Eliza tossed the slippers aside without hesitation and left barefoot.
Chester tugged her shirt and pointed at it. “Excuse me. I’ve thrown your shirt away earlier because it was too dirty. The pajama shirt you’re wearing now is mine as well.”
No matter how much Eliza hated him, she could not walk out naked.
She stopped and glared at the man in front of her. ” How much did this pajama shirt cost? I’ll pay you ten times the price when I’m home, okay?”
” I don’t want your money. Money is something I need the least.” Chester took a cigarette pack from the shoe rack, drew a cigarette, and held it in his mouth. “I didn’t sleep last night because of you. No matter how realistic I am, it’s a fact that I helped you last night. You can’t deny it, right?”
Eliza pulled a long face, waiting for him to continue.
With a smile, Chester suddenly moved closer to Eliza’s ears and said nastily, “Eliza, you wanted to send a few of your subordinates overseas before this, right? I don’t think I’ve told you that they haven’t been able to leave the country…”
Eliza suddenly lifted her head, her eyes pretty and clear. She glared at him in shock. “What did you do?”
“Nothing much. All I did was refuse their visas. With their names and identities exposed, they can’t go overseas for now. As you know, they might be in danger being in the country too. Having said that, I can easily do something to ensure their safety.”
Chester covered the cigarette in his mouth while lighting it. As usual, his remarks were harsh, but he said it with a gentle smile on his handsome face, like an elegant young man.
However, his behavior was far from gentlemanly. Eliza instantly grasped his meaning.
Her right hand was shivering with anger. She had an urge to slap him.
“You want to slap me, huh?” Chester raised his brows. “Sure you can. But do think about the consequences.”
Eliza snorted coldly. ” I finally understand what it means to care too much about the gains ahead without being aware of the dangers behind. You’re brilliant, Young Master Jewell. Mireya, Rodney, Sarah, and I probably became your pawns that night, and you’re the ultimate winner. People like you who excel at scheming are doomed to be lonely. No one will fall for you because you’re too cold- blooded.”
“It’s alright. I don’t need love. All I want is you, ” Chester mocked in a light-hearted manner.
Eliza scoffed, her eyes filled with endless hatred. ” You think too highly of me. I’m no different from the women you’ve interacted with in the past. They have what I have. Or… are you obsessed with having two good friends to serve you? Sadly, Charity is dead. Otherwise, the two of us could occasionally accompany you at the same time. That must be interesting to you.”
His Achilles’ heel was exposed once again. A hint of grimness flashed across his eyes.
Nevertheless, he shrugged indifferently after a while. “Don’t provoke me. It’s no use. From the moment I made up my mind, I’ve decided to live in such a selfish, casual manner. It doesn’t matter even if I go to hell after I die.”
He paused for a moment before caressing her smooth face. “Well, you’ve exposed your weakness through this incident, Eliza. I can see that it’s pointless to threaten you since you’re not afraid of death. But before the incident, you made some arrangements for your subordinates, which means that you still care about them. Anyway, it’s your choice. If you want to save them, be my woman.
Otherwise, I’ll have them captured. Putting aside Sarah’s kidnap, your subordinates have probably committed quite a lot of crimes when they worked for you. If they’re under investigation, I guess their lives will be at stake.”
Eliza raised her head and looked at his handsome face.
At that moment, she wished she could stab him to death.
However, Chester was not Sarah. She was incapable of doing it to him.
She felt that Chester was just like a devil, regardless of whether it was when she lived in her own body or Eliza’s body.
What evil deeds had she done in her previous life to cross paths with this man time and time again in this life?
” It’s up to you to decide. I’m hungry. Because of you, I haven’t had breakfast.”
Chester sat down slowly on the chair. The delicate breakfast on the dining table was still warm.
He used a knife and fork to cut the fried egg.
Eliza took a deep breath and closed her eyes. When she opened them again, they were as still as water.
She walked up to him and asked dejectedly, “How long do I have to be your woman?”
