Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 250: Each with Their Own Plans

He had reserved the entire venue specifically to avoid being disturbed, and he had even studied strategies on how to woo women. One tactic involved watching a horror movie, expecting that at the first sign of tension, Irene would likely dive into his arms, thus naturally bridging the gap between them.

Unexpectedly, the cinema suddenly filled with people, which greatly annoyed him. Out of consideration for Irene's feelings, he couldn't just drive these bothersome people away.

Finding no better option, he settled for a secluded spot, coincidentally thinking along the same lines as Eric. They both intended to avoid disturbing each other's plans; Jason, being quite tactful, took Bella to the back rows to minimally disrupt their boss's activities.

Aurora's intentions were not focused on the wine, so to speak. She agreed to Eric primarily to get closer to Jason, but for some reason, Jason didn't provide her any chance to do so. Perhaps it was genuinely to avoid suspicion and prevent Bella from getting the wrong idea. Aurora wanted to initiate a conversation but found no opportunity.

Thus, was the evening wasted? Aurora felt a slight sense of loss as she was about to sit down when Irene plopped herself between her and Eric.

"Little Bunny, I'm terrified of horror movies; you'll have to protect me," Irene said, her face tense as she clutched Aurora's hand.

Nick, sitting alone, looked as if he could kill with his gaze. What on earth was this situation! He had exerted tremendous effort to invite Irene out, and now he couldn't even touch her hand!

He was frustrated, and so was Eric, whose scheming was no less intricate than Nick's, using Bella and Jason as shields. His intention was the same as Nick's-to use the horror movie to heat things up with Aurora. He believed that Aurora and Julian's relationship couldn't be that strong, considering they had only recently met.

He had meticulously planned for Aurora, and now Irene had unexpectedly thwarted his plans, potentially ruining the day's efforts.

Nick stared at Aurora, while Eric focused on Irene. Nick decisively moved next to Aurora, his gaze icy as he looked at Irene.
