Love Drug Novel

From the moment Summer stepped inside , her g gaze instinctively landed on the man seated closest to the stage .

That table was surrounded by men of extraordinary bearing , encircled by a dazzling array of women in exquisite gowns and flawless makeup It was no surprise that the first person she noticed was Fraser .

He stood out far too much .

His profile was like a masterpiece , sculpted with precision .

His thick brows , deep set eyes , and sharply defined nose bridge .

formed a strikingly aggressive handsomeness .

He lounged in the main seat , broad shoulders draped in a custom tailored suit .

A meticulously tied bowtie adored his collar , the crisp lines of his jacket tapering at the waist , leading down to long legs clad in pitch black trousers .

Even amidst the dazzling brilliance of the evening , he lost none of his radiance .

It had been nearly a month since Summer last saw him .

Their lives had ceased to intersect .

Now , as she stood there , she found herself frozen , eyes locked onto his figure without warning .

Perhaps her stare was too intense.

The next moment , Frasers idle gaze drifted over the crowd and briefly swept past her .

It lasted no more than a few seconds , a fleeting glance that barely lingered before slipping away indifferently , as if he had not even registered who she was .

Summer could not quite describe what she felt All she knew was that his dark , fathomless eyes felt unbearably distant , so foreign that even he , as a whole , seemed utterly unreachable .

Yvette tugged at her arm .

Summer , did you see it ? Thats Fraser ! And right beside him , thats Leann Burke , this years Oscar- winning actress ! Look at her ! Shes practically throwing herself at him ! When Summer did not respond , Yvette turned her head , only to find her friends face unsettlingly pale .

Assuming Summer was seething with anger , she gritted her teeth and , without hesitation , pulled her through the crowd , straight toward the table .

By the time Summer snapped out of it , they were already standing before the table nearest the stage .

A moment of silence , Every pair of eyes at the table turned to them , sizing them up .

Yvettes gaze flickered across the scene .

The people here were the elite of Havenbrook .

All powerful and untouchable .

A single word from them could crush her career before it even started .

For a brief second , doubt crept into her mind .

But when she thought of Summer , she straightened her spine , forcing herself to stand tall Her eyes moved from Leann to the regal man seated at the main seat of the table .

She said with a smirk , Hah ! Why does this man look so much like my best friends boyfriend ? The atmosphere shifted .

Interest sparked in every gaze .

Even Leann , the Oscar winning actress who commanded attention wherever she went , had only been acknowledged by Fraser as a mere companion tonight , never a girlfriend .

Fraser lifted his eyes lazily , his deep , unreadable gaze brushing past the two women with a faint trace of amusement .

His voice , low and smooth , carried a touch of mockery .

I dont recall having a girlfriend Leanns eyes settled on the woman before her .

Leann was the reigning darling of the Oscars and the global brand ambassador for one of Graham Groups top labels .

When she learned that the bossman of the Graham family would be attending tonights charity gala , she seized the opportunity These high society events always called for a female companion , and so she had personally asked her agent to arrange for her to be his date .

She had not expected much .

But to her astonishment , the Graham Groups special assistant had conveyed his agreement .

She had been ecstatic .

Tonight , she had meticulously crafted her appearance , determined to leave an impression on him .

Yet , despite her efforts , the bossman remained distant .

His gaze was cold , his demeanor aloof , as if she were no more than an afterthought .

Still , Leann was not disheartened.

Even without his attention , simply sitting beside him had made her the envy of the entire room .

The way they looked at her , those glances filled with admiration and longing , far surpassed the satisfaction of winning an Oscar .

After all , Frasers name alone was synonymous with absolute power .

Summers clear , unwavering gaze remained locked onto Fraser .

Then , without a trace of emotion , her eyes flickered to Leann She was even more breathtaking in person than on screen .

Summer had never watched her films .

But she had heard enough from Merry on how Leann was more than just a pretty face , how her talent was undeniable , how she was often hailed as every mans ultimate dream .

And now , she sat beside Fraser .

They looked perfect together .

Even though Summer had long known that the woman destined to be Frasers wife would never be her .

But seeing them together , so perfectly matched , like a picture of elegance and charm , somehow made Summers eyes sting with an inexplicable pain .
