The words seem to please him. He finally nodded with a grim face. "Call her. I will decide after meeting her." his voice sounded much softer than before and he even gave a look to the drink.
Sophia nodded with a fawning smile on her face. But when she turned toward the stairs. Her eyes were red and cold with the desire to kill.
Her hold on the banister tightened. "Could it be that the foolish girl had realized something was wrong?" the way she fell and dirtied her dress and ran away in the name of cleaning it looked too coincidental. But she immediately shook that thought away.
There was no way that she could know the truth. She had no access to the outer world and that foolish girl trusted us completely.
With that thought, she climbed the stairs. She missed her daughter who was already in the kitchen hiding. Penny had come downstairs after locking her sister in the room. She had confirmed from maids. The man visiting them was indeed a rich businessman. She had searched his net worth on the internet quickly and found it in millions. She would marry a millionaire if she convinced him.
Her eyes glitter with greed and joy. But her mother did not leave the boss alone. Her mother had chosen Nora. and she knew her mother never heard no as an answer. So, she had been hiding in the kitchen and watching them for an opening.
And now she got it. She adjusted her hair and pulled her dress lower so that an ample amount of her breasts could be seen. Her eyes filled with resolve to seduce the man for himself.
There was no way she was going to let Nora marry in a rich family and stay as a poor girl herself.
"Mr. Withermoore, have you been waiting for a long time?" She gave him a seductive smile as she ran a hand in her hair and sat beside the man instead of sitting on the opposite side.
Her entrance widened the eyes of both men. While Benard looked at the young girl with interest. Her father was mortified to see it was his daughter who had entered.
"Penny! What are you doing here? Your mother had asked you to study in your room." he demanded in an authoritative voice. But when he noticed his boss turning to give him a look. He paused.
"Sir. she is not my niece but my daughter." he realized it would make no difference to this man, so he smiled in a fawning way, "she is very weak in her studies and my wife had given her a detention so that she could learn. My wife will bring my niece soon. She is much more beautiful than my wife." as he continued to explain the brooding boss. He signaled his daughter from his hands to leave.
But Penny did not care about the signal. She noticed how her father was sweating and worrying. Her father was already chairman of GNC limited. He had always been so authoritative but now he was struggling to form a sentence. This man indeed holds power.
And if she wanted to have it..! Her eyes grew cold and her hands reached for Benard's thighs. The man paused at once.
He forgot about the existence of a foolish employee at once and smiled at the young girl. Her skin was so pale and soft. Like a young plum never touched. And her breasts looked so heavy but firm. His eyes darkened instantly.
"Young girl, do you know who I am?" Mr Benard ignored the complaining father at once. He licked his lips as his eyes had already marked his prey. Her tender skin called him for a beating.
The girl fluttered her eyes and looked at him tenderly.
"You are the boss of my father. I wanted to thank you for helping my father in getting a promotion." she whispered softly like an innocent maiden making the man laugh.
"But I have not yet offered a promotion to your father." The man in question stood up and then glared at his daughter. He did not know when his daughter learnt seduction.
Though he understood and felt gratified that she was trying to save him a promotion like a filial daughter. It should be the task of his niece. He had been taking care of her since childhood. It was time that she returned the favor.
"My dear.." he called her only to earn a warning glare from his boss. Now he felt trapped.
"Father, you looked worried. Shall I pour some warm tea for you?" feigning ignorance, she asked her father in a sweet voice. If anything went wrong today, she would just blame her cousin for everything and stay free.
"Penny!" The man felt trapped. He signaled her to leave so many times already. Why did she not get them?
"David. Go and bring me better wine." Benard commanded with a dominant look on his face. It said clearly, you will lose your job if you do not go. David flinched at once.
"Boss.."
"Oh, I will go and bring it." she smiled sweetly, "my father had kept a bottle of vintage wine for you but my cousin had dropped it on the ground and she panicked so much that cleaned it with her dress." she chuckled softly as if she was making a harmless confession to a friend. But Benard eyes immediately narrowed at her father.
"Is that so?" he asked in a glum voice but Penny ignored it. Her eyes burning with the desire to win.
"Yes, she had always been clumsy. Once, she told me that…"
"Penelope! What are you doing here?" Sophia came down with a red agitating face. It looked like she wanted to kill someone. She glared at her daughter and asked in a cold voice. "Go to your room now."
The air thickened around them. Benard went cold at once.
"If she leaves, your job will leave you too."
