Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 326

Rose Loyle stared bitterly at him. "Weren't you the one who told me to dress more sexily?”

"I did, but what I meant was just slightly sexier. What you're wearing right now is too much. Your V- neck is low, and you're showing too much of your back. I'll be i n the office extinguishing flames. I’m burning up all over right now." Sean quickened his strides as he speed-walked to his office.

"Extinguish flames?" Rose could not help but chuckle." How do you plan to extinguish the flames?"

Not slowing down, Sean dispiritedly fired back at Rose. "With my hand, of course. It's not like I can ask you to help me extinguish the flames now, can I? Someone will make sure I have nightmares every night should I even look at you with the slightest malicious intent."

"Who?"

Barging into his office in a huff, Sean slammed the doors with a bang behind him, leaving Rose outside. A t the door, Rose spoke, "Be quick, then. What's up with you? You can't even hold yourself together at all!"

Half an hour later, Sean opened his doors.

Lifting her wrist to check the time, Rose smiled. "That was fast."

Sean's expression darkened. "How much erotica have you read? You expect every man on the planet to be the kind who lasts long?"

Rose smiled mirthfully. "Don't worry, Mr. Bell. Your secret’s safe with me."

Sean slapped his palm on his forehead. He was normal, yet why did he feel the humiliating burn as if he was inadequate in the nether regions?

Turning back to see Rose doubling over in laughter, Sean spoke embarrassedly, "Oh, I get it. You’re comparing me with him, aren't you? Tell me the truth, how long does he take?"

Rose flushed immediately while grumbling under her breath, "Just who are you referring to?" Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Sean’s interest was piqued as he sat uninhibitedly in front of Rose. "Jay Ares! Don’t tell me you've never done it with him when you gave birth to his children. Tell me, how long does it take for him?"

Rose's hands came up to cover her face, eyes peeking out from the gaps between her fingers. "Longer than you."

"He must've taken drugs then," Sean said indignantly.

"You must’ve taken drugs." Rose instinctively fired back at him.

Sean stared at how Rose stood up for Jay. "Just how much do you love him? I can't even say a bad thing about him without you firing back at me."

Rose sighed. Standing up for Jay had become a wellingrained habit at that point.

"It won’t happen again."

Sean stated, "Alright, alright. Let’s get to work."

At the mention of work, the duo stopped joking around and began to get serious.

Sean handed a pile of office folders to Rose. "This here is the screenplay of The Moonlit Sky’s, a young adult platinum novelist, movie adaptation. In hopes to improve Bell Enterprise's depressing film industry, we've spent a large sum to buy its IP. However, both Ares and Severe Enterprises are interested in this production as well. What we need now is a plan to buy its copyright at the cheapest possible price and take it from both Ares and Severe Enterprises' hands."

Flipping through the screenplay, Rose asked confusedly, "Severe Enterprises are financially unstable and close to declaring bankruptcy. Where are they getting the funds to buy such a trending IP movie?"

Sean spoke, "They may be financially unstable, but their experience itself pulls them apart from many other enterprises. Plus, I'm pretty sure Severe Enterprises plan to use this opportunity as a chance t o start over."

Holding the screenplay in her arms, Rose excused herself to her little cubical. "I'll read through it first before I tell you, Mr. Bell."

After five whole days of burning the midnight oil, Rose finally finished reading the screenplay of this time-traveling ancient fantasy movie adaptation.

Sean was displeased. "Orchid, I let you stay by my side to work, not to read novels."

Rose smiled. "The book's good, Mr. President, and the genre just so happens to be the currently popular boy's love. The plot has its ups and downs while giving off a sense of positive energy. It's worth the extra thought we'll need to rival Ares Enterprises."

Sean mulled over the idea. "We shall meet up with Ares Enterprises this afternoon then, since you have the guts to fight them head-on."

"Alright.” Rose gladly agreed.

Then, Sean had an epiphany and reminded her. "You'll need to be mentally prepared. Being rivals with Ares Enterprises means there's no escaping him." Rose flinched slightly. "I know."
