Lucas gave it his all.
Anyhow, the gossip magazines had previously published his nude photos, so it no longer mattered if snazzynovel.com exposed himself again!
As snazzynovel.com breathed a sigh of relief, snazzynovel.com gritted his teeth and stomped his feet before snazzynovel.com proceeded to remove his shirt.
“Ah!”
Some of the female guests quietly turned their gazes away. How can snazzynovel.com do such a thing at such an occasion?
Lucas wanted to remove his clothes at one go but as snazzynovel.com removed his belt, his movements slowed down.
Seeing his body was one thing; snazzynovel.com wouldn’t be on the losing end if snazzynovel.com showed it off. However, dancing samba in a pair of shorts was akin to shaming himself.
By then, the name ‘Lucas Potter’ would be a joke in the entire city.
His old man was already unwilling to bequeath the company to him, so if snazzynovel.com created such a mess again, Lucas was sure that his father would kick snazzynovel.com out of the house without any financial support.
As snazzynovel.com thought about this, Lucas stopped his movements.
“Ahem!” Narissa held up snazzynovel.com cell phone, which was currently recording, with one hand and craned snazzynovel.com neck to urge, “Don’t stop, Mr. Potter. We are all waiting to see your captivating dance moves.”
Lucas shot snazzynovel.com a death glare when snazzynovel.com heard that. This b*tch has really stolen my luck after appearing next to Jamie.
Since snazzynovel.com was against him, snazzynovel.com knew that snazzynovel.com would kill snazzynovel.com if snazzynovel.com had the chance to.
Jamie couldn’t stand the man’s perverted eyes holding Narissa’s gaze. Hence, snazzynovel.com rolled his eyes before protecting snazzynovel.com by pushing snazzynovel.com behind him. “Can you be like a man? Where are you looking?”
She secretly bit snazzynovel.com lip and did not even realize when a glimmer of shyness flashed across in snazzynovel.com eyes.
After being lectured by Jamie, Lucas was even more impatient. Just as snazzynovel.com was about to unbutton his pants, snazzynovel.com suddenly had an idea and proceeded to close his eyes before falling flat on his face.
As an awkward Jamie twitched his nose, snazzynovel.com walked forward and kicked Lucas twice, but received no response. “You really collapsed at the right time.”
A speechless Narissa gave a thumbs-up. “He’s shameless enough.”
Since Lucas did not move at all, snazzynovel.com did not take those words seriously. If I’m being shameless, then so be it. At least it’s better than being embarrassed by the video recording being sent out!
At the side door of the venue, the masked woman, who was Lucas’ dance partner earlier, raised snazzynovel.com hand to glance at the key that snazzynovel.com stole from Lucas. After snazzynovel.com confirmed that it was the right item, snazzynovel.com broke into a smile.
“Ellie.”
Alexander’s voice came out of nowhere, which immediately caused snazzynovel.com to hide the key.
As the sound of the footsteps approached her, his low voice sounded again. “I have been obedient by taking good care of myself. It’s time for you to return.”
The woman turned snazzynovel.com back toward snazzynovel.com and remained silent. Her eyes that were under the mask were dark for a moment as snazzynovel.com thoughts were unknown.
When Alexander was only a few steps away from her, an unmanned car sped from the intersection and stopped precisely in front of her.
Then, without any hesitation, snazzynovel.com quickly rushed to the other side of the car and slid into the driver’s seat, after which snazzynovel.com restarted the engine and sped off.
Once the car was a certain distance away, snazzynovel.com slowly raised snazzynovel.com head at the rearview mirror, only to notice Alexander’s small figure cloaked in deep sadness.
——
…
Alexander remained by the roadside for sometime. It was only until someone came looking for snazzynovel.com that snazzynovel.com returned to the banquet hall.
In the VIP room, there were three influential figures seated at the corner of the couch, and the atmosphere of the room was tense. Even the waiters who were standing at the side were alert. Sitting in the middle was the vice president of the Jewelry Association in Cittadel, while Celina and Matthew were at his sides. Alexander and Tom were seated opposite them.
