Chapter 22 Better Flirting Skills
Elianna responded casually, "I overheard someone mention you when you arrived with Alicia
earlier."
Brett examined Elianna, furrowing his brows at herposed expression, then smiled and said, "I
apologize for mistaking you for someone else just now."
Elianna returned the smile and replied, "No problem, but now I have to leave to..."
"Ms. Gentry, you''re from Oakpool, right?" Before Elianna could finish speaking, Brett interrupted her.
"I''m from Elfold, and this is my first visit to Oakpool. Could you rmend some interesting
ces?"

"Sure." Elianna remained calm on the surface, but unease gnawed at her.
She knew Brett was growing more suspicious of her with every passing second, and being in his
presence meant danger.
However, she couldn''t refuse his request. Refusing would only make her seem guilty.
As she made rmendations, Brett kept asking probing questions that felt more like an
interrogation than casual curiosity.
Just as she found herself entangled in his inquiries, a hurried waiter rushed over and approached
her.
He bowed to them and informed her, "Ms. Gentry, Ms. N is calling you to the upstairs lounge.
She has something urgent to discuss."
Elianna secretly sighed in relief and apologized to Brett, "I''m sorry, but my sister is calling for me. I
must leave now."
"No problem, Ms. Gentry. You''re busy, go ahead," Brett replied.
...
As Elianna walked away, the feeling of being observed finally dissipated.
She took a deep breath and btedly broke out in a cold sweat.
Once she had calmed down, she asked the waiter, "Did N mention why she wanted to see me?"
"No, Ms. N only said that you shoulde immediately," the waiter replied.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the door of the lounge.
The waiter led Elianna there and left, leaving her pacing outside the door alone.
She wondered why N would call for her when she was supposed to be with Jefferson.
Would there be something inappropriate if she went in?
After struggling for a while, Elianna lightly knocked on the door twice.
"N, is it you who''s looking for me?" she asked, but there was no response.
Elianna tried to push the door, which wasn''t locked.
Inside the room, N sat on the floor, wiping away tears.
Her previously smooth and elegant cheongsam was torn at the hem, revealing a striking expanse of
skin.
Looking up with teary eyes, she said, "Anna."
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Elianna felt a sense of unease.
Could it be that N had angered Jefferson by rejecting him?
She furrowed her brows and helped N up from the ground.
"N, if you''re not feeling well, let''s go back first."
N looked apprehensively at Jefferson sitting on the sofa and then nodded slightly.
"Hold on!"
Jefferson smiled wryly, "Did I tell you to leave?"
N visibly trembled and stammered, "I-I..."
Ignoring Jefferson, Elianna opened the door and said, "N, you go out first. I''ll have a few words
with Jefferson."
N was a bit worried but thought that since Elianna was at least his brother''s girlfriend, he mustn''t
bother her, so she walked out.
Seeing that Jefferson didn''t stop her, N felt relieved and quickly left.
The door closed again, leaving only Elianna and Jefferson in the lounge.
Elianna turned around, "Jefferson, N didn''t mean to offend you. She''s just a bit reserved and may
not be ready for something so intense right from the beginning..."
Suddenly, she stumbled over her words, realizing that she was indirectly implying her own
promiscuity.
Unexpectedly, Jefferson burst intoughter.
"You really think highly of yourself. Your sister had better flirting skills than you!"
"You just dared to embrace me, while she is willing to kneel and crawl on the ground... It seems you
won''t be able topete with her!"
