Chapter 327


    Ster 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 ced a hand on Sean''s shoulder, his smile warm. "You''re toote, Sean.


    I''ve already gotten the copyright of The Moonlit Sky''s novel, so the contract''s mine."


    Sean nced at Rose beside him


    Getting the hint, Rose stepped forward and smiled." You haven''t signed the contract with Ster 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.N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    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 red 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 red exasperatedly at her. "I’ll have you know


    I''m as straight as theye. 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."


    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 Ster 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 Ster Culture revealed his internal turmoil. "I’m sorry, Mr. Sean, but we''ve


    already sold the copyrights to Master Jean."


    Sittingfortably, 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 froming 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 hispensation fee."


    The person in charge rxed into an expression of understanding.
