The Tutor's Seduction novel Chapter 5

At 7:30 pm, Ariella and Elise arrived at a hotel in the suburbs. They both got out of the car one after another. Ariella was wearing a black shirt, black pants, and a pair of black flat leather shoes, while Elise was wearing a white mini dress with strap heels.

As soon as Elise got out of the car, she naturally naturally reached out and held Ariella's arm and they walked shoulder to shoulder. She whispered, "Hold me a little."

Ariella said indifferently, "Honey, take off your sunglasses. It's a smooth road ahead."

Elise took off her sunglasses and looked at Ariella as if she had just noticed her all-black outfit. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why are you dressed like a bodyguard?"

Ariella replied, "To highlight your boss lady status."

Elise held her chin up and said, "My dad dared to look down on my newly established company. When I got the invitation from him, he said I would definitely be disappointed tonight and tried to talk me out of this before I even started. What kind of person is he?He must be so afraid that

I'll suddenly become richer than him."

Ariella expressionlessly said, "It means Uncle is very competitive. He wants you to depend on him, not the other way around."

The two gagged and walked inside. Along the way, Elise caught a glimpse of a group of middle-aged men talking and laughing.

Ariella followed her gaze and asked, "What's up?"

Elise stared and said, "That guy in the brown pants is Chett Dalton, the vice president of The Seinfield Group. Seinfield is the big shot in the cultural media industry. If I could get in with them, I’d have nothing to worry about in the future."

Ariella said, "Well, what are you waiting for? Go and introduce yourself."

The girls stood nearby, looking pretty but with a predatory gaze like wolves in the woods, waiting for an opportunity. Finally, when the crowd around Chett dispersed, Elise seized the moment and rushed forward.

Elise had studied media in college and had been roommates with Ariella, who was in the mathematics department, for several years. She was great at talking and could turn introverts into chatterboxes. Ariella did not worry about about her social skills and even felt that she had become more talkative because of Elise.

From a distance, Ariella couldn't hear the conversation, but it seemed to be going well. Just when she thought there was hope, someone approached Chett and said something, and he left immediately, leaving his assistant to chat with Elise.

Ariella couldn't gauge Chett's attitude and didn't want to approach him rashly. Instead, she found a seat to wait. Before she could get comfortable, she saw Elise rolling her eyes and walking back. Ariella got up and asked softly, "That was quick."

Elise was fuming, "If it weren't for my dad's constant nagging, telling me not to bring him any trouble before I've sealed the deal myself, I would've punched this bastard!"

Ariella glanced at Chett's assistant, who was also looking at them - specifically, at Ariella.

Annoyed, Elise grabbed Ariella's arm and said, "Don't pay him any attention."

Ariella asked curiously, "What's wrong? Did he have any inappropriate thoughts about you?"

Standing in front of Everett, Elise handed him her card with both hands, smiling, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Carter. I'm Elise. I look forward to working with you in the future."

Everett looked indifferent, not even glancing at her. Chett handed him a lighter, and he took a puff of his cigarette, ignoring everyone else.

Elise's face turned red instantly, but she maintained a polite smile and took her card back, nodding and whispering, "Sorry to bother you."

Feeling embarrassed and awkward, Elise wanted nothing more than to disappear. Just then, a familiar voice rang out behind her, "What a coincidence, Mr. Carter. You're here too."

Elise turned to see Ariella, her face pale.

Ariella's face was as calm and casual as ever, her gaze fixed on Everett in the center of the sofa.

The crowd eagerly observed Ariella from head to toe, then discreetly watched Everett's reaction. Although his expression didn't change, he spoke to Ariella, "What are you doing here? Do you have any side businesses besides your main job?"

Ariella smiled and looked at Elise, "Not me. I'm here to support my bestie. She just started a cultural media company and wants to learn from you all."

Just because Everett had spoken to Ariella, everyone present had various thoughts about their relationship. Before Everett could say anything, someone chimed in, "It turns out you're a friend of Mr. Carter."

Chett even gave up his seat, indicating for Ariella to sit next to Everett.
