Chapter 201

    Chapter 201


    The rain grew heavier, and the corridor was almost flooded.


    Victoria tugged at the scarf around her, surprised that the weather in Corynthea was


    this cold. She fell into a daze after standing still, recalling the ‘Mr. Cadogan‘ she


    heard earlier…


    As usual, she didn’t feel anything when she heard the surname. That said, she knew


    the ‘Mr. Cadogan‘ from tonight was different from the person she had encountered


    at her job earlier.


    This was Corynthea; she was in Jasea. Only one person with thisst name could


    casually afford 85 million and be invited here.


    It’s been five years since west met… She took a deep breath and walked in


    another direction.


    “Miss Selwyn,”


    She had only taken a few steps when a tall, dashing figure blocked her path.


    Victoria looked toward the man, slightly stumped.

    He was dressed in a blue suit with a meticulously tied tie. When he saw her look up,


    he smiled and introduced himself, saying, “Hello, I’m Jordan Floyd.”


    2/7


    Jordan Floyd? The heir of the Floyd Family that Ethan and I were talking about?


    At the sight of her being lost in thought, Jordan quirked a brow. “Do you not


    recognize me, Miss Selwyn? I’ve sent you several job invitations. Isn’t it a little


    hurtful that you don’t know who I am?”


    “Not really.” Victoria returned the handshake. “I was just wondering why you’d be


    here.”


    She’d be lying if she said she recognized the new heir of Floyd Corporation, for she


    was too busy to check. However, that didn’t stop her from faking it.


    If she were to open apany in Jasea, she’d have to establish good rtionships


    with these enterprises.


    Her hand was soft and lovely, and Jordan was stumped for a moment when he held


    it before eventuallying around, for she had withdrawn her hand as soon as their


    palms made contact.


    In the meantime, Jordan sized her up for a few seconds before asking, “Why are you

    Chapter 201 Return It to Him Personally


    out here, Miss Selwyn?”


    “To catch some fresh air.”


    “I see.” Jordan quirked a brow. “By the way, Miss Selwyn, may I ask why you’ve


    repeatedly rejected my job invitations? After all, the conditions I offered were much


    better than what you received in your previous job.”


    Victoria thought for a moment and decided not to mention her n of starting a


    personal reasons. It has nothing to do with your offer.”


    He wasn’t an unreasonable hooligan either, so he didn’t press on when she said it


    was personal. “Well, I can only hope that your private matters can be resolved soon


    so that I can invite you to join Floyd Corporation.”


    She was taken aback by that, and she was just about to speak up when Jordan


    removed his suit jacket and draped it around her. “I suggest that you dress warmer


    next time, Miss Selwyn, lest you catch a cold.”


    While the young woman was still processing the situation, Jordan bid her adieu,


    walking away with his assistant. “I have something else to attend to. See you.”

    Victoria parted her lips, wanting to call him back when Jordan returned with his


    assistant. “By the way, Miss Selwyn, I forgot to ask for your contact information


    earlier.”


    After that, Jordan left beaming, satisfied. Meanwhile, his assistant followed behind


    him cautiously and asked, “Mr. Floyd, do you not feel cold when you’ve given your


    jacket to Miss Selwyn?”


    “The cold never bothered me anyway.” Jordan quirked a brow with delight. “The


    most important thing now is to win her favor.”


    His assistant gazed silently at him in response.


    “What’s with that look? Weren’t you the one who suggested that I win her over with


    my looks?”


    The assistant scratched his head. How has it be my fault now? Besides, I was


    only joking!


    Victoria only came to her senses after Jordan left, and she quickly removed his


    jacket. She tried to catch up to him, but the man was nowhere to be found.


    At that, she could only turn back around and hand the jacket to a staff member at

    the venue entrance. “Hi, could you please help me return this jacket to Mr. Floyd

    The staff member had been eavesdropping on their conversation earlier. There were


    rumors about Jordan being flirtatious and having various romantic encounters, but


    they didn’t expect him to be so forward as to give his jacket to a beautiful woman he


    just met at the venue.


    As staff members, they dared not take the jacket from her. After all, it was given to


    her by Jordan, which was a signal of his interest in her.


    “I’m sorry, miss, but I suggest you return it to Mr. Floyd personally since he was the


    one who gave it to you.”


    “I don’t know where he’s gone off to, though!” Victoria argued, to which the staff


    member countered, “Haven’t you exchanged contact information with Mr. Floyd?”


    Victoria fell silent at that. Let me guess–you’ve been standing here watching the


    drama unfold, haven’t you?


    Seeing that she remained rooted on the spot, the staff member aside exined, “It’s


    not that we don’t want to help you, miss, but we’re only staff members of the venue.


    We barely have any chance of meeting Mr. Floyd, so it’s improbable that we can


    Chapter 201 Return It to Him Personally


    return the jacket on your behalf even if you hand it to us.”


    Victoria thought they had a point, so she gave up insisting. “Alright, thank you.”


    After taking a nce at the hall and the lobby, she asked, “Can I take a break.


    outside?”


    “Of course.” The staff members immediately offered their assistance. “Allow me to


    escort you.”


    To head from here to the other side, an umbre was needed. The staff member


    held an umbre and escorted her, and after they arrived, Victoria thanked them


    with a smile. “Thank you for apanying me.”


    Victoria was beautiful with fair skin. Her waist–length hair was naturally ck, giving


    her a pure and charming look when it cascaded down on both sides of her


    shoulders.


    Moreover, anyone standing close to her could smell a faint and pleasant fragrance


    from Victoria. It was indiscernible which perfume it was, but it felt pleasant.


    The staff member blushed instantly when the beauty thanked him. “No, you’re too


    kind. I’ll take my leave now.”

    “Sure.” Victoria surveyed the lobby after the staff member left and ultimately went


    toward a corner.

    After sitting down and texting Ethan, she received a text from Fiona, asking, ‘Has the


    auction ended, love? Will you apany me to the bar tonight?‘


    Victoria had intended to decline, but thinking about how Fiona had stayed at home


    to watch her babies for her, she softened up. ‘I’ll go to you once it’s over.’


    Sometimeter, people began dispersing from the venue, and Victoria noticed the


    crowd moving toward her. However, because of the downpour outside, many people


    gathered in the lobby.


    When Victoria got up to search for Ethan at the exit, a familiar figure inadvertently

    entered her line of sight.


    The man was slender and wore a ssic white dress shirt and ck suitbo,


    with a cold and aloof expression, his exposed emotions giving his handsome face a


    sharp and intense aura.
