Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)

He initially had planned to change his outfit but could not get his hands on the key to the fitting room.

Hence, he could only return without success.

Josephine said somewhat enthusiastically, "I'm sorry, Sean. It seems like your dancing partner was taken away by my brother. To express my apologies, I can be your temporary dancing partner... If you don't mind."

Sean gave it a thought and nodded. "Alright."

When Josephine and Sean walked toward the venue, they immediately collided with Jay and Rose.

Jay took his undeserved gain for granted when he said, "Sean Bell, red really does suit you."

Sean had no choice but to suffer in silence. There was a bitter taste in his mouth.

"Rose, don't forget your agreement to dance with me." Sean looked at Rose with a smile, his tone gentle.

Jay watched as the two openly 'flirted' right in front of him, and there was a glimpse of an evil sneer in his eyes. 'Don't dream about it!'

Sean picked up the red wine in his hand and raised a glass to Rose. "For you, Rose."

During the courtesy exchange, Rose went along with it and raised the wine glass in her hand as well. She then drained the contents in one gulp.

Josephine looked at the gloomy-faced Jay and smiled thoughtfully.

"Sean, let's head over there." Josephine dragged Sean away while teasing him. "You dare try to flirt with my sister-in-law in front of my brother? Do you think you're a cat with nine lives, Sean?"

Sean said in honesty, "Since your brother and Rose are divorced, that means there's no love between them. Your sister-in-law is a free woman, so why can't I pursue her?"

Josephine responded, "Perhaps you aren't aware of my brother's paranoid possessiveness. Ever since he was a child, everything he has used before is his personal belongings. No one else is allowed to touch them."

Sean retorted, "Rose is a person. She's not an object. It shouldn't and couldn't be compared."

Josephine replied, "Anyway, I've already reminded you. If you're not afraid of death, then go ahead and provoke my brother. I bet that with everything you've done today, my brother will probably get payback. By tomorrow, Bell Enterprise's stock will either hit a record low, or it'll trigger a circuit breaker. You need to be wise."

Sean did not believe her words and smiled. "I know your brother's a genius in the business world, but there's no need for you to demonize him to this extent, right?" Josephine said, "We'll see how it is tomorrow."

Rose returned from refilling her wine glass, and Jay was bewitchingly looking at her lips that were enchantingly stained with red wine. He squinted his eagle-like eyes. "You have pretty good tolerance!" he stated, merely paying lip service.

Rose thought it was a genuine compliment from him." It's so-so."

Jay replied, "I happen to be allergic to alcohol. You can help me drink my share for the night."

With that, he dragged Rose, who was still in a daze, toward the crowd.

"Those are my business partners. Go ahead and toast with them for me." Jay's current tone lacked emotions.

Rose could feel faintly that this guy seemed to be throwing a fit.

However, she said nothing offensive, so there was no reason for him to be angry.

Hence, she thought that he was sincerely asking her to lift a siege for him, which made her reply empathetically, "Sure."

Jay's gaze surveyed Rose's face, and he thought to himself, 'This silly girl's brain probably doesn't have any folds in them!' "Mr. Wilson, it has been a while." Jay greeted the first person he saw.

Everyone who greeted him back saw him as the most prominent heir of the Ares' family, hence they diligently gave him a toast.

"The young and promising Master Ares, how admirable!"
