Chapter 43 See Jeremy Again
Chapter 43 See Jeremy Again
No wonder in the early morning, Terence invited Victor's grandpa to come to the company. It turned out that Terence was invited to watch a play. Although Victor's grandpa rarely came to the company to learn the specific things, the director's purpose was so obvious that Victor could get the full picture at a glance.
Rumors had already spread all over the company. It was no exception that Sophia in the office was no exception. She worried the hell out of Victor.
The board had already investigated the cause of "allergic problem". Any sensible person could figure out that Xiao Group was stabbed in the back. Apparently, the board of directors wanted to make a big fuss about this and wanted to get Victor into trouble.
Sophia had witnessed today's prosperity in the business world.
In the business world, only when you felt complacent could you add fuel to the fire. You could never find when you were down.
The only factor that could affect a businessman was profit.
Sophia was worrying about Victor when a big hand raised her head.
When Victor returned to his office, he saw Sophia scene outside the window. Therefore, he pulled her up and strode her out of the office.
When Sophia realized it, she was already in the elevator with Victor.
"Where are we going?" Confused, Sophia squinted at the man standing next to her, expressionless.
"To the bar." His answer was too simple that made Sophia kind of unnatural.
Sophia's look caught Victor's attention. When he looked back at her sharply, Sophia hastily put on a make-up and turned her head back to the man.
Recalling what had happened today, she thought Victor wanted her to go to the bar with him maybe because he was in a bad mood and he wanted to relax. She didn't expect that the great CEO would get into trouble.
Thinking of this, Sophia suddenly felt a little funny and laughed out.
The next moment, Victor cast a sharp glance at her. What was the woman thinking? She was so happy that she even behaved so clearly in front of him.
When they got out of the elevator, Victor tightly grasped her slender, delicate wrist and pulled her out vigorously. They went straight to the bar.
Sophia seemed so normal that the man in front of her was still in a bad mood because of what happened in the day. After all, man like Victor was unpredictable.
The bar was in the center of the city, and when the night fell, the colorful lights cast on various men and women, making people have a sense of indulgence. Maybe, that was why most people liked to come to the bar.
Sophia thought so. But she was held tightly by Victor. They walked through the noisy crowd and went to the innermost seat.
Rita and Jeremy had been waiting for a long time in the booth. They were talking about something and there was a smile on their faces.
However, when Sophia saw Jeremy standing in front of her, she was surprised. She slowed down her pace immediately. Soon she realized that there was Victor standing next to her. Sophia was calm
again.
It never occurred to her that they would meet again after they parted that day.
However, during this instant change of her expression, her expression was magnified by Victor. In fact, Victor had noticed all these Sophia's tiny expressions and small moves. Maybe he didn't know why.
All of a sudden, Sophia's alone night popped into Victor's mind.
An inexplicable fire came to Victor's heart. He slammed down, but said nothing. He just looked at the woman beside him with a meaningful look.
In fact, when Jeremy saw Sophia, he was surprised.
Obviously he didn't expect that the woman whom he had a crush on a few days ago was the assistant of Victor. But it didn't change anything. In fact, Jeremy liked her every day.
"Nice to meet you again, Miss Sophia." Jeremy moved aside and let her sit beside him.
"Do you know each other?" The person who blurted out was Victor. He looked at Sophia in his eyes. Although he had known what she would say, he still wanted to know what she would say.
Sophia lowered her head and didn't dare to look straight into the man's eyes.
She felt a little awkward when she heard Victor. Then it occurred to her that why, as a CEO, could have the right to meddle in the assistant's private life, let alone that she merely had a contract with Victor. Thinking of this, she replied angrily, "of course, Mr. Victor, don't you allow me to know Jeremy here?"
On hearing this, Victor glanced at Jeremy sitting aside and studied the two people intentionally. Then, the anger in his heart disappeared, replaced by a disdainful smile. "Sophia, you can do whatever you want to do."
Then, it suddenly occurred to Sophia that the other day, Rita wanted to chase after Victor. So she quietly glanced at Rita and sat next to Jeremy.
