Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld

Susanne trailed behind Zoe and Gregory as they strolled into the mall. Seeing them, Susanne quickly ducked her head, her face flushing bright red. She thought to herself, 'Lela seems to be about my age. How can she just kiss a guy like that?' Her heart pounded, feeling like her brain was about to short-circuit. She couldn't resist sneaking another peek. There he was, that insanely handsome guy, holding Lela tight, pressing her against the edge of the wishing fountain, kissing her like there was no tomorrow. It was a kiss that could make anyone's knees weak. And Lela was totally into it, holding onto him, tilting her head to kiss him back. Susanne muttered, "Lela is so shameless."

Sylvester felt a creepy stare on him. While still kissing Lela, he glanced sideways, his eyes dark and menacing, locking onto Susanne standing at the mall entrance.

Startled by his intense gaze, Susanne quickly looked away and bolted into the mall. Once inside, she patted her chest, trying to calm down, thinking, 'That guy is so hot, but his eyes are terrifying.'

Gregory noticed her distress. "Susanne, are you okay? Feeling sick?"

Susanne shot him a look, disgusted by his unattractive face. "None of your business." With that, she marched further into the mall. But with every step, she couldn't stop replaying that kiss in her mind. Her face turned red again without her even realizing it.

Back at the entrance, Lela pressed her tongue against Sylvester's, then pulled back, panting, her voice soft and sweet. "Again?"

A flicker of desire crossed Sylvester's eyes. He wanted to tease her and said in a deep voice, "I heard couples who kiss by the wishing fountain stay together forever. Don't you want that, baby?"

Lela looked up at him, her eyes still misty from the kiss. "Then build me a big wishing fountain at home, and I'll kiss you every day, okay?"

Sylvester chuckled. "I'd love that."

The mall was huge and decked out in luxury. Everything inside was high-end, international brands, the kind most people wouldn't even think about buying because of the crazy prices.

Sylvester led Lela straight to Rino Technique. Jason Cooper was already waiting upstairs, looking nervous. Sylvester was a big deal, someone the Rino Technique CEO, Goy, had personally called about, telling Jason to treat him like royalty. Jason wasn't about to mess this up. "Sir, Miss, which phone model are you interested in?"

Lela reached out to Sylvester. "Sylvester, give me your phone."

He raised an eyebrow, handed it over, and Lela said to Jason, "I want the couple's version of this phone."

Seeing the custom-made, one-of-a-kind Rino Technique phone, Jason immediately knew who he was dealing with. This was Sylvester from the Gomez family in Central City. No wonder even Goy was scared to cross him.

Jason's attitude became even more respectful, apologizing, "Miss, this is a custom model, the only one in the world. What about..."

"No couple's version?" Lela looked disappointed.

Sylvester then said, "Then have them custom-make a ladies' version."

Jason didn't dare argue and quickly nodded. "Yes, I'll get on it right away."

Sylvester's tone was firm. "You have three days."

Jason nodded again. "Yes." He knew better than to disobey Sylvester.
