The moment she turned her back, her tears burst out, all the pent-up emotions exploded at that instant.
"Skyler." A deep male voice came from behind her as she was crying her heart out.
...
Not long after the driver took Cornelia away from the farm, their path was blocked by a few cars. A man dressed in a black suit knocked on Cornelia's window, "Ms. Stewart, my boss would like you to get into that car."
The car the bodyguard pointed to was a Rolls-Royce. Not many people in the world could afford such a car. So, even without seeing the person in the car, Cornelia had a fair idea of who it might be.
Knowing she couldn't escape, she walked over and opened the car door, "Mr. Rivera, what's your game?"
Zavier's handsome face appeared before her eyes, he smiled and said, "Relax, Ms. Stewart. You're Marc's assistant, I wouldn't dare mess with you. I've admired you for a long time and wanted to invite you to dinner."
His words turned Cornelia pale with fear, "Did you bug Skyler's house?"
Otherwise, there was no way he could know about her conversation with Skyler last night. This man was terrifying!
Zavier didn't respond to Cornelia's question, "Ms. Stewart, please get in the car."
Cornelia said, “We’re not close, there’s no need for us to have dinner together.”
Zavier said, "We're not close? We've met a few times outside of work at Marc's private parties. I know you like the back of my hand, yet you say we're not close. That hurts my feelings."
Cornelia knew Zavier wouldn't let her go, but he wouldn't harm her either.
She got into the car, sitting next to Zavier, "Mr. Rivera, spit it out, whatever you want to discuss."
Zavier ordered the driver to go. The driver stepped on the gas and the car shot out like an arrow. The speed was so fast that Cornelia had no time to react.
She forced herself to stay calm, "Mr. Rivera, where are you taking me?"