Victor noticed Sophia's intention. He took a seat beside Rita. Picking up the glass, he said flirtatiously, "Miss Rita, after we parted some days before, I was counting the days everyday. I look forward to seeing you again.""
Rita was overjoyed when she heard Victor. She clinked her glass with Victor's and sipped. "Me too," Rita whispered in his ear, nervous and flustered
She was so loud that all four people could hear her.
Now, Rita was slightly drunk. Like a woman in love, she leaned against the table and looked straight at Victor with a silly smile.
The behavior of Rita and Victor was very ambiguous.
"I thought Victor liked men. But in fact, Victor saw Miss Rita' beauty.
Jeremy intentionally shifted the topic to Victor and spoke in detail to Sophia who was sitting next to him.
Sophia deliberately joked, "Mr. Victor is a successful boss. He can do anything he want. Besides, Miss Rita is so beautiful. "
Sophia felt a little regretful after finishing the sentence. She felt herself a little sour...
Pouring herself a glass of wine, she looked away with a guilty conscience.
'She is getting more and more interesting, ' Victor thought.
Sophia lifted her head and glanced at the young men and women dancing on the dancing floor. Then she turned around and talked with Jeremy deliberately.
She didn't know why, but Sophia felt a little lonely in her heart. She could only try to hide this from others.
But Victor, who sat opposite Sophia, felt nervous when he saw that Sophia was having a good time talking with Jeremy. Victor held the glass in front of him unconsciously, as if he would not stop until it was broken into pieces.
In fact, when Sophia glanced at Victor and Rita, she felt heartbroken. But she tried to pretend that she didn't care about it.
"I heard that Mr. Jeremy's newly listed products are very popular." Victor interrupted them and looked at Jeremy with a playful smile.
"Mr. Victor, you are indeed a real workaholic. You never forget to discuss business with me in the bar!"
Jeremy drained his glass cheerfully. He didn't answer Victor's question, but gave an accusation.
Victor knew Jeremy well. Since he had kept his mouth shut, Victor assumed that he had learnt what was going on.
So, it seemed that Victor didn't care about Jeremy had just done to Sophia. Victor laughed loudly and said, "that's right. I'll punish myself with one glass of wine!"
He raised the glass and drank it up.
It was odd to see the two of them, but Sophia couldn't tell what it was exactly.
Rita, who couldn't carry the alcohol, suddenly said, "Sophia, accompany me to the washroom."
Sophia sat in this booth was like sitting on pins and needles. Therefore, as soon as she heard Rita's request, she quickly stood up and accompanied Rita to the bathroom.
After Sophia getting far away, Victor put down his wine glass and stopped smiling. He coldly looked at Jeremy and warned, "don't spy on something that doesn't belong to you."
Jeremy didn't get angry. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Mr. Victor, don't be so serious. Is Miss Sophia just an object for you?"
"It has nothing to do with you. All you need to do is to do your job well." There was coldness in Victor's eyes. He grabbed his glass and drank it up.
Obviously, Jeremy didn't take his words seriously. He ignored Victor and looked away.
"Sophia, I didn't expect you to be so nice. Thank you very much!" Rita said to Sophia who had been silent since she came out of the bathroom.
Sophia glanced at the familiar table in the corner. After a while, Sophia said weakly, "it doesn't matter. If I am helping you, I am also helping myself."
But Rita didn't listen to Sophia. Rita kept walking towards her seat. She wanted to meet Victor right now.
After waiting for a long time, Victor saw them come back. He changed his tone and said, "Mr. Jeremy, see you next time."
Like what they did at the beginning, Jeremy shook Victor's hand, "I'm waiting for your good news, Mr. Victor."
Victor was about to get out of the bar with a cold face, dragging Sophia out of the bar. This woman was so reckless. She actually made him angry the whole night.
At this time, a familiar voice came from the side, "it's so late, Victor. Can you send me home?"
After getting along with Victor in the bar a moment ago, Rita wanted to strike while the iron was hot so as to cultivate a close relationship with Victor. Rita linked her arm with Victor's, but was pushed away indifferently by him.
He was calm now and Rita was useless to him.
"I believe Mr. Jeremy would like to do it for me." Victor showed rejection on his face.
