Novel Sweet
Chapter 35
Loraine’s first instinct was to decline the invitation. However, she reasoned that it would be rude. The party would afford her the opportunity to get to know her colleagues, so she had to agree.
Everyone in the department went to Fwell Bar together after closing hours.
Under the neon lights, there was a crowd wiggling crazily on the dance floor. The air reeked of booze and cigarettes, making the atmosphere erotic.
Loraine didn’t join them. She just sat away from the lights, feeling very bored. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
It was at this moment that Barry brought over two glasses of wine and sat next to her.
“Loraine, I heard that Vickie was hard on you during the interview, and that it was Mr. Benton who came to your rescue. Did you know him before that day?”
“No, not at all. However, I’m grateful that he hired me. It’s a great opportunity to work in Universe Group.”
Loraine didn’t want to expose her true identity, so she denied knowing
Cayson.
An evil glint shone in Barry’s eyes as he took a sip of the wine.
He felt relieved to learn that Loraine had only been fortunate to meet
Cayson on the day of the interview.
It was alleged that she was dating him, so this made her ex-husband cut all ties with her. She had no one to help her now.
Barry Licked his Lips as his conniving mind put two and two together.
In his eyes, Loraine was the perfect prey. He felt that nothing would happen to him if he took advantage of her.
Barry put on a fake smile again and held out the glass of wine he had prepared for her.
“Here you go, beautiful. Let’s drink together.”
At the same time, he leaned toward her and tried to kiss her.
Loraine shifted away from him in a hurry.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Gray. I can’t drink.”
“Don’t turn down my kindness. I threw this party for you!” Barry said.
“Listen to me. Just drink the wine. If you behave obediently, I will protect you in the company from now on. I promise to put you on all the top projects.”
Goose bumps popped up on Loraine’s skin when she noticed his perverted gaze.
