    “Mr. Steven, why don’t you rest a bit longer?” Cam returned his nce with a subtle smile.


    “How could I let you wait here alone? That would not be considerate, wouldn’t it?” Steven said as he


    plopped down next to her, their shoulders almost touching.


    Cam, smiling, shifted slightly away, creating a distance of about half a meter between them.


    “Cam, no need to be nervous. How long have you been with Future Inc.?” Steven asked


    earnestly.

    “I was at a branch office before, only recently transferred to the headquarters.”


    “Ever thought about relocating to another city, like Southville?” His implication was clear.


    Cam shook her head with a smile.


    “You know, I think you don’t really need to work. Ever considered being ady of leisure?”


    “Mr. Steven, you are so funny. Shall we order? Mr. Connor and the others will be here shortly.”


    Cam moved a bit further away, cing the menu between them.


    Steven removed the menu and moved closer to Cam, his arm casually draping over her shoulder.


    Cam dodged smoothly, and Steven’s arm fell onto the empty space next to her. He stared at her


    profile, smiling and touching his lips. “Cam, Mr. Connor sent you to pick me up. Don’t you


    understand what he means?”


    Steven knew well. Every time someone came to pick him up, it was always a man. This was the first


    time Connor had deliberately sent a woman his way, and he was not about to let the opportunity


    slip. With such a beauty around, even if thepany’s performance was unsatisfactory, he wouldn’t


    pursue it. He had seen plenty of tactics of ying hard to get.


    “What do you mean?” Cam’s tone lost its deference, her eyes cold and sharp.


    Connor found out she wasn’t pregnant and sent her to Steven’s bed? What did Connor take her for?


    Or perhaps, was this how Future Inc. had grown so quickly, with contracts secured in this manner?


    “What do you mean?” Steven said, “Some things are too obvious to need spelling out.” He reached


    for Cam’s back, attempting to pull


    her close.


    Cam swiftly moved aside and threw the hot coffee in front of her into Steven’s face. “Mr. Steven,


    please show some respect.”


    “Damn it!” Steven jumped up, his face sshed with tea.


    “What the fuck did you just do!” He wiped his face furiously.


    The door to the private room was open, and with all themotion, the waitstaff gathered at the


    doorway, whispering among themselves. One of them handed Steven a towel.


    Steven, never having been so publicly humiliated, was furious. In the next moment, he grabbed


    Cam’s wrist. “You bitch!”


    Cam tried to push him away, and the waitstaff intervened to separate them. Amid the chaos, a


    figure rushed up and punched Steven in the face. Unprepared for the assault, Steven staggered


    back and fell onto a couch.


    Cam saw that the person who had hit Steven was Connor. His face was stern as he stared down


    at Steven, his gaze carrying an unspoken threat.


    He then turned to Cam, his expression softening, filled with guilt. “Are you alright?”


    Cam red silently at Connor, her heart seething with the desire to y him alive. Wasn’t this


    humtion all given by Connor? “Connor, you hit me? Believe it or not, I’ll pull my investment!”


    Steven clutched his bruised face,


    Connor turned around, his expression fearless. “Sure.”


    He nced at n, “n, contact the finance department to calcte the market value of all


    Steven’s shares for transfer, get the legal department to draft the transfer agreement, and have the


    administration department change tomorrow’s shareholders‘ meeting agenda to include the


    business alteration.”
