"Mr. Smith, isn't your attitude a bit hurtful for someone who has come with sincere intentions as a cooperative partner?" Even though Sandra had an impressive ability to endure, Joe's unabashed demeanor managed to infuriate her.
Joe chuckled softly, guiding Charlotte to sit on the sofa.
He lounged indolently against the couch, his voice icy and indifferent. "Perhaps you've forgotten, this is the Smith Group building."
The powerful aura emanating from the man and his disdainful attitude intrigued Sandra.
Before returning to the country, she had heard discussions about Mr. Smith from her friends.
They said he had a strong personality, employed ruthless methods, and was known to steer clear of women's advances. No matter how much effort they expended to pursue him, he remained unmoved.
She had initially thought it was just an external façade of a so-called gentleman, as men often portrayed themselves that way.
However, having experienced countless men, Sandra was well aware that the person in front of her had absolutely no interest in her.
This was intriguing.
This was the first time Sandra had truly paid attention to Charlotte besides Joe. "Perhaps Mr. Smith is targeting me due to some misunderstanding from you? In fact..."
Charlotte smiled.
She cut off Sandra's words without hesitation, her tone calm. "I can't afford the label you are trying to pin on me, Miss Faulkner. We've always maintained a clear distinction between public and private matters. We would never target someone over such trivial issues."
Although she said this, Charlotte's attitude was a completely different story.
I'm targeting you. So what?
Sandra let out a meaningful "oh" and then turned to Joe again. "Mr. Smith, since your girlfriend has spoken, you must provide me a valid reason for treating me this way. If our cooperation is disrupted due to such matters, I'm afraid your shareholders won't take it lightly."
