It was bright and sunny. Amanda walked along the street for so long, and she felt her feet a bit hurting before she went back to the hotel by cab.
The cab stopped in front of the entrance of the hotel. Amanda paid the fares and got out of the cab.
She walked into the lobby and met Lindsay, who was walking over to her. Lindsay smiled, “Ms. Flores.”
Amanda was surprised that Lindsay would be in the hotel.
“Are you coming to me for something of the work?” she asked.
Lindsay smiled, “No, I just want to invite you to watch a big show, Ms. Flores.”
Amanda's heart skipped one beat. Lindsay was not easy to deal with, and she was good at disguising herself. She had been disguised herself as a pure-minded person in front of Amanda back then.
However, Lindsay wanted her life in the end!
Amanda had to keep an eye on Lindsay!
“I'm not familiar with you,” Amanda refused.
Who knew if it was her conspiracy?
“Strangers the first time, acquaintances the next. Besides you also have cooperation with our company and we may consider being 'a family'. You’re new to City B. There must be a lot of inconveniences you've experienced, and there's no place for you to spend time. So I invite you to relax,” Lindsay took two steps closer to Amanda in her high heels, and she was only half a meter apart from Amanda, “You seem to be wary of me, Ms. Flores.”
“We're not foes. Why would I be wary of you?” Amanda smiled faintly, “Are you going to do something to me since you invited me passionately?”
“I think you may have misunderstood, Ms. Flores,” Lindsay explained, “I'm sincerely inviting you, but you keep rejecting me and seems to be mistrusting me.”
Amanda gave a laugh, “I don't even trust myself.”
How would Amanda trust others?
How would she trust the person who harmed her back then?
It suddenly occurred to Amanda. Could it be that Lindsay wanted to buy her off this time or to harm her this time?
Amanda thought, ‘But Lindsay has no reason to do this either.’
Amanda was negotiating a tie-up with J&Y Group on behalf of RM Group.
“I still have things to deal with,” after saying that, Amanda took a step towards the elevator.
“Ms. Flores.”
Lindsay turned around and looked at her, “I want to tell you, don't try to think about something you shouldn't think about.”
“What do you mean by that?” Amanda could not understand her words.
“You don't assume that I didn't know you purposely got close to Stanford at the charity party that night,” Lindsay looked frosty, “Anyone who covets him will come to no good end.”
It dawned on Amanda that Lindsay referred to what happened at the entrance of the party that day. Lindsay had seen that Amanda purposely pretended to twist her foot and stumbled into Stanford's arms.
“I didn't think about it before your reminder. I think Mr. James does look good, and he's a man of condition. I kinda like him,” she smiled, “Mr. James is not married to you, so I have a reason to fight for my happiness, isn’t it?”
Lindsay's face turned white with rage, “You're getting far too cheeky!”
“Mr. James and I are single. How come I can't pursue him? Why would I be too cheeky?” she deliberately took her phone, “How about we call Mr. James and ask him if I can pursue him?”
“You...” Lindsay pointed at Amanda, and she was exasperated instead of being arrogant. Amanda’s attitude was going too far from her expectations.
“I wonder if Mr. James knows what you've done,” Amanda pretended to make a phone call, and Lindsay rushed over to her and knocked the phone out of her hand. The phone fell to the ground, and the screen of the phone cracked.
Amanda stood still, lowered her head, and looked at the phone on the ground with a cracked screen. She raised her eyebrows slightly, “I just bought the phone not long ago.”
“How much is it?” Lindsay took her wallet out from her bag, “I'll compensate you for it.”
“I don't need your compensation. Just pick it up and hand it over to me,” Amanda pulled a long face.
“Humph,” Lindsay refused, “I won't pick it up for you!”
Lindsay turned around and left the hotel after saying that.
Amanda bent down and picked the phone up. She looked at the cracked screen without showing any expressions on her face. She did not go upstairs, walked to the reception desk and asked the hotel receptionist, “Is there any surveillance camera in the hotel lobby?”
