Leila’s accusation was so loud that the coworkers in the office outside could hear her. This angered Sofia that her rage could barely diminish even when Leila was driven out of the company.Leila, who had packed her personal belongings, glared at Javier when she passed by. “Just you wait. I won’t make life easy for you…”Javier was nonchalant about Leila’s pre-departure threat. He had dared plot against Raiders, so what was a mere Leila to him?Flipping through the company information, Javier did his best to understand the overall operation of Maple Court. It was his daily routine now, as each second and minute of his free time was used to understand these as soon as he could.It was boring, but it was necessary in order to climb to a sufficient height within the shortest time possible.Sofia had been a little upset about Javier due to what happened with Leila since she was accused for no reason because of him. However, she was significantly less disgruntled when she saw how dilig
After carrying Sofia back home and settling her down, Javier washed, returned to his bedroom, and turned in for the night after going through some files.He had no idea how long he had been asleep when a shrill screech came from the outside suddenly and woke him up.He hurried out of his room only to see Sofia sitting on the couch in a daze as she scanned her surroundings anxiously. She seemed even more nervous when she saw Javier.“Y-You…Why am I here? What did you do to me!?”Javier was rendered speechless. “You got drunk, and I wanted to send you back but couldn’t get a cab, so I brought you to my place. As for what I did to you…If I had really done something, you wouldn’t not feel it?”Sofia blushed the moment Javier retorted with his question, but she looked much more relaxed after that. Obviously, she must not have felt different, and that alone was enough to prove that Javier had not done anything to her.After sitting around for a moment, she asked awkwardly, “Uh, do you
Every employee in the sales office was waiting for the VIP client to walk in except Javier, who was still doing what he usually did. He was either reading up or calling clients to follow up, seemingly uncaring of the matter.His coworker advised him, “Aren’t you silly? We’re all doing our best to receive the client!”Javier smiled nonchalantly, and his coworker gave up upon seeing he was unable to get to Javier.Since they had caught wind of the VIP client’s visit, everyone looked anxious when the office door opened. It was not just the salespeople outside. Even Sofia glanced out of her office occasionally, anticipating the client.Despite that, it was like the client had no idea of their sales office as there was no sight of them. From morning to afternoon, the office did not get any new visitors other than the regular clients they would have.Even with these regular clients, the employees were disinterested in serving them and looked sluggish. Some had even offered the clients t
The discount for 68 units was not something Sofia could decide as a sales manager. After all, they were not an authorized agent but a direct sales company under Maple Court. Once she talked to the company and confirmed the details, they did not have to sign the contract either, as it would be signed directly by the higher-ups in the company.The sales belonged to them, and there was no doubt about it. The achievement and commission were theirs as well.That night, Sofia wanted to treat everyone again happily, but no one wanted to go as they were not in a good mood. After all, they had waited the whole day fantasizing about hitting the jackpot only to find that dream crushed.Javier did not want to join either, but Sofia had forced him to, unrelenting even when he said no. She was getting more curious about Javier now. She had been under the impression that he was timid back when she had just come to the sales office, but she realized Javier was not meek after spending this period of
To break the awkwardness, Sofia took the initiative to start a topic of conversation.“Javier, where’s your girlfriend? I didn’t see her here the last time either.”Sofia’s mention made Javier think of Jade, Chessie, Ciara, Lilith…He thought of many women—and he would fully indulge himself whoever was there with him right now.He could only answer glumly, “Not here, located elsewhere.”Sofia made an “oh” sound and replied casually, “My husband too. He’s working somewhere else.”When she said that and realized that Javier was looking up at her, she was immediately aware of the issue with what she said and quickly added with a flushed face, “I don’t mean it like that. I-I…”Sofia was at a loss. She really did not mean it that way, but once the words left her lips, it sounded like both of them could do whatever they wanted since Javier’s girlfriend and her husband were not around.Fortunately, Javier smiled and did not comment on it. It calmed down Sofia a little and made her less
It was undeniable that Maple Court, as the largest urbanized housing developer in the nation, was incredibly efficient. If it had been other companies, the election of a sales office manager would have to go through meetings and discussions. This was not the case with Maple Court. They discussed transferring Sofia to the marketing office in the morning and sent out the notice the same afternoon.Everyone in the office was happy for Sofia upon learning that she would be transferred to the marketing office and could not help the envy dripping off their gazes. It was apparent. She had only been the sales office manager for less than a month and was promoted again. There was no way it would not garner envy.There was someone who was happy without any sense of envy, too—Leila, who came around when they were about to finish work.“What’s that? I heard that Ms. Jenner’s promoted tomorrow onward? Congratulations!”Leila congratulated her, but there was no sense of sincerity in it. She then
In the end, Javier did not lay a finger on Sofia and merely adjusted the temperature warmer. It was not that he had no ulterior thoughts about her. Quite the contrary, he was feeling the urge very much right now.However, the consequences of sleeping with a drunk woman were troublesome. If it were not reported to the police, he would have to provide various explanations and coax and sort out the relationship. If it were reported to the police, it would be much simpler since the busy party would be the police, as he only had to be put behind bars.Although both methods would not actually cause Javier practical troubles, they would still waste a lot of time—and he was pressed for time, hoping he could split a day into two. He could not afford to spend time on such triviality, so he could only forbear it with his willpower.He managed to withstand it, but the night was a long one. As he tossed and turned in bed, all he could think of was Sofia…Javier woke up the next morning—woken up
The reality proved that Sofia had overthought. Javier and Tucker were both gentlemen at the table. No one forced her to drink.It was just that Javier drank quite a lot and was rather tipsy tonight since he did not have a high alcohol tolerance to begin with, and had no more medication in his pocket to help him now.Tucker was also tipsy and found a driver to drive him back.Sofia took the initiative to send Javier home since he had taken care of her so many times. She was worried about his safety. Fortunately for her, she had peace of mind as Javier was unlike her, who threw up everywhere when she was drunk.When she helped Javier to bed and was about to leave to fetch him some water, he hugged her. Sofia had a great figure, but she was on the petite side, so she was pinned against the bed directly, unable to fight against Javier’s powerful pull.In the next instant, Javier pushed his head forward and kissed her cherry lips fiercely. Sofia could not even reject him when he was pr
