Garrett was also having a hard time lately. After being rejected by Laney, he knew he couldn't keep pestering her, but he couldn't forget about her either.
Tonight, he was supposed to meet a client in the club.
In low spirits, Garrett planned to leave as soon as the contract was signed.
The woman he was meeting with was the representative of the partnering company. During the negotiation, she deliberately stood up and poured tea for Garrett. At first, Garrett didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. However, as she bent over to pour him some tea, she deliberately pulled down her collar, revealing the top half of her plump breasts.
Garrett couldn't help but feel disgusted. He turned his face away, took a sip of tea, and said irritably, "If you want to talk business, go straight to the point."
The woman probably didn't catch the anger in his voice. She batted her eyelashes at him coquettishly and said, "Mr. Harding, don't you remember me? We met in a business meeting three years ago, and I've never stopped thinking about you since then..."
In that moment, Garrett lost any semblance of patience he had left. He stood up, splashed the tea on the woman's face, and scolded, "If you wanted to talk about cooperating, you shouldn't have played these little tricks. Since you're clearly not here to talk business, I'll take it as a sign that you've given up the opportunity to work together with us."
After saying that, he took his coat and left directly, ignoring the woman's shocked expression.
Now, Garrett was even more annoyed. Not knowing where else to go, he decided to book himself another luxurious private room and ordered some wine. After all, he was a VIP at this club.
He had planned to get plastered, but soon, he felt an indescribably heat all over his body.
Coincidentally, a middle-aged woman entered the room with two bar girls. All of them were wearing heavy make-up and skimpy clothes.
Garrett's eyes flashed in annoyance. Why did they all have to wear such heavy makeup? Laney never put on any makeup at all. She had a natural beauty about her. Garrett imagined her delicate face must be very soft, but he couldn't know for sure because he hadn't kissed her yet.
