Somebody’s finally revealing her true thoughts.
As expected, after the anniversary party, Thora had already taken the liberty of labeling me as a self-centered and selfish person. She was convinced that someone like me wasn’t worthy of Ashton, let alone fit to be her opponent.
It was too bad that things didn’t always go well for overconfident women.
I turned to face her fully, making sure to level my gaze with hers before flaunting in a lackadaisical manner. “Perhaps I’m not as good as you when it comes to doing business, but capturing a man’s heart may not be your strong suit. I only need to curl my finger at Ashton and he’ll come back to me sooner or later. When that happens, it won’t just be a simple kiss. But you’ve reminded me of something. Losing the Pitcoin business opportunity is indeed a shame. If that’s the case, you should guard the gem in your hand, lest you slip up and allow someone the opportunity to snatch it away…”
With that, I flashed her a meaningful smile and spun of my heels to leave.
Behind me came Herman’s concerned voice. “Ms. Ziegler, are you okay?”
Thora, however, didn’t respond.
Only then did a smug smile tug on my lips.
Perfect. She’s not even showing her business partner any courtesy. I knew that Thora’s competitive streak had been triggered. To gain an upper hand over me, she would undoubtedly push Ziegler Investment to go all out in the Pitcoin business.
And this was exactly what I wanted.
Back in the main hall, Ashton was already surrounded by business moguls. He discreetly glanced in my direction. After our eyes met, he visibly relaxed and focused his attention back on socializing.
Meanwhile, I noticed that Emma and John were quarreling in hushed tones a short distance away before the former stormed over.
