Chapter 76

    Chapter 76


    Amidst the silence, a bad–tempered man in the room spoke up.


    “Why should we move somece else, Miss Secretary? We’re all friends


    with Mr. Burke, so is there something we shouldn’t witness? Don’t worry,


    even if it’s really something private, we’ll just close our eyes.”


    When Victoria heard that, she frowned.


    She looked at the perverted man with a fierce re in her eyes.


    After being with ric for so long, Victoria was beginning to assimte his


    aura.


    As such, with just a re from Victoria, the man who spoke up was


    instantly scared into silence and withdrew slightly.


    When she moved her gaze away, the man finally realized what was going

    1. on.


    Damn, what’s wrong with me? How can I be scared of a little girl? Was I


    possessed? he thought.


    “Miss Selwyn, it might not be convenient for us to change ces. If you


    can’t take the smell, we can leave the door open to regte the airflow.


    How does that sound?” As Caleb spoke, he was grinning like a predatory


    tiger.

    A man beside him was quick to shout orders. “Hear that? Put out your


    cigarettes and stop smoking! What if Miss Selwyn chokes? She’s here to


    discuss a partnership. If there are any losses, you won’t be able to


    He sounded sarcastic, which Victoria found annoying.


    If she weren’t guiding Yasmin, she would’ve just turned around and left.


    She thought for a bit and decided to go over with Yasmin only after the

    Chapter 76 Do You Think I’m Here for Fun?


    smell had dissipated.

    Yasmin had been following behind Victoria at first, but after some thought,


    she realized that she would have to handle most things herself after


    Victoria left, so she took a few steps forward and stood next to Victoria.


    The room was rowdy and filled with people. Victoria picked out a rtively


    clean spot and sat down.


    Yasmin took a seat beside her, then skipped all the nonsense as she


    immediately took out the contract and said to Caleb, “Mr. Burke, this is the


    contract we’ve drafted. You can have a look-”


    Before she could finish speaking, Caleb’s friend fetched two sses for


    the women and immediately filled them up.


    Caleb was leaning back against the couch as he crossed his legs. He


    looked at them with a half–smile, saying, “Hey, beautiful. You don’t have to


    rush things. We’re here for fun, so you shouldn’t just start talking business.


    Chapter 76 Do You Think I’m Here for Fun?


    How boring that’d be! Have a drink and chat with us.”


    Yasmin instantly retracted the contract she had produced, not knowing


    what to do for a moment.


    Meanwhile, Victoria didn’t move as she sat there quietly. Her fair skin and


    beautiful features looked even more alluring under the lights.


    Caleb examined her, his fingers curling up as his gaze darkened


    considerably.


    She was wearing the simplest outfit, but she possessed a lethal dose of


    sensual attraction. Her long, porcin neck made her look like a proud


    swan as she sat there.


    Caleb gulped, feeling a little tempted. If it weren’t for ric meddling in his


    business, this proud swan would’ve been his by now.


    “Come on, pretty secretaries, don’t just sit there. Drink.”

    Yasmin was a timid person, so when they said that, she moved to take the


    ss. However, when she saw Victoria staying emotionless and


    She remembered Victoria telling her not to feed the greed of those


    people.


    “What’s the matter?” Noticing herck of movement, Caleb let go of the


    woman in his arms and leaned closer to Victoria. “Miss Selwyn, are you


    unwilling to humor me even once?”


    “He’s right. Miss Selwyn, it’s Mr. Burke we’re talking about. Can’t you humor


    him by drinking just one ss?”


    “We’re here for fun, anyway. Just drink it.”


    The crowd was egging her on, but Victoria simply nced at him with a


    cold look in her eyes. “Do you think I’m here for fun?”


    Chapter 76 Do You Think I’m Here for Fun?


    The smile on Caleb’s lips faded a little. If it were before, he would’ve been


    6/10


    more careful on ric’s ount, but he had heard some rumorstely, so


    he began pining for her again.


    At that thought, Caleb curved his lips once more and picked up the ss,


    then scooted over to Victoria.


    “Miss Selwyn, even if we’re talking business, you don’t have to be so


    serious. You worked so hard, but where did it get you? In the end, he still


    brought some woman to thepany in front of you. Now that things


    have turned out like this, you should make some ns for yourself, don’t


    you think so?”


    Victoria wondered why Caleb was extra reckless today, but she never


    thought it was because he had received this piece of news. She red at


    him with a look of disdain as if she were saying, ‘Even if I break up with


    ric, do you think you’d have a chance?‘


    Chapter 76 Do You Think I’m Here for Fun?


    Caleb almost lost his smile. He knew that Victoria always looked down on


    him.


    Be it before or after the Selwyns went bankrupt, no matter how hard he


    tried to pursue her, she never spared him a nce.

    “You’re giving me that look again.” He narrowed his eyes in annoyance,


    and his voice was tinted with unwillingness as he added, “Victoria, the


    Selwyns have gone bankrupt, and you only have your current position


    thanks to ric. What right do you have to look down on me? Do you think


    you’re still the oh–so–mighty daughter of the Selwyn Family?”


    He was on par with ric in all aspects, and if he got his hands on Victoria,


    he wouldn’t be like ric who coveted other women and brought them to


    work.


    However, the woman in front of him didn’t know what was good for her!


    Even though Caleb was furious to this extent, Victoria still looked at him


    coldly.


    “Say something.” Caleb gritted his teeth and red at Victoria.


    “Are you sure you want me to say it here?”


    “Yes!” Seeing her finally budge, he was a little excited.


    When his friends saw him like that, they couldn’t help but exchange


    nces.


    “To be honest, I’m not looking down on you. I just hate you.”


    When Caleb heard that, his expression froze. “What do you mean by that?”


    “Do you remember what you and your friend said at the hot spring vi


    five years ago?”


    “Five years ago? That’s too long ago, how can I-” Suddenly, Caleb


    Chapter 76 Do You Think I’m Here for Fun?


    remembered something, and his expression shifted.


    Back then, he learned that Victoria would be going to the hot spring, so he


    got his friend to tag along and look for Victoria.

    Caleb was a braggart, so when he went out of his room to look for Victoria,


    he boasted to his friend.


    “Dude, with someone like Victoria, I only have to move a few fingers to


    conquer her, eh?”


    His friend even retorted, “Forget it. The daughter of the Selwyn Family is


    super difficult to get. You have to work hard just to get her to give you


    another look.”


    “Tsk, why should I work hard for a mere woman? I’m just ying around,


    and I’ll get sick of her after a few days. Just wait and see. When she falls


    for me, I’ll break up with her right away.”


    Chapter 76 Do You Think I’m Here for Fun?


    His boasts slowly became clear in his mind, and every single sentence


    was like a heavy blow to him.


    Turns out she heard me boasting back then. No wonder…


    The two families were on good terms with each other, and every time he


    greeted Victoria, she would smile and nod in response.


    However, ever since that day, shepletely ignored him whenever he


    greeted her.
