Chapter 611 Why Is He So Calm?

Every employee in the sales office was waiting for the VIP client to walk in except Javier, who was still doing what he usually did. He was either reading up or calling clients to follow up, seemingly uncaring of the matter.His coworker advised him, “Aren’t you silly? We’re all doing our best to receive the client!”Javier smiled nonchalantly, and his coworker gave up upon seeing he was unable to get to Javier.Since they had caught wind of the VIP client’s visit, everyone looked anxious when the office door opened. It was not just the salespeople outside. Even Sofia glanced out of her office occasionally, anticipating the client.Despite that, it was like the client had no idea of their sales office as there was no sight of them. From morning to afternoon, the office did not get any new visitors other than the regular clients they would have.Even with these regular clients, the employees were disinterested in serving them and looked sluggish. Some had even offered the clients t

Chapter 612 Her Second Visit

The discount for 68 units was not something Sofia could decide as a sales manager. After all, they were not an authorized agent but a direct sales company under Maple Court. Once she talked to the company and confirmed the details, they did not have to sign the contract either, as it would be signed directly by the higher-ups in the company.The sales belonged to them, and there was no doubt about it. The achievement and commission were theirs as well.That night, Sofia wanted to treat everyone again happily, but no one wanted to go as they were not in a good mood. After all, they had waited the whole day fantasizing about hitting the jackpot only to find that dream crushed.Javier did not want to join either, but Sofia had forced him to, unrelenting even when he said no. She was getting more curious about Javier now. She had been under the impression that he was timid back when she had just come to the sales office, but she realized Javier was not meek after spending this period of

Chapter 613 Kind of Innocent

To break the awkwardness, Sofia took the initiative to start a topic of conversation.“Javier, where’s your girlfriend? I didn’t see her here the last time either.”Sofia’s mention made Javier think of Jade, Chessie, Ciara, Lilith…He thought of many women—and he would fully indulge himself whoever was there with him right now.He could only answer glumly, “Not here, located elsewhere.”Sofia made an “oh” sound and replied casually, “My husband too. He’s working somewhere else.”When she said that and realized that Javier was looking up at her, she was immediately aware of the issue with what she said and quickly added with a flushed face, “I don’t mean it like that. I-I…”Sofia was at a loss. She really did not mean it that way, but once the words left her lips, it sounded like both of them could do whatever they wanted since Javier’s girlfriend and her husband were not around.Fortunately, Javier smiled and did not comment on it. It calmed down Sofia a little and made her less

Chapter 614 This Remote Control Is a Handful

It was undeniable that Maple Court, as the largest urbanized housing developer in the nation, was incredibly efficient. If it had been other companies, the election of a sales office manager would have to go through meetings and discussions. This was not the case with Maple Court. They discussed transferring Sofia to the marketing office in the morning and sent out the notice the same afternoon.Everyone in the office was happy for Sofia upon learning that she would be transferred to the marketing office and could not help the envy dripping off their gazes. It was apparent. She had only been the sales office manager for less than a month and was promoted again. There was no way it would not garner envy.There was someone who was happy without any sense of envy, too—Leila, who came around when they were about to finish work.“What’s that? I heard that Ms. Jenner’s promoted tomorrow onward? Congratulations!”Leila congratulated her, but there was no sense of sincerity in it. She then

Chapter 615 It’s Kind of Worrying

In the end, Javier did not lay a finger on Sofia and merely adjusted the temperature warmer. It was not that he had no ulterior thoughts about her. Quite the contrary, he was feeling the urge very much right now.However, the consequences of sleeping with a drunk woman were troublesome. If it were not reported to the police, he would have to provide various explanations and coax and sort out the relationship. If it were reported to the police, it would be much simpler since the busy party would be the police, as he only had to be put behind bars.Although both methods would not actually cause Javier practical troubles, they would still waste a lot of time—and he was pressed for time, hoping he could split a day into two. He could not afford to spend time on such triviality, so he could only forbear it with his willpower.He managed to withstand it, but the night was a long one. As he tossed and turned in bed, all he could think of was Sofia…Javier woke up the next morning—woken up

