The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1049

He swung the door open to the private room, and amidst the chaos, he could still pick out one distinct voice.

He glanced sideways. Cicely was sitting lazily in her chair, facing away from him.

"I'm jobless and broke now. If you guys know of any good gigs, give me a heads up."

"You've been pampered since you were a kid, there ain't no job that suits you! And besides, you just got out of the slammer. Who'd dare to hire you?"

Cicely was spoiled rotten. Her demeanor and looks were enough to turn anyone green with envy.

In school, she was always one of a kind, full of herself, and didn't give a damn about anyone. Now that she'd hit a rough patch, there were loads of folks having a good laugh at her expense behind her back.

Everyone had a few drinks tonight, so their tongues were let loose.

The idea of a woman going to prison was mind-boggling to everyone present.

There was an awkward silence that fell over the table.

Yet Cicely seemed unfazed, and nodded thoughtfully, "Hmm...you're right."

At this point, one of her classmates tried to break the ice, "Cicely, are you hinting at something? Dewey, this is your thing to handle."

"Yeah, yeah, Dewey, your time to shine!"

"If Cicely marries Dewey, and becomes the high and mighty wife of his, she'll be rolling in dough, right? Why bother finding a job?"

Dewey's expression was a bit frosty, his voice dropping a notch.

"Quit messing around."

Cicely turned to look at him, then suddenly leaned in close, grinning cheekily.

"Are you disgusted by me?"

Cicely was always stunning, no matter the time or place. When she smiled, her eyelids curved slightly forming a crescent shape, as if her eyes were brimming with laughter.

Dewey didn't meet her gaze. His expression wavered slightly, then he murmured, "How could I be?"

"Then why did you get so pissed just now?"

"I wasn't..."

Cicely straightened up, "Good then."

Good then...

Was this some kind of approval, or a statement?

Approval of Dewey? A hint that she hoped he would pursue her, even willing to become his wife in the future?

Seth watched her slender figure, a cold light flickering in his eyes.

He turned and headed towards the restroom.

Cicely laughed carefreely, "Seems like my charm is still pretty strong, huh?"

Dewey chuckled helplessly. He knew it would end up like this...

She was always full of surprises.

Everyone seized the opportunity to butter up to Dewey and toast him. Dewey was stuck, and Cicely got up and headed towards the restroom.

Once she passed the security corridor, the noise from the hall gradually faded. With her departure, all sounds disappeared. She let out a soft sigh.
