Love At The Wrong Table

Retribution for Gautier’s betrayal of Hattie came in the form of a billion-dollar retirement fund, sparing the Verkade family from complete ruin. 1

Lara felt a deep sense of sympathy for Gautier, believing that Mackenzie was simply stubborn. This was why she no longer wished to work tirelessly for the Terence Group, especially under the oppressive shadow of Beatrix.

Upon hearing Lara’s decision, Beatrix couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement as she exclaimed, “That’s great!”

She was very happy to bid farewell to Lara.

At 9 a.m., a well-dressed young man arrived at Terence Group’s branch in Yeringham. It was Shane. He muttered to himself while counting on his fingers, “Hehe! The lovely fairy slapped me three times last time, so it must mean that I should return to her in three days. She’s so mischievous. Fortunately, I’m clever enough to understand her hint. Here I am today, successfully arranging another meeting.”

Shane rubbed his hands together, brimming with excitement.

Last night, he mustered the courage to make appointments with Beatrix. To his surprise, she agreed. She asked him to come to her office early in the morning to continue their unfinished discussion.

Having successfully secured the appointment, Shane couldn’t have been prouder. He and Frederick were already sharing a rented house and working together. They even made a bet to see who could bring a woman back first.

Now, it seemed that Shane was in the lead.

During their last encounter, Beatrix even took the initiative to ask him for a kiss. He wondered what hint she would give this time.

He pondered over this all night and could hardly sleep. In fact, he was already sleepless. He even took the time to write a love letter, determined to win over Beatrix today.

Shortly after, he knocked on the door of Beatrix’s office.

“Come in,” Beatrix replied, still engrossed in her work.

Shane entered without saying a word, wearing a sly smile.

Wow, Ms. Beatrix seems even more enchanting than before! If I can marry her and bring her to Hero’s Village, Master Drunkard would surely be overjoyed. He may even shed tears of joy. Anyway, I will become the second most respected person in Hero’s Village after Emmanuel. The woman I marry will be enough to make half of the village’s men envy me.

Beatrix didn’t hear any movement for a while. Suddenly, she looked up and was startled. Why is this annoying man staring at me with a smirk? He’s truly a psycho!
