Obsession With Mr. Right novel Chapter 266

Valeria arrived outside Howard Group half an hour later, but there was no sign of William.

She had no choice but to park her car before calling William, "Hey, I'm here, are you coming down soon?"

"I'm coming!"

William answered as he grabbed his coat before leaving his office.

Steven, who had been working outside the door, looked up to William with a smile before greeting him, "Are you leaving now, Sir?"

"Yes!"

"Sir Hayden has requested you to wait for him, Sir."

"What? Why do I have to wait for him?" William paused.

Steven sighed and scratched his head, trying to evade William's sharp gaze.

"He wants you to go to the company dinner with him and Ms.Anthony, but his driver's out running an errand so you all can only leave later."

"Alright; William agreed readily, "I'll meet you all downstairs then."

Steven heaved a sigh of relief at his answer.He was fully prepared to deal with William's anger, but it appeared that he got lucky as William was in a good mood today.

This meant that Steven had completed the task assigned to him, and he was relieved as he wouldn't have to worried about being lectured by Hayden again.

Steven immediately called Hayden to inform him or the news after William had left.

Hayden was all smiles after hearing that William had decided to go along with his request, "All right, tell Ms.Anthony to get ready and meet me downstairs too."

Meanwhile, Valeria, who was impatient, scowled at William as he came out of the front door and got onto her car, "What took you so long?"

"We have to attend an event before going home tonight, looks like our conversation will have to wait then"

William smiled before gesturing for Valeria to change seats, "I'll drive, move over to the passenger seat."

Valeria did not refuse his request and moved across to the passenger seat, "Wait, what event are you talking about?" she asked curiously.

"Well, it's compulsory for me to attend the company dinner so I decided to bring you along as my plus one," William explained.

"Why do I have to attend your company dinner?" Valeria complained while pouting.

"Look, do me a favour alright? All we have to do is to have a meal together then we can leave" William persuaded her softly.

"Fine!"

Valeria agreed easily, giving into William's persuasive words.She could not be mad at his gentleness in the first place anyway.

"Oh right, Paisley will be attending the company dinner too"

William added casually after Valeria had agreed to his request, wanting to see how she would react.

"What does Paisley attending have to do with me?"

William was relieved that she was uninterested in Paisley, and he sighed a little before adding, "My father will be there too."

"What? Your father will be there? I'm in trouble, do you know that both our fathers are colluding to take over my mother's company?" Valeria groaned.

She was unwilling to go with William now since she knew Hayden was attending as well.

Valeria had only met Hayden twice when she had been together with Mason.

She remembered Hayden as someone who was extremely strict and he would always carry an uninviting expression on his face.

"Tonight will be your first time meeting my father then.You know, even the ugliest wife would still have to meet the in-laws."

"Watch your mouth, did you just call me an ugly daughter- in- law?" Valeria narrowed her eyes at him.

"Of course not, my wife is the most beautiful daughter- in- law that any father could have" William praised before tilting his head to give Valeria a kiss.

"Don't do that in front of so many people" Valeria blushed quietly.
