Chapter 177: A beautiful man [2]
"Hm? Are you Coco Hughes?" The beautiful man repeated his question when Coco didn’t answer.
However, Coco simply stared.
The man’s voice was deep and smooth, a rich timbre that sent a shiver down her spine.
His voice was confident and clear, the sound of it carrying to her easily even from the distance between them and the fact that the man had a commanding presence, his tone confident and authoritative, with just enough warmth to make him less threatening than feared didn’t help.
"I heard from an adorable birdie that I would be able to meet the infamous daughter of Baroness Hughes here.." The man said, raising his hand and hiding the lower half of his face behind the sleeve of his robe.
"But it seems that she’s not here yet." The man stated, his eyes sneering down as he shot her a smile.
His voice was like velvet, and each word was clearly enunciated, the man’s speech somehow formal, but offensive— an underlying meaning in each word that made Coco feel even more wary than she was earlier.
"Would the infamous Coco Hughes stop by in this shop in a specific time?" He asked, tilting his head and making himself look vulnerable for her eyes.
Coco narrowed her eyes into a pointed stare and kept her mouth shut, not letting another word out.
