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 mes. I’m


    burning up all over right now." Sean quickened his strides as he speed-walked to his office.


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


    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 mes 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 mmed 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 hourter, 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


    net to be the kind whosts long?"


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


    Sean pped his palm on his forehead. He was normal, yet why did he feel the humiliating burn as


    if he was inadequate in theher regions?


    Turning back to see Rose doubling over inughter, 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?"


    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 be 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 screeny of The Moonlit Sky’s, a


    young adult tinum novelist, movie adaptation. In hopes to improve Bell Enterprise''s depressing


    film industry, we''ve spent arge sum to buy its IP. However, both Ares and Severe Enterprises are


    interested in this production as well. What we need now is a n to buy its copyright at the


    cheapest possible price and take it from both Ares and Severe Enterprises'' hands."


    Flipping through the screeny, Rose asked confusedly, "Severe Enterprises are financially


    unstable and close to dering 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 n to use this opportunity as a


    chance t o start over."


    Holding the screeny 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 screeny 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


    popr 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 dly 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."Original from N?velDrama.Org.
