Elaine also knew that he was in a dangerous situation tonight. Fortunately, Jackson appeared in time. “Thank you.”
Jackson slid open the phone screen and heard her words. He said indifferently, “A verbal thank you is too insincere. It’s best if you do something practical.”
She did not know if she was thinking in the wrong direction, but she felt that this sentence had a deeper meaning, as if it was hinting at something. Her face suddenly felt hot.
Cyrus acted as if he did not hear anything and focused on driving.
She hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and said to Cyrus, “Cyrus, go to the hotel.”
When they arrived at the hotel, Elaine was about to go to the bathroom to take a shower. Jackson said with a faint smile, “Can’t wait?“She was speechless, and a blush rose on her cheeks. Had she misunderstood what he meant?
Jackson looked at her embarrassed look and seemed to be in a good mood. His lips curled into a faint smile.

gradually froze. His gaze was dark and deep.
Elaine quietly stared at his profile, somewhat inexplicably.
There seemed to be something different about him tonight, but she couldn’t put her finger on it.
The desk phone in the room rang. It must have been a call from the hotel front desk, so she took the liberty of picking it up. The caller spoke briefly and then hung up. She put down the phone and thought for a moment. Then, she left the room and called the hotel staff over to give her some instructions.
She returned to room Jackson and maintained the same posture as before. She stood in front of the window and looked out at the traffic and the neon night.
She approached him and leaned against the window with a smile. “It’s rare for Mr. Mason to call me here tonight to see the night scenery. I don’t have to do it myself.”
Jackson turned around when he heard her voice and looked at her blankly. Clearly, he did not hear what she had just said.

She shrugged indifferently and walked over to open a bottle of red wine. She poured two glasses and walked back to the window. She handed one of the glasses to Jackson.

“Let’s drink to such a beautiful night. “Jackson took it and gently swirled the wine glass. He had already returned to his usual state and glanced at her.
“That’s a terrible reason to drink.”
“I’ll give you a good reason later.”
After saying that, she took a sip of her wine glass. Her lips were even more moist, emitting an alluring luster under the crystal chandelier.
An hour later, someone knocked on the door. Elaine went to open it. A hotel attendant stood outside.
The waiter said to her, “Ms. Valentine, everything is ready. “She thanked him. After the waiter left, she looked back at Jackson, winked at him, and smiled mysteriously.
“There will be unexpected surprises when you go up to the rooftop to enjoy the night view.”
Her eyes were clear and bright to begin with. At this moment, they were even more sparkling under the light. Her playful appearance carried a hint of delicate spiritual energy.
At this moment, he seemed to have been bewitched by her.
While he was in a daze and silent, Elaine took his arm and brought him

to the rooftop on the top floor.
In the middle of the top floor was the candlelight dinner that Elaine had asked the hotel staff to prepare. The dancing candles were burning, and above their heads was the cool night. The stars blinked their bright eyes. Jackson looked at the Western food on the table and frowned. “You didn’t eat dinner?”
Elaine pushed him to sit down. He pulled out a chair and sat opposite him. Instead of answering him, he said, “Do you remember the last time you owed me a meal? I’ll make it up to you today.”
