Chapter 94 Nora Borrows Someone from Steven
Nora got up to grab some tissues and saw Steven standing in the hallway, deep in thought.
"Steven, what are you doing standing there?" He was wearing a thin trench coat, tall and slender, looking as handsome as a runway model.
"I'm thinking about whether I've forgotten to bring anything." He walked over and sat down next to Nora.
"We're having bread today." Nora handed him breakfast.
"Okay." Steven focused on eating.
Olivia asked as expected, "Steven, were those two guys last night both good friends of yours?"
Those two looked like they were from top-tier wealthy families, and Steven seemed completely at ease around them, not like a subordinate at all, but rather like someone with a special status.
Steven lifted his eyelids slightly, "We went to the same university, we were roommates, and we've always gotten along well."
Perfect excuse!
Olivia nodded, "Which university did you go to?"
Steven almost spit out his coffee. He was afraid that if he mentioned his university, Olivia might figure things out, so he swallowed the coffee in his mouth and asked back, "What about you two? Which university did you go to?"
This was a little trick - when someone asks about your privacy, asking a question back can break the situation.
"Nora and I both went to Southern University." Olivia answered with a smile, "So after graduation, we both stayed in South City to develop our careers."
"I see." Steven nodded, didn't answer his own question, and picked up his phone to read the news.
Olivia felt awkward asking again and started chatting with Nora instead.
After breakfast, Steven drove them to work.
Olivia sighed again, "Steven drives you to work every day before going to his company. He's really a rare good man."
Most men wouldn't drive their wives to and from work every day.
"Yes." Nora nodded with a smile and walked into Apex Technologies Corporation, chatting and laughing with Olivia.
However, today, Olivia's account was restricted!
When she logged onto her computer today, she couldn't see those inventory files anymore.
After thinking for a moment, Olivia knew it was Willie's doing because he bought the system, so his main account had the highest access level.
"He actually went this far." Olivia sneered and picked up her phone to call Willie.
Willie asked her to meet at the coffee shop downstairs to talk. He didn't want to make a scene at the company where everyone would know.
Olivia went out with him.
Nora glanced over, a bit worried.
Olivia said, "It's fine, you focus on your work, I'll be back soon."
Nora sat back down, and the internal phone rang. She picked it up.
"Nora, come to my office for a moment." It was Terry calling.
Nora raised her eyebrows, "Okay."
She wanted to see what this family was up to!
"Sit." As soon as she walked into the office, Terry pulled down the blinds.
Nora sat on the sofa.
Terry came over and slowly made coffee, "You know why I called you here, right?"
Nora glanced at him, "Just say what you want to say."
"Good, Nora is straightforward." Terry slapped his thigh and said, "You haven't forgotten that the store is under Willie's name, right?"
"And then?"
"Well, we want to take back that store now. After all, it's not yours, and you must feel uneasy holding onto it."
Nora laughed coldly, "What's there for me to feel uneasy about? Willie only gave me an empty account back then. The data and the store were all built up by me, bit by bit."
"But it's a product of Apex Technologies Corporation. Although the store was given to you to use, it was just for you to use. Now it's time to return it."
"I won't return it." Nora's attitude was firm. Why should she return to a store she built up herself?
"Fine, if you won't return it, we'll use legal entity rights to reclaim the store." Terry looked at her with a smile.
The legal entity did have this right.
Nora didn't register a company back then because she had just entered society, and Willie gave her a store, saying it was hers, and she believed him. Who knew he would go back on his word two years later?
So verbal agreements depend on a person's conscience. Once they go back on their word, you're screwed.
"Actually, Nora, it's not impossible to give you this store." Terry looked at her clean face and put his arm on her leg, "As long as you sleep with me once, I'll give you the store."
Nora calmly removed his hand, looked at him, and asked with a smile, "Can you make that decision?"
Terry didn't expect Nora to take the bait so easily. He smiled greasily and said, "Of course!"
"Alright then, set up a place for tonight." Nora's lips curved in a smile, as if she had accepted.
Terry stroked his chin, feeling something was off but couldn't figure out what. Usually, she would splash water on him just for touching her, so why was she so open today?
Was it true that for the sake of the store, she would do anything?
But thinking about Nora's face and figure, Terry got excited, "Okay, I'll book a restaurant and text you later."
"Okay."
Terry instructed her, "Don't tell anyone about this."
"I know." Nora smiled at him and left the office.
Terry smiled lewdly.
He planned to get Nora into bed tonight, then take some inappropriate photos to threaten Nora into handing over the store!
As soon as Nora returned to her seat, her face turned cold.
Amelia asked her, "What did that pervert call you into his office for?"
Terry was 40 years old this year, and all the female employees in the company knew he liked to grope people. They privately called him a pervert.
"Just called me in to grope me."
"What?" Amelia was shocked, "Nora, he didn't do anything to you, did he?"
"I'm fine."
"You need to be careful with him." Amelia warned her, "If he does anything to you, you must speak up, don't suffer in silence."
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid." Nora thought for a moment, opened Facebook to find Steven. She knew how to deal with Terry!
Nora: [Steven, can you do me a favor?]
Steven replied half an hour later.
Steven: [Just finished a meeting, go ahead.]
Nora felt warm inside seeing him explain what he was doing, and typed: [By the way, those bodyguards your boss has, can I borrow them?]
Steven: [Someone's bullying you?]
Nora: [Sort of, I want to borrow a few people from you.]
Steven: [How many do you need?]
Nora: [Four. Have them dress up as thugs tonight, then give me a phone number, and I'll contact them when the time comes.]
This Terry wasn't the first time he had groped people.
Nora had put up with him for a long time.
Tonight, she would make him pay, but she needed to do it discreetly to avoid legal trouble.
Steven: [Sure, but you need to tell me what you're planning to do.]
Nora briefly explained it to him on the computer.
After hearing it, Steven's whole face turned cold. Terry actually wanted to lay hands on his wife!