“Until I’m sick of you.” Chester held her hands and put them on his thighs. He draped his arm around her shoulders and muttered with a masculine voice a s if she was his most intimate lover, “Come and eat this egg I fried. It’s not bad.”
Eliza turned her eyes to the egg white he forked. After staying quiet for two seconds, she lowered her head and forked the egg into her mouth.
As she bent over, Chester stared at the back of her neck, which was as thin and fair as a swan’s neck.
He had forgotten how long it had been since he admired a woman so carefully.
“Good…”
Chester lifted Eliza’s chin softly before he leaned over to kiss her.
Eliza subconsciously resisted him.
“Did you forget what I said?” Chester nibbled her lips and stared at her. Their long eyelashes almost tangled together.
Eliza was filled with despair. Ultimately, she had no choice but to surrender to her fate. She opened her lips slightly and accepted his kiss.
She was still not done eating the egg, so the taste was still in her mouth. If this had happened in the past, Chester would have been disgusted. However, he found the egg particularly delicious today.
He kissed her so passionately that it was as though he was going to eat her up.
Only until he kissed Eliza’s neck did she dodge him. “I didn’t rest well last night. I’m exhausted.”
“Okay. I’ll let you rest for two days.” Chester was not in a hurry, and he stroked her long hair.
“I want to go to the hospital to visit Mireya this afternoon. No matter what, I need to thank her,” Eliza said lethargically with her head down, as if she had surrendered.
“Okay. I’ll come with you.” Chester nodded. “No need. Can you respect my dignity?” Eliza’s tone sounded despondent. “Being your woman is a disgrace to them. Isn’t your main goal to sleep with me? So fulfilling your goal should be enough. Do you need to go as far as trampling my dignity?”
“Lizzie, you shouldn’t think of it this way. Do you know how many women in the same industry as you want to be with me?” Chester looked down and called her by her nickname. Those unaware of the situation would think that he was talking to someone he deeply loved.
Nevertheless, his words had long since made Eliza numb. She would not be moved.
No one understood Chester more than she did. He had always been like this. When he wanted to get a woman, he would be as gentle to her as a prince, as if she was the only person he loved in this world.
Yet when he was sick of her, he would be as cruel as a devil.
“But I’m not like them.” Eliza looked up and exchanged looks with him. His gentle face was reflected in her dark eyes.
Chester stared at her in a daze, feeling as though he had returned to his youth.
Back then, he was very close with a woman. From her eyes, he could also see himself.
However, later on…
He felt his heart being twisted. All of a sudden, he uncontrollably kissed her eyes and thin lips afterward.
Only after a long time did he say, “Okay.”
In the afternoon, Eliza’s manager, Hailey, came to the duplex apartment.
After she rang the doorbell, Chester opened the door.
She came in, carrying some clothes. When she saw Eliza eating on the couch in a pajama set, she was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
“Hailey, you’re finally here with the clothes.” Eliza rose to her feet and took the clothes over. Then, she went upstairs to get changed.
“Young Master Jewell… ” Hailey looked at Chester, not knowing what to do. “You and Eliza…”
“It’s what you see. She’ll stay here more often from now on, so please buy her more clothes and send them over. Also, don’t set too tight of a schedule for her. Don’t let her go too far as well. I don’t want my woman to be too busy. Do you understand?” Chester ordered.
“I got it.”
Given that Hailey had been in this industry for over ten years, she had encountered this kind of situation a lot. It did not take her long to pull herself back together.
After Eliza got changed, she was ready to leave. At that moment, Chester suddenly clutched her arm and pointed at his thin lips.
That behavior made Hailey look away quickly. She was filled with dread.
Although she was not too familiar with Chester, she had heard from other managers that he was always cold and distant toward women. Even before he was engaged to Cindy, he would give her the cold shoulder during the occasional company events, let alone asking a woman to kiss him of his own accord.
Without much thought, Eliza kissed Chester numbly before she left.
