She sat lazily, her hair tied up high with a few strands falling down, adding to her seductive charm.
Her delicate face blossod with a luxurious smile, like a rare snow lotus on a mountaintop, exuding an air of icy elegance.
Yet, the brightness in her eyes was like a sudden ray of sunshine on a rainy afternoon.
Her deanor was elegant, and her large, expressive eyes sparkled with a captivating light. Compared to the wealthy socialites, she was filled with a natural, enchanting aura that made it hard for people to look away.
Such a woman could indeed capture Eric’s heart.
She wasn’t the most beautiful, but she was unforgettable!
Henry frowned slightly, surprised that the cold and ruthless man could also fall in love.
But... if such a woman fell for Henry, what would the outco be? What kind of blow would this be to Eric?
Henry smirked. What annoyed him the most was Eric’s disdain, disrespect, and defiance towards their mother.
And this woman, the mont he saw her, he felt a desire to conquer her!
Ella sensed soone watching her intently from a distance. She raised her eyebrows slightly and t Henry’s burning gaze.
She slightly reined in her smile and turned her gaze away coldly.
Ella began to look for Eric in the crowd and noticed that the narcissistic Hannah was approaching him again!
Ella paused for a mont but remained seated, her heart full of trust in Eric.
Hannah, feeling shy, walked closer to Eric.
Eric was talking to Mason. Despite the unpleasantness on the cruise, he had to admit that without Mason, Ella might have been hard!
"Mr. Nelson, we will have the opportunity to collaborate. The family matters can’t be delayed, so I might co next month, or you could et with my people in Country W," Mason said seriously.
Eric nodded, "Okay, you should go. That day’s incident is behind us now."
"All behind us!" Mason grinned and noticed Hannah approaching, "Another wilted flower clinging to you, I’ll leave now!"
Mason’s words were overheard by Hannah, and her face turned pale. She glared at Mason’s retreating figure, realizing she didn’t know him at all!
But she rembered seeing him on the dream cruise, where she had been quite taken aback by his presence.
Yet, she hadn’t offended him, so why was he so venomous, belittling her?
"Mr. Nelson, you seem tired from greeting guests. Would you like to sit over there?" Hannah said softly with a smile.
Eric suppressed a flicker of coldness in his eyes and returned a seductive smile, his eyes like a magnet, making it hard for Hannah to look away.
"Sure, I am a bit tired," Eric smiled slightly.
He turned and walked toward a sofa, with Hannah following closely. This scene was witnessed by Avery, whose eyes turned icy.
"Damn bitch, setting her sights on my man! No wonder she was so helpful before; her real goal was to get Eric!" Avery muttered, and Emma frowned, "Sis, Hannah has never been an easy person. I always suspected she had a motive for getting close to us, and now she’s finally showing her true colors!"
Avery’s eyes glead with malice. "A woman like her is just as shaless as that bitch Ella!"
"Sis, it’s best to deal with such won quickly!"
"Not tonight. This is an important event for Eric. We can’t cause a scene here!" Despite her hatred for Hannah, Avery was still rational.
The sisters exchanged a look, keeping a cold watch on Hannah and Eric.
"Mr. Nelson, would you like a drink? Perhaps a cocktail?" Hannah’s voice was sweet and coquettish, the kind many n found irresistible.
But Eric despised it. Maybe it was because of Grace, but he had an intense aversion to affected won.
Nevertheless, he kept a pleasant smile, not revealing his true feelings.
"No, thank you. I don’t want to drink too much," Eric politely declined.
Hannah was still delighted. After all, it was the first ti Eric was willing to sit with her, the first ti he was willing to be close to her.
Not far away, Brianna noticed her daughter with Eric and felt overjoyed. It seed her daughter had good fortune.
"Mr. Nelson, what kind of won do you generally like?" Hannah’s eyes were sultry, and her voice was soft enough to lt hearts.
Eric swirled the half-empty wine glass, a gentle smile playing on his lips. "The won I like need to be smart, witty, and strong. For instance, I had a client who was a single mother, only thirty years old, but incredibly competent. She brought in hundreds of big contracts for her company and always received the highest year-end bonuses."
Hannah was stunned. She was still a student and certainly didn’t have such business acun.
Trying to please him, Hannah quickly forced a smile. "I see. Strong, independent won are indeed admirable. I believe I can beco such a woman too."
Eric raised an eyebrow slightly. "Younger Ms. Davis, a pampered lady, stepping out into the business world?"
Hannah beca anxious. "I... I’ll prove it to you!"
"Alright, prove it to tonight. I believe Mr. Taylor is negotiating a few projects with your family. If you can secure a collaboration between the Davis Group and the Taylor Group tonight, then I’ll believe you can do it."
Eric’s lazy smile was nonchalant, but his gaze was intensely focused on Ella.
That girl had also arrived. The evening dress she wore beautifully outlined her figure, making it difficult for him to suppress his growing desire.
Noticing Eric’s attention on Ella, Hannah stood up abruptly. "I’ll go right away. Mr. Nelson, keep an eye on !"
With that, she swayed her hips as she walked towards Mr. Taylor. This Mr. Taylor was actually the brother of the one who had been with William previously.
Eric didn’t mind the Taylor family’s antics being played out at the Elite Horizon Club.
As Hannah walked away, Eric quickly threw a seductive glance at Ella, his handso face exuding a mischievous and arrogant smile.
He was telling her to watch the show.
Ella couldn’t help but smile slightly and turned her gaze towards Hannah. She was curious to see what kind of drama Eric had in store for her tonight.
