Victor was very handsome. He had beautiful features, impeccable facial features, and eyes that were as beautiful as stars. Every part of him radiated fascinating qualities.
This man was really something!
However...
When Victor brushed his long fingers across Sophia's cheek, she froze. She became stiff and couldn't move until he mischievously trailed along her fair neck...
Sophia breathed slightly, flustered and blushing. "Please behave!"
Victor laughed lightly, somewhat disdainful! This seemingly innocent woman was just being intimate with her boyfriend in the restaurant, and now she crashed into his embrace. She actually asked him to behave!
She was truly the most shameless woman he had ever met!
Victor looked at her mockingly, ice-cold and indifferent. As if the game was over, he felt bored and let go of her hand. "Tonight at six, accompany me to a banquet."
Ding, the elevator reached the 77th floor. The elevator doors opened, and the aloof man didn't even look at her before leaving.
Sophia was extremely confused. She caught up with him. "I don't even know you. Why should I accompany you to a banquet?"
"Because I'm your boss," he replied dominantly.
Sophia looked utterly shocked. She thought, 'So, this is Jessica's fiancé?'
'Oh my goodness!'
'So, I was just molested by Jessica's fiancé earlier?'
'What's going on?'
Sophia stood dumbstruck for several seconds before finally reacting. She felt incredulous. She thought, 'Although I ruined Jessica and Victor's engagement party, I didn't fundamentally offend him. Why do I feel like he knows me and dislikes me?'
Sophia shook her head. She thought she must be hallucinating. She did not have a habit of stealing someone else's man, let alone Jessica's!
Sophia ran into the elevator with a flushed face. She had been absent-minded all day. She had finally waited until the end of the work day. Sophia, who had already made plans with Liam, was stopped by David just as she was about to leave the company.
"Ms. Johnson, Mr. Hastings is already waiting for you. Please pack up your things and come with me," David said with a kind smile on his face.
Sophia lifted her beautiful eyebrows and decisively refused, "I'm not going."
"Ms. Johnson, as an employee of Aadelha Group, you have no reason to refuse. Besides..." he also beat up Victor. All he asked was for her to attend the dinner, which was actually quite lenient. If it were any other woman, they would have been cruelly tortured many times already!
"What else?" Sophia asked, puzzled.
David smiled and straightened his back to lead the way for her.
Sophia sat in the Bentley and unexpectedly found it spacious, with advanced equipment inside. Victor, sitting next to her, looked dignified. He hadn't said a word since Sophia got in the car. The atmosphere was so tense that she felt a little scared.
They arrived at a specialty store in the mall. The store manager had been waiting outside for a long time. When she saw the distinguished man approaching quickly, she instantly smiled brightly. "Mr. Hastings, the dress is ready."
"Change into it," Victor commanded coldly.
Sophia briefly showed a slightly noticeable expression of embarrassment. She bit her lip and took the dress into the fitting room. The dress was very revealing. The strapless design left Sophia's shoulders bare in the air. The upper half of the skirt was made of mesh fabric, revealing her body in a tantalizing way. Even her birthmark on her chest was clearly visible. It was ugly. She might as well be wearing nothing in this dress!
Sophia's face turned red. She had never seen this kind of dress before...
"Are you done changing?" Victor's impatient voice came from outside the fitting room.
Nervously, Sophia glanced at herself in the mirror. She hurriedly applied a thick layer of foundation on her birthmark. She said, "This dress is too revealing. I want to change... Ah! Why did you come in?"
She looked at Victor, who had entered the room, with a pale face. She hurriedly covered her chest and took a few steps back.
He didn't say anything. He reached out his strong, powerful arm and locked the fitting room door.
Sophia was shocked by Victor's actions. She stared at him in disbelief. As he walked towards her, she instinctively covered her dress with her hands.
Her hands were forcefully grabbed by him and pressed against the wall!
Sophia was so scared that she wanted to scream, but Victor's magnetic, sexy voice stopped her. "Don't scream."
Her voice got stuck in her throat. She blinked her clear, watery eyes, feeling extremely frightened.
Victor lowered his head, gazing at Sophia with a pitiful expression, his demeanor inscrutable. His fair and slender fingers irresistibly reached towards her gauzy dress.
The lighting was dim. Sophia's face instantly turned red. Just as she was about to scold him as a pervert, Victor suddenly withdrew his hand and released her. His gaze was chilly. "Wait."
He walked out. Soon enough, a normal dress was brought in by a store clerk.
It took Sophia a while to calm down. Her cheeks were flushed. When she emerged from the dressing room, Victor didn't look at her, but David kept staring at Sophia. He felt it was strange! He really wanted to know what had happened in the dressing room, but he was too embarrassed to ask!
By the time Sophia had changed her clothes and styled her hair, it was already past 8 p.m. The party had just begun.
The powerful and influential Victor immediately attracted a lot of attention when he arrived. People approached him one after another to greet him, but he merely nodded and passed them by. He was aloof, like a king. It wasn't until he reached a handsome man in a dark blue suit that he stopped.
This was Victor's business partner, Harry Roberts. Curiously, he teased, "Mr. Hastings, I've been waiting for you for so long. I thought I would have to wait until my hair turns white before you would attend my party."
"This is your gift." Victor's voice was cold and stern.
Only then did Harry notice the girl standing next to Victor. She was very innocent! Harry furrowed his eyebrows slightly and pointed at Sophia. "Her?"
Sophia was stunned, raising her head in disbelief, but she heard Victor heartlessly say, "Yes."
In an instant, a chill ran through Sophia's entire body. She even thought she had misheard!
Harry also thought that Victor was joking, and he chuckled wickedly, "Don't joke around. You've scared her. I'm not going to compete with you for a woman."
"I specifically brought her for you. You're welcome." Victor answered without hesitation.
Harry's smile froze on his face. He was very puzzled. He couldn't help but gaze at Sophia. She was good-looking, very innocent. She was the type that men would like. Her figure should also be well-endowed. She seemed to be a charismatic woman overall, but Harry always felt that Victor was acting strange today. After all, Victor had never given him a woman before!
Harry became suspicious. "What do you want?"
Victor said, "Give me the development rights of Grianwich. As a gesture of gratitude, I am giving this woman to you."
In business partnerships, the party that asks for favors usually prepares gifts. And Sophia was the gift that Victor had prepared!
