“Mr. Nacht, look, these are the beauties that I have chosen for you,” Theo introduced them smugly. “These aren’t just ordinary girls. All of them come from illustrious families. They are also highly educated, knowledgeable, and excel in many fields. Some of them are top-rated actresses while others are supermodels.”
When Zachary signaled with his hand, Ben ushered the girls surrounding him away.
After sipping a glass of wine, Zachary asked leisurely, “What did Louis tell you?”
“Erm…” Stumped, Theo’s expression froze awkwardly. He quickly explained, “He didn’t say anything. Since both of you are good friends, he is always concerned about you-”
Before Theo could finish, Zachary suddenly pressed closer with a ferocious look in his eye. “Given how you painstakingly set this up, don’t tell me you don’t know anything.”
“I… I…” Stuttering fearfully, sweat broke out on Theo’s forehead.
“Hmph!” Zachary suddenly backed off and stopped pressuring him. After that, he continued sipping his wine.
“Mr. Nacht, don’t be angry,” Theo explained frantically. “When I saw how gloomy you looked recently, I just wanted to cheer you up. If I have offended you, I’ll get them to leave right away.”
Just as he spoke, he was about to order his subordinates to take the girls away.
“No need,” Zachary interrupted him. “You’re right. I should find myself some entertainment.”
Raising his gaze, he looked as if he had come to a decision. Then, he raised his glass and clinked it with Theo’s.
His sudden actions caused Theo to feel relieved.
“Hahaha…” The terror he previously felt was now replaced with elation. “As long as it makes you happy, Mr. Nacht!”
The next moment, Theo barked out, “Quick, music please!”
“All of you, stand over here so that Mr. Nacht can have a good look!”
The ladies quickly crowded over and formed a line so that Zachary could take his pick.
Behind him, the group of businessmen began to egg him on.
“Mr. Nacht, you’re in luck! All these ladies are top-rated specimens indeed. Regardless of whether you like them pretty, sexy, or intelligent, you will be spoilt for choice tonight!”
“Haha, exactly. Pleasure is, after all, the whole point of life.”
“You could even start building a harem. Given your prowess, I’m sure it won’t be a problem for you.”
“What are you saying? Mr. Nacht is choosing a girlfriend. You guys should stop spouting nonsense.”
“Exactly, do you think Mr. Nacht is as lecherous as you are?”
“No, no, I’m just trying to liven up the atmosphere.”
The group of men were already filled with excitement.
Looking at the group of ladies, Zachary had no reaction at all. After sweeping a gaze at them, he continued to sip his wine.
“Mr. Murphy, how can Mr. Nacht choose a partner when you don’t allow him to see their figures? By dressing in traditional Ferropenian clothing, everything is hidden underneath. Furthermore, by getting them to don a mask, what is there left to see?” one of the businessmen commented.
“Precisely.” The men suggested boisterously, “I saw a heated pool just outside the lobby. Why don’t we get them to change into bikinis and rinse off their makeup before lining up to be chosen again? Hahaha.”
“That’s a wonderful idea!”
One by one, the men tossed out ideas as if they were the event’s guest of honor.
As for the ladies participating in the pageant, they didn’t resist at all. Instead, they replied with a smile, “No problem. After all, we look equally good with or without makeup.”
“I agree that these clothes are too bulky.”
“Yes, exactly.”
“However, I feel that looks aren’t the only thing Mr. Nacht is looking for.”
Suddenly, a girl suggested a different perspective in fluent Chanaean. “What he cares about is whether one understands him!”
Zachary lifted his gaze the moment he heard those words.
From the crowd, a tall and slender lady stared at him earnestly. Compared to the others, she was neither impetuous nor overwhelmed by excitement. Instead, she exuded a sense of beautiful calm.
