Gwen, who was planning to return to her friends, also came closer to the room and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?” Still, Nathan didn’t say a word and simply pricked up his ears to listen to the movement in the private room.
As he expected, the atmosphere in the private room was indeed tense. At first, this man known as President Cook took the initiative to invite Kate to discuss a collaboration. Upon hearing that, Kate was pleased and prepared a proposal in advance. But, the man was not here to discuss the collaboration at all. In fact, he was here for another type of “business.”
Initially, the president wanted to force her to drink, but then he changed his mind to link their arms while drinking. Kate laughed at that idea, explaining that the ceremony had to be done with the person she loved, so she declined. After that, President Cook sat beside Kate and attempted to touch her hand, but she casually avoided it.
Still, he didn’t stop in his advances. Now, he even groped Kate’s buttocks. At once, Kate was so surprised that she hurriedly stood up, and she finally told him to conduct himself.
Despite that, the man had no remorse and continued taking advantage of her. He even looked at her funny. “Miss Thomas, what’s with the big reaction? Don’t you want to discuss the collaboration? You’re not showing any sincerity at all.”
When Kate heard that, her face immediately darkened. Holding back her anger, she said, ‘I’m sorry, but I don’t think we can continue the discussion. You can find more opportunities with other companies. I have already paid the bill; please enjoy the meal. I will take my leave now.”
As she said that, Kate grabbed her purse and tried to leave. However, the man sneered and tugged at her purse. “Leave? You think you can leave after you’ve stepped into this room?”
Noticing something was wrong, Kate frowned. “What are you trying to do?”
The man leaned on the chair, and his lips twitched. “Do you really think I’m here for your cheap magazine company? You wouldn’t show your sincerity by accepting this drink. How dare you treat me like that?”
After hearing that, Kate stood on the spot and. said indifferently, “I would drink the wine, but you’ve gone too far and groped my buttocks. Now, please excuse me.”
Saying that, she tugged her purse and wanted. to leave. But before she could take another step, another man stood up and stopped her. He uttered coldly, ‘Drink this to get the contract. Otherwise, don’t even think about leaving this room!”
Kate knew that this man was President Cook’s bodyguard. Then, she suddenly understood that she had been fooled. With the realization, she raised her hand and smashed her purse on his head.
While the man was shielding his head, Kate rushed over to the door. But before she could turn the doorknob, her hair was grabbed from behind and she was forced to step back, knocking over the wine bottle on the table and smashing it on the ground. At once, Kate struggled and shouted, “You b*stard! Let me go! Someone, please, save me! Save me=”
Before Kate could finish shouting, she was slapped on the face. “F*ck you! Shame on you!” President Cook scolded. The slap was so powerful that Kate felt her mind buzzing, with a persistent ringing in her ears as if hundreds of bees were flying in her head.
After that, President Cook instructed his bodyguard, “Force this wine down her throat! Let’s see if she can still act this crazy!”
As he said that, he dropped a white pill into the glass and then lightly shook it. After that, he handed the glass to the bodyguard. The bodyguard clenched her neck. With his free” hand, he took the glass and forced Kate to down the contents of the glass.
Of course, Kate knew that the pill was suspicious. She resisted desperately, using both arms and legs, but her strength was no match for a big guy like him. At this moment, Kate was at a disadvantage as if she was a prey in a trap..
