"Supreme VIP, please, Miss Price!" Elijah also stood up.
Esther's little face went white for a moment. She had really lost herself. Damn it, she shouldn't have taken him lightly. She had just cautioned others and fell into chaos herself. Her mentor had said that she would suffer sooner or later with this temperament. Now it really came true. The retribution came too soon, right?
"Miss, this..." Lance whispered with concern, but was blocked by Elijah's subordinates.
Esther looked back at him and gave a wink, so Lance immediately stopped saying anything. And this small action did not escape Elijah's sharp eyes.
Walking up to Esther, Elijah stood still. Esther was forced to look up, and what met her eyes was Elijah's indifferent face, which was so handsome as to be incomprehensible.
"Okay! Let's go!" Esther gritted her teeth. With a flash of complexity in her eyes, she said stiffly.
Elijah did not say a word, turned his head, and walked out. Esther followed him, and she never looked at Lance again.
Elijah pressed the elevator button and stepped inside with a big stride. Esther also stepped into the elevator in silence. Until the elevator doors closed, her eyes glittered with unease. Staring at the floor numbers that kept jumping upward, her hands involuntarily clenched into fists.
At this moment, her mind was in a state of confusion. She could feel the sharpness of the strange, cold, and playful eyes above her head. Now it was like she was being stripped naked for him to look at. Damn!
She hadn't thought of a way to deal with it, but the elevator had already reached its destination. The elevator door opened, and Esther's heart thumped wildly. She finally knew what it was to shoot herself in the foot!
Inside the Supreme VIP room.
As soon as Elijah entered, he took off his suit jacket in front of her, revealing his firm upper body. Of course, it was wrapped in a shirt.
Esther was dumbfounded for a moment.
No?
This was too straightforward, wasn't it? To get into bed right out of the gate?
Elijah turned around with an expressionless face. His eyes were sharp, and his whole body was shrouded in a cloud of gloom, yet there was some hidden light!
Esther blushed slightly, "So, Mr, Mr. Perry, about this bet ..."
"You want to renege?" He narrowed his eyes dangerously and gazed at her.
When she saw Elijah staring at her with a pair of dark eyes that seemed to seduce her soul, she was so nervous that her heart couldn't help but thump. It wasn't that she was attracted, but she was feeling guilty!
She did want to renege on her debt. But because of the powerful aura of the man opposite, she could only swallow and show a harmless smile. "No! No, how could I renege on my debt?"
"That's good!" The corners of Elijah's mouth curled up in a playful smile. How could he not know what she had in mind?
Esther rolled her pretty eyes. The corners of her lips rose and she immediately said ingratiatingly, "But, Mr. Perry, it's my first time. You can't make me so nervous, can you?"
"First time?" Elijah raised an eyebrow and blinked. "To bet, to bear!"
Saying that, he began to untie his tie, and then unbuttoned the two buttons of his shirt ...
"Ah! What are you taking off your clothes for?" Esther subconsciously grabbed the clothes on her chest. She was afraid that he would pounce on her like a wolf on a sheep and overpower her.
Elijah came toward her.
"Ah... I told you to wait!" Esther quickly retreated behind the couch.
She did not expect Elijah just sat down on the couch and didn't do anything more.
She breathed a sigh of relief. Oh my God! She was scared to death!
She chose the couch farthest away from Elijah and sat down, calming her breathing and thinking about how to get out of this bet. "Mr. Perry, a man as wise and powerful as you can get any woman he wants, right?"
Elijah just grunted coldly.
This title of Mr. Perry was really annoying!
"Look at me, I don't have big breasts or hips, and I don't have a hot body at all, do I?" Seeing that he didn't say anything, Esther continued, "I'm not trying to renege. I am thinking of your sexuality. I'm afraid that you will be impotent for years because of me at once. Wouldn't that be a sin for me?"
Elijah's eyes narrowed, "You don't have to worry about that!"
She blinked. Elijah suddenly stood up and came towards her. Esther stood up all at once, "Ah, let's talk about it. Don't come any closer!"
But Elijah was so fast that Esther was not expecting it.
He took her by the arm, pulled hard, and then she was already in his arms. She was so scared that she reflexively closed her eyes, "Let's talk about it!"
"Open your eyes!" His low voice grew cold and stern. Elijah clasped his hands around her slim waist, and his gaze was tinged with a hint of coldness, "You can't get away!"
Esther's slender eyebrows furrowed slightly because he hugged her too hard, "I do not escape, then you stop being so fast... I go to take a shower. I have not bathed for several days. I won't renege. Let me get clean first and leave a deep impression on my wonderful first time!"
After saying that, she looked at him.
The room was so quiet for a while, with only the sound of their breathing. It was so quiet that she could seem to hear the sound of blood flowing through her veins. And Elijah's sharp, measuring eyes made her heart rise to her throat.
"You go take a shower!" He let go of her.

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