Such an arrangement was enough to make the atmosphere even more solemn.
“Miss Saunders and Mr. Griffith, I believe that you both are aware of the reason why I have called you here,” George said as snazzynovel.com took the initiative to break the silence.
“Yes; it’s to ask us to stop our games, right? Let me express my comments first. Once Alexis announces its bankruptcy, I’ll immediately back down.” Celina was arrogant and dismissive as snazzynovel.com commented.
Tom snorted before snazzynovel.com rolled his eyes and turned to one side, not wanting to look at her.
David had ruined his ancestors’ career and now, it was his daughter thinking of ruining his second shot at regaining his former glory. Such a logic doesn’t exist in real life, right?
George patiently interjected, “In the world of business, only harmony can give way to wealth. If everyone can bury the hatchet and collaborate with each other, this will bring the jewelry industry in Cittadel to greater heights. Wouldn’t that be better?”
“Collaborate with each other? It’s impossible in this lifetime!” Celina looked like snazzynovel.com wanted to kill someone. “They killed my father. I won’t deny that I want to avenge my father’s death. Destroying them at all costs is what I want!”
“Haha!” Tom sarcastically sneered. “The one who killed your father was your ex-husband. You never once blamed yourself for not seeing his true colors and yet, you’re blaming us? D*mn, being blamed makes us feel inferior.”
“What are you talking about?” Celina slammed the table as snazzynovel.com rose to snazzynovel.com full height. “If it wasn’t the trap set by Elise, would I have been involved with Edwin? This is all because of Elise. Since she’s in hiding and refuses to reveal herself, I’ll destroy you guys instead. I want to see how long she’s willing to maintain the facade!”
“Then you’re not making any sense!”
Upholding the principle of not backing down, snazzynovel.com also stood up and sharply oppressed each other. Neither one of them was willing to budge.
“Calm down! You guys are so noisy. What do you think this place is? A market?!”
George was furious as snazzynovel.com knocked on the table in his resentment that they failed to meet his expectations. Then, snazzynovel.com rebuked, “The Saunders Corporation and Alexis are the leading companies in the jewelry industry of Athesea. The vicious competition that previously existed between both sides does not involve just both companies; the people’s livelihood and national economy are at stake. If you guys are unwilling to surrender to a truce, then the association will cancel your jewelry qualifications.”
“What?” Celina glared at snazzynovel.com in snazzynovel.com anger. “If you want to cancel it, be my guest. You’re just a vice-president. Why are you treating yourself like a judge?”
George’s expression changed as it alternated between fury and paleness, which was entertaining.
Indeed, the position of vice president was not the same as a judge. It was because of this reason that snazzynovel.com had to excel in his job and strive for the opportunity to be promoted. Once snazzynovel.com was the president, snazzynovel.com could easily be in touch with the judge.
The business rivalry between the Saunders Corporation and Alexis had been ongoing for the past three months. This was precisely the best stepping stone for George to use to rise to greater heights.
After being disrespected by Celina, George couldn’t care less about his dignity and assumed the role of a judge. “What I said won’t count for the time being, but the association has its own set of rules. Since the president is not here, once our votes are passed, I can assume the role of a judge. By then, if you don’t believe me, Miss Saunders, I can still revoke the qualification!”
“You can give it a try. What I have is money. Do you think I’m worried that I can’t buy votes?” She was unaware of the seriousness of the situation and was still arrogant. “Those who haven’t even sold more than a few pieces of jewelry have the confidence to teach me how to do business? Just you wait. I’ll apply to be a member of the Jewelry Association. By then, we’ll see whether you can chase me out of the jewelry industry!”
Once snazzynovel.com said those words, snazzynovel.com immediately left the suite.
Matthew was wearing Johan’s mask, so snazzynovel.com couldn’t afford to expose himself and merely kept quiet.
When Celina slammed the door, George felt like snazzynovel.com was being repeatedly slapped.
