Chapter 413 Safe Distance
Hearing that, Ralph's expression shifted slightly, followed by a sly grin. "One night is enough."
That pretty much spelled out his intentions.
Riley was taken aback for a second, then it clicked, and her expression turned icy. "Not interested. Please, Mr. Cook, leave me alone. I need some space."
Ralph's face darkened at her constant rejection.
But with so many people around at the banquet, he couldn't do much. Feeling annoyed, he extended his wine glass to her again, his voice carrying a slight threat. "Well then, Ms. Monroe, you wouldn't turn down a drink with me, would you?"
Riley hesitated.
The guy in front of her was clearly a player, and she wasn't sure what he might do.
Ralph saw her hesitation and sneered, "There are plenty of people here. Don't worry, I won't do anything. I'm not the type to force a woman."
Riley frowned but eventually picked up her glass, clinked it with his, and took a small sip.
Ralph shot her a dangerous look before heading back to the crowd.
As he walked away, Riley let out a quiet sigh of relief.
Back in the crowd, Ralph was quickly surrounded by a bunch of his playboy friends who teased him, "Is there really a woman Mr. Cook can't get? Who is she to be so disrespectful?"
Ralph glared at them, annoyed.
Someone chimed in, "I heard she came with Mr. Wilder from H City. We better not mess with her."
Ralph smacked the guy on the head. "Mr. Wilder already has a fiancée. How could he come with this woman? And even if they did, it doesn't mean anything. The one who brought her here is Mr. Rogers, which only means she has a regular relationship with Mr. Wilder!"
The guy hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"So what are you gonna do? She practically ignored you!" another one asked.
Ralph downed his drink in one gulp and said angrily, "I never miss out on a woman I want!"
Everyone agreed with him.
Riley had no idea what was coming.
She had already had a few drinks while chatting with Harold earlier. After sitting for a bit, she got up to go to the restroom.
As she left the hall, Ralph and his crew quietly followed her.
Riley didn't notice and went straight into the restroom.
When she came out, she found herself blocked by several playboys at the door.
Her face changed slightly.
"Ms. Monroe, what a coincidence," Ralph said casually, striding towards her.
Riley frowned, looking at them cautiously, and said, "Mr. Cook, I'm Mr. Rogers' guest. Mind your manners!"
Ralph raised an eyebrow, unfazed, "I know, but so what? Mr. Rogers isn't here with you now. If you can call him over, I'll leave right away."
Riley couldn't call anyone and started to back away, trying to keep a safe distance.
