Anastasia suddenly spoke up shyly, “Let’s not bring him here. He can sleep in the same room as Nigel.”
At that moment, there was a slight intimate look that flashed across his dark eyes. “I get what you mean.”
Her face flushed slightly red as she rolled her eyes at him. “Exactly what sort of indecent thoughts are going on in your mind, huh?”
“The soundproofing here isn’t great, so I agree that Jared should stay with Nigel for the time being.” The smile on Elliot’s face deepened.
At that point, Anastasia was tempted to stick her head into the ground. Does he mean that I’m too loud in bed? I’m not!
At Villa No. 58, Sophia kept Arthur company and remained cooped up inside for the entire day. In the evening, he
headed out, and that was exactly what Sophia was waiting for. After all, she planned to sneak out to the ball and have some fun.
She was bored out of her mind, and she couldn’t stand being cooped up any further. She thought, Anyway, my mission of seducing him would definitely take more than one or two days to succeed. As such, she decided to cast aside this humiliating matter for now and prioritize enjoying herself.
She was quite regretful and wanted to yell at herself so badly. She thought, I shouldn’t have caused so much trouble for myself! It would have been so awesome to enjoy my freedom! Look at how restricted I am right now! I feel like a prisoner.
Currently, she had no freedom in every single move she made and had to tolerate his temper every day.
Sophia finished dinner by herself, and it was coincidental that she had dressed up nicely today, so it was perfect to attend the ball in her current attire. She wasn’t intending to seek an exciting or romantic affair. She was, in fact, merely seeking fun, and she wanted to go and have a relaxing time.
She took a golf cart and left for the party. There was melodious music that was audible from a banquet ball, and at that moment, there seemed to be a romantic feeling in the air.
As night fell, there were plenty of young men and women who flocked to the party. Each of them was dressed to the nines, and each of them looked charming and sexy.
The waitstaff held trays in their hands with champagne and red wine on them. They served the guests by going around the room.
As soon as Sophia entered the room, she instantly attracted the attention of many young men. One of them was quite excited and elated to see her, “Sophia, there you are.”
Sophia didn’t expect to bump into Jacob. Subsequently, she greeted him, “Hi, Jacob.”
“Why are you here by yourself? Where’s your boyfriend?” Jacob asked curiously.
Sophia finally found the chance to explain that matter, so she hurriedly spoke up to Jacob, “Jacob, you’ve misunderstood the situation. He’s not my boyfriend. We’re simply friends.”
At that moment, a look of joy flashed in his eyes. “Is that true? So, you guys are just friends, huh?”
She nodded firmly. “Yes.”
He couldn’t help heaving a relieved sigh upon hearing that. That means I still have a chance. The woman under the dim lights had a look of purity to her, which was quite a rare trait. Besides, the red evening gown she had on accentuated her innocence yet exuded a sexy feel. She was the type of woman men were wildly attracted to.
“Jacob, who’s this beautiful lady here?” Several young men came forward and looked at her with teasing looks in their eyes,
Jacob introduced her, “This is Sophia, and she’s my junior in school.” At the same time, he shot a meaningful glance at
them.
He seemed to be trying to say that he was interested in this woman, so they should stay away.
Jacob held a high position amongst the younger generation of Presgraves, and the men by his side were the younger generation of Presgraves, who were merely his sidekicks.
She trailed after Jacob and took a seat. At that moment, she saw the band that had just entered the room, and she exclaimed in surprise. It’s my favorite band!
Meanwhile, inside Villa No. 58, Arthur got out of his escorted car and entered the living room of the mansion. At that moment, he had a strong sense that she had sneaked out.
“Sophia,” Arthur called out, sullenly.
However, the only response he received was the slight howl of the breeze outside the window.
Arthur had a strong hunch about where
she was. After all, there was a ball on the island tonight, so he was quite sure that she must have sneaked out to join the party.
Arthur sat down on the couch. Normally, he enjoyed his personal quiet time the most, but right now, inexplicably, he felt quite frustrated.
He couldn’t help recalling her dressed in that skin-tight red dress today. Is she dressed like that to seduce men at the ball?
Naturally, even if that was her plan, it had nothing to do with him at all. He was just mad that she claimed to be keen on working for him, but then she went against her words the next moment and ignored his instructions.
