006 Hunted Delight

The lady appeared to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with wild-looking wavy long hair. Her appearance was striking, her makeup making her face vibrant and distinct, as if she were a Western model. Her face was sharply defined, with white complexion, rosy cheeks and lips, deep black eyes, and purple eyeshadow. She wore a purple off-the-shoulder short-sleeved top paired with an Indonesian-style long skirt, giving her an elegant yet mysteriously wild appearance. She seemed like a lively and energetic woman!

The man accompanying her was handsome and well-built. Wearing a white shirt and dark casual pants, he also exuded an air of sophistication. However, his gaze towards her made her uncomfortable. It was too intense, too... well, in that brief moment, she felt as though he wanted to devour her. Even though the man's gaze returned to normal afterward, she subconsciously resisted him.

Alexander nodded toward the woman.

The woman sat down with the man she was accompanying, smiling at Alexander and saying, "Hey, what a coincidence to meet you here! Let me introduce you. This is Jack, the young master of Five Group."

She turned to Jack and continued, "Jack, this is Alexander, the big boss of Yatung Group, a legendary figure in the business world. We all call him Mr. Gwilliam!"

"Pleasure to meet you!" Jack extended his hand, and after a brief handshake with Alexander, who appeared rather aloof, Jack felt a bit awkward.

The woman then shifted her attention back to Annie and inquired with a cheerful smile, "Mr. Gwilliam, who is this beautiful young lady?"

"Someone's friend's daughter," Alexander replied flatly, seeming unwilling to elaborate further.

The woman's bright eyes rolled for a moment, a hint of understanding flickering through them. She immediately smiled again and lost interest in Annie's identity, engaging Alexander in conversation.

Thereafter, it was mainly Mary, the woman named Mary, who conversed and laughed with Alexander. Their topics were quite distant from Annie, either about business matters or things within their circle that Annie couldn't participate in. She could only sit there silently nibbling on the Xiaolongbao.

Jack began feeling a bit awkward at this point. In NEW LONDON, he might not always be the center of attention, but being completely ignored like this was a first. He attempted to interject between Mary and Alexander a few times, but Alexander's cold attitude towards him made Jack reluctant to try further. Instead, he started focusing on Annie, the stunning girl he found enchanting at first sight!

Honestly, Jack had spent a fair amount of time in the social scene, but he had never encountered anyone like Annie before. Her classical beauty and pure, captivating aura were unparalleled. Her dark, deep eyes, adorned with a hint of mist, almost seemed to speak.

So, he leaned in slightly, thinking he looked quite charming, and greeted her, "Hello!"

Annie felt a bit embarrassed, retracting the hand about to take a Xiaolongbao, but she courteously replied, "Hello!"

Jack's heart warmed at Annie's response. Especially when she smiled so gently out of politeness, her soft smile was truly endearing! What a grand indulgence for Alexander, to have such a captivating beauty at his disposal!

"I'm Jack, I don't think I've seen you before. Which family do you belong to?" Jack was a bit embarrassed. Given her current, unsightly status, how could she answer Jack's question?

Seeing her silence, Jack thought she might be shy, so he tried to engage her with a few jokes. Initially, Annie laughed along politely. However, as Jack's jokes took a more suggestive turn, making Annie increasingly uncomfortable, she began feeling uneasy and distressed. She turned to Alexander for help, biting her lip in desperation.

Alexander, seemingly engrossed in his conversation with Mary, suddenly glanced at her and abruptly ended his discussion, asking Annie, "Full?"

Annie nodded eagerly, wishing he'd pardon her immediately. Instead, he leisurely took out a wet tissue and wiped her mouth meticulously, then her hands, as though he was handling precious jade.

Annie's face uncontrollably reddened. In the presence of two onlookers, she felt this level of intimacy was too much.

Jack, on the other hand, couldn't take his eyes off her flushed face. Her blushing visage was more alluring than her previous pale, fragrant appearance. When Annie and Alexander stood up to leave, Jack found it hard to divert his gaze.

"Hehe..."

Mocking him, Mary nudged Jack, causing him to jolt back to reality. Confronted with Mary's mischievous gaze, Jack felt somewhat embarrassed but couldn't conceal his longing curiosity. "Who was that girl just now?"

Mary rolled her eyes, disdainfully humming, "Men!" All of them were driven by lust!

"If you desire her, then wait patiently. Once Mr. Gwilliam is done playing, it'll be your turn!"

Jack was taken aback. From Mary's tone, it seemed that the girl was...

Mary nodded in confirmation.

This instantly excited Jack. His dignified façade instantly crumbled, revealing his inner desire. "I thought she was from some affluent family, but turns out she's just a little harlot!"

Mary shoved him lightly, scolding, "Come on, have some decency. She's just a young girl!"

"Hehe, outwardly a young girl, but internally already a woman. With someone like her, Mr. Gwilliam will surely have his way with her to his heart's content..."

"Don't you dare!" Mary's tone turned serious, her playful demeanor vanished. "Don't say such things anymore. Mr. Gwilliam's antics are not to be joked about!"

"Why not?!" Jack, feeling displeased, unleashed his frustration with Alexander. "Just now, I respected you by calling him Mr. Gwilliam. But where does he even stand in NEW LONDON?!"

Mary's expression turned grave. "That's because you have no idea about Alexander's background. If you knew more about him, you wouldn't and couldn't have spoken those words just now! What does your NEW LONDON amount to? Compared to NEW PARIS, it's far behind. In NEW PARIS, Alexander is a person who can command the winds and rain. No one can touch him. That 'Mr. Gwilliam' of his isn't something anyone can address him with. You can only call him that under my influence. Didn't you see how he barely paid attention to you just now?! Hmph, I'm afraid from now on, you'll be just like ordinary people, addressing him as 'Mr. Gwilliam'!"

Jack's expression shifted. He did know the identity of his companion today, the eldest daughter of the mighty Fa Group, making her quite a prominent figure. With Mary speaking so emphatically, it was evident she wasn't exaggerating!

Just who exactly was this Alexander?!

Jack was getting curious!
