Chapter 971 Aspen silently swore that she was going to escape his clutches one day.
The instructor, Lily Williams, replied calmly, "Yoga is a practice that helps you relax. It's about becoming one with nature and your own body and mind. What it values is harmony between humanity and nature-letting things flow naturally.
"Ms. Stevens, your mind is clearly unsettled today. I think it's best we end your session here." Aspen thought for a moment, then nodded. "Alright. Thank you, Ms. Williams. I'll cback tomorrow." Lily smiled, then suddenly pointed outside the stuand said, "That gentleman is waiting for you again with flowers, Ms. Stevens. It's pretty obvious-he really likes you." Aspen turned her gaze toward the glass doors at the front of the studio. There stood Seth, holding a bouquet, dressed sharply and polished like a spoiled, wealthy heir straight out of a TV . His eyes glowed as he looked at her.

Aspen thought scornfully, 'He's nothing but a wolf in sheep's clothing pretending to be skind of gentleman! He might fool others, but not me. If he wants to stare, then go ahead and stare all he wants. He can look all day, but he'll never touch, let alone have me.' Seth always seemed to show up wherever she went-especially during her yoga sessions.
At first, Aspen did not think much of it. She assumed it was just another case of a man who could not take no for an answer.
Over time, she began to notice something off. Whenever she wore yoga leggings and moved through different poses, seductive and elegant in her own right, Seth would stand outside the glass doors, watching as if completely hypnotized.
One day, she even caught a shocking sight-he was visibly aroused. From that moment on, any minor curiosity or tolerance Aspen had for Seth turned into full-blown disgust and revulsion.
Still, she did not kick him out or snap at him. She continued to let Seth show up and trail her around like he always did.
Part of it was because she could not afford to offend the Haywood family. But deep down, Aspen had a plan brewing.
Maybe just maybe-Seth could beca way to get the Haywoods involved and help her escape the trap she was in. That said, the idea was not fully developed yet.

After changing, Aspen pulled her sheer stockings up to the top of her smooth thighs, slipped on a pair of white flats, and tucked the high heels she had worn to the office earlier into a bag. For the final touch, she threw on her cream-colored trench coat.
Just like that, Aspen walked out of the yoga stulooking like the picture of an elegant, powerful woman in the city-stylish, seductive, and undeniably magnetic. Several other students, both men and women, could not help sneaking glances at her.

"Aspen, you look amazing!" Looking as charming as ever, Seth ran a hand ver a er his perfectly gelled hair and handed her the flowers with a lovestruck smile.
Aspen did not take them. She shook her head and replied, "Mr. Haywood, thank you for the compliment, but you should know by now that I don't like getting flowers. Especially since we're both single-people are going to get the wrong idea." Seth's tone was full of conviction. “Aspen, you do know how I feel about you, right?" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
