Chapter 121
How many people in Freesia were referred to as Mr. Langford?
Of course, there was only one person: Samuel Langford. He was the only reason why all the big bosses in the private room were gazing at the door expectantly right now.
Tina didn’t want to bump into Samuel on this occasion. She wanted to use an excuse to slip out of the room. However, it was too late.
Samuel’s silhouette appeared at the doorway. Tina hoped with all her might that he wouldn’t notice her, so she cowered right next to the vase in the corner of the room. However, she could still feel a pair of sharp eyes staring right at her back.
Samuel took the main seat at the table. He emitted a regal aura no matter what he did. This was proven by the scene of everyone crowding around him and trying to please him.
Tina felt quite unsettled. She snuck a look in Samuel’s direction, noting his neutral expression. Perhaps he didn’t even notice her at all.
After a while, the atmosphere started to heat up. Mr. Gomez must have had too much to drink, because he suddenly turned to Tina. “Why are you sitting so far away? Others might think that I’m abusing my employees! Come closer, will you? Have a drink as well. I’ll have you know that the liquor here is all imported, so they’re a rare find…”. At that moment, Samuel’s cold gaze was trained in Tina’s direction.
Tina was alarmed. She tried to run out of instinct, but Mr. Gomez dragged her to a seat next to him.
“Hurry up and drink!” he urged.
Everyone else started egging on Tina to do the same. “Let’s see how’s your alcohol tolerance is like! If you can’t drink a lot, then you can’t do this job well!”
Tina was starting to panic. She finally latched onto the job opportunity after such a long time. Would she be losing this job as well?
Stuck between a rock and a hard place, she could only grit her teeth.
On the other hand, Mr. Gomez suddenly realized that something was off. Samuel was actually staring at the employee that he had just hired. It was a well-known fact that he never paid any attention to women at all.
With that thought in mind, Mr. Gomez quickly changed his mind. “Don’t drink yet. Aren’t you being a little rude here? Mr. Langford, why don’t I let my new employee toast to your success?”
Alarm bells rang louder in Tina’s mind. The sight of Samuel’s deep and dark eyes made her heart sink. As a result, she could only approach him.
“Mr. Langford…”
Suddenly, Samuel let out a cold chuckle, interrupting Tina. He commented coldly, “Looks like your company is bad at judging one’s character. Since that’s the case, there’s no need for us to continue discussing the collaboration deal.”
The moment his words fell, he stood up and left decisively. Everyone in the private room was dumbfounded upon hearing the comment. The atmosphere which was previously bustling with cheerful conversations and laughter suddenly became as silent as a graveyard. All pairs of eyes were fixated on Tina. They were filled with so much hatred that they wanted to skin her alive.
“Mr. Langford! Mr. Langford!” Mr. Gomez quickly became anxious. Then, he pointed at Tina and started hollering at her. “I knew that I shouldn’t have hired you! Scram! Get the hell out of here now!”
Tina knew that at this moment, she had lost her final opportunity to work in this city.
She didn’t know how she walked out of the hotel after that. Then, she started roaming down the street like a wayward soul. A cold gust of wind blew in her direction, making her stomach churn even more. Tina was instantly reminded of the wine that she had just ingested. She latched onto a nearby lamp post while heaving her guts out.
The vomit was never-ending. Not only was her stomach shriveling in pain, but her abdomen also hurt to the point that she kept sweating cold bullets.
At that moment, faint footsteps could be heard from the street.
“I just saw that woman heading in this direction. Since she’s had some alcohol, she must be super drunk right now. There’s no way she can leave this quickly!”
“She ruined Mr. Gomez’s plans, after all. We won’t let her off the hook easily!”
“Yeah! It’s precisely due to her good looks that Mr. Gomez chose her. He initially planned to sleep with her, but who would’ve thought that she’d offend Mr. Langford? At least now, we get to savor her…”
Tina felt as if an invisible hammer had slammed into the back of her skull, because her head was ringing badly from all the vomiting. She wanted to get up and escape, but her body was so weak that she collapsed to the ground instead.
As a result, the loud thud attracted the men’s attention immediately. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
