Female Novel
Chapter 1157
"I'm not afraid. The worst-case scenario is that my company gets bought out by the Sanders family.
They've been managing their own entertainment company quite well these years, and Mr. Sanders is a
man of vision. He wouldn't make things difficult for my artists."
That was the worst-case scenario.
She looked at the drink in her hand, taking another sip. "Even if the Sanders family has any ill
intentions towards me, I've got nothing to fear. In the end, it's just one life at stake."
Ian poured her another glass, cautioning her kindly, "The alcohol content isn't high, but don't overdo it."
"What brand of wine is this? It's quite pleasant and suits my taste."
"If you'd like, I can have Jeff deliver some to your place at Rosewood Manor."
"Mmm, sounds good."
She lazily reached over, picking at the fruit platter next to her, popping a few pieces into her mouth.
The combination of this particular fruit and wine had a catalytic effect that got one drunk quickly.
Ian held his patience, counting. This was her fifth glass.
Maja felt her cheeks getting warmer. She frowned, lightly propping her body up in an attempt to
alleviate the heat.
At this moment, Ian reached out, gently massaging her shoulders.
Hot springs, fine wine, delicious food, and beautiful company; anyone would be intoxicated.
Maja felt somewhat dizzy, she had admitted countless times that Ian's face was the most stunning she
had ever seen.
In the dimly lit environment, the allure was even more potent, especially with his bare upper body. The
cool fingertips on her shoulder were a stark contrast to her rising body temperature.
Her gaze fell on his lips, they were thin.
Confirming that she was a bit tipsy, Ian asked while continuing to massage her, "What do you think of
my brother?"
Maja was in a daze, at times feeling dizzy, at other times feeling relaxed from his massage, her
alertness completely diminished.
"Your brother? Eric? I've heard of him from Grandpa Holden and my master. He seems quite
outstanding."
Her words were not completely familiar.
Ian's lips curved into a smile. He slowly leaned in, "Is that so? Then why is your phone's passcode his
birthday?"
Even though Maja was drunk, she felt that this accusation was a bit too much.
"My passcode has always been the same. I'm just too lazy to change it."
She turned around, her upper body lazily resting on the edge of the pool, completely relaxed.
"Maja, you're not into Patric anymore, right?"
As he asked this, his fingertips paused, his tone a bit heavier.
Maja tried to look up but found her eyelids too heavy, "He's a bit off. He might have some mental
issues."
Ian's mood lightened significantly. He picked up a piece of fruit and offered it to her, "Would you like
more?"
The fruit touched her lips, she turned her head, "I don't want any more."
"Should I continue with the massage?"
"That would be nice."
Ian slipped into the water, starting to massage her from the waist up.
Maja felt something was off, but her dizziness prevented her from figuring out what it was.
His fingertips were electrifying, pressing down on just the right spots.
And this made her feel increasingly warm.
She yearned for something cool.
She turned around, attempting to sit on the edge of the pool. It was too hot and she couldn't continue
soaking.
As she propped herself up and sat on the edge of the pool, she found herself facing Ian.novelbin
Upon seeing him, her breath hitched. Ian's physique was impressive. He had chiseled abs, perfect V-
line, and powerful muscles, with droplets of water trickling down his body.
She stared for a moment, then suddenly grabbed his hand, pulling him closer and leaned in to kiss him.
Ian, being the gentleman he was, pushed her away, "This isn't right."
"What's not right about it?"
"You'll blame me when you sober up."
"I won't. I initiated it."
She was referring to the kiss.
But as soon as the words left her lips, she was pushed down onto the edge of the pool.
The kiss was urgent, heavy, hot, as if they'd been waiting for this moment for a long time.
