Sensing Ian's thoughts, Dominic laid back on the couch and said lazily, "Shouldn't you at least pick someone who's easy on the eyes if you're going to look for a man? Go to my buddy over there."
Gloriana immediately looked at Ian and Leonard and immediately understood what Dominic meant when she noticed Ian's gaze on her.
She obediently went to Ian's side and said, "I've never left with anyone. Although I've been to such parties a few times, I'm too reserved, and Yelena doesn't force me to do anything.
"However, I think I'm willing to do so if it's you, Mr. Clarke. I'm clean and innocent!"
Ian squinted his eyes and said, "I'll see how you behave."
After sitting with them for some time, Gloriana noticed that Leonard and Dominic were still alone. She asked cautiously, "I have a few friends. They're also very clean and innocent.
"Would Mr. Miller and Mr. Sawyer be interested in them? We understand the rules and won't spread anything around."
Before Dominic could say anything, Leonard said, "Bring them here for us to take a look."
Dominic turned to look at Leonard strangely. "What's wrong with you? I thought you weren't interested in the women."
Leonard pursed his lips. "That doesn't mean I should keep being alone. I'm already here. I might as well have my fun."
After gaining approval, Gloriana called her friends over. Soon, five women arrived. They all had decent looks and figures.
Among them was a woman who seemed particularly young, timid, hesitant, and cautious. Leonard only glanced at her once before he chose her. He figured that women like her were usually clean.
After Leonard made his choice, Dominic waved off the remaining women without hesitation. Although he was holding back some pent-up frustration, he wouldn't vent it recklessly.
Gloriana sat beside Ian, but her gaze lingered on Dominic. Although her feelings for him would never be reciprocated, his every movement still captivated her, making it impossible for her to let go.
When Gloriana didn't return after a while, Yelena finally noticed Dominic and his friends.
