Ida cracked a small smile. "Don't get too cocky. Crescent Society can function just fine without your business. We can handle the loss.
I appreciate the romantic gestures you put together today, but I'm not into them. I'm not that naive girl who could be fooled that easily anymore."
Ethan seemed taken aback by her words, and he furrowed his brows. "Ida..."
But Ida didn’t give him a chance to say more. She yelled towards the box door, "Chase!"
"I'm here!"
Chase immediately emerged from the private room.
Ida tossed the car keys to him. "You haven't had a drink, so you drive. We're leaving."
Chase caught the keys and joked, "Well, aren't you treating me like your chauffeur?"
Ida ignored him and started walking towards the exit, waiting at the door for the car.
Soon, Chase drove the car to the door, and Ida got in.
As soon as they got in the car, Chase started teasing Ida.
"Ida, your ex-boyfriend may not be much, but he's got some valuable stuff. He has a lot of resources from big corporations. Are you sure you want to reject him and not collaborate in the future?"
Ida glanced at him disdainfully. "Are you interested in him? How about I introduce you to him? You can date him for those resources."
"Back off! I'm not into guys."
