She saw him when she entered the room. He sat on the right side of the three men with a ss of wine in his hand. Hezily leaned back on the couch. He looked very calm when he saw her but kept staring at her.
Selene frowned and pondered if she should find an excuse to leave.
“Take it easy, Selene,” Mr. ck continued. “Let me introduce these gentlemen to you. This guy is the big boss of SSGB, Mr. Clint Denovan, and the other Mr. Johnson Keller, a well-known architect.”
Before Selene made any response, Emily grinned. “We all know these two sessful men.” She then blinked towards her good friend, Selene. “Selene, sit down, please. How about singing a song for us? You’re really good at singing. Show us your beautiful voice.”
Emily soon started enjoying herself with the men in the room. Hypnotized by the fact that they were handsome and rich, she soon forgot all other considerations and talked happily with Eric beside her.
Selene silently judged and did nothing.
Johnson and Clint sat by each other, and when Johnson saw Seleneing towards them, he moved to make some space between him and Clint for her.
When Selene got to the couch, Clint quickly moved to Johnson and left no space for her.
Selene froze.
Confused about what had just happened, Johnson moved himself away from one again to leave some space for Selene while Clint followed him.
“Clint, what are you doing?” Johnson asked, frowning.
“Sit here,” Clint said calmly, patting the empty space to his right.
Johnson grinned and whispered. “Clint, your dog.”
Ignoring him, Clint looked at Selene.
Selene moved the corner of her lips and sat down by him.
Now, only Enzo stood there. Wanting to act as a wingman and not get in the girls’ way, he walked towards Selene and sat by her.
Clint nced at him and pointed the opposite way. “There is enough space by Eric. You should sit there.”
“Enzo,e sit here,” Eric called out.
Enzo felt speechless and moved to sit near Eric.
After they all sat down, Mr. ck couldn’t wait anymore for the singing to start. He took a microphone and spoke into it. “I’ve heard that Selene has a beautiful voice. How about singing a song with me? You guys just keep drinking. Keep on being boring. Selene and I will sing the first song.”
Though Selene had a beautiful singing voice, few people except Emily knew that. But Selene did not hesitate to sing as Eric invited her. She took another microphone.
Eric picked a ssic love song and asked Selene if she could sing it with him.
Selene knew it.
But it was a love song, and she felt a little uneasy singing it with a man who was a stranger to her.
As the CEO of the Legend Entertainment Company, Eric was very good at singing. He easily sang the beginning part of the love song. However, before the song got to Selene’s part, Clint grabbed her mic and took it away.
“Clint, what are you doing?” Eric protested.
“This song sucks. Why did you pick it?” Clint rolled his eyes.
“Okay, if you know a better one, then here you are. Sing it!” Eric put down his mic.
Sure enough, Clint picked a new song. It was also a love song, but softer than the previous one.
He calmly took Eric’s microphone and handed it to Selene. “Sing!”
Grabbing the mic from his hand, Selene felt a little speechless. But when she heard Clint singing, she felt very surprised.
She had never heard him sing before. She had assumed that the workaholic knew nothing about singing. Unexpectedly, he sang very well. The love song sounded very attractive to her ears.
When it was her turn to sing, she came back to life and nearly missed the tempo.
After Clint and Selene finished the song, all apuded in the room.
“You’ve never shown us how well you can sing, Clint.” Ericughed.
“Yes, you’re really good at hiding things. Maybe you will get married one day without telling us.” Johnson said ironically.
Clint red at Johnson. Johnson quickly changed the topic and grinned, “Selene, you have a beautiful voice. And you’re a clothing designer like my younger sister. I’ll introduce you to her.”
Selene soon realized that Johnson must be Jennifer’s older brother.
Jennifer’s brother is not an asshole like she is. Selene thought to herself.
“Let’s continue singing,” Eric said and poured some wine into his ss. He walked to Selene and invited her to drink with him. “Drink with me, Selene.”
Before Selene could respond, Clint grabbed Selene’s ss and drank it.
“What are you doing?”
“Go away, Eric,” Clint shouted.Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.
“What’s wrong with you, Clint? There are twodies here; what’s gotten into you today? Have you been single all your life?” Eric joked.
Eric went back to his seat and continued ying and joking with Emily. He decided to leave Clint alone by himself.
Clint stopped singing and started drinking by himself silently.
Selene sat by him and was seemingly excluded by the others. She felt a little bored. Seeing him drinking so much, she stretched out her hand to grab his ss. “Stop drinking. Your face is pale now.” Selene said quietly.
Clint put down his ss and stood up, then left. Maybe he went to the toilet.
Johnson walked over to her and asked, “What did you tell him?”
“I asked him to stop drinking because he looks like he’s about to throw up.”
“Yeah, that’s weird. He rarely drinks so much.” Johnson said. “Do you know my sister, Jenny? She’s also a clothing designer.”
“Yes.” Selene nodded honestly.
Before Selene and Johnson could continue their conversation, Clint staggered towards them and sat by them, pushing Johnson away.
“Clint. Why did you drink so much? What’s wrong?” Johnson asked.
Clint touched his forehead. “Nothing. I’m okay.”
Other than Selene, Clint, and Johnson, everyone else enjoyed themselves.
Selene was very bored. Sitting by her ex-husband, she felt awkward. She stood up and turned to Emily and Enzo. “I think I’ll call it a night and head home. I’m feeling tired. But you guys should stay.”
