Chapter 503 Gentlemen, Please Be Gentle

Mirane feigned displeasure and said, “Faye, you’re being rude! I’ve been taking care of your company’s business for a while, haven’t I?” Faye hastily explained herself, “You’ve misunderstood, Miranda. That’s not what I mean. I don’t want to drink. The slightest bit of alcohol gets me tipsy. Moreover, it’s getting late now and my husband is asking me to go home…” “Don’t drink so much if you can’t hold your liquor. As for your husband, just decline him casually. Plus, your husband is that useless deadbeat who lives with your family, right? Why do you have to worry so much about him? We’ll just have fun on our own. Trust me, you’re resisting because it’s your first time. You’ll see the benefits after you try it, and I guarantee you’ll thank me for bringing you.” As she spoke, Miranda held Faye’s hand and walked to a crowded area. There were numerous people in the banquet hall, around 100 in total. They were all the rich and wealthy of high society, yet the scene was intolerable to see. Had Faye not witnessed it herself, she would never believe that such a thing could exist. It could be said that Faye was the most beautiful woman with the best figure in the entire crowd. She was a newcomer as well, so her presence drew the attention of all the men in the room. They did not bother to hide their lust as they leered at her with invasive, frenzied eyes. This made Faye feel particularly uneasy and restless. She did not want to stay even a moment longer! Miranda was holding onto her so tightly that she could not leave. She insisted that Faye come with her. “Hey, Miranda. I really have to go…” Faye’s voice already had a hint of pleading and panic. Unfortunately, Miranda was already drunk by then and in an aroused mood. As an experienced partygoer, she could tell that Faye was shy because it was her first time there. She was sure that after her first experience, Faye would be fully open to the concept of the gathering the next time. After all, that was how it went for her in the past, and she had had so much fun over the years. “Please allow me to introduce our new member. This is Faye Carter. She’s the newly appointed chairman of Neotech Lighting Co. and this is her first time having fun here. Gentlemen, please be gentle on her,” said Miranda, bursting into laughter. The men’s eyes lit up in succession when they learned it was Faye’s first time at the gathering and that she was even a chairman. Lucius’s gaze was most fervent of all. He was staring directly at Faye, not trying to conceal his intense desire for her at all. The corners of his lips began to curl up into the smirk like that of a hunter when he found his prey. Faye felt especially uneasy and anxious from all their stares. She quickly said, “Miranda, I really have to go now. I’ve already called my husband and he’s arriving soon to pick me up.” Miranda immediately pulled a long face and griped angrily, “What are you doing, Faye? I brought you here with good intentions, but you’re constantly telling me that you’re leaving and you’ve even called up your husband. You’re being really disrespectful.” “No, no, that’s not what I’m trying to do!” Faye rushed to explain herself, “Miranda, how could I be disrespectful to you? It’s just that I’m really not used to being here and I refuse to be unfaithful to my husband. That is why I genuinely have to go now and my husband is on his way. If he were to see me getting involved in this, he’d be quite furious.” However, when the men in attendance heard her remarks, their eyes lit up even more. They came there to have fun, so they were particularly interested in targeting those who had good relationships with their spouses. They felt a sense of achievement when they managed to conquer such people. With the addition of her incomparable beauty, she was the perfect woman for them to go after! Lucius downed his glass of wine in one gulp. He walked over swiftly and said to Faye, “Hello, Ms. Carter. Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Lucius Drakos from Eilam Realty. Since you are the chairman of Neotech Lighting Co., I believe that there will be plenty of opportunities for our companies to work together from now on.”
