Emmett narrowed his eyes. Obviously, he was not satisfied with this form of address.
Elaine's mouth twitched. She was starting to get angry. "Boss?"
"Are you my employee?"
"Emmett Smith, what exactly do you want?"
...
Elaine finally couldn't hold on any longer and burst into anger.
Of course, because she was naturally timid and knew about Emmett's violent personality, she was
afraid of him. Even though she was angry, her voice was low.
She didn't sound that furious.
But her cheeks were red from anger, making her eyes brighter.
Her lips gave off a dazzling sheen.
Although he looked at her like a stranger, he was deeply attracted to her.
Damn it! This woman was too charming!
If Mark dared to kiss her, he swore that he would crush him!
She was his! His only!
Elaine calling Emmett Smith by his full name shocked everyone at the table.
All of them stared at her with wide eyes, thinking that she had caused trouble, their eyes filled with fear
and pitifulness.
There were rumors that Emmett was ruthless and vicious.
Everyone knew that he had always been ruthless towards women. It was said that he had loved Marina
Clooney and was even engaged to her, but he broke up with her in the end.
He was extremely vengeful. Whoever provoked him, he would always make them pay with interest.
He was a typical merchant who dealt with people like the devil.
Emmett didn't expect Elaine to call him by his full name either. For a moment, he looked at her in
disbelief.
But there was a faint smile on his face, adding an arrogant evil aura to him.
"Oh? Interesting ... Miss, do you know me?" he asked, propping his arm against the back of the chair
with his legs crossed, his other hand gently tapping the table.
His gaze was focused on Elaine.
The others were ignored.
She pouted.
'Damn that Bad-bear Smith! He really knows how to act!
How dare he ask me if I know him!
You tell me!
I've seen you naked a million times! How could not know you!
...
Well, if you want to pretend, then I'll play along!'
"Everyone knows your name. As a celebrity, you are frequently mentioned on magazines and
newspapers. Mr. Smith, your engagement broke many girls' heart."
She sarcastically mentioned the engagement.
Emmett clenched his teeth.
'This rebellious woman!'
"The engagement was cancelled."
He sounded gloomy.
"Oh? Really? That's a pity. But don't be sad. You are so outstanding, there will be many girls suitable
for your family waiting in line to marry you."
Elaine could no longer hold back her anger and gnashed her teeth while speaking.
He stared at her and suddenly smiled, "Then ... do you want to?"
The others gaped.
They focused their attention on the two and didn't want to miss anything.
Did Emmett just ask Mark's girlfriend if she wanted to?
Wanted to what?
But Elaine understood what he was talking about. She turned away, pretending to be disdainful. "Me? I
don't want to!"
"Why not?"
He didn't believe her at all. Every woman wanted to marry him. Meanwhile, he glanced at Mark in
amusement.
'Mark, you want to have my woman? Don't even think about it!
You're not strong enough to compete against me.'
Elaine habitually licked her lips. "Because ... because I'm not a girl from a powerful family. I'm very
poor. Moreover ..."
She couldn't continue, unable to find a suitable word.
"And she's my girlfriend," Mark interrupted.
That was a hard blow to Emmett.
Elaine was shocked.
Why did he say that? She hadn't agreed to be his girlfriend yet.
Sure enough, Emmett's eyes turned gloomy in a second.
"Elaine, you haven't toasted Mr. Smith yet."
This toast had lasted for a long time.
...
Everyone else was on the verge of breaking down.
Was Mark's girlfriend stupid? She couldn't even propose a proper toast.
"Oh, okay. Mr. Smith, this toast is to you." Elaine regained her senses and quickly glanced at the
dignified Emmett. Thinking that he was the most difficult, she thought she'd better to drink first. She
gave a grin and said, "Mr. Smith, I'll drink first!"
She closed her eyes, raised her glass, opened her mouth, and was about to gulp the wine down when
she felt something warm.
What? (⊙_⊙)
She opened her eyes with curiosity, only to find that Emmett had covered her glass with his hand.
She had kissed the back of his hand.
She blushed.
A few people couldn't hold back their laughter and turned away. They covered their faces, trying not to
laugh out.
"What are you doing?"
She looked at him in confusion.
Emmett smiled and said, "Don't drink. You've drunk enough. I will drink it for you."
Before she knew it, he had snatched away her glass. With a lift of his hand, he had gulped the wine
down.
Everyone was stunned. (⊙_⊙)
Then he handed the empty glass back to her as if nothing had happened, and said in a gentle tone,
"Go pour a glass of juice for yourself."
Elaine stared blankly at him and could not help but see his sexy Adam's apple bob. She also saw his
kin around his collar.
Thinking of his figure and his muscular chest, she became nervous.
Her head was in a mess.
She couldn't think of anything.
And her face was burning up.
He was still holding the glass, waiting for her to take it.
Yet she was still staring at his chest without the slightest intention to take the glass.
It was awkward.
...
Everyone felt it was strange.
Mark's heart tightened.
He suddenly reached out and said, "Thank you for caring about my girlfriend."
He wanted to take the glass for Elaine.
Although Emmett had been looking at her, he moved his hand away just as Mark was about to touch
the empty glass, as if he had another pair of eyes. Then once again, he handed the glass to Elaine.
That movement was as fast as a gale. Only martial arts experts could do it.
He didn't mind using it at this moment.
Mark paused, his face filled with embarrassment.
The people at the table couldn't help but tremble because this strange scene was too frightening.
It was like an active volcano that could erupt in a single second.
Only then did Elaine shift her gaze from Emmett's collar. Emmett gently touched the tip of her nose just
like old times.
"Silly girl, you're absent-minded again. Waiter, hurry up and pour her some juice. Tonight, you're not
allowed to drink again."
His words and actions shocked the others.
It looked like Emmett had a thing for Mark's girlfriend!
But he said "again". Did they know each other?
Countless guesses and gossip were raging in their minds.
Elaine finally came to her senses and complained angrily, "You are so annoying! Why are you flipping
my nose again? It hurts!"
This was her normal reaction.
However, in the eyes of the others, this was extremely abnormal.
"It wasn't that hard."
He chuckled as he leaned back in his chair and took out a cigarette. Someone immediately lit it up for
him.
Before he could smoke, Elaine began shouting as she waved her fist.
"Why are you smoking? At least consider the others!"
Surprised, Emmett was dazed for a second with the cigarette between his fingers.
"Oh, I've been bothered lately. I'm used to it. I forgot."
...
He laughed wickedly and snubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray.
He looked up at her with affectionately and smiled. "Don't be angry. I put it out. Eat something."
