived at the Palace Hotel. Upon arriving, Silver Fox turned to Burnet and questioned, “Mr. Hoffman, are you sure you want to leave your secondary card with me?”

Your next favorite is on gⱯlnσν𝓮𝓁s．𝒸o𝗺

Burnet responded with a smile, “Yes, keep it.”

Silver Fox gave a noncommittal shrug. “I can arrange the collaboration between Minty Fragrances and Perfumes and the Hoffman Group. Just be aware that the returns might not surpass what I’m likely to spend.”

Burnet smiled again but did not speak further. Instead, he requested her number. Silver Fox promptly took out her phone and exchanged numbers with him. Once it was done, she exited the car and headed directly into the Palace Hotel.

Burnet watched her until she was out of sight and then turned his attention away. However, he didn’t depart right away. Using his hacking skills, he set out to investigate the phone number he had memorized.

He soon discovered that the number belonged to Ernst. Further digging revealed Ernst as a notorious playboy known among the affluent women of Bieber, currently linked romantically to someone named Sansa.

Burnet was baffled. How could Ernst, whom he considered a lowlife, be acquainted with Silver Fox? Their social circles and statuses seemed too disparate for them to even meet, much less share contact information.

Yet, the evident anger from Silver Fox suggested a close, albeit turbulent, acquaintance. Ernst had somehow provoked her significantly. What exactly was the nature of their relationship?

Intrigued, Burnet delved deeper into Ernst’s background and uncovered that Ernst was also a perfumer, currently competing in a contest held by Minty Fragrances and Perfumes. This revelation shed light on their connection.

However, it was perplexing that Silver Fox, the distinguished chief perfumer at Minty Fragrances and Perfumes, would have any personal dealings with Ernst, a mere contestant.

As Burnet pondered over this complexity, his curiosity only grew. He decided to take a more direct approach and hacked into Ernst’s phone, seeking answers.

Silver Fox had blocked Ernst on both her messaging app and phone, erasing any trace of him from her device, but Ernst had not reciprocated, leaving all their previous communications intact.

Burnet, after hacking into Ernst’s phone, scrolled through their entire chat history right from their initial encounter to the present. This deep dive into their exchanges illuminated the full picture for him.

Grasping the reality of the situation, Burnet felt a mix of disbelief and anger, his lips twitching involuntarily as he processed his emotions. He realized he had been misled by Silver Fox for quite some time.

She had claimed to be a lesbian—a statement Burnet had accepted, causing him considerable inner conflict and leading him to assume the role of just a friend. How had he forgotten about her frequent wild tales and unchecked remarks? Her deception now seemed blatantly obvious, and he imagined she must have secretly ridiculed his naivety.

His resentment deepened when he considered that Silver Fox had dated someone like Ernst, whom he deemed unworthy. Was it not clear to her that he, Burnet, was far superior to Ernst in every conceivable way?

Overwhelmed by a sudden surge of jealousy, Burnet impulsively sent Silver Fox a terse message: “You’re quite blind.”
