Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 53

"Don't you think Josiah Bayer's acting strange?"

"What's so strange?" Jesse was indifferent. "All men are the same when they see a beautiful woman."

"That's true... But he doesn't look like he's met a pretty girl. More like he's seen the ghost of his ancestor!"

Jesse nearly laughed out loud. He covered his mouth and scanned his surroundings before lowering his voice to tell Michael, "Mr. Johnson, I've already made the arrangement. The room's at..." Cordelia's heart came up to her throat. She quietly went closer and listened in attention.

That hotel was some distance away from here and was located in the suburbs, barely having anyone when night fell.

She clenched her fists and felt anger raging in her chest.

Jesse's smirk was evil. "That's a deserted place. Even if Cordelia screams herself hoarse, it's useless! Mr. Bayer will sign anything when he's had enough fun!"

"Oh yeah, Mr. Johnson, I installed a camera in the room. If Josiah Bayer dares to back out of it, we'll publicize the video recording!"

"You!" Michael pointed at him with a chuckle. "You know what you're doing, huh? But it'd be a grievance to Cordelia."

"What else can beautiful women do? She'll at least be useful on the bed!"

"When this is done, I'll transfer the sales director away, and you'll take the place!"

Jesse pandered to Michael even more once he heard what the latter said.

Cordelia gasped, hiding behind the pillar, filled with rage and hatred. She forced down the discomfort from the alcohol and tried her best to keep herself sober. However, Jesse and Michael's despicable faces kept flashing in her eyes.

She clenched her fists, digging her nails into her palms as she trembled. She could take care of the despicable men slowly. The urgency right now was to escape this crisis.

Cordelia calmed down and turned on her location on her phone, then texted Marcus to tell him to constantly keep track of her location and pick her up as soon as possible.

She did not get a response after sending the text and was a little panicked. Just as she wanted to give Marcus a call, Jesse came looking for her. She could only brace herself and go back to the room with him. Michael and Jesse encouraged her to drink even more after that. Cordelia did her best to avoid it, but she still drank quite a lot.

Josiah kept blocking for her as well, but he could not do it openly. He could only watch her empty one glass after another, planning to send her home personally to be safe.

When the dinner finally ended, Cordelia followed behind the men dizzily.

"Tonight was great!" Michael smirked and told Josiah with a lowered voice, "Mr. Bayer, there's a special program in a while... Don't miss it!"

Josiah, who was kept in the dark, was clueless.

When Jesse yanked Cordelia over and pushed her to Josiah, the latter was shocked! Cordelia's face was flushed, and her feet felt light, like she was stepping on cotton. Josiah helped her stand properly and pulled his hands back from her shoulders like he was electrocuted. He then looked at Michael and Jesse.

"W-What's the meaning of this?"

Jesse said with a grin, "Mr. Bayer, Cordelia's had too much to drink. Can you send her back?"

"Oh." Josiah composed himself. "I was thinking the same, even if you didn't bring it up."

Jesse and Michael exchanged a look. This was exactly what they wanted to hear. They quickly pulled the car door open and gave the driver an address, sending off Josiah and Cordelia. "Where are we going?" Cordelia struggled to straighten up in the car.

Her head was buzzing like a million bees had flown in, and she felt the alcohol at her throat. Her stomach was churning as well. It was upsetting.

When she looked properly, though, Josiah was sitting next to her!

Cordelia's heart thumped, and she shuffled to the side, looking at him alertly.

"Where are you taking me to?" When she asked the question, her hands had gone to her bag and untied the thin strap quietly.
