(Eleanor's POV)
My whole body went cold at the sound.
I turned around slowly and my eyes met a man behind me.
My stomach dropped and disappointment tucked beneath my chest.
It wasn’t even Lucian, like I’d expected.
Rather, it was a man in his late forties with an expensive suit and his hair swept back.
But the look in his eyes left my entire body feeling itchy.
The greed that spilled out of them made me uncomfortable to my stomach.
Like he was already looking at me to calculate how much I was worth.
These were definitely the kind of men my father used to do business with.
And from the look on his face, I could tell that young women were definitely his thing.
A sinister smile broke out across his face as he stepped closer to me.
“Well, well,” he said.
Hi
