Chapter 5 What to Pay This Time
Under the gaze of everyone, Ivy became the focus. They were amazed at the relationship between her and Charles. It seemed that overnight, their relationship became extraordinary.
Ivy herself was confused, because when she hit Jack, she was just angry and even prepared for the worst. However, she never expected Charles to appear, and she was not sure if he heard what she said.
When Charles' eyes met hers, Ivy felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to face it.
"Do I need to invite you in person?" Charles ' voice rang out in the box, his tone carrying unquestionable majesty.
At this moment, if the people in the box still couldn't see the subtle relationship between the three people, they would have lived in vain. They finally understood why Ivy dared to take action on Jack's territory. It turned out that she relied on Charles' support. However, whether this was a one-night stand or a long-term entanglement was unknown.
Lucas raised his lips slightly and motioned Ivy to come over, "Go and sit down, we are here."
Ivy took a deep breath, walked towards Charles resolutely , and sat down beside him. Things have changed. She was the object of everyone's ridicule just now, but now she is sitting in the main seat, overlooking everyone. Some people tried to get close to her, but seeing the situation in front of them, they had to shut up.
As soon as she sat down, the clear cold wood fragrance of Charles' body came to her nose, making Ivy straighten her back involuntarily.
Lucas glanced at the people standing nearby and found a seat to sit down. "Why are you all standing there? Weren't you having fun just now? Keep sitting down."
Jack was still standing there. He had just been scratched by Ivy and had wine splashed all over him. How could he swallow this anger? If Charles hadn't suddenly appeared, he would have subdued Ivy and vented his anger.
However, the current situation does not allow him to be so unbridled. Everyone looked at Charles 's face, as if Jack no longer existed.
The music started again, the waiters began to liven up the atmosphere, and everyone continued to immerse themselves in joy. After all, no one wanted to make this night awkward.
Lucas looked at Ivy with interest, secretly admiring this woman's extraordinary qualities. The fact that Charles personally came to her showed how important she was to Charles. However, Ivy did not seem to appreciate it, which surprised Lucas.
As the people around her started talking, Ivy breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, the man's breath sprayed behind her ear, "You are very brave. You dare to come to a place like this alone." Ivy shuddered all over. She didn't know when Charles had come so close.
Charles 's action was undoubtedly announcing to everyone: Ivy , this woman, now belongs to him, at least tonight.
Jack's eyes instantly turned red, "Brother Charles, for a woman, you don't even want your brother anymore?"
The box fell into silence again, the atmosphere was so tense that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone knew that the only people who could be friends with Charles were Lucas and the people in the imperial capital, and they were not qualified at all.
Someone tried to wink at Jack, but if he backed down at this critical juncture, he would never be able to hold his head up again.
Charles didn't even look at Jack , but Jack 's friend stood up, "That's enough, do you want to offend Charles ? Let's go." Jack shook off his friend and rushed forward to drag Ivy away. However , at this moment, Ivy was tightly embraced by a pair of iron arms. Charles 's glasses flashed under the light, and the bodyguard behind him quickly stepped forward and dragged Jack aside .
"Charles!!" Jack roared, but he could only struggle in vain.
"I helped you again. What will you give me in return this time?" Charles's hoarse voice sounded in Ivy's ears. She looked up and met his eyes. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he was sure that he would kiss her without hesitation.
Ivy clenched her fists. Charles ' words were full of hints, but she didn't understand why it was her again?
Lucas watched coldly from the sidelines, not intending to intervene. Seeing the situation escalate, someone stood up and said, " Charles , Lucas , I have urgent matters at the company, so I'm leaving first."
Seeing that Charles didn't respond, everyone stood up and prepared to leave.
"Why are you leaving?" Charles' voice sounded again, and everyone stopped walking. He lit a cigarette, looked at them and said, "We ordered so much good wine, wouldn't it be a waste if we don't drink it?"
"Yes, yes, let's finish our drink before leaving and not waste anything. Today's expenses will also be counted on us." Everyone echoed.
Ivy had no time to care about the toasts from these people at the moment, because Charles ' palm fell on her waist again, gently stroking the thin fabric. As an adult, it would be too boring for her to act stupid again.
" I didn't expect you to be so satisfied, but don't mention this kind of thing in front of outsiders in the future." Ivy tried to change the subject.
However, with a "boom!", she felt that the string of rationality in her mind was completely broken.
"I was just talking nonsense." Ivy explained hastily.
The man's eyes darkened instantly, "Nonsense?"
Ivy was stunned and almost bit her tongue, "That's not what I meant..."
"Have you thought about me in these seven days?" Charles did not continue the previous topic, but changed to a more direct question.
Ivy didn't answer. How could she have time to think about these things? Besides, she had never heard of a sex partner who would talk about it every day after the sex ended. There was no possibility of anything happening between them.
" I thought about it. You moaned...very nicely." Charles ' words made Ivy feel that this man was really good at talking. It was a simple sentence, but he made it full of erotic meaning.
"Charles, I remember that the financial magazine's evaluation of you was not like this. When you say that, I think your personality is a little broken." Ivy tried to defuse the embarrassment with humor.
"Why would I need a persona?" Charles sneered. "Those reports are all made up. I even think it's a waste of time to accept an interview."
Only this silly woman would believe those reports. Which man would be serious when flirting? He was no exception.
The two of them were talking as if no one was around, but in Jack's eyes, it was an affair that had already begun. He might have been treated as a living cuckold by the two of them behind their backs.
"Ivy! You bitch!" Jack roared.
"Bang!" The ashtray was thrown out and hit Jack's head directly, and blood immediately flowed down. Charles retracted his hand, the veins on his hand were still bulging, and a part of his wrist was exposed because of the movement. The watch on it had fallen on Ivy's body, making her shiver with cold; but at this moment, his kiss was so gentle that she gradually relaxed.
The memories of that night came flooding back, and Ivy found that she actually had a desire for Charles , and she didn't just treat him as an accident as she thought.
" It seems that I have given you face. Contact Mr. Williams and ask him to bring his son back." After Charles finished speaking, the people around him immediately went to do the work.
There were only two of them left in the box.
"What's your answer?" Charles asked again.
