Trapped in Love

Chapter 2 Humiliation

Soon, the door opened. Henry appeared in the doorway, wearing a loose bathrobe. His piercing green eyes locked onto Casey, with a predatory gaze. Caroline’s heart skipped a beat, but she forced a smile for the sake of the 70,000 dollars commission.

“Monsieur Devereaux, sorry to disturb you,” she said, stepping into the presidential suite.

Henry shrugged and flashed her a smile. “Ms. Shenton, I’ve been waiting for you.”

Caroline’s heart was racing, but she maintained her composure and placed the prepared contract on the coffee table.

She subtly scanned the presidential suite from the corner of her eye, taking note of every detail.

Once Henry took a seat on the sofa, Caroline retracted her gaze and sat down as well, keeping a slight distance from him.

Henry handed her a glass of wine, and Caroline clinked her glass against his. “Thank you for your hospitality, Monsieur Devereaux.”

Henry’s eyes lit up. “Ms. Shenton, you’re very smart, and you’re not shy. I like it!”

Caroline forced a smile, aware of the need to impress Henry for the contract. With a slight tilt of her head, she downed the red wine in her hand.

Yet, Henry’s face expressed a hint of pity. “Impressive, but you wouldn’t expect one glass to seal the deal now, would you?”

Putting down her wine glass, she responded, “Monsieur Devereaux, I understand that you’ve expressed interest in working with MK for some time now. Surely you are familiar with MK’s prowess in the
