Wesley cast a glance at Blair as he stated the reason he quit smoking. 'Why is Wesley looking at me like that? I'm not part of the next generation, ' Blair thought. Apparently, his point went over her head.
'Forget the next generation. There's a bloodied jerk kneeling before me! This is so awkward, ' she cursed inwardly.
Wesley obviously had no plan to intervene. Blair tugged at his sleeve and whispered to him, "Ask him to get on his feet first."
"Why?" he asked. "Just let him kneel before you until you're ready to forgive him." 'But I never asked him to kneel before me. He did it on his own, ' she thought.
"I'm not comfortable with him on his knees. You wronged me quite a lot of times too. Why don't you get down on your knees too until I'm ready to forgive you?" Blair replied.
Wesley's eyes showed that he was perplexed. After a long pause, he said, "I'll kneel before you when we're alone." His voice was so low only Blair could hear him.
'What? I was just joking. Did he take me seriously? Did he not know it was a joke?' Blair rolled her eyes and clarified, "Gee, I was just kidding." An awkward smile appeared on her face. 'I wouldn't dare ask Mr. Perfect to kneel before me.
But now it looks like he'll never take over this current thing. In that case, I guess I have to solve it myself.
Now that this jerk is here, kneeling before me, I must take this chance to teach him a lesson.' Blair glared at Mr. Liu, her eyes like daggers. "For Wesley's sake, I will forgive you this time. But I'm warning you. If you dare mess with me again— Not just me. If you touch another woman again without their consent, I will come for you. Do you promise me?"
"I promise! I won't force anyone. If you don't believe me, I'm willing to make an oath," Mr. Liu answered hastily. To be completely honest, he wasn't that horny. The only reason he forced himself on Blair was that she was very attractive and he was drunk.
Wesley taught him a lesson that was quite hard to forget. He wouldn't dare make the same mistake again.
"All right. I hope you keep your word," Blair replied. She thought it was better to get rid of the problem as soon as possible. That way, Wesley wouldn't have to carry the burden any longer.
If she didn't forgive him tonight, things would just get more complicated. It would cause a bigger problem for Wesley. Although she didn't plan to be with Wesley, she didn't want him in trouble because of her.
The bodyguards then carried Mr. Liu out of the room. Only the five of them were left.
After some chatting, Colleen grabbed Blair's hand and asked, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's go order some food!"
Blair wanted to leave. She gave Wesley a look, hoping he could read her mind. "I...I want to..." she stuttered.
"We haven't had dinner yet. Ladies, the pleasure of choosing should be yours. Thank you," Wesley interrupted Blair.
Colleen giggled and told Blair, "The club has a couple of new dishes. Some of my friends told me the new dishes were very good. Blair, try them and tell me if they are tasty. If they are, I'd like to send one of our chefs here to learn from them."
Blair didn't know how to turn her down and could only nod her head. "Okay. I'll try them out."
They found the menu and began to discuss what they should order.
"Ooh, this looks nice. By the way, Blair, I heard that you and Wesley were fighting. Is it because he married someone else?" Colleen pried.
