However, Bowen casually sipped his wine, seemingly indifferent to the situation.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Biting her lip to hold back tears, Scarlet maintained a strained smile and continued to accommodate Thiago.
Throughout the meal, Thiago took several liberties with Scarlet.
Noticing that Thiago seemed pleased, Bowen chose his moment to speak up.
“Mr, Blake, shall we finalize our agreement now?”
Thiago’s eyes burned with lust as he focused on Scarlet, who was in his arms.
He wanted to whisk her away from the table and continue elsewhere, hopefully a bedroom.
Bowen’s words jolted him back to reality.
“The partnership, huh?” Thiago trailed off, his gaze Lingering on Scarlet, his hands restlessly exploring her body.
The implication was clear.
It hinged on Scarlet’s compliance.
Bowen grasped his intentions.
He cast Scarlet a glance and said, “Scarlet, looks like you should spend some time with Mr.
Blake to secure the partnership.
”
Spend some time? Bowen was essentially asking her to sleep with Thiago!
Shame and anger warred within Scarlet, but she was trapped.
For now, she had no choice but to appease Thiago.
Forcing back the humiliation, she clasped his hand.
“Mr.
Blake, we’ve already spent some quality time together.
Surely that’s enough? Please, sign the contract!”
Thiago grinned.
“Certainly, Miss Fernandez.
But on one condition: you keep me company after dinner.
If you agree, I’ll sign on the dotted line right now.
”
Bowen’s eyes gleamed.
He readily agreed on Scarlet’s behalf.
“Absolutely! As our esteemed guest, you deserve the best possible service.
Isn’t that right, Scarlet?”
Scarlet, catching his suggestive gaze, forced a smile.
“Of course.
”
Thiago wore a wide grin.
“Excellent! Bring me the contract.
”
Bowen eagerly produced the pre-prepared document.
Thiago flipped to the final page, took the pen from Scarlet, and was on the verge of signing.
Just then, the door was knocked, then pushed open.
“I’m sorry for the interruption,” a clear, pleasant voice announced.
The three occupants turned their heads towards the door.
Scarlet, still perched on Thiago’s lap, jumped to her feet, her face contorting in shock.
