Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant

Neon lights flashed within the Royal Club, adding layers of color to the night sky.

With the wound on her leg, Riley chose to wear a pair of silver studded and golden-tipped sneakers, with a black skirt to cover the heel of her leg.

Riley was tall and stood out amongst girls even if she didn’t wear high heels. Normally, she didn’t apply makeup, but tonight, she applied a light makeup and put down her long hair, instantly turning her into an elegant beauty.

The main lobby of the Royal Entertainment Center was filled with attractive women. Before she stepped foot into the lobby, Riley caught sight of Sarah in her bright red dress.

Sarah had a petite figure and wore a gown as red as fire. With her thin arms and legs, she tried to make her breast appear more ample and full. Her short hair was down by her ears, and donned on heavy makeup. Even though it’s been a year since Riley last saw her, Sarah’s every action, posture, and seductive eyes oozed a sense of flirtation.

Sarah’s father owned a listed company in Kyoto. She herself was a fashion designer with a bit of reputation in the industry. She won various recognitions from her recent Milan fashion week competition that just ended, and to celebrate, invited various friends to a party.

Her family wasn’t rich, but her social circle had quite a lot of rich folks, making her celebration party quite lively and high-end.

Looking at how sexy her friend was on the dance floor, Riley thought to herself, is this gal try to reel in a boyfriend? Probably was, since she was at a proper age already, wasn’t trying to get married her top priority?

To avoid cutting in to Sarah’s conversation with some handsome men, Riley found a place to sit and sip red wine. She suddenly felt bored and that she didn’t enjoy this kind of party at all.

She wanted to wait for a time to slip away, but then her cell rang.

The caller ID said “Euan”, and Riley felt her heart wrench together so hard that she almost stopped breathing!

She bit her lip, balled her hand into a fist, and took a deep breath, then answered the call.

"Where are you?"

Without even awaiting Riley to calm her breathing, Euan already threw a simple question at her on the other end of the phone, which caused her to panic.

Hearing the noisy background from her end, Euan tightened his eyebrows; just where was this woman?

“I…”

“Don’t try to lie, speak the truth. If you lie, you wouldn’t be able to afford the consequences.”

Before Riley could even think of an excuse, Euan was already attacking her.

His approach made her unable to come up with anything under pressure.
