Chapter 2628

– That day, Eliza’s hair was in a sleek ponytail to make it easier to play badminton. She
wore black leggings, a purple sports T-shirt, and white sports shoes. Her delicate and clean ankles
were revealed.

Eliza’s badminton skills were not bad. When she bent her waist, Chester could see her nicely-shaped
bottom from his position. Sometimes when she jumped, her chest looked good too.

It was not that Chester had not touched them before. He was familiar with every part of her body.

Maybe it was because he had not been with a woman lately.

He took a cigarette, lit it up, and took a few drags.

Freya, who was opposite him, was unhappy looking at him. She hinted at Eliza with her eyes in secret.

Eliza was speechless.

She did not really understand.

Not long after, she saw Freya hitting a high overhand shot.

She turned around to chase after the shuttlecock and receive it. When she saw the shuttlecock failing
in Chester’s direction, she immediately figured it out.

To not disappoint Freya’s efforts, Eliza pretended to try to receive the shuttlecock. Her racket swung at
the cigarette in Chester’s hand with a loud sound.

The cigarette was hit, and it fell to the ground. Some sparks fell on Chester’s arm and burned him. He
quickly stood up and dusted the sparks off his arm.

However, a large patch on the delicate back of his hand was reddened.



When Chester raised his head, his eyes behind the lenses were utterly ruthless. “Don’t you have
eyes?”

Eliza’s little face darkened.

Freya quickly approached them. “Ah, I’m sorry, President Jewell. It’s all my fault. I missed. I shouldn’t
have hit the shuttlecock in your direction.”

“What’s wrong?”

Ryan and his friend were walking over from the arena’s entrance together.

Seeing that his girlfriend was apologizing to someone else, he quickened his steps and walked to
Freya’s side. “What happened?”



Freya pouted aggrievedly. “My shuttlecock accidentally landed on President Jewell just now. Eliza was
single-mindedly thinking of receiving it and didn’t pay attention, so she hit President Jewell’s cigarette.”

“It’s okay.” The ruthlessness in Chester’s eyes faded. He spoke indifferently.

“President Jewell is forgiving. He won’t take this matter to heart.” Ryan patted Freya’s head gently. He
knew his girlfriend’s temper well. He was clear whether she did it on purpose or not.

However, he felt that Freya was too rash. She managed to vent her anger for that moment, but it would
make Chester target Eliza more.

“Smoking is not allowed in the arena.” Suddenly, the man who came with Ryan spoke, “It’s written on
the wall that smoking is prohibited.”



The few people immediately looked toward him.

The man who spoke looked similar in age to Ryan. He had a buzz cut, and his skin tone was slightly
darker. However, his sharp eyebrows were striking, and his nose was tall. His features and silhouette
were well-defined. There was a kind of sharpness about his brows and eyes.

What was rarer was that the person had a straight back and a tall body. He was like a sharp blade that
was out of its sheath.

Eliza was stunned. She met that person’s gaze for a few seconds. Then, she quickly averted her gaze.

“Ryan, is this your friend?” Freya’s eyes brightened. “Quick. Introduce him.”

Ryan saw Freya’s gaze. He felt stuffy for a few seconds before saying, “This is Max Langston, my
classmate. We’re studying Ph.D. together.”

A moment of deep thought flashed across Chester.

“You’re so tall.” Freya shook Max’s hand. She was taken aback. There were many calluses on his
hand, but those calluses did not seem to come from frequent laborious work. It looked more like the
ones she saw at the official residence…
