hapter 41 She Actually Got a Hotel Room

The stench of cigarettes overwhelmed Grace so much that she instinctively scooted over to the next seat to put some distance between herself and Cam

When she looked up, she could see the yellow plaque on Cameron’s teeth. It made her want to throw up.

Middle–aged men looked fine from afar, but she didn’t think they would be this disgusting in reality.

“What do you mean by that? Are you refusing to let me leave?” She held her breath as much as possible, not wanting to even breathe the same air as C

“Getting together with the president of Amirate Corporation right after divorcing Mr. Hawkins? Bringing us to heel the moment you came back to Pamore? Impressive, Ms. Lewis.”

Grace raised an eyebrow, mockery dripping from her voice as she said, “Did you take me here just to praise me?”

“Of course not. I just wanted to know what it would be like to bed someone Benjamin Hawkins had slept with before.” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Cameron smiled with obvious lust, staring at Grace the whole time.

A few days ago, she had humiliated him in public. He had thought that would be the end of it. But then she had gone on to provide spot– on feedback for all those departments.

It was clear she was going to go far, and that made him feel threatened.

Grace scoffed and replied, “I didn’t know you missed me that much.”

“How capable can you women be, anyway? If it hadn’t been for how good you were in bed, you never would have gotten such a high– ranking position.”

Cameron’s misogyny couldn’t have been more obvious. Grace wondered if the HR department at Amirate Corporation was blind.

Why else would they have hired trash like him?

“Besides, I want to hear about the secrets of your marriage with Mr. Hawkins. If you can tell me what you were like in bed, even better. How does that so

“You want to hear it that badly?”

Grace smirked, her eyes quickly scanning their surroundings. “It’s too crowded here. I don’t think it would be appropriate.”

“Don’t worry, Ms. Lewis. I’ve already prepared for that.”

Cameron’s smile grew wider as he produced a keycard for one of the rooms at the hotel opposite the restaurant. “I’ve been waiting for this.”

“You just said I had gotten into Mr. Lewis‘ best. Aren’t you worried I would tell him about this?

Grace’s teasing gaze raked over Cameron, as if she were trying to discover something new.

Sure enough, Cameron’s expression froze for a bit. But then, he laughed.

“You’re just a secretary who was Mr. Hawkins‘ wife for a while. Why would our president take you seriously? He probably just wants whatever intel you h

“You’re just a plaything he’ll get tired of after a few days. So why not let his employees have a go?” he said.

This man sure had balls. He was even trying to sleep with her.

“Good analysis, Mr. Luther.” Grace took a sip of red wine, still smiling.

“You’ve just started work, so your position isn’t very stable yet. If you can get in on Barnes Group’s medical development project, Mr. Lewis would be sure to take you seriously,”

“Does that mean you’re finally telling me that insider information about Barnes Group?” Grace pretended to be nervous so that Cameron would think she

“Of course. But that would depend on how much of a rush you’re in.”

By now, Cameron had mentally undressed Grace several times. “I’ll teach you a lesson once I’ve had my fun with you, you whore,” he thought.

Frederick, who was sitting nearby, couldn’t help but find Grace and Cameron’s actions

suspicious.

So he poked Benjamin and said, “See that, man? Your ex is getting a little close with her colleague. It looks like she’s seducing him.”

“Everything looks suspicious when you have a d*rty mind. Stop gossiping,” Benjamin warned

Frederick.

Frederick pouted, but stuffed food in his mouth and fell silent. They had agreed to meet up for dinner, but they hadn’t expected to see Grace and Cameron there too.

When Benjamin saw what was going on, his gaze turned icy. However, that coldness turned to burning rage when he noticed them leaving for the hotel.

That woman had actually gotten a hotel room! How could she be so promiscuous after their divorce?
