Chapter 311
Harvey looked at her red and swollen eyes and frowned. "Clean yourself up quickly. Don't scare my
client away."
Embarrassed, she nodded immediately. "Don't worry, Mr. Specter."
In the evening, Nora did not expect to meet the client at the nightclub. She hesitated and saw that her
boss was urging her, so she had to follow him.
In the private room, several bosses sat on the sofa and immediately got up to greet them after seeing
them.
"Oh, Mr. Specter is here. Please take a seat."
"Who is this beauty? She's pretty." One of the bosses stepped forward and put his arm around Nora's
shoulder.
Nora was startled and immediately dodged. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room was a little
awkward, and the boss immediately became unhappy.
Harvey frowned, stood up, and tried to mediate the dispute, then he glared at Nora fiercely. "What are
you doing? Quick, go get a glass of wine and apologize to Mr. Cook."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Cook. This is my company's designer. It's my first time bringing her out. The little girl is a
little nervous."
Mr. Cook looked a little better.
Nora pursed her lips and, at the request of her boss, poured herself a glass of wine and walked over.
"Mr. Cook, I'm sorry. This glass of wine is to apologize to you."
She had lost her memory, but not her wits. She could tell that Mr. Specter had called her here today to
accompany those bosses. She was very resistant, but she didn't know how to refuse.
"Well, it's good to know that you're wrong. I can understand that a beautiful woman has a temper, but
people sometimes have to know their position and know what should they do."
Mr. Cook said calmly, picking up the glass from her. At the same time, he touched her hand and patted
the seat beside him, "Sit here and have a few drinks with me."
Nora immediately said, "No need. Mr. Cook. Bosses talk. I'll sit next to you..."
Before she could finish her sentence, another boss pulled her over and forced her to sit beside Mr.
Cook. "If Mr. Cook asks you to sit, just sit."
She sat uncomfortably, her body stiff. She took a deep breath, and the next second, a hand suddenly
fell on her leg. She was startled and stood up abruptly and took a few steps back.
The atmosphere had not yet begun to warm up but she had made it awkward twice.
Mr. Cook's expression was gloomy. He glanced at Harvey and said in a strange tone, "Mr. Specter, I
don't think you're here to talk about cooperation today. You're here to make things difficult for me."
"She's just a small designer. But it looks like she is a somebody. Hmph, the people in your company
are really capable."
Harvey broke into a cold sweat and immediately got up to apologize. He tugged at Nora's clothes and
whispered as he gritted his teeth, "What's wrong with you? I'm just asking you to drink, not ask you to
die."
"Let me tell you. Our company's cooperation plans for the second half of the year will all be supported
by Mr. Cook. I take you out to enrich your experience, but you act like this."
Nora lowered her eyes. "Mr. Specter, I'm sorry, I can't accompany those bosses."
Harvey glared at her. "What did you say? What's your attitude?"
She took a deep breath. "Mr. Specter, I really can't. I'll go out first." With that, Nora turned around and
left, leaving the bosses behind her.
Out of the box, Nora breathed a sigh of relief. She felt much better now, but before she could take a
few steps, she was blocked by a staggering drunkard in front of her.
"Jesus. Pretty girl. Alone? Go play with your brother." The drunkard grabbed her hand.
The strength the drunkard exerted on her wrist was so strong that she frowned in pain and could not
help struggling. "Sir, please let go of me."
The drunk reached out his hand with a smile and pressed her against the wall. He was about to kiss
her as his mouth was full of the strong stench of alcohol. Nora was so startled that she paled in fear
when she saw that the drunkard was about to kiss her.
But in the next second, she broke free. The drunkard suddenly leaned back and fell directly to the
ground. He fell asleep.
Her heart was beating fast. She breathed a sigh of relief. When she looked up, she saw Derek with a
sullen face. She was stunned and quickly reacted.
"Mr. Xavier, thank you so much for that."
Derek looked at her and frowned. "Why are you here?"
What he really wanted to say was, "Is this place where you should be?"
"I came with the boss to meet the client."
She didn't explain much. But who was Derek? He just looked at her and knew what happened. His
expression became gloomy.
"Your boss forced you to accompany the client?"
She was stunned and immediately waved her hand, "No. I just feel a little stuffy inside. So I come out
and get some fresh air."
Nora still had some self-knowledge. She knew that Derek was an important person, but she only met
him by chance. There was no need to tell things about her to an outsider like Derek.
At this moment, the phone rang. It was Mr. Specter. She looked at Derek apologetically and then
answered the phone as she tilted her body slightly. Mr. Specter's angry voice immediately came out of
the receiver.
"Nora, you don't want to do it anymore, don't you? You made me lose face just now. You actually left so
many bosses here at a critical time. How can you do this? Why didn't I see that you have the guts?"
"I'm warning you. I'll give you a minute to come back immediately. Serve Mr. Cook well and make him
sign the contract. Then I won't have a grudge against you about this today, otherwise..."
Harvey's voice was very loud. Derek must have heard it. Nora felt very embarrassed.
At this moment, the phone was suddenly taken away.
Derek answered the phone with a cold face, "Hello." All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Harvey froze and frowned. "Who are you? Give Nora the phone."
"I'm Derek Xavier."
This name immediately suppressed Harvey's fury. Harvey widened his eyes in disbelief. "Are you... Mr.
Xavier?"
Derek coldly snorted as he said yes. Without any nonsense, Derek said directly," I know about your
company's cooperation case. Take the contract to Xavier Group tomorrow. I'll take Nora with me."
Nora snapped back to her senses. Her eyes were wide open as she tried to grab the phone. "Mr.
Xavier, this is not appropriate. Don't talk nonsense."
Derek hung up the phone, returned the phone to her, and raised his eyebrows. "If I say something,
there's no reason to take it back."
"Cooperation is a big deal. You really don't have to do this for me."
Nora was very anxious. One couldn't take credit for nothing. How did she dare to accept this kindness?
She would only feel uneasy if she accepted.
"You're thinking too much. I'm a businessman. Businessmen are interested in profits. It has nothing to
do with interpersonal relationships." He purposely made it sound more commercial and didn't want her
to be burdened.
"Privately, you saved my son's life, but you didn't ask for any remuneration. So, I do this to offset what
you did."
"Officially, the Design Department of the Xavier Group happens to have a clothing project in the second
half of the year. Your company is a pure design company. I appreciate your design talent. Even if there
is no such thing, I intend to look for you. It is a thing which can benefit each other."
