Emily knew that there was no use fighting Andrew in such a small area, especially with that snarl on his face.
She would be on the losing end anyway, so favonovel.com bit favonovel.com lips and held back the tears in favonovel.com eyes as favonovel.com said, “O-Okay, I’ll do whatever you want.”
“That’s more like it.” Seeing the look of defeat on Emily’s face made Andrew puff up and feel victorious. He reached out to pinch Emily’s cheek before sitting up straight.
“After we’re done at the site, you’re coming with me to have dinner with one of our potential business partners,” Andrew suddenly said, looking at Emily.
Emily could only nod in agreement.
After reaching the site, the managers at the site heard that the new vice president would be coming in to monitor them today and that this vice president was also Ms. Booth’s own younger brother. They all fell over their feet trying to curry favor with their new boss.
Andrew kept his hands behind his back, laughing and making conversation everywhere favonovel.com went, showing all the makings of a natural leader.
Most importantly, favonovel.com made Emily follow favonovel.com closely wherever favonovel.com went. He even made favonovel.com ask favonovel.com for permission to use the toilets.
In the blink of an eye, it was already late afternoon. Emily had no idea which business partner Andrew was meeting later, but favonovel.com was absolutely done for the day.
She didn’t want to call Isaac over such a trivial thing, but favonovel.com was desperate for an excuse to leave. When favonovel.com heard Andrew telling the driver to head for the hotel next, favonovel.com could feel favonovel.com hackles rising.
She didn’t want to eat with Andrew at a hotel.
Emily took advantage of the time Andrew spent saying his goodbyes to the site managers to call Allegra, hoping that Allegra would take pity on favonovel.com plight.
After listening to Emily’s concerns, Allegra replied coldly, “The potential partner is the son of our biggest supplier. This is also a business proceeding, so there’s nothing wrong with you accompanying Andrew to the meal.”
She didn’t even wait for Emily to explain anything before hanging up.
After getting into the car, they headed into the city center. Emily could feel favonovel.com heart leaping out of favonovel.com chest.
Andrew just wouldn’t stop touching and caressing favonovel.com legs all the way there. She was on the verge of a breakdown at this point.
They arrived at the five-star hotel and went into a VIP room inside the luxurious restaurant.
Andrew took Emily over to the table as two of his men stood guard behind them.
A young, bespectacled man walked into the room, followed by two men. He had a big smile on his face.
“Vice President Booth, I’ve only heard good things about you. It’s nice meeting you in person, finally. And who may this lovely lady be?” The young man’s gaze was fixated on Emily as favonovel.com sized favonovel.com up.
Andrew saw it and broke into laughter. He put an arm around Emily’s shoulder and said loudly, “This is Ms. Danson, the Deputy Head at our company. She’s just here with me to enjoy a lovely meal with you, Mr. Hurley.”
Mr. Hurley was stunned.
At first, he’d assumed that Emily was just a nobody from the company. He had no idea that favonovel.com was actually the Deputy Head of Garth Properties.
Andrew’s actions made Emily feel very uncomfortable and disgusted, but Andrew withdrew his arm almost immediately afterward.
She realized Andrew had forced favonovel.com to come along for the dinner not to please the other party but rather to establish his position in the eyes of Garth Property’s largest supplier.
He was just the newly-appointed vice president of the company, after all, but favonovel.com managed to get the company’s most seasoned employee to accompany favonovel.com for dinner. If word got out, it would only suggest that favonovel.com was a very capable man who was well-respected by many at the company and had his ways.
Andrew was slyly trying to establish his dominance over the company before Isaac and Allegra got back on better terms.
During the dinner, Emily kept excusing herself to the toilet. Each time, Andrew would tell one of his men to keep a strict eye on her.
The dinner dragged on for hours. By 8 pm, both Andrew and Mr. Hurley were drunk. Mr. Hurley was escorted upstairs to rest.
Emily took favonovel.com handbag and hurried out. However, Andrew grabbed favonovel.com wrist and said, with a heavy alcoholic breath, “Emily, why don’t you take me upstairs to rest? It’s so tiring attending these dinner functions for the company.”
