Chapter 45
Elena raised her head and ran into Holden’s narrow eyes.
Holden was sitting at the main seat of the card table, wearing a sophisticated black shirt and black trousers. He was smoking, with scarlet flames between his slender fingers, swallowing clouds and fog coming out of the cigarette.
When James shouted, Holden had just smoked a cigarette, and then he looked up at Elena, the smoke haunting his handsome face, but vaguely saw his heroic eyebrows frowned, and a few seconds later, he opened his mouth. A puff of smoke slowly came out.
It was embarrassing for Elena to be forced in, but now she ran into Holden, even more embarrassed.
“Mr. James, where did this little beauty come from? Isn’t your most beautiful girl in 1949 not here yet, Mr. James, you are too interesting, you are hiding it.” The boss laughed.
It was obvious that these men regarded Elena as the girl to accompany the wine here, and James looked at the expression of Holden on the opposite side.
Holden had already retracted his gaze and threw a card in his hand, his expression was deep and indifferent.
What does it mean?
In argument?
The cold war?
Pretending not to know each other?
James smiled quietly. It’s great, he can listen to gossip again, and he doesn’t think it is too much to watch the show, so he directly greets Elena, “You, come over and pour us some wine, there no rules at all? Understand?”
A greasy boss reached out and grabbed Elena’s slender arms, “Little beauty, what are you doing with a veil on your face? Seeing your body is so good, your face must not be bad either. Take off the veil and let the men take a good look.”
The greasy boss went directly to lift the veil on Elena’s face.
Elena swiftly avoided the salty pig’s hand and twisted her eyebrows slightly, “I think you are making a mistake. I am not the lady who accompanies the wine here, let me go!”
“Little beauty, do you know who these people are? Whether you the lady who serves the wine or not. It doesn’t matter, what matters is what we want.”
Elena remembered what the manager had told her, saying that this place was filled with all the big figures of Darenvil, and she couldn’t afford to offend them.
Elena didn’t want to get into these troubles, but her luck was so bad today that she was pushed into this game.
“Or let’s make a bet on whether this little beauty looks ugly or looks like a fairy after taking off her veil.”
“Okay, it’s funny, I bet on her ugly appearance. If she looks like a fairy, she would have taken off her veil long ago. Know that beauty is a woman’s greatest weapon.”
“I bet it looks like a fairy because the figure of this little beauty is really… so good that I can’t help but wonder.”
In this kind of situation, men’s conversations are always unscrupulous, and Elena is trapped in it and has become a topic among men.
Today Elena wore a small fragrant skirt. The fringed skirt was placed below her knees. Obediently, she had a slender skeleton, not the exaggerated S-curve, but the gracefulness of the girl just in her early womanhood years, which contained some taboos–the fine, fine figure.
Even if she didn’t reveal anything, the coolly dressed beauties in this luxurious box had long been suppressed by her.
Elena glanced at Holden, who was in the lead. The man closed his eyelids and smoked, accompanied by a beautiful woman, and did not look at her again.
Now he is aloof and ruthless.
Even if she is in a deep predicament, he will not help.
He treated her as a stranger.
Although this is what she hopes to draw a clear line between each other, Elena still feels pain in her heart.
At this time, the greasy boss who was dragging her came to take off her veil again, “Little beauty, the bet is ready, let us see your true face.”
“Wait a minute,” Elena spoke quickly.
The greasy boss paused, “Little beauty, what do you want to say?”
