Facing Seth Sterling’s sharp gaze, the manager couldn’t help but tremble slightly, then cautiously spoke, "Of course... of course we’ll throw out the troublemakers downstairs..."
"Don’t you dare!"
Seth Sterling raised a hand to rub his temples. That girl was Master Damian’s favorite. If she got thrown out, Master Damian would kill him!
"Rember her face, even if she tears down the entire Elysian Pavilion in the future, you mustn’t lay a finger on her."
"Yes, yes, Young Master Sterling, I’ve got it, I’ve got it..."
Seeing Seth Sterling’s serious expression, the manager quickly and respectfully agreed, his heart secretly shocked. Just what kind of background did this girl have to make Young Master Sterling so wary?!
...
"Ah... it hurts like hell... You damn bitch, how dare you treat like this? I’m the young master of the Miller Family; they won’t let you get away with this..."
Before he could finish his harsh words, Serena Everett kicked him again, her delicate eyebrows lowered, her tone both arrogant and wild.
"Won’t let get away with it? I’ll be waiting for you not to let get away with it."
This kind of sleazy tactic of his, who knows how many girls he’s hard. Even if I kill him now, it’s for the greater good!
"Serena..."
Hearing a familiar voice behind her, Serena Everett silently withdrew her foot from his face and turned to blink obediently at Damian Quinn.
The look on her face now seed harmless, in stark contrast to the fierce attitude she had monts before.
"I was waiting for you obediently, but he insisted on provoking ."
Listening to the serious explanation from the girl, Damian Quinn felt as though his always-cold heart was suddenly lting away.
How can she be so heart-achingly endearing?
"Are you hurt?" Damian Quinn asked, taking long strides toward her, carefully checking her over.
Serena shook her head, "No."
How could she possibly get hurt dealing with this useless person?
Once he confird she was unhard, Damian Quinn’s tense expression eased slightly, and then he turned to give Chase Sherman an order.
"Take him away and clean this up."
Chase Sherman imdiately responded with respectful compliance, "Yes, Master Damian."
Catching a whiff of alcohol on her, Damian Quinn gently rubbed her head with his palm and asked in a low voice, "Have you been drinking?"
Serena felt the aftereffects of the drink hitting her, her head a bit dizzy, and she instinctively nuzzled into his palm, replying softly.
"Just a little bit."
Her obedient deanor lted Damian Quinn’s heart, the charming peach blossom eyes softened with a smile, his voice tenderly asking, "Why did you drink?"
"I was unhappy," Serena replied quietly, pursing her red lips.
"Our little one was feeling wronged, hmm?"
Damian Quinn held her in his arms, his gaze tenderly fixated on her, gently soothing her with his lowered voice.
"Tell big brother who it was, and I’ll get back at them for you."
Hearing his protective tone, Serena felt a warmth rising in her heart, but her head grew heavier. She reached out to him for warmth, "Hold ..."
Before Damian Quinn could embrace her, Serena had already thrown herself into his arms, her delicate arms wrapping tightly around his narrow waist.
Damian Quinn chuckled lowly, then reached out to hug her in return, his voice deep and gentle beyond belief.
"Alright, big brother is holding our Serena..."
Returning from the restroom, Jude Ford was first taken aback by the scene, but quickly, realization hit him and he flared up, charging at Damian Quinn.
"Damn, who the heck are you? Let go of my boss right now!"
He just went to the bathroom for a mont, and now soone dares to make a move on his boss? He’d chop off this man’s hands!
But before Jude Ford could reach Damian Quinn, he was blocked by a group of bodyguards in black.
"Damn it, all of you get out of the way..."
Damian Quinn’s cool, icy gaze fell on the agitated Jude Ford, his eyes deepening.
This was the young man Seth Sterling ntioned on the phone, the one always by the girl’s side?
He was indeed quite young, but he was just a kid; the girl certainly wouldn’t fancy him.
"Let him co over."
At Damian Quinn’s command, the group of bodyguards imdiately released Jude Ford, allowing him to co closer.
For so reason, facing Damian Quinn’s gaze, Jude Ford felt an inexplicable sense of awe fill his heart. Even though he was scared, protecting his boss was more important!
"Let go of my boss..." As he saw Serena clinging tightly to Damian Quinn, Jude Ford lost his confidence, lightly coughed, and spoke awkwardly, "Move aside, I want to take my boss back!"
Damian Quinn remained unchanged, but the aura emanating from him was undeniably intimidating, inducing fear in others without him displaying anger.
"That depends on who Serena wants to leave with."
"My boss would definitely choose to leave with !" Jude Ford said confidently, "Hmph, you wouldn’t think just because my boss hugged you, she wants to leave with you, would you?"
"Oh, really?"
Damian Quinn’s presence suddenly turned icy cold, causing Jude Ford’s body to shiver involuntarily.
He forced down the odd fear rising in his heart and leaned closer to Serena, "Boss, will you leave with or him?"
Given their life-and-death friendship, he couldn’t believe his boss would choose to leave with this man!
"Let’s go, boss. I’ll take you ho..."
Yet before he could finish, Serena pushed him away, "You’re so noisy, go away..."
Serena showed no concealnt of her disdain for him, while her delicate arms still clung tightly to Damian Quinn’s narrow waist. Her choice was evident.
Jude Ford felt as if a dagger had been brutally thrust into his heart, speaking with sheer anguish, "Boss, after everything we’ve been through, you’re choosing him? What does he have that I don’t?"
With her head aching from his nagging, Serena shut him down with one sentence.
"He’s better-looking than you."
Jude Ford: "..."
Damn it!
Though he didn’t want to admit it, it was indeed true.
"Heh." The man let out a low chuckle, the sound sending a tingling sensation through one’s ears, "Little one, do you like brother’s face?"
"It’s alright," Serena replied with a pout, "I don’t especially like it."
"Then it seems I need to work even harder," Damian Quinn said with a broader smile on his lips, his deep, magnetic voice teasing her ear, "Want to stay at big brother’s place tonight again?"
Serena didn’t hesitate, nodding in agreent, "Okay."
She didn’t want to return to the Everett Family today.
Damian Quinn had only ant to tease her, but her quick agreent caught him off guard, his long, deep eyes revealing a hint of helplessness, but even more a sense of fondness.
"Little one, from now on, you can’t agree to go ho with other n, understood?"
Serena blinked softly, her stunningly beautiful eyes filled with slight mischief as she deliberately spoke.
"Uncle, you’re so naggy!"
This little thing was deliberately provoking him again!
In Damian Quinn’s eyes, a profound look of helplessness appeared, and he reached out a hand to her, his lazy, amused voice carrying a strangely seductive tone.
"Okay, Uncle won’t nag anymore, little one, co ho with ."
Serena hesitated for a mont but finally placed her hand in his palm, allowing him to lead her away.
Watching their departing figures, Jude Ford still couldn’t process what had happened.
What just happened?
Did the boss just leave him behind like that?!
