Chapter 756 A Timely Dizziness
Lucas gave it his all.
Anyhow, the gossip magazines had previously published his nude photos, so it no longer mattered if he exposed himself again!
As he breathed a sigh of relief, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet before he proceeded to remove his shirt.
"Ah!"
Some of the female guests quietly turned their gazes away. How can he do such a thing at such an occasion?
Lucas wanted to remove his clothes at one go but as he removed his belt, his movements slowed down.
Seeing his body was one thing; he wouldn't be on the losing end if he showed it off. However, dancing samba in a pair of shorts was akin to shaming himself.
By then, the name 'Lucas Potter' would be a joke in the entire city.
His old man was already unwilling to bequeath the company to him, so if he created such a mess again, Lucas was sure that his father would kick him out of the house without any financial support. As he thought about this, Lucas stopped his movements.
"Ahem!" Narissa held up her cell phone, which was currently recording, with one hand and craned her neck to urge, "Don't stop, Mr. Potter. We are all waiting to see your captivating dance moves." Lucas shot her a death glare when he heard that. This b*tch has really stolen my luck after appearing next to Jamie.
Since she was against him, he knew that he would kill her if he had the chance to.
Jamie couldn't stand the man's perverted eyes holding Narissa's gaze. Hence, he rolled his eyes before protecting her by pushing her behind him. "Can you be like a man? Where are you looking?" She secretly bit her lip and did not even realize when a glimmer of shyness flashed across in her eyes.
After being lectured by Jamie, Lucas was even more impatient. Just as he was about to unbutton his pants, he suddenly had an idea and proceeded to close his eyes before falling flat on his face. As an awkward Jamie twitched his nose, he walked forward and kicked Lucas twice, but received no response. "You really collapsed at the right time."
A speechless Narissa gave a thumbs-up. "He's shameless enough."
Since Lucas did not move at all, he did not take those words seriously. If I'm being shameless, then so be it. At least it's better than being embarrassed by the video recording being sent out!
At the side door of the venue, the masked woman, who was Lucas' dance partner earlier, raised her hand to glance at the key that she stole from Lucas. After she confirmed that it was the right item, she broke into a smile. "Ellie."
Alexander's voice came out of nowhere, which immediately caused her to hide the key.
As the sound of the footsteps approached her, his low voice sounded again. "I have been obedient by taking good care of myself. It's time for you to return." The woman turned her back toward him and remained silent. Her eyes that were under the mask were dark for a moment as her thoughts were unknown. When Alexander was only a few steps away from her, an unmanned car sped from the intersection and stopped precisely in front of her.
Then, without any hesitation, she quickly rushed to the other side of the car and slid into the driver's seat, after which she restarted the engine and sped off. Once the car was a certain distance away, she slowly raised her head at the rearview mirror, only to notice Alexander's small figure cloaked in deep sadness.
...
Alexander remained by the roadside for sometime. It was only until someone came looking for him that he returned to the banquet hall.
In the VIP room, there were three influential figures seated at the corner of the couch, and the atmosphere of the room was tense. Even the waiters who were standing at the side were alert. Sitting in the middle was the vice president of the Jewelry Association in Cittadel, while Celina and Matthew were at his sides. Alexander and Tom were seated opposite them.
Such an arrangement was enough to make the atmosphere even more solemn.
"Miss Saunders and Mr. Griffith, I believe that you both are aware of the reason why I have called you here," George said as he took the initiative to break the silence.
"Yes; it's to ask us to stop our games, right? Let me express my comments first. Once Alexis announces its bankruptcy, I'll immediately back down." Celina was arrogant and dismissive as she commented.
Tom snorted before he rolled his eyes and turned to one side, not wanting to look at her.
David had ruined his ancestors' career and now, it was his daughter thinking of ruining his second shot at regaining his former glory. Such a logic doesn't exist in real life, right?
George patiently interjected, "In the world of business, only harmony can give way to wealth. If everyone can bury the hatchet and collaborate with each other, this will bring the jewelry industry in Cittadel to greater heights. Wouldn't that be better?"
"Collaborate with each other? It's impossible in this lifetime!" Celina looked like she wanted to kill someone. "They killed my father. I won't deny that I want to avenge my father's death. Destroying them at all costs is what I want!"
"Haha!" Tom sarcastically sneered. "The one who killed your father was your ex-husband. You never once blamed yourself for not seeing his true colors and yet, you're blaming us? D*mn, being blamed makes us feel inferior."
"What are you talking about?" Celina slammed the table as she rose to her full height. "If it wasn't the trap set by Elise, would I have been involved with Edwin? This is all because of Elise. Since she's in hiding and refuses to reveal herself, I'll destroy you guys instead. I want to see how long she's willing to maintain the facade!"
"Then you're not making any sense!"
Upholding the principle of not backing down, he also stood up and sharply oppressed each other. Neither one of them was willing to budge.
"Calm down! You guys are so noisy. What do you think this place is? A market?!"
George was furious as he knocked on the table in his resentment that they failed to meet his expectations. Then, he rebuked, "The Saunders Corporation and Alexis are the leading companies in the jewelry industry of Athesea. The vicious competition that previously existed between both sides does not involve just both companies; the people's livelihood and national economy are at stake. If you guys are unwilling to surrender to a truce, then the association will cancel your jewelry qualifications."
"What?" Celina glared at him in her anger. "If you want to cancel it, be my guest. You're just a vice-president. Why are you treating yourself like a judge?"
George's expression changed as it alternated between fury and paleness, which was entertaining.
Indeed, the position of vice president was not the same as a judge. It was because of this reason that he had to excel in his job and strive for the opportunity to be promoted. Once he was the president, he could easily be in touch with the judge. The business rivalry between the Saunders Corporation and Alexis had been ongoing for the past three months. This was precisely the best stepping stone for George to use to rise to greater heights.
After being disrespected by Celina, George couldn't care less about his dignity and assumed the role of a judge. "What I said won't count for the time being, but the association has its own set of rules. Since the president is not here, once our votes are passed, I can assume the role of a judge. By then, if you don't believe me, Miss Saunders, I can still revoke the qualification!"
"You can give it a try. What I have is money. Do you think I'm worried that I can't buy votes?" She was unaware of the seriousness of the situation and was still arrogant. "Those who haven't even sold more than a few pieces of jewelry have the confidence to teach me how to do business? Just you wait. I'll apply to be a member of the Jewelry Association. By then, we'll see whether you can chase me out of the jewelry industry!" Once she said those words, she immediately left the suite.
Matthew was wearing Johan's mask, so he couldn't afford to expose himself and merely kept quiet.
When Celina slammed the door, George felt like he was being repeatedly slapped.
