Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 44

Alice was wearing a tight, red dress, standing gracefully at the door and smiling, "Hello, Ivan."

Upon seeing her, Carson raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr.Sullivan, you lost."

Right after he said that, Carson pored another glass of red wine for Victor.

A wicked smile appeared on his lips as he thought, 'Well, you're the one who wants to threaten me by using my father.This is just karma.My father is eager to have a grandson, but I have no interest in getting married.' 

Carson didn't stop pouring the wine until some of it spilled out.His revenge on Victor was so obvious.

Ivan made way for Alice.

While holding a stack of documents, she locked her eyes on Victor.

"Mr.Sullivan," Alice greeted shyly.

"How did you know I was here?"

Victor asked while glancing at her from the corner of his eye.

"Um… I actually didn't know.I'm here for Mr.Scott," Alice answered with a pale face.

Carson's eyes widened in disbelief as he straightened himself up.

"You're looking for me?" Alice swallowed and nodded.

Victor straightened his legs, pushed the wine glass towards Carson, and gloated, "It's time to uphold the bet."

Carson's lips twitched.

"Why are you looking for me? Don't tell me you're attracted to me! I'm not interested in you!"

He just declared in public that he wasn't interested in Alice, and it made her feel a bit embarrassed.

She tightened her grip on the documents, and said, "Mr.Scott, you misunderstood my intention.I just went here to bring in documents that need your signature and acknowledgement."

Upon hearing that, Carson sneered.

"You're just asking me for my signature? What kind of document needs to be signed at this time of day? Alice, are you using the pretext of needing my signature as an excuse to look for Victor?"

He and Victor were best friends, but they were also business partners.

It was normal for Carson to sign some documents for the Sullivan Group when the need arose.

But this was the first time that Alice came here to look for him at this time of the night.

Naturally, he would be suspicious of this action.

And of course, Alice came here with the knowledge that Victor was going to be here with Carson.

She didn't have the right to know Victor's schedule, but knowing Carson's playboy attitude, it was easy to figure out his whereabouts with the help of her connections.

Her little secret was exposed, so Alice blushed in embarrassment.

Fortunately, the room was a bit dim, so her red cheeks were practically invisible to the naked eye.

"Of course not," she denied.

"This document is urgent, and it is of utmost importance.I'm worried that my subordinate might mess it up, so I came here in person to ask for your signature, Mr.Scott."

Realizing that he had lost the bet, Carson pursed his lips and reached his hand out to Alice.

"Well, give me the documents then."

Not long after, he signed his name on all the places needed and handed the documents back to her.

"It's been signed.You can leave now."

Alice took the documents and pursed her lips.

It had taken her a long time to find Victor.

Since she couldn't get a hold of him during work, she wasn't going to let this opportunity pass.

‘'Am I really going to this?’' Alice looked down at the glass on the table and braced herself.

"Mr.Scott, I heard that you have a bit of knowledge regarding cocktails.I've actually learned a cocktail mix a few days ago.Would you be so kind as to give me some advice?"

 In his twenty-six years of living, Carson only liked two things.

One was beauty, and the other was liquor, especially novelty cocktails.

"Oh, you know how to make cocktails, do you?"

"A little bit, yes," said Alice.

"Why don't you make one for us then?" Carson smiled, pressing the bell to call one of the waiters outside.

He then asked them to bring in some ingredients and tools for Alice to make cocktails.

In truth, Alice didn't know how to make them. It was just that she was reluctant to leave because she still hadn't spoken to Victor.

Moments later, the tools for making cocktails were ready.

Alice walked to the bar counter and began to make a cocktail on the fly.

A few minutes later, she managed to make two glasses.

Under the dim light, she glanced at Victor.
