Tiana Thorne was toying with her wine glass, shifting slightly to the right, just missing Jesse Rivers’ gaze.
She squinted and looked at Julian Eas, gently biting her lip, and obediently said, "I’m going to the restroom, Mr. Vance, don’t go anywhere."
"Should I have Assistant Sutton accompany you?"
Tiana waved her hand dismissively, "There are no wolves or tigers here, Mr. Vance, no need to worry. I’ll be right back."
"Alright."
Then, Tiana got up and headed downstairs.
As she passed the bar, she saw a woman with exquisite makeup, dressed provocatively, seemingly looking around for a handso man to fulfill her lonely heart tonight.
Tiana walked over, keeping her head down so the woman couldn’t see her face, and said in a soft, gentle voice, "There’s a handso guy upstairs who wants to buy you a drink."
"Thank you." The woman seed very interested.
Tiana watched the woman’s graceful figure as she left, her smile betraying a hint of mischief, lazily remarking, "Consider it a favor returned to Mr. Vance, gifting him a beauty, surely it would make him happy."
Reeling in her thoughts, she then found another sowhat quiet spot to sit down and ordered a cocktail from the waiter.
Watching the n and won on the dance floor, sipping her drink, the bar, though full of earthly desires, suddenly seed a bit more pleasant in her eyes.
At that mont, she saw Aiden Shaw sitting down, not far from her, with his back to her.
Huh?
Wasn’t this guy here to find her? How co he’s more relaxed than she is?
Just then, an extrely beautiful woman walked over with a glass of wine.
Tiana was a bit curious about how Aiden Shaw would handle this wildflower.
The woman moved her lips, said sothing, and her initially confident face turned dark imdiately before she turned and left.
One, two, three, they all left like that, in the end, not one stayed.
Tiana curled her lips into a smile.
Tsk tsk.
Poor Aiden Shaw.
In the pri of his youth, full of charm, yet suffering from a mysterious illness that makes him avoid these beauties.
What a pity, what a pity.
It seems I need to think of a redy to properly treat him, so he can regain the glory of being a man sooner.
She blinked her eyes, then saw a rather handso man sit down next to Aiden Shaw.
A plan ford in Tiana’s mind, she picked up her wine glass and walked over, swaying gracefully.
Jesse Rivers looked around, unable to find the person he was seeking, and frowned slightly, "Fourth Young Master, did we perhaps find the wrong place?"
"No."
"But..."
Before he could finish his sentence, they heard a woman’s sweet and charming voice next to them, "Hey there, all alone?"
That voice...
Jesse Rivers and Aiden Shaw both looked over to see Tiana Thorne.
Tiana swirled the cocktail in her glass, her eyes slightly squinted, her alluring gaze causing hearts to tense up.
The man had never seen such a beautiful woman. Though her looks were striking, they weren’t at all vulgar, and he nodded imdiately, "Yes, I’m alone."
Tiana swirled her glass, gently tapping it against his, but didn’t imdiately pull back. The glasses softly rubbed together, producing a sound that was inexplicably enticing.
She squinted slightly and licked her lips again, "Do you know what is the most flavorful wine in the world?"
"I don’t know."
"Well then..." Tiana paused, raised her brows slightly, her eyes full of mischief, "Would you like to taste it?"
The man, completely captivated by her, nodded instinctively, "Yes."
Tiana smiled charmingly, "Then let help you fulfill that desire."
With that, Tiana took back her glass and brought it to her lips, throwing her head back for a long drink. Then, she used the glass to lift the man’s chin, leaning slightly forward, and lowered her head as if to kiss him.
Jesse Rivers could clearly feel the coldness emanating from the Fourth Young Master growing even icier, as if the next mont, he would snap Miss Tiana’s neck.
No,
He’d probably snap my neck before he’d snap Miss Tiana’s.
To save his own life, Jesse Rivers disregarded the stranger’s embarrassnt and seized Tiana’s wrist, pulling her back, fabricating a quick lie: "Miss, I’ve been searching for you everywhere. The young master wants you ho at once."
Tiana’s eyes glead with slyness, everything going according to her plan, swallowing the wine with a satisfied grin.
Using Jesse Rivers’ pull as leverage, Tiana deliberately fell into Aiden Shaw’s lap the mont she was released, wrapped her arms around his neck, and looked down at him, playing along with Jesse’s lie with a sweet, syrupy voice, "Bro~"
Jesse Rivers: "..."
Too embarrassing to watch.
Her scent mixed with the aroma of wine, causing Aiden Shaw’s back to stiffen slightly, but only for a mont, his voice cold and deep, "Get up."
Tiana, holding onto his neck with so force, whined, "Since you’re here to take ho, Fourth Brother, don’t be so cold and distant."
Fourth Brother...
Jesse Rivers blushed, inexplicably finding the term very sweet.
If Miss Tiana called the Fourth Young Master ’Fourth Brother’ a few tis each day, perhaps his illness would miraculously cure...
So, what exactly am I thinking?
Tiana could clearly feel sothing he was suppressing, like anger, and rembered that this man disliked being touched by others.
Just as he was about to erupt, she got up, imdiately creating a quiet distance between them, and raised her brow, "I’m going outside to sober up."
As she spoke, she didn’t forget to place her glass on the table next to the man still srized by her, smiling as she said, "Hey there, would you buy this drink?"
The man, completely enchanted, nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes."
Tiana smiled with closed lips and then quickly walked outside. Her slender silhouette inexplicably exuded an air of effortless grace.
Not until she was out of sight did the man slowly snap back to reality, staring at the glass Tiana had used, with a trace of lipstick on the mouth, his heart thrumming with feelings.
He saw it, and naturally, Aiden Shaw did too.
Aiden Shaw stood up and, faster than the man, grabbed the glass from the table, and turned away.
The man was displeased, but thinking the girl called him Fourth Brother, they must be siblings. He couldn’t say anything more, just had to swallow his frustration.
Aiden Shaw: "Jesse Rivers."
That voice was freezing enough to make one’s heart shiver involuntarily.
It seed the Fourth Young Master was truly upset.
"Here."
Aiden Shaw coldly ordered, "Pay for her tab too."
Jesse Rivers nodded respectfully, "Alright, I’ll take care of it."
With that, he passed by and went to settle the bill.
"Wait a mont."
Jesse Rivers turned back to look at him, "Fourth Young Master, is there anything else?"
Aiden Shaw looked down at the glass in his hand, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, "Buy this glass as well."
Jesse Rivers: "...Understood."
Is this perhaps the Fourth Young Master’s hint of possessiveness showing?
