Chapter 339

Before Wentworth could refuse, Victoria reached for his cup, but Wentworth was quick and stopped her with his hand.

"No need, I don't drink coffee."

"Then what do you like to drink, Mr. Gonzaga? Tea? My family grows tea too."

"Nothing, thanks. I prefer water."

Wentworth said and continued with his work.

Victoria left Wentworth's office feeling dejected and returned to her own office in the finance department.

She was a director in the finance department. After sitting down, she sent a message: [Mission failed.]

...

In the evening, Victoria got into a car and drove to a villa in the suburbs.

After getting out, she walked to the living room, made herself a cup of coffee, and sat down to drink it.

Soon after, a pot-bellied man in his fifties walked in. Seeing Victoria drinking coffee, he couldn't help but ask, "Drinking coffee this late? Aren't you worried you won't be able to sleep?"

Victoria replied, "You're the one who can't sleep. I can sleep fine no matter what I drink."

The man walked up to her, wrapped his arm around her slim waist, and kissed her behind the ear. "It's been a while since we had sex. Want to?"

"Sure, why not."

Victoria put down her coffee and started kissing Colin. The two fell onto the sofa.

Half an hour later, Victoria was still full of energy, but Colin was already done.

Yet Colin still thought he was amazing. "Look at me, aren't I still going strong?"

Victoria stayed silent.

"There aren't many men who are fifty and can still go at it like me."

Victoria stayed silent.

She forcibly suppressed the restless energy in her body, planning to go home and take care of it herself after he fell asleep.

Taking care of it herself would be much better than having sex with him anyway.

Colin lay on the sofa without putting his clothes back on. He asked, "Is there really no way to get to Wentworth?"

Victoria said, "Look at his wife - she's so beautiful. How can I compete with that?"

"Men all like variety. If you try hard enough, you can definitely seduce him. Are you not giving it your all? Or maybe he hasn't understood your hints? Are your hints not obvious enough?"

"How much more obvious do I need to be? This morning I even put my hand on his. It was way more obvious than when I seduced you, okay?" Victoria said unhappily.

Colin said angrily, "Keep at it. He just got here, so of course he's being careful. Once he's settled in at Department S, he'll let his guard down. Once we get dirt on him, it'll be easy to bring him down. Then I'll promote you to head of finance!"

Victoria asked, "If I seduce him and he gets brought down, will I come out of it clean?"

"Just insist that he forced you, won't that work?"

According to the original plan, she would go after Wentworth, then accuse him of sexual harassment. When the disciplinary committee investigated, Wentworth's reputation would definitely be damaged. As long as he couldn't survive at Department S, no one would be blocking Colin's path.

Victoria pursed her lips.

If Colin asked her to seduce anyone else, she absolutely wouldn't do it. But seducing Wentworth? She was willing.

If she really managed to hook him, she wouldn't be willing to frame Wentworth. She would latch onto Wentworth, this big tree, and then kick Colin, this old man, to the curb.

Wentworth was one level higher than Colin, and he was young, handsome, tall and strong. Which woman in the office wasn't attracted to him?

...

Because Colin wanted Victoria to seduce Wentworth, he kept arranging for Victoria from finance to assist Wentworth.

One day, Victoria went to Wentworth's office again to deliver documents.

"Mr. Gonzaga, here are the materials you requested," Victoria said.

Wentworth didn't look up. "Just leave them there."

Victoria didn't leave. She called out sweetly again, "Mr. Gonzaga."

Any other man hearing that voice would have melted.

Wentworth looked up at her, his gaze sharp.

That look made Victoria's heart skip a beat.

Then Wentworth pointed behind and above himself.

Victoria saw the small camera and gasped.

Wentworth actually had a camera installed in his office. Wasn't he worried about his privacy being leaked?

But looking more carefully, it seemed to be his own private installation, with data that only he could access.

This was too much - he wasn't giving her any chance to seduce him without evidence.

She laughed awkwardly. "Mr. Gonzaga, I wasn't planning to do anything to you."

"I didn't say you were planning to do anything to me," Wentworth said lightly.

Victoria felt deeply insulted.

She had been interested in Wentworth before, but now all she felt was hatred.

Why? Just because he had a wife who was a doctor? Why did he look down on her, Victoria? She was a civil servant, pretty too, the flower of Department S. Men wanting to date her could form a line from here to the train station.

If it weren't for the promotion, she would never have gotten involved with an old man like Colin.

...

After work.

Wentworth came to the parking lot.

He drove a Jeep. After years in the military, he'd always liked vehicles with rugged lines.

After getting in the car, he habitually turned on music.

He didn't have particular preferences in music - he listened to pop songs, classical music, rock, military songs, Japanese and Korean songs, and English songs too.

While listening to "The Tenderness in You," he drove out of the office parking lot.

Just as he was about to turn, there was a loud "bang." His car shook violently and nearly hit the flower bed ahead.

He'd been rear-ended!

Looking in the rearview mirror, he saw Victoria getting out of a red car. She rushed to Wentworth's car. His window was open, and she leaned on it, apologizing profusely. "Oh my God! Mr. Gonzaga, I was distracted and hit the gas instead of the brake. I accidentally hit your car. I'm so sorry. Why don't you get out and we can handle this together?"

Wentworth opened the car door and walked to the back to take a look.

His was a Jeep - the vehicle sat high and had a hard body. It was just dented a bit, while Victoria's red Toyota had its front completely smashed.

"Mr. Gonzaga, I'm really sorry. I'll definitely take full responsibility. How about we call the insurance company first?"

Wentworth frowned slightly, then took out his phone to call the insurance company. They quickly sent someone over, took photos, and uploaded them to the system.

Victoria added, "Mr. Gonzaga, your car probably needs to be taken to the dealership for damage assessment. How about I add you on WhatsApp, and when it's ready for assessment, I'll let you know. Then I'll pay for the repairs all at once."

Wentworth replied, "Okay."

That evening, Victoria added Wentworth through the internal group.

Seeing the friend request accepted, Victoria felt a surge of joy.

She would definitely get her chance.
