The Woman From Hell

Chapter 1024

Cally smiled slightly. "You're very good at talking, Ms. Lane."

She continued after a pause, "Thanks for the compliment. I'll be making a move first."

After saying that, she grabbed her bag and left in a hurry.

She was an independent woman in the business field and a dedicated mother at home. She did a great job

playing out her roles and was worthy of admiration.

| planned to pack my things and get off work. Just as | was almost done packing, a man in a black suit appeared

at the door. It was none other than my superior, Jordan Fredericks.

| asked with a smile, "How can | help you, Mr. Fredericks?"

It was after working hours now, and usually, he would look forat this hour for non-work-related things.

Sure enough, he said, "Shannon invited us for a meal. Let's go there together."

| was astounded. "She invited you?"

Jordan pursed his lips. "Os."

Shannon was truly bold to directly invite Jordan, and | was genuinely impressed.

Jordan took out the car keys from his trouser pocket and said indifferently, "Let's go."

| nodded. "Okay."

After leaving the company and getting into the car, | suddenly wondered in hindsight why Shannon would have

his phone number.

| looked at Jordan and asked, "When did Shannon get your phone number?"

Jordan smiled slightly. "She asked for mine when you were exchanging numbers in the airport."

UH

What a professional.

Jordan stopped at the red light.

It was too quiet when neither of us spoke on the road, s o | took the initiative to start a conversation. "Has Ms.

Lally been with you for many years?"

He looked atsideways and said faintly, "She worked for my grandpa last tand is a really capable worker.

My grandpa later sent her to work for _n

me.

| nodded. "She's indeed pretty good at her job."

| had been familiarizing myself with work with Lally's help these days. | realized that she could take on several

secretaries’ work by herself. She handled everything very well no matter what it was.

Jordan smiled slightly. "Are you curious about her?"

| nodded. "Generally, bosses prefer single, young, and beautiful assistants. That's why I'm slightly more curious

about this.”

Jordan frowned slightly and said a little sarcastically," Capability is everything in the business field, not physical

appearance. Do all bosses seem that dirty-minded to you?"

I quickly shook my head to deny it. "Of course not."

Jordan nodded slightly. "You probably often read a lot of pointless books. | suggest you read more useful ones."

UH

Did | just get looked down upon?

The car drove to the entrance of the clubhouse and | caught sight of Shannon standing there at a glance.

She looked extremely sexy wearing a black halter dress and with delicate makeup on. She attracted many

glances from men when she stood at the entrance like that.

Jordan and | got out of the car. He tossed his car keys t o the valet.

Shannon greeted us with a smile and said, "It’s truly a n honor to have you join us, Mr. Fredericks."

Jordan merely nodded faintly, not saying a word.

The girl looked atand let out a mischievous smile. "Didn't you say that you weren't coming, Ms. Lane?"

She then glanced at Jordan and asked sarcastically," Are you perhaps a personal attendant too?"

| could not argue with her because Jordan was around, so | could only roll my eyes at her and say faintly, "Why

are you dressed so nicely today? Are you planning to end your single life here?"

"You can tell?" She let out a bright and charming smile. She cto my side and said with a smile, "I plan to

make a move on Mr. Fredericks tonight. As my best friend, shouldn’t you assistwith it?”

What else could | say? | could only look helplessly at her and say, "I wish you all the best."

Jordan was indeed the king of diamonds in the hearts of many women. He was born in a well-off family and had

charming looks. Ordinary girls could almost never encounter another man who was as goodlooking as him, so

they would never want to let go of him.

The clubhouse had options for dining and entertainment. Shannon had booked a private room, s 0 we could go to

other floors for entertainment activities after eating. From the looks of it, she seemed like she was planning to

party all night.

After entering the private room and seeing Dazaray, | froze for a moment. I did not expect Shannon to invite her

as well.

However, | did not dwell too much on it and greeted her before taking my seat.

Shannon took the seat besideand leaned closer to my ear, saying, "I didn't invite Dazaray. Nina and the rest

did."

She continued after a pause, "I should've told them earlier. She annoysso much."

| merely smiled and made no remark.

In addition to socializing, the majority of people found eating and chatting very relaxing. However, that certainly

did not include Jordan. At least, that was in my opinion.

Initially, | thought that a man with a cool bearing like him would not enjoy such a method of relaxation, but he

did not seem uncomfortable by it. He even started drinking and chatting with everyone, which surprised me

greatly.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, | felt a little warm and got up to go to the washroom. | planned to wash my

face to cool down.

| heard footsteps behindand turned around to see Dazaray.

| pursed my lips, saying in a tone that was not too warm, "Are you going to the washroom too?"

She nodded, her countenance a little cold.

There was nothing between us, hence there was no need for us to talk to each other. | did not tell her that | was

going to wash my face in the washroom.

After washing my face and coming out of the washroom, | suddenly heard a woman screaming. It sounded like

Dazaray, so | ran in the direction of her screams.

After turning a corner, | saw Dazaray leaning on a man's body. From the looks of her posture, she seemed to

have twisted her ankle.

| could tell who the man she was leaning on was at a single glance.

Suddenly seeing the man whom | had missed for such a long tmadeflustered.

"Can you help me, Sir? | twisted my ankle," Dazaray said, her hand already grabbing onto Theo's arm.

Theo frowned, clearly a little disgusted by her.

However, the gentlemanliness in him stopped him from pushing her away directly. Instead, he motioned Keith,

who was standing behind him, to help her.

The distance between the two was pulled apart. Theo was ready to turn around and leave.

When our eyes met, | panicked and subconsciously ran in the opposite direction.

However, after not going far, | fell into a familiar embrace.

Before | could react, he pulledinto a vacant private room.

In the dark, the man did not say a word and kissedeagerly.

Our rapid heartbeats were the only sounds in the quiet room.

| was pinned against the wall, the air in my mouth robbed by him. It made it laborious forto breathe. After a «

very long time, he finally let go of me.
