This box was large and clean, much more normal than the one she had stayed in before, without those messy and ambiguous lights, and was very comfortable.
Felix, of course, sat alone in the upper seat. The rest of the people were lined up on the sofas on either side. Adeline wanted to sit beside her, but there were no seats on either side. Even if there were any, they would be rather crowded. It would be difficult for her as a woman to squeeze among the men.
"Miss Adeline, please sit next to Mr. Felix."
"No, I'll ask the waiter to bring a small stool over!"
"Come and sit down!" The tone was almost imperative, and Adeline, looking at his ashen face, dared not disobey, but knew in her heart that he was angry.
She was sitting a little further away, and Felix reached out directly, put his arms around her slender waist and pulled her into his arms: "Does Miss Adeline think I'm scary?"
Even though his gesture was so ambiguous just now, when his hand was pulled back, he was the same cold and noble man, and wouldn't make anyone think too much.
Adeline smiled: "How could it be? I was just afraid of offending Mr. Felix."
The girl had a soft voice and a beautiful appearance. Sitting beside such a handsome man as Felix, her radiance was not dimmed at all; instead, it complemented each other.
"Miss Adeline and Mr. Felix are a perfect match. They are a perfect boy and a girl." The thin director immediately praised.
Seeing that Felix showed no aversion to such praise, everyone immediately started to praise him in a flowered manner, saying that they were as if they were the only couple in the world.
It was through these compliments that Mr. Qian realized the ambiguous relationship between the two, and thought of the noble black card, could it be that the man behind Adeline was Mr. Felix?
No way! If it were really Mr. Felix, she would still need to come out and attract investment!
He was so nervous that he forgot to say what he wanted to please.
"All right, don't make a fuss one by one. Miss Adeline is a thin skin, lest she go back and say I, Andreas, bullied her!"
As he spoke, his long fingers gave a light swipe on her left cheek. Adeline's body trembled, and her originally pale red cheek suddenly turned red. She looked up at him in a somewhat panicked manner, and her big eyes had a clear distinction between black and white, and were alluring for no reason.
Everyone thought she was truly shy and laughed, while the man who had caused all this bad was still sitting as if nothing had happened, his fingers as if water had left no trace, disregarding the ripples in others' hearts.
Then they began to talk about business, and Adeline was not in the mood to listen. Her nerves were on edge all the time, hoping that this inexplicable gathering would end soon.
"It is our honor that our emperor has caught Mr. Felix's eye. I will surely have a good talk with our president when I get back. Mr. Felix can rest assured."
"Well, Mr. Miao has always been reliable."
Director Miao was so happy to be praised by him that he couldn't help showing off and looked at Adeline: "I heard that Canhua is among the three entertainment companies that Andreas has acquired this time. I wonder what Mr. Capet is thinking?"
Adeline was suddenly named and stunned for a moment: "I'm afraid Director Miao has misheard. Andreas is not going to acquire Canhua!"
Director Miao looked at Felix in puzzlement, and when he saw his face as white as snow, he smiled and said, "Oh, maybe I misheard. It's quite a pity, after all, being favored by Mr. Felix represents a kind of ability of the company itself."
It's true that being favored by Mr. Felix indicates that the company itself has potential, and the benefits Mr. Felix offers are not matched by any other company, so it's not wrong for Mr. Miao to take it as an honor!
Adeline spoke of Canhua with a serious expression: "Canhua was left to me by my parents, and I won't sell it to anyone!"
This was like a slap in Felix's face. Everyone looked at him uneasily and held their hands for Adeline, but Mr. Felix didn't show any displeasure at all. Instead, he said, "Miss Adeline is worthy of praise for her filial piety."
Adeline thought that he had once had the idea of acquiring Canhua and immediately felt unhappy. Even when he praised her, she didn't give him a friendly look.
Seeing the atmosphere was off, Director Miao quickly changed the subject: "I heard that Mr. Capet is planning to shoot a TV drama recently. How is it going?"
"Okay, okay!" Adeline was afraid Felix would find out about her past with Mr. Qian, so she didn't want to say much and just touched on it briefly.
Director Miao, however, is insincere: "Really good? I've heard that you've been looking for investment recently. Although our emperor is having some difficulties at the moment, the dramas we're making are good. There are two dramas being made at the moment, and the investors all like it."
This is blatant showing off, Adeline's face turned pale, but she gritted her teeth and said nothing.
Felix had a look of displeasure in his eyes: "It's a pity that Director Miao is in his current position. He should go to the entertainment gossip department. It must be a good fit for you."
Gossip reporter, isn't that a paparazzo?
Director Miao didn't dare to say anything more at once and sheepishly shut his mouth.
When Mr. Qian saw that he was clearly defending Adeline, he was even more flustered, thinking of some excuse to leave, but when he looked up, the big IIII boss was looking at him with a burning gaze.
"Is Mr. Qian quiet today?"
"I... I saw that Mr. Felix had something important to discuss, so I couldn't interrupt him casually for fear of disturbing you!"
"So that's it. I thought you had changed your temper. By the way, you just said you came to see a friend. Where's that friend? Let's call him over for a drink together."
Mr. Qian subconsciously looked at Adeline, who stiffened for a moment and gave him a warning glance.
"That friend is gone long ago and has no chance to see Mr. Felix."
"Is that so?" Felix nodded indifferently, leaning back somewhat lazily, with his long right arm stretched out and resting on the sofa, looking as if he were holding Adeline in his arms, evoking endless reverie.
"Yes, yes! "Mr. Felix, I have something urgent to attend to and I'm afraid I won't be able to stay with you for long." Mr. Qian lowered his head and wiped the sweat on his face.
As he spoke, he stood up. Suddenly, there was a loud "bang", and a wine glass broke at his feet. The wine in the glass spilled onto his trouser leg. In an instant, his legs gave way and he sat down directly.
Felix wiped his hand lightly: "I'm sorry, my hand just shook and broke the glass."
He was at least ten steps away from Mr. Qian, and it was impossible for his hand to shake and break the cup. Everyone realized in an instant that Mr. Felix was deliberately punishing Mr. Qian.
"Mr. Qian, you're only half drunk. Why do you suddenly say you're leaving? What's more important than being with Mr. Felix?"
Mr. Qian was almost scared out of his wits. It's said that the emperor's anger is terrifying, and this Mr. Felix is no less angry. How dare he bring up the matter of leaving at this moment? He quickly sat down obediently.
Director Miao eased his anger: "It would be better to call a few women over to drink and have a good time together."
The man next to him kicked him, who knew that Felix, who didn't like women, dared to say such a thing at this moment.
"Well, let them in!"
When Felix said this, everyone was pleasantly surprised. Adeline's heart sank and her fingers tightened on her bag.
Sure enough, he was no gentleman. He played with the things played by the spoiled brats of the upper class.
He must have been to many such places, and this time he was there, he must have done it on purpose.
