Nelly was still groggy from sleep in the room when she suddenly felt a heavy body pressing against her. A cool scent of alcohol wafted through the air and caused her to furrow her brows. “You're back?” she asked.
“Mmm,” Alpha Kilian responded dully. He pressed his lips on her neck, looking like he had drunk too much. Nelly wanted to push him away, but he was too heavy. Left with no choice, she took out her phone and checked the time. A furrow marred her countenance.
“Have you guys been drinking until now?” she asked. “Mm-hmm.” Alpha Kilian nodded again. Seeing him looking like he had drunk too much, Nelly said nothing more. She made a huge effort to move him bit by bit off her body and repositioned him properly. After the process, she couldn't help but pant from exhaustion.
The room was quite dark. Only a dim yellow night light illuminated the room in the distance. However, Nelly could still clearly see Alpha Kilian's silhouette. He was lying on his back at that moment. Even though he had had alcohol, his face showed no sign of drunkenness. On the contrary, he appeared even more composed and handsome.
“Nelly.” Alpha Kilian suddenly called out to her. “Hmm?”
When Nelly looked at him, he quieted down again. Nelly leaned over and asked, “What is it?” There was still no response from Alpha Kilian.
“Are you thirsty? Would you like some water?” Nelly asked gently. In the quiet of the night, her voice was pleasant to hear, carrying an indescribable gentleness. However, Alpha Kilian still kept his eyes tightly closed and did not even move a muscle.
Nelly furrowed her brows. “Wait here. I'll get you some water.” As she spoke, she carefully got up from the bed. However, an unexpected force suddenly came from behind and grabbed her wrist. The next second, she was pulled back and pressed onto the bed. Chuckled. “Of course “So, you—” Alpha Kilian interrupted her with a gentle voice.
“So lovely,” Alpha Kilian said in a low voice. Surprisingly, his magnetic voice, tinted with a hint of a deep laugh, was inexplicably pretty sure at a man and asked. All her sleepiness was gone then and replaced by a playful hope with deep affection. As he spoke, he suddenly grabbed Nelly's hand and placed it on his chest. “And this name,” He gazed at his clear and cold face and met his eyes, which were as deep as the ocean, she felt a surge of her feelings at that moment.
With his eyes downcast and his hair hanging in front of her delicate eyebrows. body, she suddenly leaned in and kissed him. Alpha Kilian leaned down and kissed her passionately. It was as though he was a fierce beast being unleashed and couldn't wait to devour her. Instead, she wrapped her arms tightly around him and kissed him back with equal fervor.
As their lips danced in a fiery embrace, the room filled with the sound of heavy breathing and the rustling of tangled sheets. Their bodies moved in perfect synchrony, exploring the depths of passion and desire.
In the midst of their intimate encounter, Nelly heard Tony's phone ringing in the distance. Glancing at the number, Tony's eyebrows raised slightly. “Here it is.”
While he spoke, he swiped down on the screen with his finger and then tapped to turn on the speaker. “Hello.”
“It's me, Sir.”
“What's wrong?” Tony asked.
“What do you mean? Didn't you say you were looking for that person? I found them!” the person on the other end of the line said.
“So soon?”
“Of course, I know you're in a hurry. I went to great lengths to sneak this out of Magus' house,” the other party replied in a tone full of flattery.
Tony chuckled lightly and said, “You stole it? Aren't you afraid that Magus will find out and come after you?”
“This person has a deep hatred for Magus, so he won't do anything to me because of this. Besides, even if he does get angry, I'll secretly put it back after you guys take a look at the photo. If you and I don't say anything, how would he ever know?”
“It seems that you've thought this through very thoroughly!”
“Of course, I carefully consider every business deal before I proceed,” the other party said. Tony pursed his lips and remained silent.
“Would you prefer if I bring the photos to you, or would you prefer to pick them up?” Tony thought for a moment and said, “Bring it over.”
“Alright, should I head over there now?”
“If you don't mind it coming over at such a late hour, then sure.”
“Of course not. There's nothing too early or too late in business.”
“Then I'll be waiting!”
“Okay.”
And so, the phone call ended. At that moment, Donna narrowed her eyes. After a while of remaining silent, she said faintly, “This person is pretty good.”
Upon hearing this, Tony couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. “Indeed, his ruthlessness is hidden in plain sight.”
Thalia looked at him and asked, “You're not thinking of taking him on as a partner, are you?”
Tony nodded. “He might be useful in our plan, but we have to be cautious. People like him are only focused on personal gain. You could say they side with whoever offers more money. I wouldn't dare to trust him completely.”
Thalia scoffed at him. “Tony, you always have such a narrow-minded view of people.”
Tony raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “So, Thalia, do you have a better idea?”
Thalia nodded. “I do. Let's not just rely on outsiders. We should focus on our own abilities and resources. That's the only way to ensure success.”
Tony glanced at Ben, who had been quiet throughout the conversation. “What do you think, Ben?”
Ben sighed helplessly. “I just feel that, given Tony's personality, we will have to be extremely cautious and always have a backup plan.”
Donna nodded. “I agree with Ben. Tony, I understand what you're thinking. If that's the case, let's proceed, but let's have a backup plan in mind. Although they didn't know what it was, they were certain Tony had something in mind. As long as he had a plan, they still supported him wholeheartedly.
Tony's phone rang again. After seeing the caller ID, he answered, “Hello.”
“Sir, I have arrived!” the voice on the other end said.
