Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 328

"He deserves it as he likes to paw others! Maybe he has offended some big shot this time and was thus schemed against."

Farley was that good-looking but immoral male employee who held Jessica downstairs.

As the employees saw Angela, they stopped talking and greeted her.

"Take it easy. I'm just an employee like you," said Angela as she smiled at them and went into the elevator.

'It should be Jessica who fixed Farley as he was revenged on by Jessica soon after he pawed her this noon,' thought Angela.

'James is right. Jessica has been on the verge of collapse.'

Angela went to see a big client with Violet Lee in the afternoon.

In the following day, Angela learned some basic cashier works with the cashier Liu as required by Violet.

When Angela got off work, James came to pick her up to the dinner party.

Angela was stunned for a moment when she saw James as he looked more handsome than usual. Apart from wearing a black suit as before, James wore a bow tie and had his hair styled.

"Silly?" said James as he reached up to flick her on the forehead.

Angela came to her sense with her face burning and said, "...the suit you wear today is fabulous."

"Only the suit? What about me?" asked James as he opened the car door and closed the door after Angela got into the car and walked around to get into the driver's seat.

With a pause, Angela said dryly, "You are fabulous, too."

"Thank you," chuckled James as he started the car, "but you are more fabulous. I'll never bored with looking at you."

Licking her lips, Angela opened and shut her mouth as she had no idea how to respond.

"How's your work today?" asked James as he turned to looked at Angela. Her eyebrows, her eyes, her nose and her mouth, he never had enough of her.

Speaking of work, Angela smiled, "I learned with Cashier Liu the whole day. I felt not bad and Liu praised me in front of Ms. Lee who seemed to be satisfied with me too.

"Liu might praise you because of your identity," said James.

The corners of the mouth of Angela was a little downward.

"But Ms. Lee must praise you for your strength," said James as he couldn't help gently pulling her cheek.

Angela slapped away the hand of James, the corners of her mouth raised again.

After taking Angela to have her hair styled, James drove her to the hotel where the party was held.

It was an extremely expensive five-star hotel in the B CITY. If anyone wanted to hold a party there, he/she needed to be not only rich, but also important and powerful.

When Angela and James arrived at the hotel, there were already rows of luxury cars parked at the gate.

Unlike the grand entrance in the wedding of Denise Brown last time, there was no red carpet, reporters, or groups of bodyguards except for the luxury cars, looking quite low-key.

After they entered the hotel, a greeter came to check their invitation card and led them to the third floor where the party was held.

Thanks to their outstanding appearances and special identities, they caught everybody's eyes as soon as they showed up.

"Wow, your dress is gorgeous, Angela!" said Raya as she bounced to Angela with bright eyes, "So are your hair and jewellery! You are gorgeous today!"

Sean followed Raya with a smile. Seeing that her eyes were sticking to Angela, Sean coughed discontentedly.

Raya didn't notice it at all and was still praising Angela.

"Manage your woman!" said Sean as he came to James depressedly and pushed his wire-rimmed glasses, "She has taken my buddy from me. Is she going to take my wife from me now?"

Giving a squint at Sean, James said, "Why don't you manage Raya?"

Sean was speechless for quite a while.

'If I can manage Raya, will I ask you to manage Angela?' thought Sean.

"Let's go to see a person who may be useful to you in the future," said James when Angela and Raya were almost done.

After taking leave of Raya, Angela went to see Sutton, who was the sugar daddy of Gabriela, with James.

Sutton was standing impassively in the crowd with graceful woman beside him. He sometimes nodded or said a few words.

Seeing that James and Angela were coming to him, he excused himself to the people beside him and went up to James and Angela with the woman.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Harvey and Miss Chante. You are so well-matched," said the woman as she reached out her hand," and let me introduce myself. I'm Dorsey Wong, Sutton's fiancee."

With a smile, Angela gently shook hands with her and said, "Nice to meet you too, Miss Wong."

"You can talk on the other side. I have something to talk with Mr. Harvey," ordered Sutton to Dorsey.

With a smile, Dorsey was going to say something when James interrupted, "She can stay here."

Sutton turned to say thoughtfully to Dorsey, "You can talk with other ladies here."

"Okay," said Dorsey as she glanced at Angela with envy and left.

Angela was a little surprised as she didn't expect that James would let her stay.

James talked about a lot of business matters with Sutton, including the overall development direction of the Harvey Group in the future as well as influence of the complicated relations between the few big families in the country on the business.

They seemed to be have a tacit understanding as one had guessed the idea of the other before the latter finished his words.

As a business newbie, Angela had difficulty in understanding the deeper meaning in their words.

"Do you want her to know the thing about Lawson?" asked Sutton as he glanced at Angela coldly.

"Just say it," said James without hesitation.

Fearing that Angela would feel too embarrassed and bored, James asked the waiter to bring her a plate of dessert.

Seeing that, Sutton sniffed, "I have expected that you are different."

'It turns out that James is another man obsessed with a woman,' thought Sutton.

"I'm just an ordinary man. You've thought too high of me, Sutton," said James casually.

Then Sutton went straight to the point by saying, "There has been a new breakthrough in the treatment of lung cancer. My guys have blocked the news and the clinical trial will be delayed for one year. Lawson has been at the advanced stage of lung cancer, so he has not much time to wait."

"I owe you one this time," said James.

This had been the only time Angela understood what they were talking about do far. She was pinching a small piece of dessert with her fingers slightly trembling and her heart pounding.

'This is an indirect homicide!' thought Angela.

Seeing the fear of Angela, Sutton looked at her disdainfully and sneeringly.

With a slight frown, James chuckled, "Gabriela is here too and the man next to her looks great."
