Jagger was in pain, and he let go of Fiona.
Fiona immediately rushed out.
"Catch her. I'm sure she can't get away. Let's see who's the sadist, and who's the masochist today!" Jagger shouted madly.
Michael immediately got up to chase after Fiona.
Fiona turned a corner. As she'd never be able to beat Michael at running, she rushed into a random room and hid in it.
There was no one in the room. She was worried that Michael would find her, so she crawled under a table.
As soon as she went under the table, someone opened the door.
Fiona held her breath and saw that there were several pairs of feet, but only one person sat down.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Hunt. But because Master Hamilton is too stubborn, and Miss Hamilton had been trying to stop us, we weren't able to complete the acquisition as planned."
Samson Hunt sat in the main seat and tapped the table rhythmically.
He locked his cold gaze on Jason Clarkson. "I'm not here to listen to your excuses.
Instead, I need you to come up with a plan. I'm determined to acquire the Hamilton Group."
"In order to become listed, the Hamilton Group has published a lot of fake data, and many of the companies under them are experiencing all kinds of problems. We plan to start from their pharmaceutical companies."
"You guys only have a week. If you can't do it, time to resign."
"Okay," Jason and the others answered fearfully.
"Take a seat."
Everyone only dared to sit down after Samson told them to.
This person's voice was bold and merciless, and the more Fiona listened to it, the more he sounded like Samson. She raised a little bit of the table cloth in curiosity and looked over.
When her eyes met Samson's, her mind went blank for a moment. Samson was very surprised.
"Why are you here?"
The others looked at each other and they raised the tablecloth following Samson's gaze. Fiona crawled out awkwardly and straightened her clothes. She placed her hand on her neck and lowered her head unnaturally.
She couldn't just tell them that she was hiding there by chance because she had a gay husband who was forcing her to participate in a threesome. That would be so shameful!
"Well, I, I... I came over to see if you... you need anything." Fiona really wanted to bite off her own tongue. Why was she stammering? This made her sound even more guilty.
Samson's gaze was profound as he looked at Fiona.
"You cut out my photos from magazines and argued with your colleagues for the opportunity to serve me. Now, you're following me around. What exactly are you referring to when you're asking me if I need anything?"
"Yeah?" She had a vague feeling that his words were ambiguous.
Moreover, she never cut out his photos from magazines, argued with her colleagues for the opportunity to serve him, or followed him around. She lowered her head, not knowing what to say.
Samson's gaze grew darker and darker.
Fiona's silence almost confirmed his speculation.
What happened five years ago flashed past his mind.
He said coldly, "Get out of here."
"Uhm." Fiona reckoned that Jagger must have gone far, but she opened the door and saw Jagger and Michael Anderson coming back. This scared her so much that she shrank back.
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Samson frowned.
Fiona looked at Samson carefully and tried to buy time.
"Well, about that... Can I give you a toast?"
Samson sneered and raised his chin. He did not bother to hide the mockery in his eyes and refused right away.
"Do you think you deserve to?" Fiona resisted the urge to roll her eyes. This man was seriously arrogant.
"I have some food recommendations for you. B City is famous for pork balls and glutinous rice cakes. Rice wine is also one of their signatures," Fiona said with a smile.
"You can go now," Samson said coldly.
Fiona was too embarrassed to stay any longer. She opened the door and ran out when she saw that Jagger was gone.
After she got home, the more she thought about Jagger's behaviour, the more she felt that it was too much.
She managed to flee today. But what would happen in the future? She could not just have threesomes with Jagger and Michael until she got pregnant.
The mere thought of it disgusted her.
She had to get divorced as soon as possible. She took out her passbook, but found that she only had 100,000 USD in her savings account.
She also had 20,000 USD in her current account, and Sally owed her 30,000 USD. She'll be getting 12,000 USD for her pay this month. The total was just 162,000 USD.
In the past few years, she had not used a single cent of Jagger's money. She was the one who paid Skylar's school fees, the nanny's salary, and her house rental.
Where was she going to get 240,000 USD from?
"Mum, are we running out of money?" Skylar woke up and saw Fiona holding a calculator.
"Sorry for waking you up. Don't worry, I'll solve the problem, "Fiona said gently and lay down beside Skylar.
There was a pang in Skylar's heart as she looked at Fiona. She said in a childish voice.
"Mum, why don't you sell me? Since I'm so pretty, I'm sure l'll fetch a good price. After that, I'll just run home. This way, we can become rich." Fiona was amused, and there was a surge of warmth in her heart.
"Sky, I won't sell you even if I have to sell myself. You're my priceless treasure. I'll just have to work hard for more money. Go back to sleep, my dear."
"Alright," Skylar nodded. She hugged Fiona and muttered, "I really hope that my new dad would show up soon." After a while, Skylar fell asleep.
Fiona covered Skylar with a blanket. She then left the room and took a bath. When she was about to sleep, her cell phone rang.
She was afraid that the noise would wake Skylar up, so she quickly silenced her phone. When she saw that it was a call from her general manager, she answered it.
"Fiona, is this how you do a job? Samson Hunt is one of our major clients. Why are you not here?" David Burton said angrily.
"Isn't Sally Sear there? I asked her for her help."
"It's not appropriate for you to ask someone else to do your job. Chairman Hunt got very angry when he saw that you weren't around. Hurry up and come over. If Samson Hunt tells our big boss about this, I wouldn't be able to help you out. If you were to offend him, I'm afraid that you wouldn't be able to get a job at any other hotels either."
"Alright." Fiona panicked. She needed this job as she had to raise Skylar.
"I'll go over immediately. She had just washed her uniform, and her spare set was in the hotel."
However, she couldn't just head to the hotel in casual clothes at this time of the day. Other people would criticize her if they were to see it.
She took out a set of size S uniform from her wardrobe. The purchasing department had estimated her size wrongly when she first started working. She was skinny, but her chest size was D because she had big boobs. Hence, the purchasing department got her a few sets of size M uniforms.
