Thankfully, his disgust was well-hidden. His slender fingers elegantly pinched Rose's unruly fingers. Jay turned to stare at her petite hand before engulfing it within his larger one.
The sense of familiarity returned.
Her slim and soft fingertips were caged in his hands.
Ecstasy sparked in his eyes.
Rose, however, complained internally. Why had he not pushed her away yet? To think that she had gone to this level of shamelessness too.
Giving up, she pushed herself further into his chest. Such an act coupled with her flimsy top and the fact that she had no cardigan on was hardly one expected o f a dignified woman.
Frost immediately pooled in Jay's eyes.
How could Sean have her charm clients with her sexual appeal? What atrocity.
Glancing up at him, Rose went even wilder and looped her arms around Jay's neck. The icy glint in his eyes drove her to believe that her plan was working...
She began saying in a coquettish tone, "Could Master Ares be here for The Moonlit Sky’s screenplay today? You're a stingy man, aren't you Master Ares..."
Jay glanced hopelessly at the woman in his arms. Had she any idea how irresistible she was to him? Still, she slithered over him like a snake.
"Ares Enterprises couldn’t care less about a mere screenplay." The arm around Rose tightened.
"I’m simply curious as to what fine specimen exactly you've hired as your secretary, Sean? One capable enough to steal Jean's business."
Held tight against his chest, Rose struggled to breathe as if the air was being forced out of her lungs.
"Now you know, Master Ares. I was the one who stole Master Jean's contract.” Rose blinked innocently, though there was a hint of gloat in them.
Jay lifted her chin. "You're a capable one. Although I must remind you, success requires more than just a hot screenplay. You'll need top-notch actors as well."
"It’s alright, Master Ares. We have our own top-notch actors at Bell Enterprises.”
Jay smiled. "There’s only one top-notch actor, silly."
Rose's smile faltered as she burrowed out of his arms.
