Clarence Cooper continued to call Elijah Smith "brother" and chat with him while drinking.
Ella Adams sat quietly by his side, her gaze shallow and her eyelashes lowered, looking somewhat indifferent.
After a while, Clarence noticed that Elijah Smith had been staring at Ella Adams all the time, so he raised his hand and put it on Ella's shoulder, across the table full of delicious dishes that had already cooled down. Half-jokingly, he said to Elijah Smith, "CEO Smith, don't you think Ella is especially beautiful?"
Elijah Smith stared intently at Ella Adams without taking a look at Clarence or saying anything. A coldness began to rise at the bottom of his eyes, feeling that Clarence's fingers on Ella's exposed skin were particularly irritating.
Remaining undisturbed, Ella turned her head and gave Clarence a slight smile, saying, "It's getting late, there's a meeting at the hotel tonight, so I'll head back first."
As she spoke, she stood up and dodged Clarence's hand.
