Chapter 16: Sitting on His Lap
Actually, whenever Harrison came, he hardly let the female attendants accompany him.
But there was one time when Lauren poured him a drink, and he drank it. So, everyone felt that Lauren held a somewhat special place in his heart.
After all, she was the star attraction of the club, with exceptional looks, figures, and talent.
Lauren thought the same way in her heart.
So, when she heard that Harrison had come today, she immediately wanted to go to the private room to accompany him.
She didn't expect Harrison to bring his secretary along.
She had heard of Adeline, who was Harrison's chief secretary, but Lauren had never seen her before.
Today was a good opportunity to see what Adeline looked like.
"I understand. Have some rest first," Lauren said with a smile.
"Thank you, Lauren."
After the female attendant left, Lauren didn't immediately go to the private room. Instead, she returned to her own rest area, carefully touched up her makeup, and then got up to head to the private room.
Harrison and the others were getting ready to play cards.
A female attendant shuffled the cards. Suddenly, Sam said, "Wait a minute, are we just going to play like this? Shouldn't we decide what the loser has to do?"
"Isn't it usually about paying a fine?"
Sam sneered and said, "Look at everyone here, who's short of money? Fining isn't fun at all. let's make it more exciting."
"what sneaky idea are you holding back now?"
"What? Are you guys afraid to play?" Sam provocatively asked.
"What's there to be afraid of? Fire away!"
Throughout, Harrison didn't say a word.
Sam didn't seem to be seeking his opinion and continued, "How about this, for the first round, whoever loses has to let the woman next to them sit on their lap. What do you think?"
As he said this, people around the card table started laughing.
Adeline, however, couldn't find it amusing. She didn't expect Sam to propose something so bold right off the bat.
"Mr. Juarez, you're so naughty," a female attendant said playfully.
"Women love men to be naughty! What, you don't like my punishment?" Sam teased.
"So annoying.'
Sam then asked Harrison, "Harrison, don't keep silent all this time. Do you agree to this punishment?"
Adeline hoped Harrison would refuse.
However, Harrison just said calmly, "It's up to you guys."
"Oh? Harrison agreed! Let's start!"
The crowd started to deal with the cards.
Adeline was already on pins and needles. She could only pray in her heart that Harrison wouldn't lose.
However, things didn't go as she hoped.
In the first round, Harrison lost.
The moment she learned the outcome,
Adeline felt her brain go blank.
Was she supposed to sit on Harrison's lap in front of everyone in this place?
"Oh, Harrison lost!" Sam said meaningfully,
"And the person beside Harrison is Ms. Hensley, so according to the punishment..."
He deliberately didn't finish his sentence.
But everyone knew what he meant. Their gazes shifted between Harrison and Adeline, as if waiting to see whether Harrison would let Adeline sit on his lap.
Harrison threw the remaining cards in his hand onto the table without saying a word.
He had no intention of refusing at all. Adeline suddenly felt angry.
She had been by his side for five years, worked diligently, and accompanied him through the ups and downs.
And now, he treated her like this.
Even though she had slept with him that night, it was because he had lost control.
She had her own motives. She liked him, but she had never thought of using that night to blackmail him.
Why did he treat her so unfairly? Since he wanted to torment her in this way, she wouldn't let him have his way.
He just wanted to see her embarrassed.
She wouldn't give in like this. Adeline smiled.
Her smile was so beautiful, making the men stare in awe.
Harrison's brows furrowed slightly, and he seemed displeased.
However, just then, Adeline suddenly stood up, placing her hand on his shoulder.
Then she turned around and sat on his lap.
Harrison hadn't reacted yet when he was already holding her.
Not only that, Adeline also lifted her arms and wrapped them around his neck.
"Wow!"
The people around them began to cheer.
Some were surprised.
Harrison had never been this intimate with any woman before.
He hadn't even let other women touch him.
They never expected him to let Adeline sit on his lap.
Harrison looked at Adeline, his eyebrows slightly raised.
"Mr. Thomson, what's wrong?" Adeline smiled and said, "According to the rules, the loser has to accept the punishment.
Isn't that what you agreed to?"
Harrison stared at her for a moment before smiling too.
"You never fail to surprise me.'
"You flatter me."
Adeline tried hard to make her body less stiff.
Since things had come to this, she absolutely couldn't lose to Harrison.
Anyway, it was Harrison who agreed to the punishment rule.
Harrison couldn't find fault with her doing this.
Harrison didn't speak to her anymore, maintaining this posture and continuing to deal with the cards.
At this moment, the two were very close.
Their breaths intertwined, and it wasn't clear whose heart was racing, Sam was picking cards while saying, "What's the punishment for the second round? Let me think... "
"Mr. Juarez, are you going to change it up for each round?"
"That's what makes it interesting, isn't it?" Sam laughed boldly, "I don't care, whoever can't handle it today will be up against me."
"Who can't handle it? So what's the punishment for the second round?"
Sam's eyes turned, and then he said, "For the second round, whoever loses has to kiss the woman next to them!"
"Oh my, Mr. Juarez, you're so mean! Sitting on the lap and now kissing too! How cheeky!" the female attendant next to Sam said.
The men and women present all laughed.
Although the female attendants pretended to scold Sam, they were all experienced in this regard and didn't think there was anything unacceptable.
But Adeline's scalp was tingling.
She wanted to grab Sam by the neck and ask him if he was deliberately picking on her.
Sitting on the lap and now kissing too?
If Harrison lost again, did thatmean she would have to kiss him? Even though they had kissed before,, it would arouse suspicion doing this in such a place.
However, Harrison showed no signs of objection whatsoever and calmly dealt with the cards.
Lauren couldn't help but raise her gaze to look at him. But she met his eyes. He seemed mocking her fear.
Adeline gritted her teeth, determined to tough it out.
Lauren walked into the private room and was greeted with this scene.
Adeline was sitting on Harrison's lap, nestled in his arms.
Her eyes widened in disbelief, sucking in a sharp breath of air.
She couldn't believe that a woman could sit on Harrison's lap.
She had never seen such a scene before.
Previously, just because Harrison drank the drink she poured, many female attendants envied her.
Now, a woman was being held in Harrison's arms.
Then Lauren pouring drinks for him meant nothing.
Those who had envied her before might secretly mock Lauren now.
Lauren bit her lips, composed herself, and walked in gracefully.
Aside from the card game table, other people were chatting and drinking in the private room.
They immediately brightened up when they saw Lauren.
"Isn't this Lauren? I haven't seen her for long," a man named Gunnar Clarke smiled and waved at her. "Come, come sit here with me."
Lauren, being the star attraction of the club, naturally had some diplomatic skills.
Although her goal was Harrison, she couldn't just refuse Gunnar.
After all, Gunnar was also from a wealthy family, and she couldn't afford to offend him.
"Mr. Clarke, it's been a long time since we met. Cheers," Lauren poured a drink for Gunnar, her eyes alluring.
Gunnar's bones almost turned to jelly, and when he took the glass, he took the opportunity to touch Lauren's hand.
Lauren felt repulsed, but she didn' t show it. Instead, she giggled intentionally, "Mr. Clarke, you're so naughty."
She raised her voice deliberately, wanting to attract Harrison's attention.
However, since she walked in, Harrison hadn't even glanced at her.
Lauren's gaze then fell on Adeline, who was sitting in Harrison's lap.
