“What’s wrong? Are you wary of me? Don’t worry. Miss Woodword, I’m not an evil person. It’s just that I’m usually really busy during the day, and I can only make time at night.”
Upon hearing that, Samantha had no choice but to agree. “Alright. I’ll send the draft to your place at 8.00PM tonight.
“By
the way, I don’t like strangers coming into my house, so it’s better if you come over on your own. Miss Woodword,” Milan added while Samantha tensed up. Is he trying to get me to go over to his place alone?
Nevertheless, she could only nod and go along with John’s requests because he was her customer. “Sure. I’ll be there at 8.00PM sharp”
“I’ll send you the address now.” Then, Milan hung up.
After the call, Samantha headed to Rose’s office and told her about the call before Rose pondered for a moment. From what I know, Milan Hughes is a well–known CEO without any bad rumors, so he probably won’t do anything that would cross the line.”
Samantha could only hope that things go smoothly tonight.
During the afternoon meeting, Joseph, who hadn’t shown up for three days, finally came. He looked even younger with his hair styled and his dark gray suit, while his facial features were cold as usual.
Samantha had her head lowered as she read the document while Ella, seated facing Samantha, kept fidgeting around and hoping that it would attract Joseph’s attraction.
“Samantha Woodword, focus on the meeting and stop doodling.” Rose suddenly called out.
As Samantha was indeed doodling in her notebook without paying attention to the meeting, she quickly straightened her posture and nodded with a flushed face. “Alright.”
After placing her pencil down obediently, her gaze met an upset pair of eyes, as if they were trying to tell her how disappointed they were by her actions.
To Joseph, Samantha was behaving like a stubborn kid who wouldn’t listen in class right now.
“Samantha, I hope that you’ll be able to learn how to respect other people in my company,” he suddenly demanded out of nowhere.
Immediately, a few snickers could be heard in the meeting room, as some of them were pleased that Samantha got lectured by the boss.
However, Samantha blinked before she propped her chin on her hand and smiled at Joseph. “Thanks for teaching me the right way to act, but I just want to be myself. President Xylon, you can always fire me if you don’t like me.”
Right then, only the sound of people gasping could be heard in the meeting room. Isn’t Samantha being a bit 100 courageous? How dare she speak to President Xylon in that manner?
Joseph wasn’t just the president of Filigree Jewelry Group. In fact, he was also supported by Xylon Corporation, making him a rich and powerful man. Hence, it would be dumb for anyone to try to cross Joseph.

Has Samantha gone mad?!

Rose got anxious as well. Then, she turned to Samantha and exclaimed, “Samantha, how could you speak to President Xylon like that?!”
Nevertheless, a playful glint flashed past Samantha’s gaze as she stared at Joseph intently. “President Xylon, would you like me to hand in my letter of resignation?
“Samantha, you can’t just resign when you still have to meet President Hughes tonight! Immediately, Rose tried to stop Samantha from angering Joseph any further.
Still, Joseph’s face darkened as he frowned before he turned to Rose. “Why is she meeting clients at night?”
Yet, the fact that Joseph asked her that question instead of getting angry made her confused before she quickly cleared her throat and replied, “One of our clients customized a set of jewelry, but he’s very busy and can only meet up at night, so Samantha will have to go over to the client’s place on her own tonight.”
“Tell that client that none of our employees work overtime. There won’t be any business dealings outside of working hours,” Joseph instructed coldly. From what he heard, President Hughes was definitely a man. and an ill–intentioned one at that.
“Umm… Well, we have already set the timing to meet up with the client,” Rose tried to explain again.
On the other hand, although Samantha could tell that Joseph was trying to help her out, she was still feeling rebellious and refused to listen to him.
“Don’t worry, Rose. I’ll surely meet up with President Hughes tonight without any delay.” She assured Rose about her outlook on this matter.
“I forbid you to go, Samantha, Joseph suddenly instructed sternly.
