Outside the door.
When Ashley and the other two girls saw this, they covered their mouths in shock!
‘How could this happen!’
‘Mr. Steele is not kneeling in front of Miss Clarke but the other way round instead!’
‘It didn’t even take a minute. A second after they met, Miss Clarke got on her knees!’
‘Could it be that the new president of the company, Mr. Steele, is so charming and domineering that even Miss Clarke, who’s usually high up in the air, has submitted to him!?!’
The trio was even more in awe and respectful towards Jordan!
Hearing the sounds outside the door, Jordan peeked through the gap, and the frightened trio frantically fled.
Afterward, Jordan walked up to Victoria and simply looked at her from above without helping her up.
Jordan smiled and said, “Miss Clarke, why are you kneeling down in front of me as soon as we met? I can’t accept such a grand gesture from you.”
Victoria secretly thought to herself, ‘If you can’t accept it, hurry up and help me up. You’re making me so embarrassed, and this is such an awkward position to be in…’
All adults would probably get the wrong idea if they saw Victoria’s and Jordan’s postures now.
However, Victoria also knew that she could only blame it on herself.
‘Screw the Camdens! If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t have ended up offending my superior!’
The thought of everything that happened yesterday made Victoria feel an urge to die.
Victoria immediately apologized guiltily, “I’m sorry, Mr. Steele, I was wrong! Please forgive me for what I said yesterday!”
Jordan squatted down and faced Victoria. “Yesterday? Oh, I remember, you seemed to have said that we were lovers yesterday.”
Jordan pulled Victoria into his arms!
Jordan managed to easily hold the woman whom many tycoons in the business circle of Orlando had been coveting for a long time!
If someone else dared to do this to Victoria, she would have definitely slapped him.
However, she didn’t dare to do that to Jordan.
Well, because she was the one who said that Jordan was her boyfriend.
Victoria’s fragrant bodily scent wafted up to Jordan’s nose. It was no wonder so many men were head-over-heels smitten with Victoria. Jordan felt refreshed and pleased after just holding her in his arms for a while.
Jordan continued to gibe, “I heard that I even booked an entire island to beg you to be my girlfriend. Which island was it?”
Feeling incredibly embarrassed, Victoria wished she could dig a hole and jump right into it.
“I’m sorry, I was wrong.” Victoria apologized again.
Jordan said, “I don’t plan to fire you.”
Victoria raised her head in surprise as she wondered, ‘I crossed the line and did such an outrageous thing yesterday, but Jordan doesn’t intend to fire me?’
Jordan said, “Yesterday, you were the only one who offered me a chance to survive. If I’m really just an ordinary live-in son-in-law, you’d be my benefactor.”
After thinking about it, Jordan realized that Victoria didn’t do anything too outrageous to Jordan yesterday.
The other guests turned against Jordan and alienated him without hesitation, but Victoria pleaded on Jordan’s behalf and even intended to let Jordan be her bodyguard, despite facing the risk of offending Old Mrs. Camden.
Victoria merely stood in solidarity with them because she felt embarrassed after Jordan turned her down.
Feeling extremely touched, Victoria exclaimed with tears in her eyes, “Thank you, Mr. Steele! I’ll serve you wholeheartedly in the future!”
Victoria didn’t expect Jordan to be so magnanimous and understanding at such a young age.
Jordan said, “I can forgive you, but I won’t let a single one of those people who swore they would cut off all means of a livelihood for me get away scot-free.”
“Miss Clarke…”
“You may call me Victoria,” Victoria said in a gentle voice after wiping her tears.
Jordan said, “Victoria, collate the information of those who said they would cut off all means of a livelihood for me and hand it over to me.”
“Yes!” Victoria knew that Jordan was going to exact revenge on them!
There is soon to be an upheaval in the business circle of Orlando!
