Chapter 30 – Too Unwarranted

Book:The Selfish CEO Published:2024-6-2

Olivia Scott’s face grew harder and harder as she jerked her hand away and snorted, “What’s there to envy? Boyfriends are just boyfriends, they could break up at any time! Just wait and see!”
“…” Young Moore and Michelle Collins looked at each other, momentarily speechless. That’s a bit too acidic to say, isn’t it?
Zoey Baker put down her juice and couldn’t help but look at Olivia Scott twice, only to see her eyes still lingering between Andrea Jones and Lewis Brown, her eyes dark, not knowing what she was thinking.
Zoey Baker secretly shook her head and sighed. Jealousy, really women can not escape the careful eye.

Lewis Brown was surrounded by the same crowd as Neal Williams, leaving Andrea Jones sitting alone at the corner bar with her juice .
The eyes, following the figure of Lewis Brown, but, occasionally, will inexplicably slip away. When I looked back, I realized that I was looking at Neal Williams.
Cloaked in radiant light, he elegantly stood in the crowd. A knitted brows, a smile, a move, all show noble atmosphere. The body of the point of view of the atmosphere is even more people can not help but convince.
This man, the nobleman’s quiet nobility, the interpretation of perfection.
“Looking at who?” A familiar voice rang out from overhead. She looked up, bumped into Garret Miller’s probing gaze, and she sheepishly drew her eyes back and greeted him with an air of composure: “Mr. Miller.”
Garret Miller sat down close to her, turned sideways, rested his elbows lazily on the bar, and smiled at her, “How about I take a guess?”
“Guess what?”
“Guess who you were just looking at, no, I should say, guess who you were thinking about here.” Garret Miller’s long, slender finger pointed to her temple.
Andrea Jones froze. The hand holding the cup tightened quietly, her heartbeat inexplicably quickened, and she was actually a little afraid of Garret Miller’s answer.
She was afraid that the answer would overwhelm her.
With a dry laugh, she was busy saying, “That’s not suspenseful at all, of course I’m thinking of Lewis Brown!”
It was said with conviction and determination, as if it could convince Garret Miller and himself.
Garret Miller laughed a little and shook his head lazily, his eye waves flowing in the shadow of the lamp, brimming and ambiguous, “I don’t think so.”
Andrea Jones stared at Garret Miller with her eyes wide open.
He leisurely poured a glass of whiskey and took a sip before smiling and turning his face sideways, “Actually, you’re thinking …”
Intentionally teasing her, he deliberately paused and winked before leisurely saying the rest of his words, “Wondering about the person who gave you this dress, am I right?”
At his words, Andrea Jones was stunned for a moment, then nodded almost immediately, “Yes … that’s right.”
A long sigh of relief. In fact, even you don’t know what you’re afraid of, or rather, what you’re afraid of being poked.
Garret Miller laughed loudly and darted his eyes back and forth over her, making her squirm away in embarrassment.
After a while, noticing that he was still staring at her, Andrea Jones simply turned back and glared at him with those penetrating eyes to express her strong displeasure.
Garret Miller smiled and averted his eyes, exclaiming, “Good eye! Sure is a good eye!”
“What?”
“I mean, the person who sent you the gown had a good eye.” Garret Miller smiled enigmatically, “Anli’s handiwork. What, he wants to chase you?”
“No, we’re just friends.” Andrea Jones hastily waved her hand to explain.
Garret Miller laughs and doesn’t say anything.
Friends?
Tsk, this Jiang Er Shao is really well intentioned ah! To please a woman even dump so many gimmicks. But, so pathetic …
People just consider him as a friend ah!
The two were chatting when the venue suddenly rang out with lively music. A pair, with their partner sliding into the dance floor. The skirts are flying, the bodies are dancing, what a beautiful picture.
Andrea Jones looked up and saw Penny Brown sliding onto the dance floor with Neal Williams on her arm.
For a moment, she saw Neal Williams’ eyes looking toward her. But when she tried to get a closer look, he had already moved away.
It’s your own illusion, right?
And the other side of Lewis Brown …
He stood alone, holding a glass of wine in the other corner. His eyes, sunken on the dance floor, no, to be precise, his gaze also followed the two most dazzling figures on the dance floor, just like her.
Just …
At this moment, he looks, has been overwhelmed by loneliness and despair. Like a lost child, it looks so heartbreaking.
She was worried and tried to come forward, but …
“It’s better not to go over there.” Garret Miller’s words blocked her movement.
“It looks like your boyfriend doesn’t want anyone to bother him. If he really needed your comfort, I wouldn’t have had the chance to sit here with you and talk so much.”
Andrea Jones was slightly stunned, but wasn’t he telling the truth?
Looking at her, Garret Miller slid handsomely down from his high chair, bowed with a gentleman’s chest and handed her a hand, “Why don’t you give me the first dance, OK?”
Her eyes, hesitantly, eased away from Lewis Brown to look at Garret Miller, “I’m sorry, I … actually, not quite.”
“You can bear to reject me in front of so many staff members? Well … it would make me lose face.”
Andrea Jones looks around the room.
Fruity …
There were many girls standing alone on the dance floor, eagerly awaiting Garret Miller’s invitation. If you turn him down, not only will you be branded as a bad person, but you’ll really make Garret Miller look bad.
She slowly got up and hesitantly handed her hand over to Garret Miller, “Well, I’ll try …”
In fact, she is not too sure that she can dance a complete dance. Because … such a dance, each other’s bodies are too close to each other, which will make her terrified and uncomfortable.

