“How dare you say that about me? Do you know who I am? I’m that guy’s friend.” Snowy pointed at Finn Taylor. ‘He must have some status to be sitting up there. I’m sure I’ll be able to scare this guy off by stating his name.’
Just as she expected, the two security officers were stumped.
There was no need to question Finn Taylor’s status in the bar.
‘If this woman is truly our boss’s friend, we’ll be in deep trouble.’ The two men quickly rushed up to verify it.
Seeing the anxious expressions on their faces, Snowy was delighted. ‘Timothy Taylor is chasing me. Since he’s respected here, I’ll be respected too.’
“Mr. Taylor, a woman is looking for you.”
Andre Cavill’s face immediately darkened as the security officer interrupted the men’s conversation. The former felt that he had to take responsibility for this. “Can’t you see that we’re busy here? Are you blind?”
Unexpectedly, Finn Taylor waved him off and glanced at the stairs. “I don’t know her. Chase her away.”
The security officer nodded. ‘I knew that woman was lying. How cunning! Does she really think that Mr. Taylor would fall for her? She must be daydreaming!’
As the security officers returned to the stairs, Snowy said smugly, “What, have you asked him about it? Can I go up now?”
“Go up? Have you lost your mind? Mr. Taylor says that he doesn’t even know you. Stop pretending and scram!”
‘He doesn’t know me?’ Snowy was dumbfounded. ‘I took the initiative to approach Timothy Taylor, but this is how he responds?’
Seeing that she wasn’t leaving, the security officers stepped forward to usher her away.
Snowy didn’t want to leave and shouted, “Timothy Taylor, stop putting on an act. Do you really not know me?”
Finn Taylor trusted everyone here, and they all knew that he went by the name of Finn Taylor in San Francisco. Although he had another name—Timothy Taylor—not many knew about it.
This meant that she probably knew the man, and this put the security officers in an awkward position.
Finn Taylor hated putting others in the spot, so he stepped in. “Oh, so what if I know you?”
“What, you stalked me all the way from Chicago to San Francisco, but you’re pretending not to know me now? What are you up to? Are you pretending to be cold and arrogant so that I’ll fall for you?”
Finn Taylor nearly burst out into laughter. “Pretending to be cold and arrogant? I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
“Aren’t you? So many men have tried to chase me, but you’re not outstanding. Hence, you’re trying to attract me by doing this.”
The man sneered.
“I think you’re imagining things. Chase her out.” He gave the order once more, and the security officers quickly stepped in.
Snowy naturally didn’t want to leave and started struggling.
Witnessing this, Lily quickly rushed up. “Don’t fight with them. Let’s go.”
‘Sigh. Women are so bothersome—especially these women who think so highly of themselves.’ He stood up and walked to the stairs. “Firstly, I have absolutely no interest in you. I definitely did not come to San Francisco because I wanted to chase you. Secondly, I’m here because I run this place. I’m not stalking you. Thirdly, I was engaged in a serious conversation earlier and didn’t even spare a glance at you. I wasn’t putting on an act to be cold and haughty. Lastly, we’ve only met twice. We’re not even friends, so please don’t use that word to describe our relationship. Of course, you might think that all men are your friends because of your special profession. I will respect that, but please leave.”
Each word was like a stab to Snowy’s heart, especially the last few words that seemed like the man was ridiculing her. ‘How could he say that I have a special profession! Everyone knows what that means!’
Snowy was incensed and had to resist the urge to punch him. “Timothy Taylor, you scumbag! You’re such a useless man. How dare you say that about me when you have a sugar mommy?”
The woman was so enraged that she could no longer hold her tongue.
As she said so, everyone turned to him. They knew that Finn Taylor relied on his wife’s earnings, but why didn’t they know about an old woman supporting him?
‘Since when did that happen? Who is that old woman she’s talking about?’
Finn Taylor smiled brightly. “Connor White is your uncle, right? Why don’t you ask him who I am? You might as well ask him who the old woman that picked me up is at the same time.”
‘Connor White.’ Snowy was in a daze. ‘How does he know my uncle’s name? Our family was only able to make a name for ourselves because of him! Does Timothy Taylor know my uncle?’
For some reason, Snowy suddenly felt that something was wrong, and she quickly made a call to her uncle. “Uncle, let me ask you a question. Do you know Timothy Taylor?”
Connor White was in the middle of grilling some meat, and he nearly burned himself when he heard his niece’s question. “Shh! You can’t just use his name like that!”
Snowy could sense her uncle’s nervousness. “Do you know him?”
“Know him? I’m just a dog to him!”
“What do you mean, Uncle? I don’t understand.”
“You don’t understand? Don’t you know what his identity is? He’s the young master of Chicago’s Taylor family and the only one in line to inherit the family. He’s also Master Peregrine!”
‘The young master of Chicago’s Taylor family, the only one in line to inherit the Taylor family, and Master Peregrine or Peregrine Hall?’ Snowy felt as though her head was about to explode as her uncle named the titles the man had. “Oh right, Uncle. I saw a woman of about 45 years old pick him up in a Bentley back in Chicago.”
“That should be his mother. She’s the family head—Wendy Jensen.”
‘The family head of Chicago’s Taylor family?’ When she heard that, Snowy nearly burst into tears. ‘The older woman is respected, yet I had turned her into nothing but a sugar mommy.’
‘What am I supposed to tell Timothy Taylor now?’ Snowy felt as though she was about to crumble as she hung up the phone.
