Chapter 127: She’s Used to Deceiving People with her looks
Even though Victoria hadn’t said a word, Elda felt a sense of humiliation she had never experienced before. Martinez, who was still flirting, also noticed her unease and looked up to see Victoria, freezing in place for a moment.
Reacting quickly, he released Elda and approached Victoria with a sudden burst of anger.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Victoria!”
Victoria frowned, not understanding the source of Martinez’s inexplicable rage.
“Mr. Moris,” she politely addressed him, though Martinez’s previous actions had been a breach of their cooperative spirit. Despite that, she didn’t want to escalate the situation.
“Victoria, you’re quite something! I don’t know what tricks you played, but Lucas actually withdrew our contract because of you! We’ve been cooperating for three years, and I never thought you’d be this kind of person. I thought you were different from other women, but it turns out you’re just a bed companion!”
Victoria’s expression turned cold.
“Mr. Moris, you were the one who violated the spirit of the contract first. As for your cooperation with Lucas, it’s a matter between your two companies. Shifting the blame onto me might not be the best idea.”
Martinez stared at her coldly and then smirked.
“Lucas collaborated with others to deal with you, but immediately changed his attitude towards you. I heard you had dinner together. It seems you’ve been quite accommodating in bed.”
“Mr. Moris, a man of your stature, resorting to slut-shaming tactics? Is this the result of impotent rage?”
“You!”
Martinez was furious. He had wanted to confront Victoria as soon as he learned about Lucas breaking the contract. At this moment, Elda showed up, claiming to be from the same studio as Victoria. Naturally, Martinez didn’t refuse. Having one more person to deal with Victoria, and also someone to accompany him to sleep, was a win-win situation. Little did he expect to run into Victoria here.
A sinister look flashed in his eyes as he pulled Elda close.
“Well, Victoria, since you want it this way, don’t blame me if I never cooperate with you again. My brother companies will also reject your projects. Our decorating team is among the best in the industry. Let’s see how you’ll renovate Nick’s house this time!”
He looked smug, scrutinizing Victoria from head to toe.
“But if you’re sensible, like Elda here, and spend a night with me, maybe I’ll consider doing you a favor.”
Victoria sneered and stepped into the elevator.
“Don’t overthink it, Mr. Moris. I’m not that cheap.”
His face was full of triumph as he looked Victoria up and down.
This remark insulted two people directly.
Elda, who had initially intended to play ostrich in Martinez’s embrace, couldn’t contain her anger after hearing Victoria’s words.
“You wretch!”
However, by the time the elevator doors closed, her outburst was like a punch in the air-frustrating.
Elda’s face contorted in frustration. Damn it!
Then, a gleam flashed in her eyes. Why was Victoria here in the hotel? And in such a luxurious one? Could it be that Victoria, like her, was here tonight to cozy up to a wealthy man?
Elda sneered. She was about to coax Martinez a bit more when she saw someone entering the lobby-Nick!
Elda had seen him before and even subtly criticized Victoria in front of him.
Now, an opportunity presented itself again!
Elda quickly let go of Martinez and rushed toward Nick.
“Mr. Andrews, nice to see you again. I don’t know if you remember me.”
Nick’s eyes remained cool, and he didn’t recall her until Elda introduced herself.
“Poppy and I work in the same studio. Remember I told you that when Poppy collaborates with clients, sometimes the clients’ wives ask for a replacement? Well, tonight, I ran into her at the hotel. I don’t know if she specifically came to intercept you.”
“Hmm.”
Nick’s tone was icy as he walked past her and entered the elevator.
Not daring to get too close, Elda continued, “We work together, and I know all about her filthy thoughts. She’s used to deceiving people with this looks.”
Nick didn’t pay much attention to her words until he reached his suite’s door and saw Victoria waiting there.
She leaned against the wall, and the overhead light created a halo around her, making her fair skin appear delicate and cold, seemingly soft but inherently stubborn.
At least Elda was right about one thing-Victoria was used to deceiving people with this looks.
Her eyes were exceptionally beautiful, evidenced by the fact that he lost control the very first night back.
At least Victoria’s appearance did align well with his preferences.
If only she didn’t have that mouth.
If that mouth were a bit more pleasant.
