Lowering his head, he bit down hard on her lips.

"Ouch, it hurts!" Pushing him, Carolien grimaced in pain.

The next second, her delicate chin fell into a strong palm. "I don't like other people touching what's mine. Be good or I'll make you suffer!"

She felt like he was going to crush her entire body. For the first time, Carolien clearly felt the hostility from his body. Carolien's eyes softened a little because of

nervousness.

"Okay, I heard you. I won't forget. I have a great memory, so I won't forget a thing!"

"Can he let go now? It really hurts!"

It was fortunate that she hadn't gotten plastic surgery on her chin. Otherwise, he would've completely ruined her filler.

She blinked her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttered flirtatiously. Only then did Elijah slowly retract his hand. "Remember my words. Don't just keep playing dumb with me here!"

Carolien was afraid that he would hurt her again. This time, she took the initiative to stick a little closer to him and tucked her chin into his neck.

"So you don't let me dance with other people, and you won't let me dance for other people either... Ignoring the fact that this is my line of work, I will go crazy if I have to stay in a corner all day. Let's make a deal. Can I dance once or twice a week? No, what about just one night? I won't dance with anyone. I'll dance onstage, and I promise I'll cover myself up. I'll also stay two feet away from everyone else. Deal?"

As soon as she said this, Carolien suddenly realized how good of an idea this was. Why didn't she think of it before?

Previously, she couldn't go onstage. Partly because she was too busy managing the nightclub, and partly because she had promised her mother before that no matter how hard things got, she would never go onstage. Her mother had said before that women who danced were extremely attractive to men. The nightclub was her territory. She had the freedom to do things, but she was always bound to it. If a man ever fell for her, she wouldn't be able to escape him. Dancer girls could end their contracts, quit, or even disappear. However, she could not do the same. This was her source of income. If she got into trouble, she wouldn't even have a home anymore.
