Chapter 14
Seeing Melody’s agitated face, Briana said calmly, “Even if I avoid it this time, he will find another opportunity to trick me, so it’s better to teach him a lesson this time.”
“He must have given you a difficult client. What if you are pestered?”
Briana smiled, “Don’t worry about it. Just go to work.”
“I still can’t be at ease. I’ll accompany you when you talk with the client.”
“No need. If I can’t even solve this matter on my own, the company will be finished if I encounter bigger difficulties in the future, won’t it?”
Seeing her insistence, Melody had to give in. “Okay, but if there are any emergencies, you must call me. Don’t deal with it alone!”
“Got it.”
Shortly after Melody left, George came over to deliver the contract.
He had smugness in his eyes. “Ms. Schneider, I’ll be waiting for your good news!”
“Okay, Mr. Landry. You can leave if there’s nothing else. I have a lot of work to do.”
Anger flashed in George’s eyes, and then he turned around with a sneer and left straight away. He waited to see Briana make a fool of herself.
Briana looked at the documents and made an appointment with the client in the evening before getting busy with her other work.
Soon, it was time to get off work. Briana took the documents and went directly to the restaurant where she and the client had arranged to meet.
Briana had just walked into the private room when the person sitting inside stood up in a hurry and said cheerfully, “Ms. Schneider, please sit down.”
Sammy Ware did not expect Briana to be so beautiful. He was so tempted that he wanted to pounce on her now. He thought, “This time George really sent me a beautiful woman.”
Thinking about what George had said to him on the phone, Sammy felt excited.
Briana sat down on a chair two seats away from Sammy and smiled, “Hello, Mr. Ware.”
Unhappy that Briana was so far away from him, Sammy got up, walked right over to Briana, and sat down next to her, his small eyes staring lewdly at her chest.
“Ms. Schneider, why are you so formal? Even though we haven’t met before, we’ll get familiar with each other soon. Just call me Sammy.”
Sammy was over fifty years old, older than Zane. The wrinkles on his face shook violently when he laughed, and he behaved cheekily.
Saying that, he unconsciously held Briana’s hand on the table.
The next second, a scream rang out.
“Let go of me! It hurts!”
Briana let go of him with a calm demeanor. “I’m sorry, Mr. Ware. I don’t really like people touching me.”
Although she was apologizing, there was no trace of guilt in her eyes.
Sammy had a pang of annoyance. His eyes rolled before he suddenly smiled again.
He picked up the decanted red wine on the table and poured a glass for Briana. “Tell you what, if you drink this glass of wine, I’ll forget about what just happened. How about that?”
Briana raised her eyebrows and smiled, “It’s no fun to drink red wine. I’ll go ask the waiter to bring a few bottles of white wine.”
Seeing Briana getting up to leave, Sammy stopped smiling and scowled, “Ms. Schneider, since you’re so insincere, I don’t see any point in continuing our cooperation.”
He placed his red wine glass heavily on the table, his face filled with anger.
Briana could see that Sammy was trying to use the contract to take advantage of her. She said indifferently, “Alright, Mr. Ware. Enjoy your meal. I’ll leave first.”
Sammy originally wanted to threaten Briana, and he didn’t expect her to turn to leave directly. He froze for a few seconds before chasing after her.
“Stop!”
His voice wasn’t small and instantly attracted the attention of the people around him.
Through the carved wooden partition, several people on the other side of the room got a good look at Briana and Sammy.
