Chapter 8 Haydn Interferes

Ray was about to say something when Elior stealthily interrupted him. The latter’s long narrow eyes sparkled with a cunning light as he said, “Oh, her? She made Master Stewart angry, There, see that? That bottle of vodka.” Elior casually pointed at the bottle on the table. “Master Stewart gave her two choices: either drink that whole bottle or make out with that guy in front of everyone as entertainment.” “Oh~” Haydn drew out his “oh” and walked slowly to Jane as he cast a lazy eye across Sean, who was still sitting on his couch. Haydn rubbed his chin haughty, saying, “You sure have a nice sense of humor, Master Stewart. Since you wanna see a steamy make-out session, shall I volunteer as the male lead? I don’t mean to brag, but I’m quite the kisser. The best around, I’d say.” With that, he moved quickly, reaching out his long arm and pulling the still-dazed Jane into his embrace. Jane had no time to react at all, falling right into his arms. The next second, there was a warmth on her lips, and her eyes widened abruptly. Was she… being kissed? Whoosh! Her face instantly boiled up, turning red from the roots of her ears to the tips of her toes. Haydn was surprised at the sensation of that small mouth under his thin lips… It felt really good! He had not intended to go too deep. His mischievous streak meant that he only wanted to peck her on the mouth, but he was surprisingly enamored by the feeling on his lips. When he was about to reach in deeper, a powerful force yanked the woman away from his arms. Haydn did not get the sweetness he was looking for, so he looked at the man who took Jane away crossly. “Sean, give her back.” Sean’s expression was dark and his gaze sharp. “She angered me, so no one can take her away before I vent this anger.” Haydn raised his brow at Sean. The two of them were friends and rivals at the same time, and they had been that way since they were kids. Although Haydn had later followed his parents overseas while Sean stayed here, their relationship had never once changed. Still, to think Sean cared so much about this woman… Haydn’s curiosity was killing him, so he looked at the woman behind Sean’s back. He was surprised to see how red she had become. All of a sudden, he remembered how she had never been hugged by a man before until their previous encounter. Could it be that even her kissing was… “Hey, was that your first kiss?” Whoosh! Jane’s face turned redder than a baboon’s butt, and it looked like her ears were ready to drip blood. She did not have to say anything; her bright red face was an answer enough. Even Haydn himself did not realize just how wonderful he was feeling right now. His lips curved, and he looked at Sean with a half-smile. “What if I insist on taking her away?” Ray’s chaotic cheers erupted around them, the whistling going on and on. “Elior, take your phone, quick! Film this down! Master Soros is actually challenging Sean Stewart over a girl! If we sell this to a magazine, we’ll get an astronomical payday! I guarantee this will make all the headlines tomorrow!” Elior poured himself a glass of whiskey and raised his brow at the evidently excited Ray. “I guarantee that if you try that, the headlines tomorrow will be about an unidentified naked corpse floating in Huangpu River.” “Urk…” Sean had naturally seen Jane’s beet-red face as well, and all of a sudden, he found her shy expression extremely annoying. His sharp gaze landed on his lips coldly, and he narrowed his eyes, considering something. His bold stare made Jane turn away, feeling tortured. She wanted to avoid that mysterious look he was giving her. However, that only angered Sean for some reason. His grip on her wrist was like a vice, then he bent down and picked her up, throwing her over his shoulder like a sack. As Haydn, Ray, and Elior stared, slack-jawed, he strode out of the door. Haydn was the first to react, his humiliation turning to rage. “Stop!” He gave chase without another word. Ray’s jaw was still hanging open. He had not registered what had happened yet. Elior stood up from the couch abruptly. “This just keeps getting better.” He followed them without giving Ray another look. Finally, Ray recovered and jumped to his feet. “Wait for me! Fun shows should be watched together! The more the merrier, right?” Susie had gone completely pale. It felt like her feet were glued to the floor, and she could not move. All she knew was… It was all over. She had really done Jane in now. She was racked with guilt, but she did not know what to do. If she told Alora, it would be all over for her. If Alora knew that she had been rude and caused such a big mess, she would definitely lose her job here as an attendant. On one hand, she felt guilty. On the other hand, she was worried that she would get in trouble too if Alora found out. Susie was extremely torn and conflicted. Finally… “It’ll be fine. It should be fine. Jane is just a cleaner, and Master Stewart was just a little angry. There’s no way he would torture a cleaner over it. Yeah, that’s right. It’ll be fine,” Susie muttered to herself, trying to bluff herself so that she would feel a little guilty. Haydn quickly gave chase. Sean walked ahead of him, but then he suddenly turned, his long leg drawing a sharp angle in the air as he swung a beautiful kick at Haydn, forcing the latter back. After that, he quickly walked into the elevator right next to him. Haydn wanted to give chase, but then the elevator doors shut tightly right before his eyes! It was so close! Haydn was so furious that he smashed his fist into the elevator doors. Ray and Elior were the perfect partners in crime, so they arrived at the scene, one before the other. Ray reveled in chaos, so he instigated Haydn by saying, “Whoa, seriously? The elevator’s on the 28th floor now!!! Hey, Elior, look! What do you think Sean’s up to? Taking a cleaner lady to the 28th floor?” The six bottom floors of this building were the entertainment center, more commonly known as a nightclub. However, East Emperor’s clientele consisted of the rich and powerful, and these people were always classy and elegant in what they did. Everything above the sixth floor was none other than a hotel. As for why the place was designed like this… It really went without saying. Anyone with at least some brain understood why. Elior’s long narrow eyes sparkled craftily, and he gave Ray a cold smile. “Hey, a cleaner is still a woman. There’s no need to freak out about it.” That only made things worse. Ray could not help but wonder out loud, “Seriously, what’s up with Sean’s taste? That’s nuts.” Taking a cleaner to a hotel room? Ray clicked his tongue. When he remembered that cleaner lady’s figure and looks, he could not help a shudder. “Sh*t!” Haydn slammed his fist into the elevator doors again when he heard that, then he began to smash the up button. “Hey, Haydn, are you really gonna go after them? You just came back from overseas, so you don’t know, but the entire 28th floor here belongs to Sean. You can’t enter that floor without an access card.” Haydn’s expression turned livid. … The elevator rose rapidly, and then the doors opened with a ding. Sean quickly walked out of the elevator with Jane thrown over his shoulder, walking around the living room with an air of familiarity before striding into the bedroom. Bam! Jane felt her vision blurring for a second, and then she was mercilessly dumped onto the Persian rug. “Mgh~” Before she could react, she felt a sharp pain on her chin, and she was forced to open her eyes. Sean’s lethally handsome face was right before her eyes. “Jane Dunn,” said the man slowly in his cold voice. Jane’s body could not help a shudder, but he continued, “Jane Dunn, you’ve really surprised me today.”
