Chapter 286: Chapter 285 Chapter 286: Chapter 285 Mary Davis stared at the slender hand in a moment of distraction.
Then she saw the door being pushed open.
Uncle Davis couldn’t help but turn his head to look, only to see a man standing outside.
Upon seeing him, several people in the room were startled.
Because they all recognized this man, he was Ellis Olsen, Young Master Olsen’s assistant. He stood there, his gaze sweeping over those present, finally resting on Mary Davis: “Young Master Olsen is dining in the next room and asked me to come say hello, Miss Davis, are you all right p>
Uncle Davis was immediately taken aback.
Then he looked sensitively towards Mary Davis.
He had originally thought that Mary Davis had not caught Young Master Olsen’s eye, which was why he had brought her here to accompany Fat Dawson, but now Young Master Olsen had suddenly come in to greet her…
Was Young Master Olsen interested in Mary Davis?
Mary Davis herself hadn’t expected Ellis Olsen’s assistant to specifically ask after her health, but she immediately understood that this was her chance to borrow influence.
She seized the opportunity without hesitation, smiling: “I’m fine, there’s no need for Young Master Olsen to worry. I was just discussing a partnership with Uncle Dawson and Uncle Davis. Right, Uncle Dawson p>
Boss Dawson was also stunned at the moment.
Ever since the main branch of the Davis Family had taken control of the company, they had been excluding the second branch.
That’s why he dared to show disrespect to the second branch, as a kind of statement towards the main branch.
He couldn’t afford to offend any of the five major families of Clance!
Now that Young Master Olsen had spoken, he didn’t dare to say anything. He immediately said with a smile: “Yes, yes, I’m here discussing a partnership with my great-niece! Great-niece, did you bring the contract p>
Mary Davis looked towards her Uncle Davis.
Uncle Davis immediately spoke: “I did, I did p>
He took the contract out of his pocket straight away.
Boss Dawson didn’t say a second word; he signed the contract immediately and then looked at Mary Davis with a beaming smile: “Great-niece, your uncle and I are as close as brothers. Being his niece means you’re my niece too! I just remembered that I have something urgent to attend to, so I’ll be taking my leave first, okay p>
Leaving behind these words, Boss Dawson rushed away.
Uncle Davis also wiped the nonexistent cold sweat from his forehead and tentatively looked at Mary Davis, asking: “Great-niece, you and Young Master Olsen p>
Mary Davis cast her eyes down: “Uncle, we’re just friends, don’t misunderstand. Now that the contract is signed, I’ll be leaving first p>
As she reached the door, she suddenly turned back.
Uncle Davis paused, suddenly understanding: “Great-niece, don’t worry, I’ll make sure the contract issue with your friend’s company is dropped p>
Today, Mary Davis had borrowed Ellis Olsen’s influence to bluster through, fearing he would delay Keera’s big issue, so when she heard this, she immediately said: “No need to drop the lawsuit p>
Uncle Davis was puzzled: “No need for the lawsuit? Aren’t you and your bestie the closest of friends? You p>
Mary Davis had to improvise an excuse on the spot: “Yes, she’s my best buddy. But she chose to block me because of a man. What do you think I’m getting close to her for now? It’s obviously to get revenge. I want to see her cry her eyes out and regret everything after her husband leaves her. Uncle, please stay out of this p>
Uncle Davis didn’t quite understand the friendships between young girls, but seeing Mary Davis speak with such gritted teeth, he could only nod: “Oh, okay, rest assured, I won’t intervene in this matter p>
With that, Mary Davis opened the door and walked out.
When the door of the private room closed again, she took a deep breath. Her head was still dizzy, and she felt light all over, but she struggled to maintain her sobriety–at least she couldn’t pass out here.
She turned her head, intending to leave, but as she turned around, she suddenly froze in place.
Ellis Olsen, who should have left, simply stood quietly beside her, frowning at her–it was obvious he had heard everything from the room just now.
Ellis had just walked past this place, seen Mary Davis, and noticed her anxious and unusual expression.
Therefore, he blocked the door of the private room that was about to close, but he found his action somewhat inexplicable, so he had his assistant go in and give Mary Davis a hand!
But he never imagined that Mary Davis would actually take advantage of his intervention!
If it were just to sign a contract, that would be one thing.
After all, such occurrences are common in the business world, and he didn’t mind being exploited this once since Mary Davis was beautiful…
But the issue was that Mary Davis, after leveraging his standing, went on to use it against her cousin Keera!
It was… It reduced Ellis’s favorable impression of her to rock bottom!
He had originally thought that the mischief with Mary Davis and Keera was just foolish, but now he saw this woman as not only foolish but also ruthless! How could she do this to her friend and her bestie p>
Ellis had always been a man of honor, always carrying a bit of an old-school loyalty, and what he despised most were those who used underhanded strategies and backstabbed their friends.
His gaze turned icy cold, and the smile at the corner of his lips took on a mocking tilt as he suddenly grabbed Mary Davis, pulling her into his embrace.
Mary Davis stumbled against his chest, the collision making her feel even more dazed.
The drug was slowly starting to take effect. She tried hard to shake her head to maintain her composure, “You p>
Before she could finish speaking, Ellis leaned down and whispered in her ear, “What are you going to give me in exchange for just now p>
The warmth of his breath caressed Mary Davis’s ear.
It sent a shiver through her entire body, making her reaction even more pronounced.
She leaned her whole body against Ellis, her eyes gradually becoming glazed, and her hands suddenly wrapped around his neck…
Ellis’s body stiffened.
He had only intended to intimidate her a bit, but what was this woman doing? She had actually clung to him?
He tried to push her away when he heard Mary Davis murmuring softly, “Ellis Olsen, I like you so much p>
Ellis was taken aback and then sneered, “How many people have you told that to p>
Mary Davis smiled at him and held up a single finger.
But her vision swirled before her.
Mary Davis intended to hold up one finger, but before her eyes, there always seemed to be several. She said in bewilderment, “So many p>
Ellis’s expression chilled instantly, “Mary Davis, I didn’t expect someone who looks as innocent as you to be so wild in private p>
Mary Davis could no longer make out his words, only pressing herself closer to him, “Ellis Olsen, I’m so hot p>
She started to undo the twist of her hair, revealing a delicate collarbone.
Ellis couldn’t help but take short, sharp breaths.
He had never been a saint, already somewhat interested in her face, her figure, and now she presented herself…
Besides, Mary Davis wasn’t any lady of virtue, so he might as well play along!
Ellis bent down, scooped up Mary Davis horizontally, and carried her into the adjoining private room!
He placed Mary Davis on the couch and bent over her. When he touched her scorching skin, Ellis finally realized something was off…
