CHAPTER 410: CHAPTER 410: CHARM

Especially this man, who is none other than Julian Hawthorne, a paragon among men, outstanding in appearance and from a prominent family background. Even with her countless experiences, Alisa had to admit that Julian Hawthorne was an exceptional man who could make any woman’s heart flutter.

A man like that is a perfect match for Alisa, he should have always been hers.

Previously, Julian was cold to her simply because she hadn’t gone all out to seduce him yet.

Now that she was putting in the effort, she didn’t believe that as such a sexy woman strutting back and forth in front of Julian, he could remain indifferent.

Sooner or later, he would lose control. After all, men have that inherent weakness, and not even someone as exceptional as Julian Hawthorne is an exception.

She had found out that the woman currently by Julian’s side is a stiff person who only knows how to bury herself in a laboratory doing research and can’t even dress properly. How could such a woman capture a man’s heart and drive him crazy?

With Paige Sterling as a contrast, wouldn’t her own sexy allure be even more irresistible?

If Julian Hawthorne isn’t moved by her, then he’s not a real man.

Alisa, full of confidence, not only flaunted her beauty but also showcased her impressive figure and feminine charm to Julian Hawthorne.

Yet, after she finished speaking, she discovered that Julian merely cast her a nonchalant glance and asked, "Miss Alisa, have you made up your mind? Will you sell that piece of land to the Hawthorne Group?"

Alisa stiffened, slightly disgruntled, saying, "Talking business right from the start, President Hawthorne, isn’t that a bit harsh? Can’t we take it slow?"

She stood up, wanting to approach Julian Hawthorne, but recalling the incident where Julian vomited on her last time, she eventually stopped a meter away from him, leaned against the table, and gave a seductive smile.

"President Hawthorne, don’t you think you should be a bit more enthusiastic if you want something from me? Acting so cold... I really don’t like it one bit."

Her voice was perfectly modulated, combined with her enchanting gaze; she believed it could easily make any man lose his composure.

Yet Julian Hawthorne remained as immovable as a mountain on the sofa, while Secretary Jones stood behind him like a statue, completely ignoring Alisa’s attempts, absorbed in his own paperwork.

Julian wanted the land, but that didn’t mean he had to accept a woman’s coquettish antics.

Seeing that Julian treated her like she was invisible, Alisa’s expression became increasingly rigid.

No matter how much Julian Hawthorne was playing hard to get, there was no need to act this detached, right?

She had never encountered a man so oblivious to romance. While her face looked somewhat displeased, her desire for conquest only grew stronger. She felt that if she didn’t get this man in her lifetime, her life would be incomplete.

So she sat opposite Julian Hawthorne, slowly lifting one leg over the other.

The skirt she wore was already short, and this action...

Yet Julian still didn’t look.

She glared at Julian, "President Hawthorne, could it be that I’m so ugly you don’t even want to take another look?"

Julian finally raised his head, "Miss Alisa is quite self-aware."

Alisa, "..."

Julian Hawthorne really thought she was ugly?

What a joke!

Alisa held herself to the highest standards regarding her looks and figure. To achieve her desired perfection, she had undergone surgery for any area she found unsatisfactory. Now, whether it was her body or face, she could guarantee there was no woman on earth who could compare.

So how could she possibly be ugly?

"President Hawthorne, you really have a sense of humor."

Julian’s gaze remained cold and unmoved, "Do come back when Miss Alisa is ready to handle business seriously, Secretary Jones, see our guest out."

Secretary Jones nodded, gesturing courteously towards Alisa, "Miss Alisa, please."

But Alisa acted as if she hadn’t heard, "President Hawthorne, you know, no man has ever been as cold to me as you are, but the more you are like this, the more I can’t stop myself. I have to admit, in terms of romance, you’re a master, I’m ensnared by you, and can’t leave..."

She cautiously approached Julian, attempting to test his limits, but found that Julian looked at her with an odd expression, as if suppressing something.

Alisa’s eyes sparkled with excitement. Finally, had this man’s restraint broken?

She deliberately asked, "President Hawthorne, why are you looking at me like that? Have you finally realized the deadly attraction I have for you?"

Yet Julian replied, "I advise you not to come any closer; when faced with a hideous woman, I feel like throwing up."

Alisa’s expression stiffened. Seeing Julian’s seemingly genuine nauseated look, she felt her ego once again took a hit, making her feel discomforted, she hastily retreated.

"President Hawthorne, this trick is entertaining once, but the second time, it’s not interesting anymore." Alisa, trying to salvage her pride, flirtatiously flicked her hair, "President Hawthorne, I don’t believe you’re not interested in me."

Julian, "I’m only interested in that piece of land of yours."

Alisa, "...", was her charm even less than a piece of land?

She couldn’t believe it.

Julian added lightly, "I sincerely want to do business with Miss Alisa, but the coquettish acts, I hope Miss Alisa refrains from doing, as it spoils my mood to cooperate with you."

Coquettish acts?

Julian Hawthorne actually said she was acting coquettish?

Alisa’s perfect cheeks nearly collapsed.

"President Hawthorne, I am not one of those women from outside trying to attach themselves to someone, using such words towards me isn’t quite appropriate, is it?"

Because she was wealthy herself, seducing a man wasn’t considered trying to marry up, shouldn’t be looked down upon, should it?

To tell the truth, Julian felt that Alisa was being a bit low, treating men like prey, using her body to prove her charm—it was none of Julian Hawthorne’s concern.

But Alisa was employing this tactic on him. After he had clearly rejected her and she still continued her coquettish antics, he indeed felt a bit nauseous.

Seeing Julian not speaking, Alisa continued, "I genuinely admire President Hawthorne’s talent. Only a man as exceptional as you is worthy to stand shoulder to shoulder with me. I believe President Hawthorne will never find a woman as outstanding as Alisa by your side again, so President Hawthorne, you should definitely consider being with me. Together, we can form a powerful alliance, build a robust business empire, create a business legend; you can have both career and beauty. Aren’t you tempted?"

She began to slowly approach Julian again, "I know President Hawthorne is a man who’s faithful in love. I can promise you, regardless of how many men I may have had before, from now on, I’ll only have you, be loyal to you, and as long as President Hawthorne is also faithful to me, we can become a model couple in others’ eyes, akin to a celestial couple. I have the means to help President Hawthorne become the most successful man in the world..."

For someone else, these words might indeed be quite enticing.

But listening to them, Julian Hawthorne only found them ironic.

She’s just another woman with no real ability but high self-regard, always thinking she can become a significant part of a man’s life and accomplish a man’s success.

Yet she doesn’t consider if she truly had that capability, why hadn’t she turned herself into a legend?

In the end, it was just about lacking self-awareness. Not only that, but she also wanted to brainwash others, making them believe she was capable too.

Seeing a slightly outstanding man, she expected him to worship her, and if he didn’t, then he was playing hard to get. She would shamelessly cling to prove her charm.