Chapter 616 These Troublemakers

The reality proved that Sofia had overthought. Javier and Tucker were both gentlemen at the table. No one forced her to drink.It was just that Javier drank quite a lot and was rather tipsy tonight since he did not have a high alcohol tolerance to begin with, and had no more medication in his pocket to help him now.Tucker was also tipsy and found a driver to drive him back.Sofia took the initiative to send Javier home since he had taken care of her so many times. She was worried about his safety. Fortunately for her, she had peace of mind as Javier was unlike her, who threw up everywhere when she was drunk.When she helped Javier to bed and was about to leave to fetch him some water, he hugged her. Sofia had a great figure, but she was on the petite side, so she was pinned against the bed directly, unable to fight against Javier’s powerful pull.In the next instant, Javier pushed his head forward and kissed her cherry lips fiercely. Sofia could not even reject him when he was pr

Chapter 617 Everyone’s Slacking

On The first day of the program, Javier let the group slack. They could do whatever they wanted, and he did not care about them at all. Everyone thought that Javier had left out of anger and was quite happy about it, enjoying themselves even more as they fooled around.Lou was happy as well, but he had another scheme up his sleeve. There was no way he was accepting his fate with Javier overriding him when the latter started off under him. His lover, Leila, was repeatedly annoyed by Javier as well, so he was going to avenge her.The next morning, Lou slipped off to Tucker’s office when he saw that Javier was letting them slack again.It was a coincidence that Herschel came to the room when Lou was out to go to Tucker. Initially, no one paid attention to this young man who came in, but the entire room went silent when he declared his identity.The identity Herschel had announced was…“I’m Herschel Lord from Reivaj Group. May I know who Mr. Javier Kersey is?”No one spoke, having no

Chapter 618 The Answer between A Rock and A Hard Place

Tucker’s incessant questioning got Lou in the tongue. He was adamant that the account he witnessed was nothing like that. He was being framed! “Mr. Goldwater, please! It isn’t like that at all! I mean it! Please, m-maybe you can ask everyone around about what happened if you don’t believe me!”Tucker ignored him as the man in the room spoke. “Mr. Goldwater, Reivaj Group’s rep came to see us.”He described everything Herschel had done since his arrival in unsparingly vivid details, not skimping on minutia such as the price. It baffled Lou while Goldwater looked on, stunned.The others in the crowd voiced their assent as soon as the man finished, vouching for how strongly Javier had voiced his rejection. “Mr. Kersey is an exceptionally talented person, and there’s more proof to it than how much money Reivaj Group is willing to shell out for him. Heck, we realize that since listening to his immaculate theories!”“Exactly! We love hearing his talks, don’t we, folks? It’s so profound an

Chapter 619 I’m Scared

“I’m going home. See you tomorrow.” Javier turned around with a nod and a wave and left. He never wanted to be invited upstairs. He was only with her till her door because the lights in the neighborhood were dark, and he worried for her safety.Sofia gawked at his retreating figure vanishing into the distance, nonplussed. She had been in the middle of an internal debate about what to do, yet this fellow closed it by turning away and bidding farewell.Honestly? She was a little bummed out. She really saw something that was not there, huh?While Sofia puzzled over her insignificant speculations, Lou was hiding in the shadow at the far end of the corridor. He was livid and clenched his jaw, his teeth grinding against themselves.He had given today’s incident a whole day’s thought.He was sure that Sofia had orchestrated it. How else could it be explained why Javier, a complete nobody with no close ties or connections within the office, managed to garner so much support?It must have

Chapter 620 Chutzpah

Sofia’s cheeks turned hot pink as soon as she finished. She realized her wording could cause quite a misunderstanding…“I mean, I’m literally scared. Literally!” she hurriedly added. “That’s what I meant when I asked you not to leave me tonight. I don’t, um, I don’t mean that as, uh, an invitation to sex.”The more she tried to clarify herself, the more flushed her cheeks were. She was inching closer and closer to outright inability to explain herself.Luckily for her, Javier understood. “You’re worried that Lou’s gonna come back and continue his vile, vindictive assault, aren’t you? So you want me to stay and keep an eye out for you. Doesn’t mean it as a ploy to seduce me for sex. That what you’re saying?”Sofia bobbed her head, her blushing cheeks rattling with the movement. “R-Right! That’s exactly what I was thinking!”Javier hummed. As he considered the young woman retreating away from his arms, he wondered aloud, “And you’re not worried that I might coerce you into it while
