Don't Fall For Me, CEO-Chapter 1167: There Will Be an Echo

The moment Kyle Keaton was kissed abruptly by July Quinn, he was slightly stunned.

But soon, he adapted and took control of the situation.

The weather was beautiful that day, with clear skies.

The streets were bustling with pedestrians, and cars occasionally passed by.

Yet there they were on such a street, kissing passionately.

After a long while, they ended the kiss.

Kyle Keaton held July Quinn in his arms, gently stroking her face, his voice unbelievably hoarse.

"So, what’s your answer?"

July Quinn seemed a bit lost.

The good mood from the kiss vanished immediately.

"So what exactly did you say to him?"

But July Quinn just tugged at his waist and mischievously replied, "You’ll have to guess."

Then, she decisively started the car and drove away.

Even when the car had driven a long distance, you could still hear Kyle Keaton shouting from the original parking spot.

"Are you not saying anything because you’re guilty? Could it really be that you’re into that guy named Roman? July Quinn..."

Meanwhile, in Roman Kidd’s car convoy—

Roman Kidd leaned against the car window, watching the unique scenery of Desrozin City fade into the distance.

He recalled July Quinn mentioning her reconciliation with Kyle Keaton, which was essentially a rejection for him.

Yet he stubbornly refused to give up, even suggesting to July Quinn not to reject him outright, if only to serve as a warning to Kyle Keaton to keep him in line.

Truly, if he hadn’t experienced it himself, Roman Kidd would never have believed such humble words would come out of his own mouth.

"Your Excellency, if your stomach hurts, you should take some antacid first."

At this moment, the attendant in the passenger seat handed him some antacid.

Roman Kidd hesitated for a moment but reached out to accept it.

Due to erratic eating habits and stress, his stomach had experienced several instances of bleeding, making spicy food unsuitable for him.

Every time he went to a Sichuan restaurant with July Quinn, he had to rely on antacid to ease the discomfort.

Just like now, having just left a Sichuan restaurant, he was in so much pain that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Even after taking antacid, it would still take some time for the stomach pain to subside.

Yet, he had to drag his body to a city over three hundred kilometers away for a meeting.

The attendant couldn’t stand watching this.

"Your Excellency, why not just tell Miss Quinn you can’t eat spicy food? I’m worried about your health otherwise..."

The pain took away half his life.

And he had to force himself to attend a meeting.

Even an iron body couldn’t withstand it.

But the man’s response was, "I can’t tell her."

The attendant secretly studied him through the rearview mirror.

The man’s dark eyes, gazing out the window, held a longing for this city.

But the attendant knew Roman Kidd did not belong to this city and actually despised its terrible climate conditions.

His attachment to this place was all because of that woman.

In fact, the attendant had realized Roman was caught up in it ever since he bought that woman’s coat.

For ordinary people, meeting someone they like within their limited lifespan is a blessing.

But Roman Kidd was not an ordinary person; he carried too many responsibilities.

Once he fell in love, it would be very troublesome.

Look at him now, shuttling between two places because of this terrible love?

And even worse, the object of his affection seemed never to reciprocate.

"But..." the attendant felt that instead of silently sacrificing, it would be better to be straightforward.

Perhaps the woman would be moved by His Excellency Kidd’s actions?

But Roman Kidd replied, "There’s no ’but.’ You don’t understand..."

Yes, the attendant would never understand that eating spicy food was the last link he had with July Quinn.

Despite all their interactions in the past month, only in the Sichuan restaurant would July Quinn talk to him openly.

If he told her he couldn’t tolerate spicy food, would he still have the chance to speak freely with her and strengthen their relationship?

Of course, he knew July Quinn was unlikely to respond to him.

But he also believed that what you constantly yearn for will eventually have an echo...
