Rodney also did not dare to dodge. As such, he could only take the beating like a punching bag.
“Cate, I didn’t eavesdrop. ” Shaun went over and pulled Cate’s hand with innocent eyes.
“Is that so?” Cate smiled, but the words that left her red lips did not sound warm at all. “I don’t believe you.”
Shaun fell silent before saying, “Actually, I don’t think I bought that much. There’s no need to give them away.”
When she thought of the amount of those at home…
No matter how thick-skinned she was, her face still flushed a little.
“And you said you didn’t eavesdrop? You clearly heard everything.” Cate also pinched the flesh on his waist mercilessly.
“Shaun, you’re so petty.” Rodney scolded from the side. “Be careful you don’t die of exhaustion in bed.”
” I won’t. I’m not like you, who doesn’t even have the chance to die of exhaustion,” Shaun retorted.
Rodney seemed deeply insulted, and the atmosphere instantly turned icy.
“You guys better watch yourselves.” Cate did not want to stay as she felt that it was too humiliating to argue over such things. She said her goodbyes to Eliza and Mireya and left with her bags.
“Babe…”
Shaun hurriedly followed after Cate.
“I’m leaving too. I’ll call you when I have time. ” Eliza did not have a good impression of Rodney and Chester, and she did not want to get acquainted with them either. Hence, she left quietly.
Chester’s eyes glinted, and he waved his hand at Rodney. “You guys can continue.”
Then, he left as well.
Mireya frowned. “Is he planning to pester Eliza? What is he thinking…”
She tried to chase after him, but Rodney grabbed her arm. “Don’t go. Chester is a bigshot in the entertainment industry. Since your brand just launched, you still need to cooperate with many businesses and companies under him in order to stabilize your foundation. It’s not wise to offend him.”
“So what if I offend him? Is my friend less important than a company?” Mireya snorted. ” Besides, you’re my husband. Don’t you know how to help me?”
“Well… I can only get Chester to help you. Even if you go to my parents or my uncle, they can’t do anything, ” Rodney explained helplessly. “The Jewell family is involved in too many fields.
Whether it’s in the medical or entertainment industry, no one can touch their territories. In the first half of the year, there was a listed company that offended Chester. With just his word, no media company has dared to cooperate in commercials with that company ever since. Now, that company is dying silently.”
Mireya was silent.
Fine. Compared to a big boss like Chester, she was just a little rookie. However, Eliza was in the entertainment circle, so it would be unlucky for her to offend Chester.
Sigh, she was a little worried about Eliza.
“Honey…” Rodney suddenly hooked her little finger to his and looked at her ambiguously. He whispered. “Shall… we try…”
“Try what? Go back. I have to work.” Mireya pretended not to understand and walked into her office with her heart racing.
Rodney closed the door and shamelessly went up to grab her hand. “You know what I’m talking about. Look, Cate is your best friend, yet she never gets tired of doing that. This means that it’s really good “Or maybe it’s because Shaun is good. You’re not necessarily better than him.” Mireya became so flustered that she interrupted him with annoyance.
Rodney’s handsome face darkened. “Mireya, you’re questioning my ability by saying that. This is a great insult to a man. If I don’t prove it to you tonight, I can’t say I’m a man.”
Mireya’s scalp tingled when she saw how serious he looked.
Great. She seemed to have aggravated him. “You misunderstood my meaning. I—“
Rodney interrupted her. “How would you know if Shaun was good at it from the start? He’s been with Cate for so long, so I’m sure he slowly improved on it. But what about me? You’ve never even given me a chance. Poor me. I’m already in my thirties, but I’m still an old virgin…”
His words at the start were just to arouse her sympathy, but after actually voicing them, his heart truly felt sour. “I have a wife, but I can’t even touch her. I’ve really failed as a man.”
Mireya was speechless to hear his pitiful voice. “If you’re an old virgin, where did the child come from?”
