Stellar Cultural Center.
When Sean arrived at the Cultural Center with Rose in tow, they were met with people from Ares Enterprises just as they had predicted.
"Master Jean?” Sean stood still as he bowed slightly at Jean Ares.
Jean walked over and placed a hand on Sean's shoulder, his smile warm. "You're too late, Sean. I've already gotten the copyright of The Moonlit Sky's novel, so the contract's mine."
Sean glanced at Rose beside him
Getting the hint, Rose stepped forward and smiled." You haven't signed the contract with Stellar yet, Master Jean. Nothing has been set in stone."
Her tone dripped with provocation.
Master Jean's gaze fell immediately on Rose as he sighed in a tutting tone. "Where did you find yourself such a fine specimen, Sean? Quite the sharp tongue she has there."
Sean intentionally berated Rose, "Orchid, this is Ares Enterprises' second young master, so don’t be impolite."
Rose stepped back.
Jean scoffed. "What tacit understanding both of you share. Quite in tune with each other, aren't you now?"
Sean smiled.
Jean spoke again, "I'm curious too, Sean. I wonder if you've got enough academic knowledge to back up your courage?"
Rose answered instead, "Fret not, Master Jean. Mr. Bell has always been a brave character, so I'm sure he'll make you reevaluate your impression of him."
Jean’s gaze settled once again on Rose. "Nobody has ever been able to take what Ares Enterprises have set their eyes on!"
Before he left, Jean rose an arm to lightly caress the side of Sean’s attractive face and spoke in an ambiguously loving tone, "Sean, I admire your courage a lot."
Sean smiled awkwardly.
Immediately after Jean left, Rose backed a meter away from Sean.
Sean glared at her. "What are you doing?"
