Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 327

Stellar Cultural Center.

When Sean arrived at the Cultural Center with Rose in tow, they were met with people from Ares Enterprises just as they had predicted.

"Master Jean?” Sean stood still as he bowed slightly at Jean Ares.

Jean walked over and placed a hand on Sean's shoulder, his smile warm. "You're too late, Sean. I've already gotten the copyright of The Moonlit Sky's novel, so the contract's mine."

Sean glanced at Rose beside him

Getting the hint, Rose stepped forward and smiled." You haven't signed the contract with Stellar yet, Master Jean. Nothing has been set in stone."

Her tone dripped with provocation.

Master Jean's gaze fell immediately on Rose as he sighed in a tutting tone. "Where did you find yourself such a fine specimen, Sean? Quite the sharp tongue she has there."

Sean intentionally berated Rose, "Orchid, this is Ares Enterprises' second young master, so don’t be impolite."

Rose stepped back.

Jean scoffed. "What tacit understanding both of you share. Quite in tune with each other, aren't you now?"

Sean smiled.

Jean spoke again, "I'm curious too, Sean. I wonder if you've got enough academic knowledge to back up your courage?"

Rose answered instead, "Fret not, Master Jean. Mr. Bell has always been a brave character, so I'm sure he'll make you reevaluate your impression of him."

Jean’s gaze settled once again on Rose. "Nobody has ever been able to take what Ares Enterprises have set their eyes on!"

Before he left, Jean rose an arm to lightly caress the side of Sean’s attractive face and spoke in an ambiguously loving tone, "Sean, I admire your courage a lot."

Sean smiled awkwardly.

Immediately after Jean left, Rose backed a meter away from Sean.

Sean glared at her. "What are you doing?"

Rose smiled. "Master Jean admires you a lot."

Sean waved her off in a dejected tone. "I can give you a never-ending list of the men he admires.”

"Are you... Jealous?" Rose probed carefully.

Sean glared exasperatedly at her. "I’ll have you know

I'm as straight as they come. Do you need proof?"

Helplessly, Rose patted her forehead. "Why do we always end up talking about such tedious topics?"

Sean felt despaired as well. "Not my fault our first meeting started off on the wrong foot."NôvelDrama.Org content.

At that, memories of her first meeting with Sean resurfaced in Rose’s mind. He had been drugged and was running his mouth off in an undignified manner. Following then, he had always been a tad informal in front of her.

“We’re here." Sean reminded as he stood staring at the office with a Stellar Culture sticker outside its door.

Rose took a breath, preparing herself for the fierce battle awaiting her.

Upon hearing that they were here to buy the copyrights to The Moonlit Sky’s novel, the expression o f the person in charge of Stellar Culture revealed his internal turmoil. "I’m sorry, Mr. Sean, but we've already sold the copyrights to Master Jean."

Sitting comfortably, Sean's gaze fell on Rose.

Reading the name tag on the person in charge's chest, Rose smiled amorously. "We’ve met and greeted Master Jean outside just now, Mister Collins."

"Oh?" The person in charge was shocked.

Then, he came to an assumption. Jean had not stopped them from coming in, so he must be giving Bell Enterprises a chance on the basis that both their families were friends.

"We're willing to pay ten percent more than Master Jean. How's that?" Rose asked.

The person in charge was in a dilemma. "I..."

Rose did not give him time to think. "We can't go any higher. Since you know, we're going to have to pay Master Jean his compensation fee."

The person in charge relaxed into an expression of understanding.
