Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 332

Thankfully, his disgust was well-hidden. His slender fingers elegantly pinched Rose's unruly fingers. Jay turned to stare at her petite hand before engulfing it within his larger one. The sense of familiarity returned.

Her slim and soft fingertips were caged in his hands.

Ecstasy sparked in his eyes.

Rose, however, complained internally. Why had he not pushed her away yet? To think that she had gone to this level of shamelessness too.

Giving up, she pushed herself further into his chest. Such an act coupled with her flimsy top and the fact that she had no cardigan on was hardly one expected of a dignified woman. Frost immediately pooled in Jay's eyes.

How could Sean have her charm clients with her sexual appeal? What atrocity.

Glancing up at him, Rose went even wilder and looped her arms around Jay's neck. The icy glint in his eyes drove her to believe that her plan was working...

She began saying in a coquettish tone, "Could Master Ares be here for The Moonlit Sky's screenplay today? You're a stingy man, aren't you Master Ares..."

Jay glanced hopelessly at the woman in his arms. Had she any idea how irresistible she was to him? Still, she slithered over him like a snake.

"Ares Enterprises couldn't care less about a mere screenplay." The arm around Rose tightened.

"I'm simply curious as to what fine specimen exactly you've hired as your secretary, Sean? One capable enough to steal Jean's business."

Held tight against his chest, Rose struggled to breathe as if the air was being forced out of her lungs.

"Now you know, Master Ares. I was the one who stole Master Jean's contract." Rose blinked innocently, though there was a hint of gloat in them.

Jay lifted her chin. "You're a capable one. Although I must remind you, success requires more than just a hot screenplay. You'll need top-notch actors as well."

"It's alright, Master Ares. We have our own top-notch actors at Bell Enterprises."

Jay smiled. "There's only one top-notch actor, silly."

Rose's smile faltered as she burrowed out of his arms.

Smoothing out the creases on his button-up, an arrogant smile spread across Jay's handsome features.

The smile may have been a small one, but it was one that reminded people of pear blossoms dancing in the spring breeze. It was a smile so warm and charming that one would easily lose themselves in it. Sean was exasperated. Jay was openly declaring war.

Now that Bell Enterprises had gotten hold of the screenplay, they had to fight Ares Enterprises for top-notch actors too.

It seemed like they were in for another difficult battle.

Right at that moment came a turnabout.

Jay spoke, catching them off guard, "How about we do it this way, Sean Bell? You give me your gorgeous secretary and you can have our top-notch actors."

Sean and Rose shared a knowing look.

'So this man did come with ulterior motives after all.'

Sean smiled. "You sure are lucky, Orchid. Master Ares has taken fancy to your talents."

Rose took in a cool breath. Had Jay truly come for her?

Was he here because he recognized her ability, or had he already seen through her identity?

"As flattered as I am, Master Ares, I'm bound to Bell Enterprises by contract. I can't leave right now." Rose would rather die before she let him hold her captive again.

Jay's sharp eyes drifted back to Sean. "A contract isn't a slave deed. How much to compensate for the breach of contract? I'll pay for the damages."

Sean's expression darkened. "This has nothing to do with compensation. Bell Enterprises requires Orchid's

exceptional skills, Master Ares!"

Rose quickly added, "Ares Enterprise is filled with all sorts of talents and I may not be needed as much as I am here. Not to mention, I'd much rather be the head of a dog than the tail of a lion. I'm happy here in Bell Enterprises."

"You're the first woman in Imperial Capital to reject me, Orchid."

As well as the only one.
