Chapter 277: The Art of Seduction

Lord Alaric's strategy has reached a level of sophistication akin to a masterful performance. He employs both overt and subtle tactics, perfecting the blend of the two.

In a very public display, he boldly covers the bar tab for the women, yet he does not extend invitations for them to join him at the table.

The nuance of the word “bartender” further elevates his status, as it implies a level of exclusivity usually reserved for upscale hotels or elite bars, rather than the usual latter-day norms of simply calling them "servers."

Under the gaze of envious onlookers, Lord Alaric returns casually to his seat.

He lights a cigarette, drapes his leg over the other, and leans back on the sofa, indulging in a leisurely smoke.

Watching his nonchalance, I couldn't help but chuckle in disbelief and whispered to him:

“Lord Alaric, have you forgotten why we're here? Your target is Griselda, not these other women. Why are you ignoring her completely?”
