That low chuckle resounding right in her ear made Demi frown as multiple shivers ran down her spine.
'Pervert!' She cursed him inwardly as she moved the phone away from her tingling ears to lessen the effect his magnetic voice seemed to have on her.
Holding the phone at a respectable distance, Demi scoffed at his reaction which proved that he was avoiding her earlier question.
By now, no matter how clueless the men with Demi were about what the hell was going on, they had reached a reasonable conclusion after putting together the bits and pieces of information they learned until now.
This was especially true for Devon, the youngest man in the room, as he stared at the woman sitting next to him.
Demi was sitting to his left and had held the phone towards him so Devon had the best spot in the room if he wished to listen in on the conversation taking place.
Hence he was also the first to make sense of the situation and realize that his dependable Big Sister figure was already engaged.
'And that woman is trying to break them up...' He recalled and glanced in the direction of the intruder who was still being held in place by the bodyguards.
'What kind of a person is her fiance?' He wondered and soon concluded that whoever that man was, he wasn't a good person.
After all, there was this strange woman close to the fiance who was brazen enough to rush in and demand that Demi break off the engagement.
A wave of pity filled his heart as he diverted his gaze to the woman sitting next to him and stared at her with a complicated look in his eyes.
Everyone present in the room had their attention focused on Demi and the phone in her hand, hence they had missed the heartbroken expression on his face.
However, one person had caught sight of this subtle change in Devon's face and annoyance filled their mind.
At the same time, the low chuckle coming through the phone came to an abrupt end.
"And how many times have I told you that she isn't my toy?" The man on the phone finally replied in a serious tone which gave no room for rebuttal.
"Hmph!" Demi simply scoffed at his choice of words.
In the past, he would simply state that he had no toys but this time, he had changed his words and spoke up in defense of the woman who had broken into their private room and caused a scene.
This only made her roll her eyes and she had no intentions of trusting even a single word coming out of this man's mouth.
"And I bet that you cannot say the same about those boytoys you are with right now, can you?" The man added when he noticed the silence.
Gone was the amusement which was evident in his voice earlier and in its place was this sense of danger which made many straighten their backs.
"Boytoys?"
This time it was Demi's turn to chuckle when she heard the accusations coming from the other side.
As though she did not hear the danger in his tone, she let out a hearty laugh but very soon, a smirk formed on her lips as she nodded while slowly turning to her right,
Devon, startled that she had suddenly turned in his direction, did not know what to do and could only stare back at her when he noticed her gaze landing on his face.
"At least my toys are obedient~" Demi dragged out her words as she leaned closer towards the youngest man in the room whose eyes had widened upon hearing her words.
He wasn't the only one as everyone else in the room also froze at the unexpected words coming out of this woman's mouth.
Thus they watched in a daze as Demi leaned closer as her slender finger slid across his cheek before it finally rested right below his chin.
Devon, without a doubt, knew that his cheeks had turned a bright red thanks to how hot they felt.
Whether it was due to embarrassment or excitement at being called a 'toy', even he wasn't so sure about.
However, what he did know was that Demi was dangerously close to him as he could feel her breath fan over his lips.
"Isn''t that right?" This time her question was aimed at him just as her lips curved into a seductive smile .
This smile only caused his overheated brain to burn up once again and in his daze, the young man could only respond by nodding his head in reply, agreeing to whatever she had just said.
This action of his made the rest to choke up when they realized that he had shamelessly agreed that he was Demi's obedient boytoy without even a single moment's hesitation.
Jamie's eyes almost fell out of their sockets after witnessing this shocking sight and the rest of their group had similar reactions.
No one dared to make a sound and only watched as Demi's ridiculously seductive smile only got brighter after she saw Devon nod in answer.
They collectively felt pity for Devon's heart which was beating so loud that they could hear it right from where they sat.
'She is going to give him a heart attack!' One of the men worried about the health of the youngest who had no experience in such matters.
Thankfully, before Devon could faint, the people in the room were distracted by a loud crack that echoed in their ears.
However, though they glanced around, they could not find the source of this sound and before they could investigate further, they heard the man speaking up after his long silence.
"When were you planning to tell me that you were back in the country?" He interrogated, his voice colder than it had ever been since the beginning of this conversation.
"I don't remember having to report my schedule to you, now do I?" Demi matched his tone and shot another question right back at him.
She was in no mood to play nice with this man and hence, she decided to put an end to their conversation.
Finally leaning away from Devon, she went back to her laid-back position as she reclined on the couch and moved the phone close to her ear.
Before she could begin speaking, a loud and seemingly helpless sigh was heard coming through the phone followed by the sounds of papers shuffling around.
"I'll be back in the city the day after tomorrow. Clear your schedule for lunch." He stated and his words made it clear that he was not asking for her opinion but rather was letting her know what she had to do.
His absolute tone which indicated that she had no choice but to obey his words only brought an instant frown on her face.
"Busy." She rejected his plans with a defiant tone and was about to hang up on him but stopped in her tracks upon hearing what he had said in the very next second.
