Chapter 28
Meredith smiled and handed over a report. As a result, she was unceremoniously mocked.
Being watched by everyone, she couldn't bear it any longer. Therefore, she hid in the bathroom.
The "cold water" splashed on her face, giving her a moment to wake up. But then there was endless
confusion. What was she going to do?
Could it be that the darkness of the past haunted her forever?
"Meredith, things have been tough lately. I've seen it all." At this moment, a gorgeous figure appeared
behind her. "Tonight, I'll treat you to dinner and talk about these things. How about that?"
The person who was talking to Meredith was Linda, the deputy director of sales. Meredith didn't know
much about Linda, only that she was very good at doing business and was quite competent. In short,
Meredith could not afford to offend Linda.
After work, Linda took Meredith to a bar. As soon as she entered the private room, Meredith saw a few
men and beautiful girls sitting beside them. At first glance, Meredith knew that they were playboys.
Meredith immediately wanted to leave but Linda garb her. "Do you still want to stay in the company?
These are the company's clients. If you leave now, you will offend them."
When Meredith heard this, she realised that she couldn't walk out of the room, so he had to sit aside
with her head down, hoping that no one would notice her.
However, it was obvious that Rachel was not going to let Meredith simply sit in her seat. Because she
noticed that the eyes of a few of them fell on Meredith from time to time, which made her even more
certain that she had made the right choice in bringing Meredith here.
Meredith, who looked a little similar to the current famous star Ava, looked more pure and less
glamorous, but it was enough to attract these men.
After a while, Rachel gave Meredith a glass of wine and pushed her. "Go and drink a toast to Mr. Lee."
"I can't drink." Meredith told the truth and she really didn't know how to drink.
"Drinking is one drink after another, and then you learn." Rachel looked at her with a threatening look in
her eyes.
Meredith had no choice but to walk over, but she was very nervous, afraid of causing any trouble. At
this time, she didn't know who suddenly stretched out his foot and tripped her.
Meredith staggered, and the red wine in her hand directly spilled all over Mr. Lee's body. The wine
dripped down, which made Mr. Lee look distinctly embarrassed.
"I didn't mean it!" Meredith subconsciously took a step back and panicked.
"You're excellent at picking parts to spill your wine on. Should we make way for it?" The man who had
just tripped over his leg opened his mouth and joked.
Many of the red wine that Meredith had just spilled was between Mr. Lee's legs and was in an awkward
position.
"Well, if you help me clean up, I won't blame you." Mr. Lee looked at Meredith with a smile, his eyes full
of undisguised desire.
Meredith frowned and looked at Mr. Lee's smiling face. She suddenly realized that these people were
probably doing this on purpose.
"I'm sorry. I'll pay you back for the clothes. I don't think it's possible to wipe your clothes clean when
they've been soiled by red wine."
With that, Meredith stepped back.
Mr. Lee saw Meredith so ignorant. He yanked her over and pressed her on her lap. "This cloth is
custom-made overseas. Even if you were sold, you couldn't afford to pay. You'll do as I say or I'll have
to make you lick me clean."
When the crowd saw that he was going to do something randy, they left with a laugh. Meredith saw that
Linda had also left her to go. "No, don't leave me here alone."
Rachel didn't listen to her. Instead, she winked at Mr. Lee. "Mr. Lee, don't forget the bonus!"
Meredith was in complete despair. Linda has been planning this for a long time, bringing her here and
using her for a business deal!
"Let go of me! I'll pay you back. I'll pay you whatever you want. Furthermore, I'm not here to prostitute
myself!" Meredith struggled desperately, but it made the man more excited.
"You're here now, don't pretend to be a virtuous woman."
Mr. Lee leaned over and tried to kiss Meredith, while the other hand caressed around her body and tore
at her clothes.
Meredith's clothes were quickly ripped off, revealing her fair shoulders. Mr. Lee saw her skin, his eyes
lit up, and he was about to press her down on the sofa.
Meredith looked at the face that was getting closer and closer, and hatred flashed in her eyes. Why
would someone want to destroy her forever? If that was the case, she might as well fight it out.
Thinking about it, Meredith kicked Mr. Lee in the middle of taking off his clothes, and the man screamed
in pain. He couldn't care about her for a moment. Meredith immediately rolled off the couch, pulled her
clothes up and ran.
"Fuck, get her!" Mr. Lee was enraged. The bodyguards outside the door immediately grabbed Meredith
who was about to run, tied her up with a belt and threw her back.
"Bitch, you're asking for it. I'll get someone to take pictures of you naked later. Are you still running? I'll
make sure you never get rid of this shadow for the rest of your life!"
When Meredith heard this, she closed her eyes in despair. Suddenly, a cold male voice came from
outside the door. "What is Mr. Lee doing?"
It was a voice that sounded regal. That voice carried an unquestionable dominance, but it was so
familiar. Meredith looked over, only to see Derek standing at the door. His face was expressionless, as
if he was just seeing strangers doing something he didn't care for.
This expression made Meredith feel ashamed.
"Mr. Xavier? It's just a lesson for a woman. How did you..."
Mr. Lee's behaviour was much more restrained after seeing Derek, because in J City, the influence of
the Xaviers was more powerful than that of Lee family.
However, in a place like this, this kind of thing happened every day, and Derek didn't care about it.
"Do you know this woman?" Mr. Lee asked cautiously.
"I don't know." Derek's expression remained the same, and there was still a cold look in his eyes.
When Meredith heard him say that he didn't know her, there was an indescribable feeling in her heart.
She knew that he must be ashamed of her, but it still hurt her pride. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Hearing this, Mr. Lee was even more puzzled. He thought, "Since he didn't know her, why did he stop
me?"
"Mr. Xavier, this woman kicked me. I just wanted to teach her a lesson."
"This is my place. I don't want to cause any trouble." Even so, Derek had no intention of leaving.
Lee rarely saw that Derek was so determined to take care of it, and he didn't want to offend Derek for a
woman. So he could only leave here. Before he left, he glared at Meredith fiercely. "You're lucky this
time. Next time I catch you, you'll know what the consequences are."
Silence returned to the room. Derek looked at Meredith's messy clothes and a few red marks on her
fair skin. His eyes darkened slightly.
"Is this the job you want to keep?" The man said sarcastically.
