Charlotte opened the car door, wanting to step out, but Quentin grabbed her hand, “Wait!”
“What’s up?”
Charlotte asked with wide beautiful eyes.
“I’ve set something up for you.” Quentin chuckled as he took her phone and set his number as an emergency dial, “Alright, I’ll be waiting outside for you.”
He ruffled Charlotte’s hair gently, smiling, “I’ve got your room number memorized. If anything happens, remember to call me first thing.”
Seeing the caring and gentle man in front of her, Charlotte felt a warmth in her heart.
“Alright. Don’t worry, with so many people around, nothing will happen.” Charlotte smiled, “Besides, he wouldn’t dare to do anything to me in public, right?”
Quentin pinched her cheek, “You never know, being so good-looking, you’re coveted by many men. I have to protect you carefully.”
Charlotte blushed, “Pfft! I’m not your wife yet, stop calling me that.”
“I’ll head up first-” she got out of the car, waved goodbye to Quentin, then closed the car door.
Quentin watched her walk into the KTV.
Leaning back in his seat, he lit a cigarette, took a puff, furrowed his brow, then also got out of the car and walked in…
The KTV was bustling inside.
The lighting was dim.
There was a sense of ambiguity.
Some young men and women were even kissing in the corner…
This made Quentin shake his head slightly.
He found a quiet corner and sat down, tapping the cigarette ash rhythmically on the ground…
Following the address Jonathan provided, Charlotte walked into the private room. As soon as she entered, she saw a middle-aged fat man in a pink suit with slicked-back hair sitting there.
She subtly furrowed her brows but still showed a polite smile, “Mr. Delaney, hello, I’m Charlotte, nice to meet you.”
At the sight of Charlotte, Jonathan couldn’t take his eyes off her, his eyes sizing her up with unmistakable desire.
“Hello, hello!”
He quickly stood up, walked over to Charlotte, and took her fair hands in his, “Seeing is believing! Miss Pittman, you are the most beautiful and elegant woman I’ve ever seen!”
Charlotte looked embarrassed and politely smiled, “Mr. Delaney, you’re too kind.”
She discreetly withdrew her hand and wiped it a few times.
Jonathan chuckled, “I’m sorry, I kind of… lost my composure there. Miss Pittman, please, have a seat!”
He deliberately put on a gentlemanly facade, but gave off a feeling of being insincere, somewhat comical, and Charlotte struggled to hold back her laughter.
Since they entered the room, Jonathan’s gaze hadn’t left Charlotte’s face, making her extremely uncomfortable. She coughed lightly and began, “Mr. Delaney, my grandfather sent me here to negotiate some business matters-”
“Let’s not talk about that right now. Let’s have a drink first!”
“Let’s have fun first!”
“Mr. Delaney, I’m bad at drinking…”
Jonathan’s expression slightly darkened as he said, “Miss Pittman, that won’t do in business. How can you do business without drinking?”
“If you show me no respect, how can I do business with you?”
He lifted his glass and coldly said, “I’ll drink it, and you can do as you please!”
With that, he drained the glass in one go.
Then, his gaze locked firmly onto Charlotte.
Charlotte bit her red lip, thinking that Quentin was still outside the KTV, so it should be fine, and she said, “Of course, Mr. Delaney, I’ll give you that respect.”
“But, Mr. Delaney, I really can’t drink much. I’ll raise this glass to you.”
She lifted the glass and slowly drank the contents.
The burning sensation filled her mouth, making her very uncomfortable.
“That’s more like it!” Jonathan watched her drink, revealing a meaningful smile. “Miss Pittman, you’re truly straightforward.”
Charlotte’s cheeks gradually reddened. “So, Mr. Delaney, can we discuss the cooperation now?”
She produced the contract.
Jonathan chuckled and said, “No rush, let’s sing a few songs first. Let’s put business aside for now.”
With that, he set the contract aside and casually reached out for Charlotte.
Charlotte’s body immediately flinched, and she promptly avoided him, her voice cold, “Mr. Delaney, please control yourself!”
Jonathan smirked, “What’s with the pretense of purity? Your grandfather told me, as long as I’m satisfied, the deal will be done.”
“Damn it! I was even thinking of setting a romantic mood with you! But you, you’re putting on an act for me?”
“Today, I’m here for some excitement!” He took off his coat and dropped it on the side, leering at Charlotte. Then, he suddenly lunged at her!
Charlotte’s face turned pale, and she moved away immediately.
“Still running?” Jonathan lost patience, grabbed Charlotte and said, “I like a fiery woman like you, conquering you is stimulating!”
In a panic, Charlotte slapped him hard. It was a powerful slap that sent Jonathan reeling onto the sofa, holding his face and screaming in pain!
Seizing the opportunity, Charlotte grabbed her bag and hurried towards the door, only to find it locked from the outside, and she couldn’t open it no matter how hard she tried!
In an instant, her face turned incredibly pale!
“You…!”
Jonathan, who had been slapped, stood up from the sofa, suddenly looking fierce, “Trying to escape? Try and see if you can escape again!”
“Truth be told, I put something in that drink earlier, and the door has been locked from the outside. You won’t be able to escape! Today, I’m going to have my way with you right here! Let’s see how you act like a virtuous woman later!”
As Jonathan advanced step by step, Charlotte’s face turned ashen. In her panic, she grabbed her phone and pressed the emergency call button…
Jonathan’s face twisted into a sinister expression as he pounced and grabbed Charlotte!
