Chapter 55 First Time Seen Mr. Agos So Worried
After finishing work, Edmond immediately went to the Agos Group to find Alicia.
However, when Edmond arrived at her office, he found she was no longer there. However, her secretaries was crying and packing up their things there.
Seeing Edmond, those secretaries seemed to see a savior and sorrowfully called out to him, "Mr. Agos..."
But Edmond was not in a playful attitude as he always had. Edmond furrowed his brows and pointed towards Alicia's office with a gloomy expression.
"Where is she?" asked Edmond.
"She went to a dinner party. She needs to apologize to a business partner."
One secretary replied and then showed a disdainful expression, muttering, "That fat man is lecherous. He definitely will have Casey to sleep with him tonight. Just thinking about it makes me feel better."
Another secretary chimed in, "Casey is the best at sleeping with people to get benefits. She should go and do what she is good at."
These secretaries were filled with resentment because they had been fired.
And, during the previous lunch dates or dinner dates with Edmond, they had said many bad things about Alicia, so they subconsciously assumed that Edmond was on their side.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Edmond gave them a cold glance and asked, "I dare you say that again."
These secretaries had never seen him look so gloomy before. They were immediately frightened into silence.
Edmond then confirmed with them, asking, "Who is she meeting?"
"The CEO of the AQ Group, Matt Charles."
Edmond remembered this person. He was the business partner Edmond had met during the previous social event in Blendford City. His expression darkened as he asked, "Where is the dinner party?"
One secretary told him the name of a club.
Then, Edmond left without looking back.
Those secretaries remained in their spot, gossiping and sighing.
"This is the first time I've seen Mr. Agos so worried about Casey. Didn't he hate her?"
"Surprisingly, even a charismatic and charming man like him couldn't resist Slut Casey's allure..."
"Alicia Casey is so cunning."
...
OC Club...
In an upscale private room, Alicia and Zach Gardner were sitting on the couch, waiting for someone.
Zach looked at Alicia like a needy puppy, looking cute and naive. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"Licia, you finally remembered me. I thought you were ignoring me because I stood you up that day. Are we on a date tonight?"
"I've been busy lately. I called you here today because I need your help."
"Licia, whatever you need me to do, just say it!"
"When I start to beat someone later, I want you to hold back the others."
Hearing this, Zach's eyes light up. Nodding eagerly and rubbing his hands, he replied, "Sure, sure. I love getting into fights!"
Although Zach was very cute and looked like an innocent boy, he used to be a bad boy in school. He had a rebellious streak. Smoking, drinking, fighting, and even street racing, all the stuff that a bad boy was supposed to do.
Alicia and him met because they once saved a girl from being kidnapped in an alley.
At that time, he was a punk teenager and was mesmerized by Alicia, a beautiful sexy woman who was actually cool and skilled when it came to fighting. So, he changed his image and became a cute boy, chasing after Alicia willingly.
Now, when he heard that there would be a fight later, he felt his adrenalin pumping.
"But you can't get physically involved."
Alicia swirled her glass and said with a cold look, "You were caught last time. You can't have another record."
"But I can't let a girl fight," Zach said.
Alicia didn't respond.
At that moment, the door of the private room was pushed open. Matt Charles, a middle-aged man, walked in with a group of bodyguards, exuding a cheesy, sleazy vibe.
Seeing him, Zach clicked his tongue in disgust.
It was him! That sleazy bastard he had beaten up last time at the bar!
Matt definitely remembered Zach, but he didn't care. From the moment he walked in, his eyes were fixed on Alicia, and he was quite satisfied with her hot outfit and make-up today.
"Ms. Casey, so nice to see you again. Well, you've changed your company, haven't you? You're quite popular!"
Leaning against the back of the sofa, swirling her wine glass, Alicia looked at him with a lostness in her eyes. She was like a beautiful Siren escaping to this mortal world from a myth. Every expression she had was captivating.
"Mr. Charles, you've gone through a lot of trouble just to see me."
"That's right! Ever since I saw you, I've been thinking about you day and night, restless. I went through great efforts and just wanted to be friends with you."
As Matt spoke, he walked over and sat next to Alicia.
Seeing that she didn't show any rejection, Matt felt delighted. Based on Alicia's current reaction, he felt that she was willing to compromise.
He poured himself a glass of wine, leaned against the sofa like Alicia, and his gaze fell directly on her chest while he was smiling.
"Well, Ms. Casey, your beauty makes me unable to resist. I don't have another option!"
"Mr. Charles, you said that if I came to this appointment today, you would give the project to the Agos Group. Are you serious about that?"
"Well, let's have a drink first, and then discuss it slowly."
He became smart this time. He knew that he couldn't rush to win Alicia over, and that he needed to be strategic.
But Alicia was not in a hurry either. She clinked glasses with Matt, took a leisurely sip, and chatted with him.
Alicia thought that Matt would avoid talking about business like he did last time. This time, however, he started to discuss business with her seriously.
Well, besides his suggestive gaze, he seemed normal.
Sitting on the side, Zach was left out and getting a little bored, yawning frequently.
Licia, when are you going to make your move?' he wondered.
After Alicia and Matt talked for a while, Matt suddenly said, "Ms. Casey, I thought you weren't interested in this collaboration project. A few days ago, I already gave it to the Porter Group. I didn't expect that you actually cared about this project. But you don't have to worry. If you show enough sincerity that you want me to give you that project, I think it won't be a big problem."
With that, he raised his chin, "Do you understand what I mean, Ms. Casey?"
