The Power of Persuasion      

Seraphina parked the car in front of the house and turned to Xin. "Stay here. Let me talk to him alone first. If he sees you with me, he might think that I'm trolling him too."

"Are you sure? If it's too much trouble . . ." Xin began, concerned for Seraphina's wellbeing.

"It's no trouble at all," Seraphina cut him off, her voice firm. She stepped out of the car and made her way to the front gate.

Xin watched as she rang the doorbell, worry clouding his thoughts, not for Seraphina, but for the man inside the house, who was about to face her.

The man hurriedly emerged from his home, his eyes widening in sheer disbelief and admiration when he spotted Seraphina standing outside his gate.

His heart skipped a beat, and his eyes turned into hearts at the sight of the gorgeous woman before him.

In all his life, he had never encountered someone who resembled a goddess so closely.
