Chapter 86 Be nice to her
She walked past Victoria on purpose, brushing against her. Yesenia looked at Victoria with disdain, then admiration. "Victoria, you're so amazing. You did so well in front of President Duncan. If it were me, I would have been scared out of my wits if I were called on." Victoria was taken aback and felt guilty. "Actually, when I looked at him, I told myself that he was just a stone, so I wasn't so nervous." Victoria met with him every day, so she was naturally not nervous. But she couldn't say that to Yesenia. Meanwhile, Quiana called Erica and deliberately told her about the incident. Erica was very angry. Victoria went to Huan Yu and met with Brandon. This was her chance. At this moment, Dylan walked in. She quickly hung up the phone and looked at Dylan with red eyes. "Dylan, you're here. I've been waiting for you for a long time." She came to the Lu family company on purpose and waited for him at the door for a few hours. Dylan hesitated. "What are you doing here?" He still cared about Erica when he saw her now and just wanted to calm down for a few days. Erica hugged Dylan and cried, "I was wrong. I really was. But my dad forced me to get this project. He said that otherwise, the Griffin Family would be even worse off. The Griffin Family is already in a bad state. If we don't get this project, I really don't know what will happen. I'm scared, so I had to agree to my dad. After all, I just came back from outside. I'm afraid that if I don't agree, my dad will think that I'm not close enough to him. I don't want to disappoint them."
Looking at Erica's tearful face, Dylan softened.
Erica continued, "Are you going to ignore me from now on? I know you might hate me for this, but I can't bear it without explaining to you. Okay, you can continue working now. Remember to eat well. I gave the stomach medicine to Secretary Chen. If you have a stomachache, remember to take it. Don't stay up too late at night without me taking care of you..."
After speaking, she seemed to have made up her mind and turned to run away.
"Erica." He quickly hugged her. "Don't be like this. I didn't say I won't talk to you."
Erica turned around, looking at him with surprise and hugged Dylan movedly.
But in a place where he couldn't see, she showed a face of resentment.
Damn Victoria, it's all your fault. Victoria left the company.
Elijah walked into the office.
"Sir, Miss has left."
"Don't call her Miss."
"..."
Elijah was speechless. He had just gotten used to calling her Miss, and now what?
At this moment, Gu Zhanqing walked in. "I heard that you went to see Victoria for a report."
Brandon frowned, "Why are you so free? What are you doing here?"
Grayson had a smile on his face, "Are you interested in her? But if you like her, you should tell her. Why do you always do good things behind her back and leave me with a good reputation? Aren't you afraid...that she falls in love with me?"
Brandon looked at him with a gloomy expression. "Don't have any ideas about her."
Grayson laughed. "See, you care so much, why pretend?"
Brandon's lips moved.
"She has someone she likes."
"Ah? Who?"
"Not someone else, her ex-boyfriend."
"Ah, ex-boyfriend? That's all in the past. If he's an ex, it means it's over. You treat her well now, and she'll eventually like you."
"That's impossible. She's willing to give up her life for her ex-boyfriend."
She's even willing to have his child.
With his threat, she still insisted on keeping the child. Isn't that risking her life?
"Then you should treat her even better, influence her, let her see that you're much better than her ex-boyfriend. Use your goodness to compare with his badness."
Brandon's brow furrowed deeply.
Grayson seemed to have noticed something. "You're not going to get angry with her, are you?"
Looking at Brandon's noncommittal expression, Grayson slapped his thigh. "Ah, I knew it. You're always so awkward. If you get angry with her, won't she think you're worse than her ex-boyfriend? You're just pushing her further away. When she's gone for good, you'll regret it."
Brandon's mind was in turmoil. "Okay, shut up. Just mind your own business."
Brandon quickly walked out and stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking outside.
Should he treat her well?
If he treated her well, would she be willing to abort the illegitimate child?
He could allow her to have other men, but he would never allow others to raise his child.
Returning to the office, he said to Elijah beside him, "Book a restaurant and tell Victoria."
Elijah was thrilled to hear this.
"That's right, President Duncan. After all, the two of them see each other every day. Their relationship needs to be eased. I'll go tell Madam now."
When Victoria returned to the villa, she saw Elijah walking out with a smile and saying to her, "Madam, the master wants to invite you to dinner."
"Invite me? Why?" She stepped back warily.
Elijah quickly explained, "The master thinks he scared you these past few days and wants to apologize to you. Here's a dress. The address is Moonflower Western Restaurant."
Moonflower?
Victoria had heard of it.
It seemed to be the best place for couples to date because it was located in the tallest building in the city and offered a beautiful view of the entire city at night.
Of course, it was also very romantic, so it was difficult to get a table.
Brandon actually booked that place?
That was the holy land of romantic dates for couples. Did he think they could go there?
"Is he going to ask her out?" Victoria's face turned red involuntarily. She glanced at the beautiful dress beside her and felt a slight longing in her heart. Just as she was about to leave, she received a call from Heidi.
"Something's wrong, Victoria. Felix is in trouble. He's been taken away by someone," Heidi said in a panicked voice.
"What?" Victoria was stunned. "What do you mean he's been taken away?"
"I don't know. There were a lot of thugs who took him away. I'm so scared. They're so fierce. Will they kill him?" Heidi started crying.
Hearing this, Victoria immediately picked up her dress and rushed out. "I'm coming to find you. Don't cry."
She hailed a taxi and headed straight to the place Heidi mentioned. Meanwhile, Elijah returned to the villa to pick up Victoria, but he couldn't find her. He felt strange that she had put on the dress but was nowhere to be seen. What could it mean?
He hurried to the dining room, which was newly decorated. Brandon was sitting inside, dressed in black, lost in thought. When he heard the sound, he looked up and saw Elijah walking in alone. His gaze froze, and a coldness slowly emerged.
"Victoria isn't coming?"
