In the hall.
Elijah also happened to step out of the elevator. The four of them met in the lobby. Elijah took a cold look and glanced at Esther.
As soon as their eyes met, she glared at him and looked away.
She really couldn’t show a nice face for a man who had raped her.
Ethel naturally paid attention to the expressions in Elijah and Esther’s eyes-right, there was a real situation. “Let’s go, our president will also come with us!”
Esther was startled and wanted to say no, but if she didn’t go, didn’t she tell everyone that she had a special relationship with the president? So she forced herself to go. It was not a big deal anyway.
The atmosphere was a little weird. When the four of them walked out of the building, they just happened to meet Winnie who was carrying a white satchel. When she saw the four of them coming out, Winnie’s eyes were red. “Ethel!”
“Winnie, why are you here?” Ethel raised his eyebrows. “Where’s my brother?”
Winnie?
Esther was stunned for a second, Ethel called Hudson brother?
What was his relationship with Hudson?
“He’s busy!” Winnie smiled awkwardly at Ethel. “Ethel, I feel so awkward!”
“You are my brother’s wife. Let’s go, let’s go to dinner together, we were just about to go to eat!”
Winnie glanced at Esther, she nodded slightly.
“Okay, I’ll go with you!” Winnie took Elijah’s arm affectionately, the two walked out first. She asked in a low voice, ” Elijah, are you and Esther really the kind of relationship as they say in the newspaper?”
The number of people for the meal suddenly became five.
The atmosphere was even more weird.
Elijah didn’t answer Winnie, but just said, “If you feel unhappy, leave Hudson and don’t wrong yourself!”
“I know!” Winnie nodded.
Esther and Lilah were sitting together, but they happened to be sitting opposite Elijah. Seeing Elijah, she thought of last night-this damned man, was he addicted to bullying her? She must take revenge and make him see the worst!
Winnie and Elijah were next to each other, and Ethel was the host, sitting on the other side. The food was served very soon, Esther picked up her fork without looking at anyone.
“Esther, since you are Hudson’s sister, we are also a family!” Winnie said with a soft voice, and her eyes looked at Esther deeply.
“Oh, I’m hungry and want to eat!” After speaking, she smiled brightly at Winnie, “Winnie, please!”
“Esther, are you my brother’s sister?” Ethel always knew that his brother had adopted a girl, who had been with him for ten years, but he did not expect it to be Esther.
“Who are you again?” Esther raised her eyes. Hudson never said that he had a brother, and she really didn’t know who Ethel was.
“Didn’t he tell you about his family?” Ethel was stunned. The face in front of him looked very innocent, the little girl with frank and intriguing eyes was the girl his brother swore to marry, and almost gave up the family for, even his right to inherit, but in the end he didn’t know why he gave up.
“Ethel, aren’t you hungry?” Esther did not answer, but her eyes dimmed. She only knew that Hudson was the heir of the Ball family, Hudson was very good, and then Hudson married Winnie for no reason. It was all in the past, she didn’t want to mention it, she felt sad to mention it, so she just said lightly, “Let’s eat!”
The polite and alienated response made Ethel cast a glimpse of inquiry. He didn’t expect to meet her gaze, then they were staring at each other for three seconds. It was still neither humble nor arrogant, nor were they evasive, which made Ethel’s eyes look full of exploration and deterrence.
Elijah sat opposite her and began to eat too. His movements were very elegant, like the nobles of the British royal family. Esther gritted her teeth bitterly and knew that he only acted to be a gentleman, but he was actually a wretched man, a nasty wretched man!
Esther took a bite and glared at him. Then she lowered her head and ate boringly. It was really complicated. The people at this table were really complicated and their relationship was too.
Ethel didn’t eat, and kept looking at Esther. She seemed to look resentful in Elijah’s eyes, and the most surprising thing was that she was actually the girl his brother liked!
Perceiving the gaze from the side, Esther raised her brows and squinted over, staring at Ethel and said, “If you don’t want to eat, why are you looking at me?”
For a moment, Winnie looked at Ethel with a puzzled look, and Elijah’s sight became displeased, even Lilah was stunned.
Having the eyes of three people on him, Ethel couldn’t bear it, and coughed twice, “Nothing, just eat.”
Esther curled her mouth and continued to eat. Elijah’s face became heavier and heavier, and his gaze inadvertently turned away from Esther, facing the provocative gaze that she cast, a complex light flashed in his eyes, and there was a hint of a smile that came up.
Lilah looked at Elijah carefully, thinking in her heart, was Elijah really gay? Why didn’t he look like it? The way he looked at Esther clearly showed a problem, a person who was a gay should be looking at a man like Ethel, why would he look at women?
Lilah took a bite and looked at Esther, who looked up.
Lilah pointed with her lips and turned towards Elijah.
Esther also glanced at Elijah, raising an eyebrow, wondering. What did he mean?
