Chapter 585
Halsey looked at the young man and tried to pull her delicate wrist out of his grip. “I’m just a waitress, here to serve drinks. I don’t drink with customers. Let go of me!”
However, he didn’t let go. In fact, the more she struggled, the more it seemed to amuse him. “Come on, aren’t you here to make money? Have a drink with me, and I’ll pay you.”
Halsey shook her head. “I don’t want your money!”
With a snap of his fingers, the young man’s assistant immediately walked in, carrying a box. He opened it, revealing stacks of bills. Then, he picked up a stack and waved it in front of her.
“Here’s a thousand. Have a glass with me.”
Halsey’s voice remained firm. “I don’t want it!”
He grinned. “Alright, then. How about five thousand? Five thousand if you drink just one glass with me.”
“I said I don’t want it!” Halsey repeated, her tone resolute.
Theo, the rich young man, chuckled. “Playing hard to get, huh? Well, you’ve certainly caught my attention now!”
Around them, the others laughed and egged him on. “There are plenty of girls who would kill for the chance to drink with Theo. I suggest you take this chance–don’t miss it!”
“Seems like Theo really likes this girl. Haven’t seen him this interested in anyone before!”
Rachel, sitting on the couch, watched the scene unfold. She turned to Dwight. “Looks like Theo’s about to make a new friend, huh?”
Dwight lounged on the sofa, swirling his wine glass, the bright red liquid swaying as he stared coldly at Theo Pena and Halsey.
“Why are you so quiet?” Rachel asked, her tone suddenly concerned.
She could feel the shift in Dwight’s mood. Usually, he was hard to read–he kept his emotions well hidden. Even though he had agreed to date her, there were times when Rachel felt like she couldn’t understand him. He was always so cold and indifferent.
But now, as he watched Theo and Halsey, his demeanor had taken a sharp, icy turn. The atmosphere around him seemed to drop, heavy and tense.
Rachel’s gaze shifted back to Halsey. Who was she?
Theo laughed. “This whole box of cash is yours. Come on. Let’s have that drink now.”
This time, Theo didn’t give Halsey a chance to refuse. He yanked her toward him, and she found herself abruptly sitting on his lap.
Halsey froze, her body stiffening. She hated being touched by strangers, especially in such a forceful way.
She tried to push him off. “Let go of me! Don’t touch me!”
“Why do you always wear that mask? Take it off and let me see your face.”
Halsey’s eyes, wide and bright, were visible above the mask. Anyone who saw them would be captivated, longing to see what her full face looked like.
“Theo, go ahead, take off her mask. Maybe her face isn’t as pretty as you think, and you’ll be disappointed!”
“That’s impossible! Look at her figure, her aura, her eyes. Her face must be just as beautiful.”
“Right, trust Theo’s judgment. The girls he’s interested in are always perfect!”
Chapter 585
The crowd around them jeered, egging Theo on.
Theo reached out, intending to pull off Halsey’s mask.
Halsey quickly blocked his hand. “Don’t look at my face!”
“Why not?”
“Because… Only my boyfriend can see my face! If you look, he’ll get mad!”
“Boyfriend?” Theo blinked, taken aback. “You have a boyfriend?”
