Chapter 66 Unexpected Client (Part Two)

The two women arrived at a box in the hotel, which was decorated in a luxurious style. Steve was waiting for them inside.

"Hello, Mr. Song," said Sherry politely, holding out a hand.

Steve shook her hand, looking her up and down. She looked great. He was glad to see that she had fully recovered from her ordeal.

"Hello, Manager Sherry," he greeted, pressing her hand between both of his.

She pulled away. "This is my colleague, Linda." Sherry's body had been blocking the entrance, and she moved to the side so Linda could come in. Linda walked in, and she and Steve gave each other appraising glances.

Today, Steve wore a light brown suit that looked fantastic on his toned body. Sunlight slanted in through the windows and illuminated his hair. He had an easy charm and a wicked smile that could make any woman fall in love with him, and he knew it.

Linda looked nervous, but a mischievous light was also dancing in her eyes. She walked up to Steve and firmly shook his hand.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Linda," she said, smiling at Steve.

Sherry saw the way Linda smiled and thought she was nervous about meeting Steve. She placed a light hand on her friend's shoulder, signaling that she should relax.

They each took a seat around a round table in the room, and thoroughly discussed all the matters pertaining to the launch. Finally, when business was concluded, it was time for lunch. Steve was not one to pass up an opportunity to eat out with two beautiful women. He grinned at them and said, "Thanks very much for all your hard work! As a token of my gratitude, why don't I treat you to lunch today?"

Sherry had been sure he would suggest having lunch together. She had wanted to make a quick getaway with Linda before he could ask, but now that he'd invited them, it would be rude to refuse.

"Sure! We'd be delighted," said Linda before Sherry could answer.

"You know, it's my first time to meet the famous Mr. Song, and I must say, you're such a gentleman," Linda added coyly. Linda was unabashedly flattering Steve, and a corner of Sherry's mouth twitched slightly.

Steve smiled complacently. "We can eat right here. How about you, Manager Sherry? What d

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

favored him with a glowing smile. "You're so considerate. We know how busy you are, and we don't want to bother you. We can get back to the office on our own."

Sherry's smile at Steve was much cooler. She bid him a polite goodbye and took Linda's hand, and then the two women got into the waiting taxi.

The car drove off. Steve watched them go until the taxi turned a corner and disappeared from his sight. He wore a smug, satisfied smile.

"It's late afternoon already. I have to go back to work to finish up some documents, but you can go on home now," Sherry told Linda after she checked the time on her phone.

Linda was staring out of the window. She replied distractedly, "Oh, sure, of course."

"What's wrong with you? It looks like you've got a crush on someone," Sherry teased.

"Of course not!" Linda exclaimed, a little too quickly. She continued to gaze out the window, lost in thought.

Sherry curled her lips and stayed quiet for the rest of the ride. The taxi came to a stop in front of the company office, and Sherry got out of the car while Linda directed the driver to her address.

On the way home, Linda's phone suddenly vibrated.

She absently checked her phone. Her heart quickened as she realized it was a message from Steve.

It said simply, "I look forward to our next meeting."

Linda's hands trembled, and she almost dropped the phone. A flush appeared on her cheeks as she read and reread the words on the screen.
