Chapter 040 Be Confident
When Ivan raised his head, he happened to see Molly.
Molly was wearing an off-shoulder black dress that reached her knees, revealing her slender neck and delicate collarbone.
Although she did not reveal her chest, she was extremely beautiful and sexy.
It was the first time Ivan had seen Molly wear such a sexy and revealing dress.
Her entire collarbone and half of her beautiful legs were exposed.
Ivan frowned, and a nameless fire surged to the top of his head.
What made him even angrier was something else.
At this moment, Chris was holding Molly's shoulder.
Chris’ eyes filled with love and passion.
From Chris’ eyes, Ivan could tell that Chris really liked Molly.
The thought that after dinner, they might go back and do something indescribable made Ivan feel uneasy.
"Ahem..."
lvan coughed and loosened his tie in frustration.
His face was as cold as an ice cube.
"Ivan, what's wrong?"
"Nothing.Let's order."
Eileen's face darkened.She had just ordered her food.
"Ivan, why do you look absent-minded?"
"No, I'm fine."
Ivan tried his best to restrain his agitated emotions, but he couldn't help but keep his eyes on Molly.
Eileen finally realized that something was wrong.
Following Ivan's gaze, Eileen turned around.
"Molly."
When Eileen saw Molly, her eyes widened.
A strong sense of jealousy immediately filled her chest.
No wonder Ivan had such a big reaction.
It turned out that he had seen Molly.
"Ivan, why don't we go and say hello to Molly?" Eileen asked sourly.
"Why should we greet her? Come on, cheers!"
Ivan picked up the red wine glass in front of him.
Eileen paused for a moment, then picked up the wine glass and gently clinked it with Ivan.
"Cheers..."
Before Eileen could finish speaking, Ivan had already taken a big gulp.
The red wine glass was bottomed out.
When Eileen saw the scene, she was furious, and her face darkened.
Damn! Why did she bump into that bitch everywhere she went? Well, it seemed that the atmosphere today was going to be destroyed again.
Ivan poured another half a glass of red wine and drank it all in one go.
"Ivan, what are you doing? You will get drunk if you drink so fast.You can't drink Conti like this!"
This bottle of Romanee-Conti cost a million dollars or so.He should drink it slowly.
But Ivan just gulped it down.
The other side...
Chris and Molly had already bypassed Ivan and Eileen and found a seat on the left side of the restaurant.
Originally, they had reserved the best seats, but they had to give up the reserved seats in order to avoid Ivan.
"Are you cold?"
The restaurant was very cold, so Chris asked with concern.
‘A little bit."
Molly rubbed her arms gently.
"Bring me a shawl."
Chris turned to look at the waiter.
"Yes, Mr.Davis.Please wait a moment."
The waiter brought over the restaurant's exclusive shawl and respectfully presented it to Chris.
Chris stood up and spread the shawl.
Then he put it on Molly's shoulders like a gentleman.
"Thank you."
Chris and Molly smiled at each other.
Today's press conference was perfect.
Under the operation of Chris Davis' public relations team, Molly was packaged into an independent, strong, beautiful, and inspiring image of a strong woman.
Various articles and edited videos were spread on the Internet.
In less than a day, Molly's reputation had improved greatly.
In addition, after the matter of Hatchworks Group cooperating with Accenco Technology broke out, the hearts of the shareholders stabilized a little.
In the afternoon, Hatchworks Group's stock price had stopped fluctuating.
Chris had helped Molly so much, so Molly should treat him to a meal.
Chris looked at Molly ambiguously and gently.He smiled warmly and said, "What would you like to eat?"
"I'll have a steak and a salad"
Chris casually flipped through the menu.
"Then we'll have two servings."
"Alright."
The restaurant was famous for its top quality ribeye cap steak.It was a must-try here.
"After dinner, will you go watch a movie with me?"
"Chris, I have to go back and look after Rose."
Molly's eyes flashed slightly.
"It's just a movie.It won't take much time"
"Maybe next time.I'm tired today."
Molly's eyes darkened as she refused tactfully.
Chris smiled warmly and gently held Molly's hand.
"The movie is a production of my company.Today is the premiere.I hope you can come with me." Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Molly subconsciously retracted her hand.
"Well, I..."
Molly knew that if she agreed to Chris, it was equivalent to agreeing to be his girlfriend.
"Molly, I attended the press conference with you.
In return, you should come to the premiere with me."
"Chris, I can't cope with such an occasion."
"You don't have to deal with it.Just stand by my side and keep me company."
"There are so many beauties in your company.You can ask them to attend with you."
Molly smiled.
"Do you want them to go with me? Do you know what it means?"
Molly was silent and did not answer.
Of course she knew that Chris wanted her to attend as his girlfriend.
But! Molly really did not want to be in love anymore.
Chris tightened his grip on Molly's hand and looked at her calmly.
"Molly, are you sure you won't give me this chance? Not giving yourself a chance either?"
"Chris, you don't have to be like this.You know I don't want to ruin our friendship."
When Chris heard this, he suddenly sneered.
"Friendship?"
"...Isn't that so? I've always thought of you as my best friend."
Molly was stunned.
Chris' handsome face sank.
As a man, he was willing to do so much for her.
That was no longer friendship.
If Chris had no intentions towards Molly, he would not be so stupid as to be willing to so much for her.
"Molly, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?"
Chris raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Molly with a complicated expression.
Chris had never felt this kind of frustration in front of a woman.He had never been so attentive to a woman.
Unfortunately, after four years, Molly still refused to accept him.
Tonight, Chris wanted to solemnly confess to Molly.
If she did not accept it, then he did not want to continue acting as a selfless protector.
Looking at Chris’ eyes, Molly suddenly felt uneasy.
Her eyes began to drift.
"Chris, you really don't have to be like this.I...really can't accept you."
Ivan had already brought her extreme pain.She was really scared.
Molly did not dare to be in love again, and she did not want to get hurt anymore.She had endured a lot in these four years.
"Chris, you are a good person.There should be better women for you.I...am not worthy of you."
"Molly, look at yourself.Do you know how good you are?"
Chris cupped Molly's face and gazed deeply into her eyes "Be confident!"
