“I’m not going.”

Since Tristan already promised Sophie he wouldn’t get involved, he would do his best to fulfill that

promise.

“Are you sure you don’t want to go?”

“Let’s go! For all we know, we didn’t go there on purpose. We can pretend that it’s just a coincidence.

“Charles tried to persuade his friend. Terence is notorious for his debauchery. How can we be at ease if

we don’t go and take a look?

“Fine. Let’s go!”

In a famous Anglanduran restaurant in Jipsdale, Sophie and Victor had been waiting for quite some

time.

However, Terence still hadn’t shown up.

Sophie sipped on her glass of water calmly while Victor’s expression turned darker by the minute. He

was certain Terence was making them wait on purpose since they had agreed to meet up for dinner at

seven in the evening, and it was already seven-thirty.

Terence was half an hour late.

“Why don’t you head back first. Ms. Sophie? I can wait for him here.” I’m sure Ms. Sophie has never

been treated with such disrespect before

“It’s fine. I’m free, anyway, I must meet up with him since he’s such a nuisance.”

Sophie appeared composed. It has only been thirty minutes. I’m patient enough to wait.

As they conversed, the infamous Terence finally showed up. Despite being dressed in a fitted suit, the

smile on his face was smarmy.

Terence immediately approached Victor upon spotting him. His assistant pulled out the chair for him,

and before he sat down, he unbuttoned his suit.

“I apologize for the delay, Mr. White. The traffic was terrible today. You know how it is on a Friday.

Traffic is horrible everywhere. How bothersome.”

Terence knew Victor would definitely wait for him since the project was important for Tanner Group.

Hence, his tardiness was intentional.

He had arrived on time but had been lingering outside the restaurant instead of stepping straight in.

Though he had decided to sign the agreement, he wanted to gain more benefits for himself.

After all, that was how all businessmen were. Profit was their main concern.

It wasn’t until he sat down that he noticed Sophie. His eyes lit up the moment he spotted her.

“I didn’t expect Tanner Group to have such a pretty lady, Mr. White. She’s prettier than most celebrities

on TV.

A few of Terence’s ex-girlfriends all had the same influencer look.

He used to think his ex-girlfriends were stunning, but the moment he laid eyes on Sophie, he finally

knew the true meaning of astounding beauty.

Victor’s expression was grim when he heard Terence’s remark. As he expected, Terence was a

complete

pervert

His fiery gaze was practically glued on Sophie, and the way he ogled at her was way too disgusting.

“Hi, You must be Mr. Hein. I’ve heard of you. I’m Sophie Tanner from Tanner Group.” Sophie extended

her hand for a handshake. Terence does live up to his name as an infamous pervert.

“Sophie. Wow, even your name is pretty. Have you heard about me? Am I really that famous?”

“Yes, I’ve heard of you. Mr. Hein, do you have any questions regarding our project?”

“We’re here for dinner, so let’s not talk about work. We shouldn’t discuss business after working hours.”

The look in Terence’s eyes was filled with lust, making others feel uncomfortable.

“I thought you have something urgent to settle, Ms. Sophie? You may head back now. I can take it from

here.”

“What are you doing, Mr. White? I’ll sign the agreement tomorrow if Ms. Tanner stays to have dinner

with me.” Terence was, obviously, exceptionally lecherous, and he didn’t bother to conceal it.

“Please tell me why you’re still not signing the agreement, Mr. Hein. If there’s an issue with our project,

I’ll have someone amend it.”

“There’s no issue with it. I would’ve signed it already if you were the one managing the collaboration at

the very beginning.”

Terence didn’t even try to hide his impure thoughts.

In fact, he didn’t think there was a problem with his behavior and felt proud of how blatantly lewd he

was.

“Oh. In that case, did Mr. White do anything to offend you?”

“Mr. White is capable, but sometimes he’s a stick in the mud. You should take over the project, Ms.

Sophie. I like collaborating with pretty ladies.”

Upon finishing his sentence, he reached out for Sophie’s hand, trying to cop a feel.

Sophie thought she was patient enough to endure Terence’s disgusting advances for so long. The fact

that he deliberately made things difficult for Victor was already annoying, and now he even tried to

molest her. He’s basically digging his own grave!

Victor had wanted to defend Sophie, but before he could, Sophie grabbed Terence’s wrist and twisted

it. In response, Terence let out a painful squeal.

“What do you think you’re doing, Ms. Tanner? Do you know what you’re doing? Do you want me to sign

the agreement or not?”

“Since you think your current position doesn’t suit you, you don’t have to take up the position anymore.

I trust many people are lining up to take your place in Maxwell Corporation.”

Terence’s assistant instantly shot to his feet upon seeing that..

“What are you doing, Ms. Tanner? Release Mr. Hein in this instance! We have many in line waiting to

collaborate with us. We won’t be collaborating with you after what you’ve done.”

“Is that so?”

Sophie didn’t release her grip.

“I think you have a death wish for bullying my subordinate.” Initially, Sophie intended to settle the issue

diplomatically, but after witnessing Terence’s behavior, she could imagine how much trouble Terence

had caused her employee.

With that, Sophie let Terence go and dialed the number of Maxwell Corporation’s CEO.

“Hi, this is Sophie Tanner. Tanner Group’s collaboration with Maxwell Corporation ends today. I think

your company doesn’t meet our standards.”

“Is there a problem, Ms. Tanner? Didn’t we already discuss all the details for the project?” Connor

Maxwell, Maxwell Corporation’s CEO, didn’t expect to hear that from Sophie.

Tanner Group’s recent project was a hot property.

Even though Tanner Group wasn’t particularly famous, they were quite capable. Many might not be

aware of Sophie’s true identity, but Connor was one of those who knew.

“Your employee has been giving my employee a hard time. Do you really take me as some gullible

woman? What makes you think I would still want to collaborate with you after all the trouble your

employee caused me?”

Sophie had always loved to keep a low profile, and that was why she assigned Victor to handle the

project strictly by the book. However, it seemed like her decision was a mistake.

“Calm down, Ms. Tanner. I’ll investigate the root of the problem and give you an explanation.”

“Sure”

Sophie ended the call after that.

Terence’s eyes widened with disbelief.

“How is that possible? Why do you have our CEO’s number?” Terence was stunned. “You’re only trying

to scare me, aren’t you?”
