“I would like to show something to Mr. James,” she played the screen recording of the surveillance video on her phone and showed him.
Stanford lowered his eyes and looked at the screen played on the phone, and he frowned slightly. He delighted within himself when he heard Simona said that she wanted to pursue him.
“Are all the people from J&Y Group so domineering? She came to me and warned me for no reason. I want to ask for an explanation from you, Mr. James. Otherwise, we should hold off the tie-up between RM Group and J&Y Group.”
Stanford placed his arm casually on the desk, “Our tie-up should not be affected because of this matter, isn't it?”
“I don't think so, Mr. James. I represent RM Group, and we are supposed to be business partners, but the people from the J&Y Group had just bullied me. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?” she leaned forward and shortened the distance between the two people, “The lady in the video seems to like you, Mr. James. So is she going to warn every woman who has contact with you? Or you like the feeling of being adored so much, so you pretend not to know this kind of matter, Mr. James? If it's so, then I have nothing to say, and I'll consider myself unlucky to get tricked.”
After saying that, she got up from the chair and picked up the phone on the desk, “I've been through the character of employees of the J&Y Group. It seems that I can't contact Mr. James anymore in the future. Otherwise, she will come to warn me again. I'll contact the head office to discuss the tie-up with J&Y Groups today.”
She turned around and was about to leave after saying that.
“Wait a moment.”
Stanford stopped her, “Ms. Flores, please stay.”
He got up and walked over to her, “I didn't say I wouldn't get you an even. Why are you getting angry?”
Amanda turned her head around.
“How is Mr. James going to settle this?” Amanda raised her head and had an aggressive manner.
‘This kind of character...’
Stanford held no expression and did not stop his steps. He went closer to Amanda, and she instinctively took a step back. However, Stanford did not stop walking and was getting closer and closer to Amanda. She had no choice but to take two more steps back.
Stanford grabbed her by her wrist and dragged her toward him. Amanda hastily took a step forward and pressed the other hand against his chest. She suppressed the panic within herself and rebuked icily, “What are you doing?”
“Ms. Flores, I'll give you an explanation of your grievance, but before that, I want you to give me an explanation,” he said, and he moved his gaze to look at her soft, slender fingers. Amanda could feel his heartbeat, and his chest was still as stiff and strong as back then. She clenched her fingers, withdrew her hand, and avoided his gaze, “What explanation do you want, Mr. James?”
Stanford said in a low, deep voice, “You said in the video that you wanted to pursue me. Are you serious with that, Ms. Flores?”
Amanda was speechless.
She just wanted to anger Lindsay at that time.
She would pursue him? Huh, in his dreams!
She raised her eyes and played dumb, “Did I say that?”
“Are you having a bad memory, Ms. Flores?” Stanford leaned over to her and shortened the distance between Amanda and himself, “Do you need my help to recall it?”
Amanda could feel the familiar scent of warm air on her face when he spoke, and it caused her to be a little nervous. However, she was just a little nervous. Her heart would no longer have uncontrolled beating because of him. Her heart also would no longer race because of his kiss.
She remembered the day of her first kiss, and it was a rainy day. Stanford sent her home and kissed her at the entrance.
She was then excited and did not sleep all night.
She had feelings for Stanford first. He thought that her love was part of his plan but did not know she had given him all her heart.
If she did not love him, how could she love him so much with his pursuit like that? How would she trust him so much? It was all because she truly loved him. She was willing to give him everything and stood behind him willingly because of her courage and love toward him.
“I don't like people's warning, and it was just my words to refute her. It'll be ridiculous if you take it seriously, Mr. James,” Amanda looked calm, and her love toward him was gone when he said he never loved her back then. There was only hatred left between the two people.
“Are you telling me that you lied, Ms. Flores?” he took a few steps backwards, and his tone was icy.
