A Night with Her Cruel Mate

Chapter 100 She Seduced Me

"Maybe," Terence said lightly. "I’m worried about Jean not having anyone around her now."

"You are worried about Jean?" Nelson asked with a smirk on his face as if mocking. "Are you still sympathizing with her? Hey, does she have anything to do with you?"

"Nelson, Jean and I are friends. Is there anything wrong?" Terence’s face turned into a frown.

"Of course there is! Don’t you know that rumors are going around about what’s going on between the two of you?" said Nelson, obviously feeling very distressed about the matter.

"So what? There have been many gossips going about me these past years. And we all know, they are all fake. So, why should I give a damn?" Terence asked.

Nelson laughed sarcastically and said, "I’m afraid someone will take the rumors seriously." NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

"What do you mean by that?" Terence shook his head while still frowning.

"There are so many people in the hospital. It’s a little near to impossible that no one will recognize you. If they will, it can be used as solid evidence for your love affair with her. Do you have any idea how Julia will feel if she ever sees the news about it?" Nelson asked coldly. "Don’t tell me that you don’t care about Julia’s feelings. We’ve known each other for years, and I know exactly what you’re thinking about."

"You are overanalyzing this. Julia and I are already divorced. How many times do I have to repeat that? And in the future, I might marry Jean." Terence was lightly massaging his temples.

"What?" Hearing that from Terence, Nelson lost it. Smiling bitterly, he looked at Terence and said, "Well, you are just being stubborn. I want to see if you can be as calm as you are right now after Julia fall in love with another man."

He took a short breath and continued, "By then, don’t ask me out to drink with you. I won’t be available!"

Terence was amused when he saw Nelson’s retreating figure.

He thought of what Nelson recently said to him and the possibility of it. There was a lump in his throat.

The next day, Terence went to work first thing in the morning. It was the peak season, and he had tons of work to do. Quite rushing, he planned to go straight to his office while drinking his morning coffee. Unexpectedly, when he arrived, Felix was already waiting at the company’s entrance.

Since Felix didn’t have an appointment with him for that day, the receptionist didn’t let him go upstairs. He was only allowed at the entrance hallway, hoping he would see Terence and explain everything that happened the other night.

"Mr. Chen…" A smile flashed on Felix’s face as he saw Terence. He hurriedly walked towards him and said, "I’m glad to see you."

But Felix was stopped by Terence’s bodyguard before he could get closer to him. The guard only let him stand three meters away from Terence. He said, "Mr. Chen, it was really a mistake. Can you please give me some time to explain it?"

Terence looked at him and said calmly, "Sure. Come with me."

When Felix saw him nod, he was relieved. Terence walked before him, going to his office.

Felix was about to start explaining, but he was interrupted when Terence reached for the internal phone. Holding the phone, he ordered, "Alice, bring me Sunrise Company's contract."

Upon hearing what he said, Felix's stomach turned upside down. The room air conditioner was turned on, but he felt small beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

"Mr. Chen, I…" When he was about to speak, Terence interrupted him again. "Mr. Yang, I’m really sorry. Can you please wait for a moment? I have two contracts to check. So, let’s start discussing when your company's contract arrives."

"Okay…" Felix listened and just sat there patiently.

After a short while, Terence’s secretary, Alice, brought the contract. "Mr. Chen, Mr. Yang has already seen the contract. If nothing goes wrong, this contract will make our company's stock price increase by about 3%. You may review it again, and if you don’t have any more concern, you may sign it now."

Pleased by what Alice said, Felix looked down, trying to hide his happiness. He wanted a partnership with HT Group to get more benefits. And he was more confident that the company would give him more profit.

However, before Felix could cheer himself up, Terence spoke again without even looking at him. "No. Well, Alice, I don’t care about the increase of the shares. Now that Mr. Yang is here, give the contract to him and ask him to go out with it.

Oh by the way, all the partnership with Sunrise Company should be terminated. And you don't need to report it to me."

"But Mr. Chen…" Alice frowned out of confusion. She remembered that the company decided that they would sign the contract yesterday. It puzzled her how everything had changed after a night.

"Do I have repeat what I just said?" Terence asked calmly, yet firmly.

"No, Mr. Chen. You don’t have to…" Alice answered instantly. Terence was her boss, she had to do it.

"Mr. Yang…" Alice walked near to Felix and sympathetically smiled at him with a hint of sadness. She handed him the contract and gestured for him to leave. "Please."

"Mr. Chen." Felix looked at Terence with disbelief, wondering what happened. Did Terence let go of a partnership with them just because of a woman?

"Close the door when you leave," Terence commanded without even raising his head.

He didn’t do it because of Jean. After what happened the other day, Terence started doubting Felix’s morality. Such a person would never be a good partner, he believed.

That was why he weighed things first and took everything into consideration before arriving at his decision.

Felix realized that he wouldn’t be able to turn things around. However, he was really angry and provoked about what happened the other day.

He stood up, but rather heading straight outside, he stepped towards Terence instead. Looking at him, he said, "I know you're looking down on me now. But whether you believe me or not, I'll explain it to you clearly. "

He sighed and continued, "Yes, I admit that I had an inappropriate desire for Jean. But I am surrounded by countless women. Do you think I have to force a woman?"

Terence lowered his head and said nothing. Felix continued, "In fact, Jean was the first who showed some motives and acted upon it. When I entered the room, she started to seduce me. But when I did something more, she began to resist. She even hit my head with an ashtray. I was furious and thus, I did such a thing."

"You mean Jean seduced you?" Terence finally raised his head and coldly looked at Felix.

"That's right," Felix nodded. "She seduced me first."