Lilah blinked and leaned towards Esther’s ear and said, “Is the president really a gay?”
“Ahem, ahem, ahem…” Esther, who had just taken a sip of soup, was choking. She coughed and smiled awkwardly, “Lilah, we are eating, can we stop talking about this, ahem, ahem…”
“I’m just curious, is he?” Lilah glanced at her, and she did not shy away at all, but glanced at Elijah again.
“Be careful!” Ethel handed the cup filled with warm water to Esther. She didn’t even look at it and took a sip. Suddenly, her eyes rolled and a glimmer of light flashed. This was a good opportunity to retaliate against him! Damn guy, just wait for it!
Elijah’s gaze narrowed and projected on Esther’s face, as if he was looking for something, but her face was flushed with the cough and a guilty conscience.
“Why are you so careless? Are my words funny?” Lilah looked at her puzzled.
“What did she say?” Ethel asked curiously.
For a while, Winnie was also a little curious, “I want to know too!”
Lilah didn’t want to say in front of Elijah what he was. She pondered a little and said with a smile, “We were telling funny jokes, of course it’s just a joke, haha!”
When Lilah said this, she looked at Elijah subconsciously.
Who knew that Esther suddenly said, “Have you ever been to that G Bar?”
“Ah! It seem to be quit unique, right?” Lilah had heard of it.
Elijah held his spoon still as soon as Esther spoke, took the napkin and wiped his mouth gracefully, then looked at Esther for a while.
Esther was taken aback, and held Elijah’s sight bravely, as she continued, “There are many women bidding for men. Last time I didn’t know about it, I went in by mistake. I just saw the president spend 5 million to buy a boy. Isn’t that right, sister?”
“Sister?” Ethel was stunned, then suddenly his expression changed and he laughed wildly. “God, why sister?”
Esther ignored him, but took another provocative look at Elijah. She wanted him to be ashamed in front of everyone, to see if he still dared to harass women!
Everyone looked at Elijah, but there was no angry expression on his face. Instead, there was a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth, it was so strange that they did not know what he was thinking.
“Elijah, did you really buy a man?” Winnie asked this question that she kept in her heart for the first time.
“Yeah! Why do you spend so much money on a man? Why don’t you give us the funds, so that Lilah and Esther don’t have to go to trick those bosses of huge companies every day, they were almost ruined by them!” Ethel said funnily.
“The boy was very cool, his eyes were like swords. I guess that my sister would fall in love with him at first sight!” Esther continued to add oil to the fire. “Isn’t it?”
“Elijah, are the rumors true?” Ethel looked at him.
Elijah successfully caught Esther’s eyes turn from sadness to victory joy, he smiled coldly, then looked around playfully, but said nothing.
His expression showed neither joy nor anger, which made Esther feel a little guilty. His eyes were still on Esther’s face, but with his stern face she couldn’t see his intention.
“Elijah, this is not true!” Winnie shook her head. “You really bought a boy? My God! What did you buy him for?”
“Of course to use him!” Esther flattened her mouth, giving Elijah another hit.
“To use him or to be used by him?” Ethel looked at Elijah amused, and then looked at Esther. Of course he didn’t believe that Elijah was a gay. He was curious about how Elijah would react to Esther’s provocation.
“Mr. Perry, in fact, we will not laugh at you. We fully respect your privacy. We will not let others know about what was talked about today!” Lilah said kindly.
“Impossible!” Winnie shook her head. “My brother is not gay!”
Esther started eating proudly, “It’s delicious, Lilah, look at these ribs, they are so delicious!”
“Esther, did you really see it?” Winnie asked puzzled.
“Yes, Winnie, five million, how great would it be to donate it to an orphanage! It doesn’t make any sense to sleep with a boy or be slept by a boy for one night!” Esther said while eating, still very provocative while she was looking at Elijah. “What’s so exciting about sensory stimulation? What a disgusting behavior to have your butthole fucked!”
“Damn! We’re eating, let’s not talk about such disgusting stuff, okay?” Ethel couldn’t help cursing, he felt disgusting just thinking about it.
“You don’t need to eat, even if someone was having his butt fucked in front of me, I would keep eating happily!” Esther didn’t care about Ethel and said disdainfully.
Lilah and Winnie couldn’t help but feeling sick. “Esther, let’s not talk about such a topics, okay?”
“Okay! Let’s eat!” Esther smiled, with well appetite.
“Little woman! Is it fun for you to lie without your conscience?” Elijah suddenly said playfully, his black eyes flashed deeply, he were staring at Esther’s astonished face.
“Who do you call a little woman ?” Esther frowned, she felt ants creeping on her.
“You need to stop joking when it’s enough, otherwise don’t blame me if at night…” Elijah leaned against the table. The sharpness in the air had been completely suppressed, he still looked cold and arrogant, which made her unable to see the thoughts in his head.
