So he was the man of the legend of the city, he was invincible in both business and love affairs. However, the most important thing was that he was also chosen for the position of the chief, that was something even Elijah did not expect.
The equally smart looking face decorated Philip to perfection as if a prodigal. An outstanding aura emanated from him, and the noble, elegant, and powerful aura instantly brought everything around him into his world.
He had a pair of eyes that was darker and more tender than the night, the glittering light in his eyes was like stars in the night sky. The beauty was so radiant that people around them couldn’t help but to hold their breath. Philip’s deadly aura was absolutely top-levelled, but it’s a pity that this womanizer’s speed in changing women was faster than changing clothes.
Even Elijah Perry couldn’t help but to marvel at the owner of this face. How could one be born with such a good look, and how could any woman resist such a charming man.
“Elijah, this is my friend, Philip.” Esther said and held onto Elijah’s arm. She was worried that he was angry so she had to be flattery.
Philip was also staring at Elijah the same way, his powerful manly aura made Philip purse his lips slightly and his eyes flashed. Maybe he should be relieved if Esther had found a husband like Elijah.
But it won’t be that easy to marry Esther!
But Elijah was much more seasoned after all, he quickly smiled slightly and said, “Hello.”
“Hello!” Philip also smiled faintly.
There were already flickers between the two by just looking at each other. They both knew who each other was and each had their own thoughts, but both people had them unanimously hidden deeply.
Philip stretched out his hand all of a sudden, took out a red box from his pocket and handed it to Esther in front of Elijah, “This is a gift for you Esther, my good babe!”
Esther?! Good babe?!
Elijah did not mishear that appellation! Who the hell was he? And moreover, he’s too young to have Esther as his babe. A turn of his eyes, Elijah met Philip derisive looking eyes. He then knew that Philip knew who he was, and he was taking advantage of him!
“Philip!” Esther was so embarrassed with him calling her babe that her face was all red, “What is this?”
Not giving her the chance to refuse, Philip smiled and said, “It was passed down from the ancestors. It was said to be my… father’s token of love to my mother, and now I’m giving it to you!”
Philip stuffed the box to Esther after finishing his sentence and left with a smile. His evil laughter made Elijah very upset whereas Esther could only watch Philip strode away before she could even speak to refuse.
“Hey Philip! Why are you giving this to me? I don’t want it!”
“Have a look at it before deciding if you want it or not.” Waving without looking back, Philip got into a car and drove away.
“I didn’t want this.” Esther immediately denied, “You, you help me return it to him!”
Yet Elijah narrowed his eyes dangerously, grabbed the box and opened it. His eyes were slightly stunned the moment he saw the emerald bracelet, he then returned it to Esther. “Since it’s a token of love for you, you should just accept it.”
“I—” Esther whimpered in dilemma.
Elijah turned around and strode towards the car.
Esther didn’t take a look at the box. She simply stuffed it into her backpack, trotted to catch up to Elijah and said fawningly, “Are you angry?”
Elijah was silent and walking straight ahead.
“What happened was, Christ Ball… that father of mine came looking for me, and we happened to meet Philip by chance. I didn’t want to talk to Christ so I used Philip and said that we were eating together. He actually saw right through me but still helped me, and I was embarrassed so I ate buns with him. That was what happened, we only had a meal together! Can you please say something, Elijah Perry? I’m not feeling good, what do you mean by this? You’re scaring me, do you know that your face is darker than a crow’s? It can even be compared to a black sow’s butt! I didn’t betray you, why do you look like you were cuckolded?”
“Damn it!” Elijah cursed; this woman was trying to piss him off.
Seeing that Elijah wasn’t happy, Esther’s heart was unease again, “Hubby, can you please stop having such a profound and incomprehensible expression on your face? I really just had a meal with a friend, I didn’t expect him to give me this!”
Elijah raised his eyebrows and gave out a cold hum.
The only scary thing was Elijah getting angry, so Esther coquettishly pulled and shook Elijah’s arm with a flattering and pleasing smile, “Say something.”
The corners of that cherry-red lips curled up delicately, that pleasing and flattering expression on her face, making him almost unable to refuse. Elijah opened the car door and stuffed Esther inside.
The car started, drove away and arrived at J City Eco Forest in a flash. Esther swallowed, “You, why did you bring me here?”
“I’m not angry.” Elijah said in a deep voice.
“Gah!” Esther blinked her eyes, “I was scared to death! I thought you were angry again!”
“You can have meals with him.” He said, again in a deep voice.
“Why?” Esther didn’t understand what was going on at all and was momentarily stunned. “Haven’t you always been stingy? Why have you suddenly become so generous? And why did you bring me here? What about Hudson and Winnie’s video? Can you say something?”
“Can you not ask me so many questions all at once?” Elijah couldn’t take it anymore and growled lowly, glaring at Esther in frustration.
“Alright.” Esther nodded, “Ah—”
The chair was put down suddenly, but Esther’s body instinctively stayed upright. Elijah’s body leaned forward all of a sudden and fiercely pressed Esther down. He kissed her red lips peremptorily, this silly woman really was his nemesis.
After a few moments, gasping sounds were getting louder and louder, the two of them, who kissed intimately together, were gradually enveloped in lust. Esther gasped and her gaze inadvertently swept over Elijah’s legs, “You, you didn’t bring me here for this?”
“Why? Can’t I?” Elijah said stifled, glaring at Esther discontentedly. He kissed onto Esther’s lips fiercely, “This is what I mean, do you have an opinion?”
“Nope! No!” Esther shook her head fiercely, her small hands wrapped around Elijah’s neck, “But aren’t you afraid of being videotaped? I don’t want a video of us to be uploaded to the Internet!”
“Don’t worry, the car windows have films, so it can’t be seen through.” Elijah said gruffly.
“Heh, heh—” Esther giggled with a low hum, “But I don’t want it!”