Fruity …
From the moment Garret Miller’s hand was on her waist, her entire body was tense as a rock.
Garret Miller didn’t care, but smiled and encouraged her .
Occasionally, she would rub shoulders with Neal Williams and Penny Brown. Close enough that she could feel his minty scent on her breath. Light, but into the heart and lungs.

“The next thing you want to do is swap female partners.” Garret Miller winked at Andrea Jones, “With so many people on the floor, who do you want to swap?”
Exchange?
Andrea Jones grabbed Garret Miller’s suit in fear and shook her head for help, “Don’t …”
Because she was sure that Garret Miller was harmless, she tried very hard to overcome her fear of being close to each other. But this is her limit. If it were any other stranger, she would not be able to do it, and she does not want to embarrass the other person.
How could Garret Miller not see the fear in her eyes? With a reassuring smile, “Then I’ll pick out a satisfactory one for you.”
After that, he abruptly let go of the hand resting on her waist, the other hand holding her in a circle.
The fringe dances in the air, like a ghostly curtain in a dream. The dancing clouds, spinning in a circle, fell steadily into a bend of warm embrace.
The original panic, in the familiar breath filled magically settled down. The heartbeat of the handsome man in front of him was in turmoil for several beats.
At the moment, she can’t find any words, and even breathing is a little difficult.
The waist tightened and was encircled by a strong arm.
The man’s long legs, hands slightly force, her entire body was pulled into his embrace.
At that moment, her mind was on the spot and turned blank. Only the man’s burning and focused eyes were flowing, calling her mouth dry.
“Don’t be nervous, relax.” The low voice, like a note, jumped over her heart.
Returning to her senses, she gasped sharply, some woeful adjustment of breathing, fingers clutching his blouse, “I … I’m not very good at dancing.”
Locking his eyes on her, Neal Williams had a light smirk under his deep eyes, laced with snickering, “See it already.”
Andrea Jones was embarrassed.
So, just now, he saw all his clumsy appearance?
“This gown …” Neal Williams’ eyes looked over from top to bottom before meeting her eyes again, the color of his eyes deepening.
Andrea Jones was busy saying, “It’s from a friend.”
“Oh.” He raised his tail, with a curiously inquisitive look, “What kind of friend?”
“A very good friend.”
“Men?”
She froze for a moment and lifted her eyes to look at him.
“I’m asking too much?” Neal Williams raised an unimpressed eyebrow and explained, “I just thought it should be a man who would make such an apt choice.”
“Is that so?” Andrea Jones pursed her lips and said nothing more, the tide of her heart swirling but unabated.
She was much more relaxed now than she had been with Garret Miller. The steps were unskilled, but Neal Williams was an absolute master, and with him leading the way, she didn’t make a fool of herself again.
But this feeling of being close, so wonderful … also made her vaguely a little worried. They, are they too close? It shouldn’t be like this …
The two danced on the dance floor, making many people present look red.
You can’t get any luckier than Andrea Jones! She has such a wonderful boyfriend and is favored by both Mr. Miller and Mr. Williams!
The other side.
Penny Brown was completely distracted, her eyes occasionally falling on the other two. But, to her dismay, Neal Williams never took his eyes off the road. It was as if Andrea Jones was the only one left in his eyes.
Occasionally, he raised a smile on his face, are called Penny Brown look alarmed.
Such a picture, so uncalled for!
Neal Williams is hers!
“Miss Brown, you’re my dance partner now. Can you be a little more professional?” Garret Miller reminded her discontentedly.
Penny Brown struggled, “Garret Miller, let’s switch back!”
Garret Miller raised an eyebrow, “Why the rush? That girl is a clumsy dancer, I still prefer to dance with you.”
“But …”
“Afraid that our second youngest will be robbed?” Garret Miller smiled with a brimming and confusing smile and teased her, “When did Miss Ruan lose confidence so much? How many men are staring at you in this venue! Here, there’s one right there.”
As he spoke, Garret Miller’s lower jaw gestured toward Lewis Brown on the sidelines with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Sure enough, Lewis Brown’s eyes, were falling on them.
Penny Brown gave Garret Miller a sour look, “Stop this nonsense. Let it go!”
“OK! OK! No more drama!” Garret Miller knew Penny Brown’s nature, he could not drag it out for long. Being a brother, it can only help so much.
Just before he was about to let go of Penny Brown, the gilded door was suddenly pushed open again.
Penny Brown and Garret Miller stopped, as did Neal Williams and Andrea Jones .
A couple.
Even after middle age, however, the woman is still charming and the man is still graceful.
Andrea Jones looked at them curiously, and Neal Williams bent his head and explained in a low voice, “My parents.”
“Ah …” she dawned on her, “No wonder.”
It is really a family, that eye-catching style and temperament, unusually outstanding.
“Neal,” Penny Brown called softly to him as she approached.
Without immediately turning back, Neal Williams did look at Andrea Jones first. Only to see her stunned for a moment, the next second, a quick step back, careful to keep a distance from him.
Penny Brown tightened her eyes and walked over, tightening her arms around him, “Uncle and aunt are coming over, let’s go say hello, shall we?”
Neal Williams also looked at Andrea Jones, his eyes deep, dark and unclear, people can not detect his mind at the moment.
