“Don’t you think Josiah Bayer’s acting strange?”
“What’s so strange?” Jesse was indifferent. “All men are the same when they see a beautiful woman.”
“That’s true… But he doesn’t look like he’s met a pretty girl. More like he’s seen the ghost of his ancestor!”
Jesse nearly laughed out loud. He covered his mouth and scanned his surroundings before lowering his voice to tell Michael, “Mr. Johnson, I’ve already made the arrangement. The room’s at…”
Cordelia’s heart came up to her throat. She quietly went closer and listened in attention.
That hotel was some distance away from here and was located in the suburbs, barely having anyone when night fell.
She clenched her fists and felt anger raging in her chest.
Jesse’s smirk was evil. “That’s a deserted place. Even if Cordelia screams herself hoarse, it’s useless! Mr. Bayer will sign anything when he’s had enough fun!”
“Oh yeah, Mr. Johnson, I installed a camera in the room. If Josiah Bayer dares to back out of it, we’ll publicize the video recording!”
“You!” Michael pointed at him with a chuckle. “You know what you’re doing, huh? But it’d be a grievance to Cordelia.”
“What else can beautiful women do? She’ll at least be useful on the bed!”
“When this is done, I’ll transfer the sales director away, and you’ll take the place!”
Jesse pandered to Michael even more once he heard what the latter said.
Cordelia gasped, hiding behind the pillar, filled with rage and hatred. She forced down the discomfort from the alcohol and tried her best to keep herself sober. However, Jesse and Michael’s despicable faces kept flashing in her eyes.
She clenched her fists, digging her nails into her palms as she trembled. She could take care of the despicable men slowly. The urgency right now was to escape this crisis.
Cordelia calmed down and turned on her location on her phone, then texted Marcus to tell him to constantly keep track of her location and pick her up as soon as possible.
