In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection Chapter 422
"X Corp. doesn't seem to be an agency, Mr. Carlson. Could it be that you plan to expand your business just because of me?" Compared to Cedric's intidating aura, Charlie did not pale much. He smiled and took off his sunglasses, his arrogant gaze now filled with mockery.Cedric finally set down his utensils, his gaze gradually turning colder. "State your conditions, as long as you agree to sign with Paramount Inc."Cedric could not care less which company Charlie would sign with, but he did not want to see Sophie troubled by this matter."Aah, so it's for Paramount. Mr. Carlson, you're really assertive when it comes to spending for your beloved, huh? But I'd advise you to think carefully. Are you really letting me dictate the terms?" Charlie asked playfully.His provocative tone displeased Cedric, causing him to frown, and his cold voice carried an unquestionable dominance. "I'll leave that to you."Anticipating this response, Charlie couldn't help but sneer. He lifted the warm glas

Cedric glanced at the open bottles of whisky on the table, his cold gaze shot toward Charlie across from him.The waitress was already trembling with fear, yet she could only force herself to fill Cedric's glass to the brim.Lifting the glass, he downed it in one gulp. The hard liquor burned his esophagus and stomach lining like fire, but what was even more uncomfortable was his lungs. He struggled to suppress the urge to cough and signaled with his eyes for the waitress to continue pouring.One glass after another, one bottle after another, three bottles of whisky were emptied into his stomach within just a few minutes.Cedric's expression remained unchanged, but the chill in his eyes had already terrified the waitress to the point where her face paled. 'This is bad, Charlie has offended Mr. Carlson. Will I still see him after this?'Charlie fearlessly met his gaze, frowning only briefly. He then stood up. "Mr. Carlson, you do have an excellent tolerance for alcohol, and you must

Jeanna teasingly brought up the incident with the white roses from before, earning Sophie's disdainful eye-roll, who was feeling slightly puzzled.'I haven't heard of any business X Corp. has in Gallia, so why would he suddenly go on a business trip there?'-At the hospital, Cedric laid in the ICU, his complexion though still jaundiced, looked much better than the ashen look he had when admitted.Sean, sitting beside him with his legs crossed, wore a miserable expression as he peeled an apple and complained, "Why am I so unlucky? You decide to compete in a drinking contest with a minor celebrity, and now I'm stuck here at the hospital playing the role of a part-time caretaker. I'm the infamous Mr. Cheshire, for goodness' sake! Can't you hire a professional nurse instead of dragging me into this? I'm missing out on precious time Jean because of you!""Evander is busy overseeing the renovation of my office and handling some matters for X Corp., so he can't come," Cedric explained,

This was the part Sean could not afford to lose the most—not only for himself but also for his precious Jean. How could he let anyone harm it?Just as they were joking around, Dr. Zegler walked in.Sean immediately adjusted his frivolous demeanor. "Dr. Zegler, can Cedric be discharged already?""You young folks are always acting so recklessly," Dr. Zegler said with a slightly reproachful tone. He then turned to look at Cedric lying on the hospital bed. "Mr. Carlson, as your attending physician, I have the responsibility to remind you that your body needs time to recuperate. If something like this happens again, it might leave behind a chronic illness for the rest of your life."When one was still young, one could tough it out with some medication when illness struck. But as one aged, one would understand how foolish it was not to care for the body.Knowing that Dr. Zegler was looking out for his well-being, Cedric replied, "I'll try my best to avoid any recurrence.""That's good.

"What else did his assistant say?" Sophie asked.Despite feeling something was off, Sophie smiled. 'As long as I get to sign Charlie, I can finally get rid of the weight that has been bothering me these past few days.'"She said to meet three days later at 3:00 p.m. at the same cafe as last time. We'll have to get the contract ready, and he'll sign it there." Linda put the details forward. "Ms. Luxford, what do you think Charlie is thinking?"Even though the time and venue had been set, Linda still felt like she was dreaming, finding it somewhat surreal."Why bother what he's thinking? As long as he agrees to sign the contract." Sophie suddenly felt energized and motivated but could not help but glance at the empty office next to hers. Somehow, after striving for this result for so long, the first person she wanted to share this news with was him.'It's a pity he's not here.'With her thoughts collected, a faint sparkle glimmered in her eyes. "Prepare for the signing, and make su

"You should take a closer look. This contract has been carefully revised after our last discussion, and it's much more favorable to you than the previous version.""Revised? But I promised Mr. Carls—" Before the last name Carlson could fully be uttered, Charlie seemed to realize something and quickly shut his mouth.However, Sophie had already heard it, and her previously relaxed brows immediately furrowed.With just the mention of the last name Carlson, she could roughly guess whom Charlie was referring to. "Have you met Cedric before? What did he say to you?""Mrs. Carlson, now that the contract has been signed, I'm your company's employee. I'll do my best to answer your questions, but only to a certain extent. Before you signed me, you must've seen plenty of information about me and heard about what a difficult artist I can be. So, please bear with me in the future."It was clear that the question was beyond the extent Charlie was willing to answer. After saying that, he stood

"I don't know if Sophie is happy or not, but I'm certainly not happy. If there's another task like this in the future, go to Evander instead of me. You're making me feel like a servant serving a king," Sean complained."How could you possibly be a servant?" Cedric's denial instantly eased Sean's discontent. However, before he could say anything else, Cedric smirked and added, "You'd be more like the Chief Servant. So, tell me, which restaurant is more suitable for me and Soph?""The one on Surpital Ro—" Sean uttered smoothly, about to recommend a restaurant he thought was quite good, but his brain caught up almost immediately. "Fuck you! The Chief Servant is still a servant!"-During rush hour, traffic congestion was inevitable. What should have been a ten-minute journey took a full half-hour to reach the destination.Before the car could even come to a stop, the valet had approached. As soon as the opportunity arose, he promptly opened the door for Sophie with a pleasing smile.

Cedric had always admired her hard work, but he felt even more concerned about her. If he had not intervened, who knew how much longer Charlie would continue to play hard to get?Listening to him admit to meeting Charlie, Sophie could not help but let off a self-deprecating smile. "So, you turned to coercion and inducement to make him agree to sign with Paramount Inc.?" She had been so presumptuous to think she could discern what kind of person Charlie was. "I thought Charlie signed with Paramount because of the company's strength, but it turns out it was because of your help.""Soph, you wanted to sign Charlie, and now you have. Isn't that great? What does it matter if I helped a little?" Cedric felt uneasy due to the change in her expression and reached out to grab her shoulder.However, she shrugged off his hand, igniting the simmering anger within her. "Yes, it's done, but Cedric Carlson, it wasn't me who did it. I thought you were making an effort to understand me, but now I
