Chapter 85 She Belongs to Me Tonight
Emelie was afraid of William.
She couldn’t imagine what he could do with the contract, and humans would always be scared of the unknown.
William didn’t make any further moves toward Emelie, simply letting go of her hand and striding upstairs.
He didn’t ask for her to follow
But his departing figure clearly implied that she should follow Itim upstairs.
Emelie’s mind raced; she tried to think of ideas, She accidentally made eye contact with Bryan, who slightly nodded.
Emelie steadied herself and eventually went upstairs.
At least with Bryan there, he would back her up,
Even without Samuel’s involvement, he was delighted with the terms she offered him. So, he would help her.
Downstairs was where regular guests entertained themselves, while the second floor was where the big shots on this ship gathered.
Norman patted William’s shoulder. “We’re playing poker. I remember you’re good at it.”
William replied, “I’m just decent.”
you take my place? I’m getting old and can’t handle the fatigue. I need to be down
Norman massaged his waist, sighing. “Then can you
William nodded.
He entered the room, and Emelie followed.
The room wasn’t huge. It was well–lit, with a sofa, a coffee table, and a poker table.
No one was on the sofa, but two men in suits sat at the poker table, shuffling the cards.
Both men were relatively young, with different temperaments.
Emelie found them familiar but couldn’t quite place their names.
Bryan had just been playing, so he sat at the poker table as soon as he entered the room. William took Norman’s previous seat and joined in.
Patricia had somehow followed them upstairs. She wore a strapless dress, with the upper part made of red velvet fabric and the skirt made of
off–white chiffon
Emelle felt an uncomfortable sense of humility.
One of the men scrutinized Emele, smiling as he asked William, “Is this Mr. Middleton’s ‘bargaining chip‘?
“Indeed, she is quite attractive. No wonder you dared to slash so many points off me with just one word.”
The man took a cigarette from the pack, tapped it on the table, and motioned to Emelie.
