Chapter 41 Mr. Chu Won
All of a sudden, someone grabbed the invitation letter from her hand when she was so tired.
There was nothing on her hand. When she came to herself and saw the invitation card in Maynard's hand, she was filled with anger. When Elly and she grappled with each other, Maynard didn't make any move. When they ran out of energy, he would be the winner. Viola was on the verge of breaking down. How she wished she could put the sack on him and beat him up.
When Maynard, who was sitting on the hanging chair and holding the invitation card in his hand, wore a somewhat provoking smile on his face. She grasped his sleeve at once and said coquettishly, "Mr. Chu, look at you. Since Yesenia is so popular, she invites you to attend her 25th birthday party three days later. Why didn't you tell me about it?"
She blamed herself in her heart. If she had known it earlier, she would not have played the recorder at all. She would have tried her best to please him so as to take this chance to attend the banquet. "When should I tell you?" Maynard's voice was long and magnetic, indicating danger.
A shiver went down Viola's spine.
Elly, who was standing beside, was unwilling to give up. She went over and bumped into her with her shoulder. Fortunately, Viola held the table with her hands so that she wouldn't fall to the ground. She took a deep breath and raised her head. The scene she saw almost pissed her off.
Wearing a pair of red and tearful eyes, Elly imitate her and grabbed Maynard's broken sleeve, saying, "Maynard, I want to go to the party with you."
At the first sight of the invitation, Viola thought it was not a bad idea. Not to be outdone, she walked forward, pushed through him and reached directly for the invitation card in Maynard's hand.
It seemed that Maynard had been prepared for that. He opened the paw of Viola and warned in a casual manner, "Reporter Qi, you'd better be honest. There is only one invitation card."
The implication was that if anyone was hurt during the scramble, no one would get away with it.
"He's right. Don't try to stir up trouble!" Elly was just mocking at her.
Viola was choked. She rubbed her hands embarrassingly, pretending to be surprised and considering for the other party. She asked with a smile, "Mr. Chu, there is a word in the invitation that you can take a female companion with you. Have you found the female companion who can go with you?"
After that, she winked at Maynard and gave him a few slight coughs, as if to remind him of the fact that she was a woman and she could play with him.
However, nobody could predict what would happen next.
Maynard walked to the transparent French window. His slender figure was standing against the sun with his hands behind his back. Looking down at the small crowd on the ground like ants, he opened his mouth slightly and said, "No need!"
Her firm attitude made it difficult for her to reveal what she was going to say next.
On the other hand, Elly was stunned. Her eyes were full of worship and her cheeks were blushing red.
Viola was stunned by the delicacy of the little woman. She thought that Maynard could be so domineering, but she wouldn't have the chance to go with him if he didn't bring a female companion.
As her wishful thinking was about to be gone, a faint smile appeared on Viola's face. "Mr. Chu, you'd better not do that."
"What do you mean?" Maynard didn't turn around.
A smile appeared on her face. "Mr. Chu, you're alone. It would be a great pity to see a pair of couples there."
She thought that her acting skills were flawless, but she didn't expect that Maynard had seen them through.
A dark light flashed across Maynard's eyes. He knew what she was thinking, but he didn't debunk her.
"That makes sense." With his forehead ached, Maynard turned around and went straight to the local decision maker. "Elly, don't forget to prepare to take a car with me after the engagement ceremony." A second ago, Viola was cheerful, and the next second, the joy on her face disappeared.
After she explained for a while, she realized that she had changed his mind. However, her real thought went contrary to what she had thought.
"I will, Maynard. I must get dressed up." Looking at her with complacent eyes, Elly couldn't help but wear a sly smile. She said, "Thank you, Miss Qi."
Viola was so angry that she almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
She almost didn't have the time to think of stopping her. Enduring the urge to cry, she said, "Mr. Chu, it's not appropriate for Miss Xia to be so busy. I'm free now. If you don't mind, I can go with you." As soon as she finished her words, she was pulled aside by Elly.
"What nonsense are you talking about, Viola? How dare you speak ill of me in front of me!"
Pointing at her with red nails, Elly's face turned pale with anger. She wished she could poke some holes on her face.
Viola pretended to be surprised and winked in confusion. "Ah, what's wrong with me? I'm just telling the truth. Miss Xia, you can't wrong me."
"You!" She was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Then as something came to her mind, the anger on her face disappeared thoroughly. "Aren't you envious of me because I could attend the banquet together with Maynard? Even if you offer me a favor, you won't be able to change Maynard's mind."
Being speechless, she turned to look at Maynard, who was standing by her side. A strange smile appeared on his lips, and she was frightened to look away.
"Maynard, I'm going to search for clothes on the Internet now," With a bright smile on her face, she gave a provocative smile to Viola. After she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, she cozily sat down on the sofa and started browsing clothing website with her phone.
A faint smile formed on Viola's face. However, she still pulled the corner of Maynard's ripped shirt with his desire. "Mr. Chu, can't you change your mind?"
If Elly goes to attend that party, won't this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip away like a cooked duck?
"You want to go there?" Maynard looked at the woman who was being grabbed and said.
Viola nodded her head.
Maynard lifted her chin with a teasing expression in his eyes. While stroking her skin with his hand slowly, he asked, "Then how will you repay me?"
A cold shiver ran down her spine. She took a few steps back to get rid of his hand, which was rubbing her chin. "Mr. Chu, are you kidding? It seems that I can't cooperate with you."
With these thoughts in his mind, Maynard walked forward with his slender and straight legs, held her waist with his arms and said patiently, "I never joke at you."
After choosing the color, size and style of the dress, Elly raised her head to look at the scene. Throwing her cellphone away, she rushed to the middle of the two and said, "Maynard, what are you discussing about? Let me have a look too."
A smile played at the corners of Maynard's mouth. He meant something. "Somebody is trying his best to please me." Hearing that, Elly raised her hand and slapped on Viola's face.
"Miss Xia, shouldn't you hit Mr. Chu? I'm innocent!" Viola explained in a low voice, even not intending to dodge her attack. What the hell was going on!
"I'll tear you apart first. I'll explain everything to you!" The little face turned red with anger, and Elly continued to slap her. Then Viola started to run.
Maynard cast a look at the watch on his wrist and withdrew the expression on his face. All of a sudden, he became impatient. He asked the bodyguards, who had returned from the training camp, to come in and throw the two women out.00000
