Wasnât he a clean freak?
Ellinor felt a bit strange. She frowned but didnât want to overthink it, so she urged the next player to play their card.
In the end, Ellinor put the last card on the table, once again claiming victory.
She raised an eyebrow at Jonah, âYour turn, Mr. Wyton! Iâm really looking forward to your dance!â
The smile on Jonahâs face disappeared at this moment.
Bartlett had a face full of anticipation for a great drama, âYes, Mr. Wyton. You raised the stakes yourself. It wouldnât be good if you couldnât deliver, right?â
Jonah crossed his arms and gave a side glance, âBartlett, are you still my friend? Does seeing me lose make you this happy?â
Kemp said coldly, âWhose fault is that? Isnât this something you brought upon yourself?â
Jonah pretended to be hurt, âKemp, youâre not even sympathizing with me!â
While Bartlett and Kemp were teasing Jonah, Ellinor heard Theoâs deep voice in her ear, saying sarcastically, âMs. Mendoza was lucky this time.â
Ellinor was taken aback but didnât turn her head to look at him and just replied softly, âIt was luck, but I still appreciate your guidance.â
âHow old are you, Ms. Mendoza? Donât you know people usually lose when they gamble? How could you accept a bet without assurance?â
âI didnât want to gamble either, but I donât want to be Jonahâs secretary!â
Theo was silent for a minute, then took a sip of water, âSo, youâre saying you only want to be Balfour Howardâs secretary?â
Ellinor nodded frankly, âUm, yes.â
Theo didnât say anything more as he suddenly gripped his cup tightly. The knuckles of his long fingers stood out more prominently, as if he were about to crush the porcelain cup.
Ellinor always felt a chilling atmosphere around her, so she subconsciously moved a bit further from him.
Her actions were very irritating in Theoâs eyes.
At this point, Kemp got up, ready to catch Jonah, who was trying to escape, sneering, âA betâs a bet.
Letâs go, Mr. Wyton; itâs time to fulfill your wager!â
Bartlett smiled and said, âEllinor, Theo, shall we go to the banquet hall and see how Jonah will dance?â
Theo didnât move right away. Although he had just said he wanted to see Jonah strip, he wasnât really interested.
On the other hand, Ellinor got up, âSure, it seems that todayâs guests are in for a treat!â
âHey, hey, hey, you guys are a bit too interested in my body! Youâre all so mean!â
This guy, Jonah, could still joke at such a moment?!
Banquet hall.
Kemp pushed Jonah directly to the center of the dance floor.
The gentlemen and ladies who were dancing the waltz didnât know what was going on. They saw Mr.
Blanchet, Mr. Larios, and Mr. Rex all standing by the dance floor watching Mr. Wyton in the center, so they all consciously backed off.
Jonahâs handsome face was still hanging a kind of strong smile, but unfortunately, his smile looked so bad it was like he was crying.
