Chapter 66
Ms. Foster’s captivating gaze narrowed at Walter’s words, her tone icy. “Who did you think I was?”
He had burst in with erratic steps and an urgent voice, a far cry from his usual poise.
Ms. Foster felt a flutter of curiosity, waiting in silenc or his reply.
Walter, finally composed, eyed the woman before him with suspicion. Finding no giveaway, he answered with a chill, “It’s nothing, just a case of mistaken identity…”
Her hand clenched beneath the table.
A case of mistaken identity?
Fine, just fine!
She had expected nothing less than disdain from that man.
Ms. Foster’s anger rose, but her smile was alluring. Her eyes, however, betrayed a deep chill.
She gave him a frosty look. “Next time, Mr. Walter Gordon, make sure you take a good look before you bother someone. It’s quite rude, don’t you think?”
Walter was momentarily lost for words, caught off–guard by her rebuke.
“You know who I am?” he asked, a crease forming between his brows, picking up on
the inconsistency.
Ms. Foster’s lips curled in a sneer. “Who isn’t aware of Mr. Walter Gordon’s recent antics against the Foster family? You’ve really outdone yourself.”
Walter had heard whispers about Ms. Foster long before their paths crossed. As he finally met her, she lived up to every story. She carried herself with an edge, a telltale sign of someone who had clawed her way through the cutthroat business world.
Even so, her pointed questions stirred an uneasy feeling deep within him.
“Maybe instead of pointing fingers when a deal slips through your fingers, you should take a hard look in the mirror. Even if I weren’t in the picture, do you honestly believe you’d have landed that project?”
At that very moment, Oscar, out of breath, made it to the scene. He had just learned that his boss had a run–in with Ms. Foster, and the old feud between their families flashed through his mind, sending a shiver down his spine. He wanted to calm his boss down before things escalated.
