That woman saw that Horace didn’t become angered, so she tried her luck to flatter him, “I won’t apologize, Horace. I can’t do that.”
“Apologize now!” Horace suddenly roared.
That woman shuddered slightly as she realized her own brashness. She bowed down towards Selina and said, “Sorry.”
Selina lifted the corners of her mouth as she shot a glance at Horace. “I don’t care how much fun you are having out there, but you need to choose properly the quality of the women you associate with. This woman of such calibre will only make you lose face in the future.”
Then, Selina turned around and disappeared into the suite.
The woman glared vehemently at Selina before sucking up to Horace once again, “Horace, my legs are so painful. I don’t care, you need to avenge me.”
Horace took a step back and there was a flash of disdain underneath his eyes.
However, when he recalled Selina’s demeanour just now, he was suddenly filled with more anger.
She was just another woman. She thought that she could be supreme over him just because she had been working for a few days?
“Horace…”
“I will!” Horace barked under his breath, which caused that woman to hook her arms around Horace’s, “I always know that you treat me the best.”
Upon hearing that, Horace let out a cold laugh, “Is that so? Then would you listen to everything I say?”
“Of course I would listen to you. I am willing to do whatever you ask me to do!”
“Then I want you to get lost now!” Horace uttered these words as if they were the most natural words in the world. The woman froze for a second before forming a smile, “What are you talking about?”
“Get lost!” Now, he finally roared.
That woman felt a shiver running through her, but she didn’t let go of her hands yet. Horace was at the limits of his patience as he pushed her aside and exited the club.
…
The next morning, due to spending the whole night staying awake, Selina felt a painful throbbing in her head.
Her assistant delivered a coffee into the room and said with a smile, “Ms. Jones, we have closed the business deal from last night. Moreover, we have another major client waiting for us in the afternoon in the Russell Hotel.
“Which client are you talking about?” Selina was doubtful.
“Oh! He used to be our client in the previous company, but it has been two years since he last cooperated with us. Now that he is at our doorstep, if we can secure his deal too, it would be a huge profit on our side.”
If that was the case, there was no reason for her to not see that client.
In the afternoon, just as the two of them had just reached the entrance of the company, her assistant received a phone call.
“Ms. Jones, the client from last night just told us that there are some complications about the deal we sealed last night. They want us to go there to fix it. What should we do with this client here?”
Selina knitted her brows, “Then you shall go in my stead. I will meet this client myself.”
“This…” Her assistant was hesitant, “Will it be fine?”
“Don’t worry! We are in broad daylight and in a public venue. What is there to worry about? Go, make sure everything is resolved.”
Her assistant accepted her task and left.
Selina then got into her car and headed towards the Russell Hotel.
After entering a suite, Selina discovered that the other party also came alone. A faint whiff of suspicion took shape in her heart.
Nevertheless, he did look harmless, putting aside the fact that he didn’t have great taste in choosing his clothes. His clothes were practically shining with abnormal lustre. Of course, this had nothing to do with their business appointment.
Selina took out her documents and started to do a presentation on her business deal. “Mr. Herman, the properties owned by our company…”
“You don’t need to be hasty!” That man named Mr. Herman smiled, “You have to come all the way here just to meet me, Ms. Jones. You haven’t even taken a sip of water.”
Selina just wanted to get this over with as soon as possible, so she accepted his offer for a drink immediately and took a sip. Then, she continued, “This piece of land is situated just beside the Russell River, so it is a posh place…”
When she reached this part, all of a sudden, she was overcome with nausea.
“What’s wrong?” Mr. Herman asked.
Selina shook her head, and she started to feel her body heat up for no apparent reason.
Seeing that she had transitioned into such a state, Mr. Herman suddenly produced a lecherous smile, “Are you feeling hot and powerless?”
Selina felt a shudder in her heart as she stared at the cup of drink she had just emptied, “What have you done to this drink?”
