Westley recognized Victor instantly. On the other hand, in a glance Victor too was aware of Westley's presence there.
The Sanderson Family's business was a promising enterprise. Under the leadership of Victor, their business had already expanded outside Ensfield. It was spreading across other cities, and even entering the overseas market.
It was known to all that Victor was an ambitious man. He was cruel, cold and ruthless. No one could stop him if he made up his mind to do something. His obstinacy was the major reason why he couldn't get people's support. Though he had made the Sanderson Group more powerful and influential, he was not able to win their hearts or support.
The Morris Group was the biggest group in Antawood. And it was one of the top three groups in the country. It had stepped into a wide range of industries and progressed remarkably. It was one of those groups that also performed well in the overseas market. Westley was the current president of the Morris Group. He was an exceptional businessman, who was good in business and had powerful means.
Although the Sanderson Group had advanced well under Victor's leadership, it was still miles behind the Morris Group. Considering the level of competition between them, Victor naturally kept all the information about his competitors in mind. He was shrewd and knew that any bit of information could help him and one day he would be able to surpass them completely.
Westley had always kept a low profile. Seldom did he release his photos or reveal his private life to the public. Yet, Victor had his own ways to know what he wanted to know about his rivals.
No one knew that though they were arch rivals, Victor appreciated Westley a lot. Among the top ten business leaders in the country, he was impressed the most by Westley. Victor's goal was to surpass Westley one day and replace the Morris Group in the industry with his own.
But he didn't expect that he'd get a chance to meet Westley so soon. And he had never thought that they'd meet in such a small place like Bangkok.
The most important thing at the moment was that Westley shared a close relationship with Gabrielle.
It made him think that perhaps, some people were born to be enemies. For the first time in his life, Victor had been impressed and liked a woman, but that woman turned out to be Westley's.
This time, the situation was quite complicated, but Victor had never missed the target once he aimed for it.
Be it a thing or a person, if it caught his fancy then it was hard for him to let go of it.
"Mr. Sanderson, it's not safe here. We were lucky that they failed last night. Once we had managed to leave, we shouldn't have come back. It's better we go back to Ensfield today!"
Raul Patel, Victor's special assistant, approached with a serious look and reminded him.
Despite his weird behavior, they all respected Victor. He had always been calm and decisive, so they didn't dare to say anything against him. But today things were different and Victor behaved in a weird manner.
Yesterday, they had gone to another hotel which was safer and secluded. They made it in the heavy rain at night, in order to avoid the people sent by their enemy.
But before dawn, Victor had said he wanted to come back to this hotel to deal with something. He asked the bodyguards to follow him there.
Victor didn't say anything. He did not reply to any question that Raul asked. As soon as they reached the hotel, he asked Raul to investigate the whereabouts of Gabrielle. Then Victor went to the restaurant to plan a run-into Gabrielle plot.
Why did Victor risk his life and return? Was it because of a woman? Was there something wrong with his brain?
It was unbelievable and unexpected for all of them.
Since when did Victor, who always avoided women, become so interested in a woman? This was happening for the first time!
"It's raining heavily. Why don't we stay here today?" Victor said thoughtfully as he watched heavy rain lash outside.
