“Why don’t you go get some cake?” Flynn approached Madeline and Scarlet with two pieces of cake in hand.
“I don’t like it!” Madeline turned her head to the side, unenthusiastically.
Scarlet rolled her eyes and grunted, “I don’t want any.”
Flynn looked confused but continued to ask, “Do you two want to dance?”
“No! Thank you,” Madeline replied flatly.
Scarlet scowled and said, “No thanks.”
“Okay then,” Flynn shrugged and walked over to Rose with the cake.
“I didn’t realize you were such a ladies’ man,” Rose chuckled as she watched Madeline’s jealous expression. She elegantly wiped her mouth with a napkin after taking a small bite of the cake that Callie had personally delivered to her.
“It must be because of your good luck that Callie brought me this cake,” she added while looking at Flynn. As owner of only a small business now that Sharp’s Group had gone bankrupt, there was no way she could have gotten Callie’s attention on her own.
“You could say that,” Flynn replied nonchalantly while eating his cake. “I cured Callie’s illness.”
“Oh really? I guessed as much,” Rose nodded slightly in surprise.
At this moment, Braiden and Ismael walked over with dark expressions on their faces.
Flynn looked past Braiden and smiled at Ismael behind him saying, “Mr. Cox, are you here to give me money?”
Ismael’s face tightened as he threw the check in front of Flynn fiercely saying, “Don’t get too proud! You might have money now but who knows how long it will last? Keep it for your funeral expenses!”
Ignoring Ismael’s impotent rage, Flynn pocketed the check before turning back towards Rose smiling, “Luck is on my side today. Nothing can stop me now.”
“Who would’ve thought I’d find one million dollars just by having breakfast together?”
Rose raised an eyebrow before lifting up her glass for a toast towards Flynn before taking another sip from it.
Braiden slammed his hands down onto the table when he saw them acting so casually together. He leaned forward menacingly towards Flynn saying coldly, “Stay away from Miss Pearce from now on or else…”
He paused for emphasis before continuing, “… you won’t even be able look at her without losing an eye or breaking your hand.”
He glared down at Flynn across from him like he was talking down upon an ant, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Flynn laughed mockingly after hearing Braiden’s threat, “You’re going to break my hand or gouge out my eyes?”
He saw the other person’s determined and cold gaze, stood up, and shouted towards a nearby place, “Miss Pearce!”
Callie was chatting with some friends when she saw Flynn calling her. She walked over with a smile on her face.
Ismael’s face changed and he couldn’t help but curse under his breath, “After Mr. Swanson warned you, you turned around and complained. That’s really not being a man!”
“Mr. Clark, have you finished eating?” Callie walked over and smiled at Flynn, “Can we dance now?”
Flynn looked at Callie’s face seriously and nodded with a smile, “I only know how to dance Latin dances, the wild kind.”
“I don’t know if you know how to do it or not, but it’s okay even if you don’t. I’ll teach you!”
Upon seeing this, Braiden’s lips turned black with anger.
This was clearly going against him!
Rose saw this scene, smiled and shook her head.
She had figured out Flynn’s personality.
This guy was a troublemaker, but if people spoke to him nicely, he might calm down and had a chat with them.
The more defiant they were, the more he ignored them and went against them, doing it right in front of them!
Callie nodded in amazement, excitedly saying, “Yes! I will! I’ve learned Latin dance!”
She took Flynn to the dance floor.
As they walked past Scarlet and Madeline, the scent of perfume on Callie kept stimulating Scarlet’s nerves.
Intense jealousy surged within her once again!
Madeline was also stunned, she didn’t expect Flynn to have just cut the cake with her and then be pulled away by Callie!
After a while, Callie came out from backstage wearing a black dress with a high neckline.
The hemline was very short, only covering the thighs and revealing long and fair skin. The back was also exposed, giving off a cold and glamorous vibe.
She walked to the center of the dance floor and gently extended her hand, which Flynn chivalrously caught. The two began to dance along with the music.
The music was wild and the dance was unrestrained, the two of them cooperated with each other very tacitly, and the overall performance flowed smoothly.
“Wow, he really dances well! That guy must be feeling on top of the world today. He took advantage of every opportunity and even touched Miss Pearce’s thigh!”
“Well, he just touched Miss Pearce’s butt earlier! Damn, I’m so fucking envious!”
“That slender waist, fair skin, and virginity… tsk tsk! I have to say, this bastard… is really fortunate to have such beauty…”
Braiden listened to the discussion of the crowd, his mouth trembling with anger.
He loosened his tie and took a few swigs of alcohol, wishing he could tear Flynn apart!
Madeline saw this scene and couldn’t help but sniffle. She felt so frustrated – she didn’t even have feelings for Flynn, so why was she feeling this way?
“Old pervert!” Scarlet muttered to herself as she stomped her foot and turned her head away.
As the dance ended, the whole room erupted in applause. Callie looked at Flynn’s face seriously and said, “Thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, I might not have made it through this year. I would’ve killed myself soon.”
Flynn smiled back and replied casually, “It’s nothing.”
“To you maybe it’s nothing, but to me it means everything,” Callie said gratefully with tears in her eyes. “You saved my life and gave me a new one. If you ever needs anything from me again in the future, please don’t hesitate to ask!”
“My door is always open for you.”
The two exchanged contact information before parting ways with smiles on their faces.
Everyone saw how happy they were talking together but still couldn’t figure out why Callie was being so nice to Flynn.
“I heard that Mr. Swanson has quite a few women around him. Could it be that Miss Pearce, knowing this, got angry and intentionally got close to someone else to provoke Mr. Swanson!” a guest pondered aloud.
Upon hearing this statement, the crowd first appeared stunned, then nodded in agreement.
“That makes sense! Miss Pearce must have investigated Mr. Swanson beforehand and got angry when she found out about all his female companions!”
“Yeah! No wonder Miss Pearce wasn’t interested in a 5 million dollar Century Red Diamond but instead fell for a paper crane made by him. She was just trying to make Mr. Swanson jealous!”
“Miss Pearce is clearly picky – she’d rather give the opportunity of cutting cake or dancing with someone else than giving them up to a playboy like Mr. Swanson!”
Braiden overheard everyone talking about this situation with anger boiling inside him towards Flynn even more than before.
Madeline listened carefully then suddenly realized something, “I was wondering how someone like Flynn who looks average without any remarkable skills could win over Miss Pearce’s heart? Now I know why!”
“This guy is still smiling thinking he hit the jackpot when he doesn’t realize that he has already offended Mr. Swanson!”
“Flying off on impulse with Miss Pearce will only make things worse. He’ll probably invite me again because he’s afraid I’ll get mad.”
“If he does that, I’ll give him a chance. It’s not about jealousy, after all, we’re technically married and I have to give him some face!” Madeline was lost in thought when Flynn approached.
She quickly regained her composure and waited for Flynn to speak.
However, Scarlet had already greeted him and dragged him back onto the dance floor.
“I want to dance too! Let’s do some Latin dancing!”
Madeline stood frozen in place as her mouth twitched twice…
