Watching her retreating figure , Sandria smiled coldly . She hadn't wanted to do this at first . After all , Lola and Travis raised her for years . But it seemed that her kindness was wasted on them . Within two weeks , they'd know her real identity . Would they still be gloating over these 150 thousand dollars ? She turned to leave . Yet in the next second, she spotted a familiar figure . It was Fulbert . With one hand tucked in his pocket , he stood there motionlessly , his posture straight . He was looking at her , his gaze deep , piercing . She had no idea how long he had been standing there . Somehow , she felt irritated . Florentino's friends all knew her humble origins . During the Farley family's repeated visits to beg for money , they had groveled before these elites , which made them pitiful laughingstocks . Fulbert was probably laughing at her inwardly right now . With a glacial expression , she wanted to leave , but he strode over and cornered her against the wall . His tall frame , paired with his commanding presence , left her no room to escape . Utterly displeased , she looked up and glared at him icily . " Mr. Ortega , eavesdropping is so tacky . If you wanna laugh at me , go ahead . " He looked at her with a frown , his gaze darkening . " What makes you think I'm gonna laugh at you ? " She sneered , " Am I wrong ? Rich men like you love making fun of people's misery , don't you ? " He blinked , his expression unchanged . " Is that how you see me ? " She was baffled by his question . But after recalling , she realized that among those people , he was the only one who had never taunted her . 0.0 % 07:07 Chapter 13 However , she wouldn't admit she was wrong . " I don't care . Move , " she said , her tone icy . 288 iVouchers Just then , he sighed very softly , reached into his suit jacket , retrieved a gold - embossed business card , and extended it toward her . Fulbert said , " I just wanted to make an offer . Since you quit already , if you haven't figured out where you wanna go , why don't you work with me ? I've got a small company that could really use a partner right now . " Sandria felt momentarily speechless . He was actually here to offer her an olive branch ? Meanwhile , she was slightly surprised . Instead of asking her to work for him , he wanted to work with her . Remaining expressionless , she patted his hand away . " Sorry . I'm not interested . " Yet before she could turn to leave , he extended his arms and confined her between himself and the wall . Pinching the card with his slender fingers , he gently slid it into her blouse pocket . Through the thin fabric , he accidentally brushed against her plump breasts . His Adam's apple bobbed instinctively , and he didn't pull back his hand . Instead , his deep gaze locked onto her , his voice turning hoarse . " It's fine . I can wait . Call me when you change your mind . It doesn't have to be about the job . You can call me about anything … including getting back at Florentino . " His elegant fingers rose up and down along with the rhythm of her breathing . It was such an intimate yet odd posture . To call it flirtation wouldn't be right , for he stayed still , not making the next move . But he didn't withdraw his fingers either . Sandria felt both a bit pissed off and awkward . She looked up , staring at his strikingly handsome face , unflinching . " Exactly how much longer do you plan on touching me ? " Her eyes , lit up by boldness , somehow made her even more enchanting . He slowly pulled his fingers away . Then he explained seriously , " I was just worried you wouldn't accept it .
