Chapter 1395 - 1335: Lipstick Stains on Lips

"Oh, I misread it," Adrian Desmond replied.

President Davis knew Adrian married into the family, looked down on him, and because Adrian was handsome, in President Davis’s eyes, Adrian was like the young female companions around him, selling their looks for wealth and fame, which made President Davis despise him even more.

"What’s wrong with your eyes? You have a pair of big eyes for nothing!" President Davis criticized Adrian for seeing it wrong.

"The fat on your belly is about to fall to the ground. It’s not surprising I misread you," Adrian retorted.

"Adrian, say a bit less," Sienna Johnson, seeing this man was about to cause trouble again, tugged at his sleeve, advising him not to speak recklessly.

Adrian stepped forward, leaned to President Davis’s ear, and asked, "With such a big belly, how do you manage with women?"

President Davis was startled by Adrian, took a step back, and almost fell because of his large body size.

Adrian grabbed his shoulder with one hand, steadied him, and said, "You should lose some weight, you’re too fat, even if you want women, you won’t be able to handle them."

"Who says I can’t?" A man hates nothing more than being told he can’t in certain areas.

Adrian stepped back, looked at President Davis’s face, and asked, "One minute?"

"What?"

"You finish in a minute!"

Sienna Johnson held Adrian’s hand with an apologetic look, "President Davis, I’m sorry, my husband..."

President Davis provocatively stared at the pretty boy in front of him and said, "I am not like you, you serve women, women serve me. I just have to lie there, and women will tend to me..."

Adrian’s thumb caressed Sienna Johnson’s smooth hand and replied, "So you’re being ridden by women, huh?"

No matter how President Davis heard it, it didn’t sound right, and just as he was thinking of how to counterattack, Sienna Johnson said, "Excuse us," and firmly pulled him away.

Reaching a less crowded area, Sienna Johnson complained, "Didn’t I remind you on the way here to speak less? Why are you still speaking nonsense?"

"I just can’t stand him ogling you lecherously!"

Adrian glanced at Sienna Johnson, who was dressed very conservatively, in high-necked clothes that didn’t even reveal her neck, but the outfit was form-fitting, showcasing her chest and waistline, compelling curiosity.

"Those women are eyeing you lecherously, and I haven’t said a thing."

"Mrs. Desmond, you’re welcome to say something." He wished she would be jealous for him.

Sienna Johnson stood on the steps, making up for their height difference, raised her hand to push his face aside, an intimate gesture between lovers, yet to outsiders, it looked like she was slapping Adrian.

Adrian married into the family, and in everyone’s mind, a man who marries into a family has no status and is subject to a woman’s oppression.

"Get aside!"

Adrian held her hand, caressing it, "How about I work at your company too?"

Sienna Johnson was surprised he even made such a request, "Why?"

"I really dislike you showing your face around. Leave the ’public appearances’ job to me. If I do well, let me be the boss. You just sit back and count the money.

Mrs. Desmond, what do you think?"

Sienna Johnson looked at Adrian and said, "With your temper, if I really handed the company over to you, you’d surely wreck it."

"Mrs. Desmond, I also do business, and it’s even bigger than yours, okay? Don’t you think what you just said was quite inappropriate?"

A waiter came over with a tray of wine glasses, Adrian picked one, took a sip, and then fed Sienna Johnson a sip.

She tasted it, grape wine, not rich enough in flavor, not as good as her own brewed osmanthus wine.

Sienna Johnson replied, "It’s because your business is bigger that I said you can’t do my job."

"What do you mean?"

"Because you’ve grown big and strong, so others have to watch your face, but Eastminster Group is not. Now I have to watch many people’s faces..."

Their position was near the window, and their conversation was low enough not to be heard by others.

Sienna Johnson slowly said, "Many of the men attending this banquet today, I don’t like. Even if I don’t like them, I still have to chat and laugh with them... I can’t be like you, not liking them and just giving them a face."

"..."

"Sixth Master doesn’t have my good temper," Sienna Johnson laughed.

Sienna Johnson had mingled in the men’s world for so long that she couldn’t stand many things and people.

For example, that man not far away in a plaid suit, hugging a young woman. That man got rich and abandoned his plain wife, transferring assets during their divorce and leaving his ex-wife with nothing.

Or Mr. Wilcox, who, for profit, sold substandard drugs but had a powerful father-in-law, so he had a smooth ride and was never caught.

This world has never been fair.

"If it’s such a grievance, why do you plan to run for President? A woman in a man’s world, it’s not easy."

"It’s my father’s last wish!"

Sienna Johnson also picked up a glass of wine from the waiter’s tray, clinked her glass with Adrian’s, slightly tilted her head, and took a small sip.

"I haven’t had a drink in a long time, it’s a bit uncomfortable."

Sienna Johnson’s hand was on her lips, looking at the wine in the glass, once, she drank two bottles of this.

She later passed out, and it was Lucas Robertson who took her back.

If Lucas hadn’t taken her back, she would’ve been eaten alive by that group of men.

There were many things Sienna Johnson dared not tell Adrian, fearing it would make him angry.

"Your father’s last wishes are really a lot." Adrian’s tone was cold.

"Don’t say that, my father was a good person.

If my father were alive, you’d definitely like him." Seeing Adrian had hostility towards her father, Sienna Johnson spoke well on her father’s behalf.

"All fathers-in-law dislike sons-in-law! Your father wouldn’t have liked me either, just like how I won’t like Curly and Claire’s future husbands."

Sienna Johnson laughed, her eyes shimmering, "Isn’t it good to have someone help you take care of your two precious daughters?"

"I’ll take care of them myself."

"You can’t keep two daughters at home and let them become old maids, can you? When I’m old, you still have to take care of me. Let someone else take the daughters."

"Of course, I love you the most!" Adrian declared.

Sienna Johnson blushed, her lips involuntarily curving upward, smiling at Adrian, who pulled her into his arms and kissed her, lipstick staining his lips.

"You have lipstick on your lips." Sienna Johnson’s lipstick transferred onto his lips, she wiped it off with her fingers.

"Though I don’t want to admit it, Mrs. Desmond, you are the most beautiful woman here today."

"Though I don’t want to admit it, Sixth Master, you are the most handsome man here today."
