Chapter 113: A Date With Victoria!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Really?”
Victoria was so overjoyed that she seemed to be losing her composure.
She had always felt that it was unfair for Hailey to trample on her by throwing her weight around with her identity as the president’s wife.
Victoria was a seasoned employee who had been working for the company even before Jordan became the president. She had also contributed a lot to the company.
What had Hailey ever done?
Who was she to occupy such an excellent office room?
Victoria suddenly had some doubts, and she asked, “Mr. Steele, everything… is fine between you and Hailey, right?”
Of course, Jordan couldn’t tell Victoria about the embarrassing truth of his marriage.
Thus, he smiled and said, “We’re doing very well, she just got pregnant recently, and we are very in love with each other.. However, I realized that I’ve spoiled her too much and ended up neglecting you guys here in the office. That’s not something a competent president should do.”
Victoria was no longer doubtful. She said with a smile, “Mr. Steele, you’re setting a good example for all men by being such a loving husband and doting on your wife so much. We employees wouldn’t dare to be jealous.”
Gazing at the svelte Victoria, Jordan couldn’t help but be stunned for a few seconds.
After those crazy ten minutes or so that he had spent with Elle just now, Jordan was still in a state of excitement, and his hormones were raging as he couldn’t help but be enticed by beautiful women.
Besides, Victoria was also a gorgeous woman, so there was no way Jordan didn’t harbor any thoughts about her.
To be honest, Jordan didn’t treat Victoria very well.
Ever since Victoria learned that he was the company’s president, she had been taking the initiative to approach him and get closer to him.
However, Jordan had always been really cold to her as he completely treated her as a subordinate.
Now, Jordan regretted his decision as he felt that he would have been better off dating Victoria than Hailey!
At the very least, Victoria wasn’t a two-faced person like Hailey, who seemed to be innocent and lovely on the surface, but was actually a promiscuous and unfaithful woman!
Jordan asked, “Victoria, are you free for lunch? My treat.”
Overjoyed to hear his offer, Victoria agreed, “Sure, I’d like to eat at Chicken and Noodles again.”
…
At noon, Jordan and Victoria headed to the underground parking lot of the office building, and together, they hopped into his limited edition Maybach. They then told the chauffeur to send them to downtown Orlando.
In the back seat, Jordan poured Victoria a glass of champagne and handed it to her.
“Let’s go get something from downtown before heading to lunch, okay?”
Victoria obviously wouldn’t dare to oppose as a subordinate, and she had always gone along with Jordan’s decisions.
Victoria took the champagne and said, “Of course it’s okay. But Mr. Steele…”
“Call me by my name.”
Jordan poured a glass of champagne for himself too.
Victoria asked with a smile, “Jordan, is there a happy occasion that calls for a celebration with champagne today?” Victoria asked with a smile
The champagne in the car was prepared by her for Jordan.
The main reason that Jordan had popped champagne was to celebrate the fact that he had finally seen Hailey’s true colors and obtained the closure he needed to finally let go of this relationship.
However, Jordan said, “To celebrate the fact that Ace Corporation has overcome that recent ordeal.”
Victoria clinked glasses with Jordan and said, “When the stock market opens on Monday, our stock price will definitely soar high again!”
Jordan didn’t respond to that. Little did Victoria know that the stock price of Ace Corporation would definitely plummet again when the stock market opened on Monday!
At that time, Jordan will be kicked out of the Steele family and stripped of his position as the president of the Acme Corporation!
Jordan and Victoria’s relationship as colleagues would end after the weekend!
Hence, Jordan wanted to treat Victoria to a meal and give her a gift as a token of appreciation for her help at work.
