Memories Of The Night

Although he"s an hour late for work, his father is out on business today and isn"t in the office.

When the cat"s away, the mice will play.

As long as his father is away, the company is under his control. Who would dare challenge him?

Samuel casually throws his suit on the sofa and settles himself into the boss"s chair, rubbing his head, which is still sore from the hangover.

Just then, his secretary alerts him to a call. "Mr. Anderson, Mr. Quentin, wants to speak to you."

Melvin?

At the mention of the name, Samuel immediately jerks awake. Sitting up, he tells his secretary, "Put him through!"

"Yes, Mr. Anderson."

After a beep, the call is transferred to Melvin.

With a wicked smile, Samuel says, "Mr. Quentin, after such a romantic and priceless night, you"re up quite early. Did you have a good night? Since I sent my sister to your bed… Well, when can I come over for the contract signing of the project?"

Samuel is absolutely certain that Melvin called to talk to him about the contract.

But Melvin is so angry that he growls through gritted teeth, "How dare you to talk to me about the contract? Samuel Anderson! From now on, you won"t get any project from me!"

Melvin has slept with dozens of women over the years. Last night was the first time that a woman dared to fight back and run away from him. The pain in his groin made him feel like he was going to die. A woman injured him in such a sensitive area...

It"s so humiliating that Melvin can"t even mention it. But he"s so furious that he takes his anger out on Samuel. Not only will he not give the project to Samuel, but he will also find ways to disrupt the Andersons" business in other ways.

Samuel is stunned by Melvin"s sudden rage. The smile on his face freezes in shock.

"Mr. Quentin," Samuel asks in a fl.u.s.tered voice, "Didn"t we have an agreement yesterday? What happened?"

"Samuel Anderson! Wait and see!" Melvin barks into the phone before hanging up fiercely.

"Wait, Mr. Quentin…" Samuel hurries to interject, only to hear a busy tone.

At this point, Samuel is completely puzzled and has no idea what happened.

Didn"t Katrina serve Melvin well last night? He even sent her to Melvin"s bed personally. Melvin shouldn"t have turned against him, even if he didn"t enjoy himself last night!

Why did Melvin call to shout at him over the phone angrily?

For the family business, Samuel took this step regardless of the consequences in order to redeem himself in his father"s eyes.

Samuel can"t figure out what"s going on. He nervously calls Melvin back, eager to find out what happened.

But Melvin seems determined to cut Samuel off. He"s completely unreachable. Samuel doesn"t get an answer, even when he calls Melvin"s office.

Distressed, Samuel gets a headache. He was originally in a good mood, but it suddenly drops without warning.

He suddenly remembers Sophie telling him last night that she would try to trick Marcellus into catching Katrina in the act at the hotel. He doesn"t know if she succeeded.

Sophie might know something.

At the idea, Samuel quickly picks up the phone and dials Sophie"s number.

When Samuel calls Sophie, she"s leaving the hotel. The tears streaming down her cheeks are smudging the makeup on her face. She looks particularly depressed.

"h.e.l.lo."

It takes Sophie a long time to pick up the phone. Hearing the strong tw.a.n.g in her voice, Samuel immediately knows that she is crying.

Constantly spoiled since her childhood, Sophie has suffered few grievances. This is the first time that Samuel hears her so dejected.

Only one person can make her feel so sad. Marcellus.

Melvin called him early in the morning to tear him a new one. Now, Sophie is crying like this.

The situation must be more serious than he imagined.

Samuel is anxious that he won"t be able to say a word after he discovers what happened. He is also worried about his sister, who seems extremely crushed.

He immediately asks, "Sophie, where are you now? I"ll come to you."

They both teamed up for yesterday"s plot. If something happened, Sophie could only talk to Samuel about her grievances and sadness.

Sophie tells him her location through her tears.

After Samuel hangs up, he grabs his keys and drives to see his sister.

"Sophie!"

Fifteen minutes later, Samuel finds his sister on a bench by the side of the road. Her eyes are swollen from crying.

"Brother!" When Sophie sees Samuel, she bursts into tears again. She throws herself at her brother and hugs him in distress.

"Brother, Marcellus shouted at me and told me to get out of his sight! He said that he never wanted to see me again!"

As Sophie talks, her cries become louder. She"s gasping for breath by the time she"s done.

Samuel frowns. Sure enough, Marcellus is the reason Sophie is depressed.

"Sophie, didn"t you arrange it so Marcellus would catch Katrina in the act? How did it end up like this?"

The sight of Katrina sleeping around shouldn"t make Marcellus take out his anger on Sophie.

"Brother, that b.i.t.c.h Katrina fooled us. She wasn"t in Melvin"s room last night!"

"Sophie, what did you say?"

"Katrina fought against Melvin and fled the room last night. This morning, after I made Marcellus come to the hotel, not only did I not see any evidence of Katrina spending the night with Melvin, but that b.i.t.c.h also exposed everything we did to Marcellus!"

Sophie"s words stun Samuel into silence. He can"t believe what he"s hearing.

Katrina managed to fight Melvin off and run away last night?

Samuel is worried. If Katrina was able to escape Melvin in her drugged state, Melvin might have gotten seriously hurt.

No wonder Melvin was so furious when he called him today. It turns out that he didn"t succeed in sleeping with Katrina. On the contrary, he got hurt.

Dazed, Samuel doesn"t know what to do.

When he brought Katrina to Melvin, Katrina could barely stand up. How did she have the strength to fight back?

It seems he underestimated her.

Melvin blamed the incident on him and turned against him. Not only did Katrina make him lose the project, but it"s also likely that she offended the Quentin family.

Additionally, Marcellus vilified Sophie because of her.

Katrina, this woman…

She sabotaged his business and Sophie"s love life. She dared to bite the hand that feeds her!

The thought makes Samuel clench his fists in anger.
