    The we kept trying to drink and add Dale on WhatsApp, but he only responded faintly. “Sorry, I took


    some medicine beforeing, so I’m allergic to alcohol


    If you have any questions, I can give you the WhatsApp of a performance coach for one–on–one


    professional guidance, though it’s a bit expensive”


    Valerie watched from across the table, surprised that Dale remained unmoved. He really did seem


    like a gentleman, which made her wonder if she had misjudged him.


    Valerie thought. But I shouldn’t have made a mistake. I have seen that shirt!”


    What Valerie didn’t know was that Dale’s target was her, and he was looking for a woman with


    resources.


    For a neer like these actresses, he considered them a waste of time. With his own resources


    limited, he had no intention of supporting others.


    Valerie took a deep breath and thought, Could it be that I have really misunderstood Dale? This left


    her somewhat stunned.


    Half an hour into the dinner, the two new actresses were unable toplete their task. Although


    Dale reluctantly added them on WhatsApp, he was clearly uninterested in responding.


    They felt deted, never having encountered a man like this before.


    They had prepared specially for today, but Dale didn’t give them a second nce.


    One of them got up. Tm going to the restroom.”


    “Me too!”


    After they left, Matthew’s phone rang. He nced at the screen and said, “Sorry.”


    He stepped outside with the phone, and just as he left, Dale began to act. He brought a ss of


    orange juice to Valerie.

    He said, “Valerie, let’s have a drink together! I didn’t expect you to seek this coboration with Mr.


    Grant for me!*


    Valerie was shocked and thought, ‘His thinking was indeed unusual. He actually thought I had


    sought this opportunity. Nevertheless, she raised her ss.


    One shouldn’t refuse a kind gesture. Dale was thanking her, and since the project with the Noria


    Group was genuine, it was only polite.


    She took a sip, and Dale immediately smiled, realizing she had indeed helped him with this


    opportunity.


    Dale said, “Thank you for thinking of me at this time. Valerie, you know, I liked you the first time I


    met you, but I was too shy to say it because Mr. Grant was around.


    “But now that you’ve helped me, I can’t ignore my feelings. If you’re willing, I can do anything for


    you!”


    Valerie was stunned. “What… What do you want to do?”


    Seeing her blush, Dale thought she was just shy and smiled. “Stop pretending. I know you’re


    interested in me. We’re not teenagers who don’t understand anything; we’re adults now!


    “Equitable exchange is fine. If you introduce me to resources, you can y around as you like!”


    He leaned close to Valerie, whispering in her ear, and drank the orange juice in what he thought was


    a charming manner.

    O


    Valene was barred, feeling sick of bet stomach, almost on the verge of vomiting.


    Get Var! Valerie said angrife


    Dale scoffed, Stop pretending. You’ve Already made your move, and now you want the to leave?


    You must have wanted this all along?”


    He denied to interace Valerie, but suddenly the door burst open. Matthew strode in and grabbed


    Dale by the neck. Dale was instantly eravedl


    “‘s just a misunderstanding Mr. Grant, it’s all a misunderstanding!”


    Matthew was intimidating, and Dale quickly backed down, pointing at Valerie. “She’s the one who


    seduced me!”


    Dale was expected to be a scumbag, but this man’s behavior was even more despicable and


    shameless than anticipated.


    Matthew was about to hit him and even cklist him, but Valerie suddenly held him back. “It’s all a


    misunderstanding. Let him go!


    Matthew was surprised but seeing Valerie’s expression, he knew she must have another n, so he


    let go with a fierce re.


    Dale clutched his neck, still shaken. He hadn’t expected Matthew to be so aggressive and almost


    kill him with a single move.


    Dale thought, ‘Now it seems Valerie really has feelings for me and risked everything to save me at a


    critical moment. Despite being captivated by my charm, Valerie still pretended. This woman is such


    a pretender!


    But that is fine. If she has feelings for me, I will have my way with her!


    Dale imagined his status in the entertainment industry rising, possibly even further.


    At this point, Valerie was furious. She had initially thought she had misunderstood him, but now she


    was sure he was a scumbag.


    His character was too poor. Since he was so shameless, there was no chance of him getting what


    he wanted.


    Valerie poured him another ss of wine. “This drink is your punishment. You must drink it, or you


    won’t be leaving tonight!”


    “I’ll toast you with this drink instead of wine! Here’s to a pleasant coboration!”


    Dale tried to refuse, but Valerie said, “This is wine brewed by Mr. Morse. You should try it!”


    Dale, hearing it was Danny’s wine, agreed readily.


    Valerie’s eyes shed with a hint of darkness as she coldly smiled. She thought, ‘Drink up. This


    time, I’ll make sure you get what you deserve!


    Dale finished the drink and praised, “This really is good wine!”


    “Of course. The wine I gave you is the best. Drink a couple more sses!”


    Valerie poured him another ss. Seeing Matthew’s expression, Dale dared not refuse and drank it


    all.
