Steve was terrified. He never thought in a million years that the huge gift Javier had meant would turn out to be such a thing.Although the photo of him having a meal with a certain higher-up was not enough to prove anything, he had no idea what other things Javier’s huge gift contained, which was the point that terrified him the most.After successfully gaining Steve’s attention, Javier packed up his things and was about to leave.Of course, there was no way Steven would allow Javier to walk away, so he hurriedly stood up to stop him.“Hang on, my friend, please. That’s a rather wonderful gift you’ve got there. May I see it first?”Javier smiled and said, “What’s the matter, Mr. Collings? Are you interested in my gift now? You didn’t seem to think much about it just now, though!”Steven smiled in embarrassment, seeming especially apologetic. “I didn’t realize your gift would pack such a huge punch.”Javier continued. “So, you want to know if there’s anything that packs an even
Steve had been on the phone for a very long time, trying to show his sincerity.However, Javier did not seem to be the least bit interested in his invitation. After all, he knew exactly what Steve was up to, so he rejected his invitation.Evidently, he would not allow Steven to have that honor of buying him a meal. Why should he anyway?After hanging up the phone, Javier sat in his car and immediately returned to the research center.In the end, the moment he met up with Suzanne and told her that the patent’s application was about to be completed, the latter suddenly complained to him about something. “Although my subordinates haven’t made any extra requests, don’t you think it isn’t appropriate for them to live together in the same quarters?”Javier was confused as to what was happening. It was not until Suzanne explained everything that he realized they did not have suitable accommodations for the researchers. Doug had arranged for them to live in their company accommodations,
Javier left Suzanne’s research center and ordered Herschel to look into the thing that was bothering Suzanne.He still had the same thought as before. ‘Once I find out what it is that’s bothering her and resolve it, I’m sure everything will be alright.’After sending Herschel away, Javier drove himself to a nearby hotel that seemed to be garden-themed, Hotel Garcia.Hotel Garcia may have a rather elegant name, but it was a hotel with a much more beautiful environment.Javier had been there once in the past and was rather satisfied with what he saw.He was there to have a chat with the owner of the hotel, intending to see whether he could rent his rooms long-term, three months, at the very least.He believed that Doug’s construction would be more or less done after three months, and they could even rent a little longer if required. The researchers under Suzanne were all precious babies to Javier, geese that laid golden eggs. Thus, he wanted to make sure they were well-served.H
Javier had never heard of the name Audrey Mendez before, but he had heard of a person called Audrey Bitoni.Audrey Bitoni is a p*rnstar ranked somewhere around the top 100 in the world.Javier sniffed his palm after shaking Audrey’s hand and said, “Yup, you’re quite fragrant like your name.”Audrey was startled for a moment but quickly revealed a smile.Javier had just teased her, and other ordinary women would probably be feeling frustrated at that moment, if not furious.However, Audrey felt no such thing. After all, she had been running the hotel for a long time, so it was only natural for her to have come across all kinds of people. She had even heard vulgar words in the past, so Javier’s words meant nothing to her.Instead, she smiled and asked, “How many rooms would you like to book, Mr. Kersey? What sort of requirements do you have?”Since they were now discussing business, Javier recollected his flirty emotions and put on a serious expression. “Let’s begin from your best
At that moment, Audrey was so embarrassed that she began to panic. She originally thought that Javier was a major customer, which was true. However, he was a relentless *sshole with no boundaries.Aside from the fact that he had forcefully flirted with her, he was now even trying to force her into…that!Audrey had already decided she would rather not have his business than have her honor tarnished.However, right at that moment, there were a few knocks on her door, which were rather rough.The moment Javier turned around to take a look, Audrey was able to grab that opportunity and escape, hurrying over to face her desk, even pulling open a drawer.Inside the drawer was a can of pepper spray.She thought that she would spray it onto Javier’s eyes if needed.However, the person knocking on her door suddenly stopped and forced his way inside instead.Audrey’s office door was clearly unlocked, so it was a wonder why whoever was behind would choose to knock on it rather than enter
Jordan started yelling at Audrey when she was still apologizing.Moreover, he was saying disgraceful and vulgar things. It was difficult for anyone to listen to what he said.Audrey was completely humiliated. If Jordan were her biological son, she would have taken off her heels and slapped him across his mouth.However, Jordan was her stepson, not her biological son. She could only hold it in. Being a stepmother was certainly no easy task.Javier looked at Audrey, then at Jordan, and asked in surprise, "Stepson?"Audrey hummed with embarrassment, but Jordan, next to her, yelled, "Stepson, my foot! She seduced my dad. I’ve never accepted her!"When Javier heard this, he completely understood why Jordan suddenly got so irritable when they were by the lake.The stepmother and stepson had their disagreements. Or, to be more precise, the stepson did not like his stepmother.Audrey seemed like a good stepmother, however.While pondering, Audrey spoke up again. "Mr. Kersey, please le
Through Audrey's narrative, Javier had a brief idea of what had happened.Audrey came from a poor family. When she was in high school, she received financial support from Jordan's father. She had managed to graduate from high school and go to university after that.She and Jordan's father simply had a beneficiary and benefactor relationship during that time, nothing more.Jordan's mother knew about it, and so did Jordan because Audrey had been a guest at his house at that time.However, Jordan's mother died of illness. Audrey happened to be studying at a university in this city, so since Jordan was still young at that time, she would sometimes visit and take care of him, which was also her way of thanking Jordan's parents.But humans were emotional creatures after all. After a long time, one thing led to the other, and Jordan's father and Audrey started developing feelings for each other.When they got together a few years later, Jordan, who was ten years old at the time, suddenl
Javier was determined to sleep with Audrey, but clearly, things would often not go as planned.When he was about to touch Audrey's body, a sharp paper cutter was suddenly pressed against his neck.Javier raised his eyes to look at Audrey, but at that moment, her eyes were filled with fear as she held the sharp blade in her hand."Don't force me. If you keep pushing me, I might cut your neck, and you’re going to die. The paper cutter of my blade is new!"Javier chuckled. "The paper cutter is in your hand, so I should be afraid instead. Why are you so nervous that you even inverted your words?"Audrey was certainly nervous. From the looks of it, it was evident she still had not realized what she said earlier was inverted.But it did not matter anymore. What mattered was that her hands began to tremble, so she deliberately kept a little distance from his neck, afraid that she might cut him.Javier asked her, "How will you threaten me when you have the paper cutter so far away from
