Obviously, Theodore was the boss in this small circle of the gilded youths. After all, his background was the most powerful. He was the only son of the power-holder of the Baldwins.
“Here you are, Dayanara.” Theodore poured a third glass of wine gracefully and handed the glass to Dayanara.
“Thank you.” Dayanara politely took over the glass, but looked uneasy. She glanced at Alberto, whose expression remained unchanged.
Theodore poured another glass of wine, looked at Alberto and asked, “Who’s this? It seems that he hasn’t introduced himself yet.”
“He is Dayanara’s assistant in the Mcconnell Group. He works for Dayanara,” Cecelia answered for Alberto.
“Oh? Dayanara’s assistant.” Theodore was interested, “Come and join us.”
“Thank you, but I don’t drink,” Alberto said calmly.
“How dare you? It’s an honor for you to join Theodore for a drink.” Kendall questioned.
“How could such an insignificant assistant know anything about wine tasting?” Phoebe said proudly, “He probably won’t have a second chance to drink such fine wine in the rest of his life.”
Alberto shook his head and smiled.
“Forget it. Don’t let him ruin the ambience. Just leave him alone,” Theodore said indifferently and looked at Alberto with disdain.
As they spoke, they raised their glasses and took a sip.
“Dayanara, I’ll leave you young people here to have fun. I have a banquet and have to go first,” After drinking the wine, Cecelia said heartily, “Theodore, Dayanara is new to the Treasure Shop. You have to take care of her, understand?”
Theodore smiled and said, “Don’t worry. No one dares to give her a hard time with me being here. Dayanara is your niece. So she is kind of my cousin, right?”
“OK. Enjoy yourself,” Cecelia said, and she then turned around and left towards another place in the Treasure Shop.
After Cecelia left, Theodore looked at Dayanara with a smile.
A trace of undetectable greed appeared in his eyes.
Dayanara was wearing a simple white dress today. Her skin was fair, her facial features were exquisite, and she was tall and slim. Although she did not wear any luxury clothes or make-up, her temperament was outstanding. Her eyes were especially charming. She was a beautiful woman with a complexion that can attract the attention of any one in the whole country.
“A rare beauty,” Theodore said to himself and swallowed.
As a playboy, he had heard of Dayanara, a famous beauty in Auton, two years ago. Recently, he heard that Dayanara had made a name for herself in the jewelry industry. She rose to fame once again in the upper class.
Two days ago, Theodore had saw Dayanara’s stunning appearance from the media reports when she spoke at the jewelry exhibition. He had a feeling for her.
As a professional womanizer, he was greedy with the beauty. He liked to hunt for all types of beauties. Moreover, his skills were superb: he was generous and could read women’s minds. He never failed to attract any woman whom he was interested in. After all, he had a rich family that allowed him to squander money.
Coincidentally, Cecelia took the initiative and introduced Dayanara to him. He agreed to meet Dayanara at the Treasure Shop.
When meeting Dayanara in person, he found her even more brilliant. So he was more resolute about his plan of sleeping with Dayanara.
Otherwise, he would never offer the expensive wine the moment they met?
For Theodore, Dayanara was completely different from those cheap women whom he had womanized before. It would be worth it as long as he could get her laid, no matter how much it cost.
Dayanara was born into the Mcconnell family and as beautiful as a fairy. Meanwhile, the jewelry she designed was sold at 100 million, breaking the records in Auton.
When he succeeded in dealing with Dayanara, he could show off for the rest of his life that he had womanized a high-quality beauty in the upper class.
As for the marriage proposed by Cecelia, don’t even think about it.
When he was tired of Dayanara, he would kick her away. And it would be fine if she was willing to be his mistress. He could keep her with money anyway.
Theodore fantasized crazily inside. He couldn’t wait to hunt down Dayanara, and his eyes were shining like a hungry wolf.
“By the way, may I know the name of your assistant?” Theodore said indifferently as he glanced at Alberto, feeling that this person was in his way.
“Alberto Maynard,” Alberto said calmly.
“Oh, Assistant Maynard.” Theodore nodded and his eyes flickered, “Why do I find this name familiar?”
“Theodore, I remember it. He is the famous son-in-law of the Mcconnells. Alberto!” Kendall laughed loudly with a look of disdain.
“He is the son-in-law of the Mcconnells!” Phoebe covered her mouth as if she was trying her best to hold back her laughter.
“We were just talking about him. I didn’t expect the famous loser to be right in front of us. He’s really a coward. We mocked him yet he didn’t dare to reply,” Brycen sneered.
“So you’re Alberto!” Theodore sneered and pretended to be apologetic, “Sorry, sorry, Phoebe said that you are a loser … But I think you are not a loser, but a super loser.”
“Otherwise, why would an adult man follow his wife as an assistant to be a kept man?” Theodore shook his head and said.
Alberto glanced at Theodore and didn’t say anything. Alberto had seen many people like him before.
“Mr. Boone, I think we should be polite when we speak, shouldn’t we?” On the contrary, Dayanara said uneasily when she heard them speak ill of Alberto.
This surprised Alberto. Dayanara spoke up for him!
Theodore smiled and said gracefully, “I’m sorry, Dayanara. I lost my composure and didn’t consider your feelings. I was angry from seeing Alberto in the flesh. I felt sorry for you!”
“Yeah, Dayanara, Theodore felt pity for you for being with this loser and getting loathed,” Kendall echoed.
“Hey, Dayanara, if I were you, I would have kicked this man out a long time ago. Why keeping him as your assistant to earn money from you?” Phoebe said with a disdainful expression, “Look, what luxury item do you have on you? There are no jewelry or anything like that, and not even a wedding ring! How miserable it is!”
“Just thinking about it makes me angry. This Alberto is a disgrace to us men!” Brycen said in a dignified manner, “Dayanara, if you want to kick him out, I’ll help you deal with him as long as you request it. I guarantee you that he won’t dare to resist, nor will he dare to stay the Mcconnells but get out!”
“Stop talking, everyone. This is my business,” Dayanara said with an ugly expression.
“Stop talking. This is Dayanara’s family matter.” Theodore smiled and looked at Dayanara gracefully, “Dayanara, if you need any help, just call me. Trust me, I, Theodore, have some power in Auton.”
As he spoke, Theodore snapped his fingers.
“Kendall, go to my private storage room and get the gift I prepared for Dayanara.”