“Mireya, my first time was when I was drunk and confused. I barely remember anything about it. What’s the difference between that and being an old virgin?” Rodney pouted. “You don’t know this, but Chester and Shaun always laugh at me in secret because of this.”
“Then you can keep it to yourself, ” Mireya snapped. “Do you talk about our private life everywhere you go?”
“Do I need to? Other people just have to look at me to know.” Rodney pointed at his beautiful face and said, “Look, it has the words ¡®a man who isn’t nourished by a certain life’ written on it.”
Mireya rolled her eyes at him.
In fact, she was a little troubled.
She was actually not averse to sleeping with Rodney. She was just not ready mentally.
Besides… She was embarrassed. There was no need to say stuff like that out loud either. If they got into the mood and things progressed naturally, she would not push him away.
However, Rodney was a fool who did not understand women’s thoughts.
When they were alone, he got handsy a lot with her. Yet every time they went a step further and she said ¡®don’t’ shyly, he would immediately stop.
This kind of man was the opposite of cunning.
” Stop talking about that and go already. I have to call the factory. All the goods sold out today, so I have to inform the other side to hurry up with the production. I have a meeting later too.” Mireya stopped looking at him and lowered her head to pick up her phone to call her subordinates.
Rodney sighed in disappointment and did not dare to disturb her. “Then I’ll walk around downstairs. Call me when you’re done. I’ll take you home.”
“Aren’t you busy with the company today?” Mireya asked suspiciously.
A little touched, Mireya said in a low voice, “I have a celebration party tonight. Why don’t you come with me?”
“Sure.”
Rodney’s eyes brightened as he nodded.
Downstairs.
Eliza called the driver, but he said that there was traffic congestion, and it would take more than ten minutes before he arrived. As such, she had to wait for a while.
After she put down the phone, a tall body suddenly loomed down on her from behind, and Chester’s lazy voice sounded overhead. “Where are you going? I’ll send you there.”
“There’s no need to trouble you, President Jewell. The driver will be here soon.” Eliza took an imperceptible step back and refused politely.
Chester looked at her playfully. She was wearing a white knitted sweater today with blue jeans, making her look very simple and casual, unlike those female celebrities he met before. They always dressed up as if they were attending a reception, and although they did look good, they were as boring as porcelain. However, Eliza was different. She was tall, her temperament was good, and she had a beautiful face. Everything she wore brought out her luminous temperament as a star.
“Eliza, how many times have you rejected me?” Chester put one of his hands in his pockets. His handsome face was wicked yet charming. “There’s a limit to my patience.”
“President Jewell, I really have no intention to date, ” Eliza said politely. “I just want to focus on my job.”
“I know. ” Chester took out a lighter and cigarette case. “You don’t want to date or get married.”
Eliza’s expression changed slightly. That was what she said upstairs. She thought that only Rodney and Shaun were eavesdropping, but it turned out that he heard them too. “I didn’t know that a person with such a prominent status like President Jewell would also eavesdrop at the door.”
“Don’t Rodney and Shaun have prominent statuses too? They eavesdropped as well. ” Chester looked at her with a vague smile. “But it is the first time I’ve done such a thing. Maybe it’s because I want to know what you’re thinking.”
Eliza was silent for a moment. “Those are my true thoughts.”
Chester nodded. “That’s good. I also don’ t really like dating or getting married, so we’re quite like ¨C minded. However, I have needs. If you let me sleep with you, we can be friends with benefits.”
” Sorry, but I’m afraid of getting a disease, ” Eliza said mockingly.
Chester did not get angry either. Perhaps it was because he had gotten angry at her too many times, so his tolerance was much better now. “Don’t worry. I’m a doctor. I might actually be more attentive in this aspect than you. If it really bothers you, I can have a physical examination report done for you.”
Suddenly faced with such a patient Chester, Eliza could not help but look up at his handsome face.
It was true. The more she interacted with him in this body, the more he disgusted her.
Chester lowered his head to look at her. Her eyes were calm and cold.
He was amazed. He had met countless women in the past, but he just could not understand Eliza.
