Obviously, the plan had failed, and Liam Williams had to arrange another meeting with Nelson Berry to apologize to him.
Even though Brianna hated it, she knew she had to go with Liam.
During the meeting, Herman Taylor, one of the big bosses, got a phone call, and after which, he exclaimed happily, "Nelson, I've got good news! We have been trying every way to get the chance to meet Scott Anderson and haven't had much luck. But his assistant Levi Baker just called me and said Scott Morgan had invited us to meet at his club!"
Liam, as well as other big bosses, was very excited. Though Nelson was a bit dubious about it, he wouldn't take the risk of missing such a great opportunity.
Everyone had heard about the Andersons in Las Vegas, especially about the two brothers, Scott Anderson and Jameson Anderson.
Jameson Anderson was the younger son, a total troublemaker and a heavy gambler who was notorious for the disastrously extravagant lifestyle.
The older son, Scott Anderson, however, had earned himself an impressive reputation and people looked up to him in the business field.
The group hurried to meet Scott while Brianna followed unwillingly. Liam held her hand and said gently, "Come on, Brianna. It's a great opportunity. We have to make good use of it. If we can please Scott Anderson, we won't need to worry about the orders and the capital. We can have our wedding soon and have enough money for your mum's surgery. It's been delayed for too long."
Touched, tears filled Brianna's eyes. She nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you, Liam."
"I feel bad, you know, as her son-in-law to be, that I haven't got the money for her surgery. I wish..." Liam continued, sounding rather remorseful.
"You've been doing your best, Liam," Brianna said tearfully.
For the past two years since she graduated from university, Brianna had been to numerous meetings as such. She had never liked it. In fact, she loathed it, the filthy and perverted looks she received, the dirty talks she had to listen to, and even some improper physical contact she had to accept silently. However, she needed the money for her mother's surgery. Liam is right. This is a great chance.
Liam had told her that they only needed to work hard for a few years and the company would be successful, and they would have the money for a grand wedding, and she would retire if she wanted to, and she could live a peaceful life while looking after her mother without worrying about money and work. He had depicted a wonderful picture of their future life to her, and she believed in it.
Fortune Construction Company had grown a lot in the past two years and was rather well known in Las Vegas, but compared to the Anderson Corporation, it was just a speck in the business field.
Everyone, including Nelson, greeted Scott courteously.
Brianna looked up to meet Scott's gaze, and she was shocked. "It's you?! You are Scott Anderson?!" Isn't he the man that slept with me last night?!
Scott lifted his brows and sneered slightly, "You are desperate for men, aren't you?"
Brianna blushed terribly. This is an insult! What does he think I am?! However, she knew she shouldn't ever displease Scott Anderson. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Anderson." She ignored his insult and said.
"Haven't we met already? I think it was a very delicious meeting last night." Scott murmured, teasing cruelly.
Hearing Scott’s words, Brianna turned pale. What did he mean? Last night was a mistake!
Everyone sat down while the seat next to Scott was unoccupied.
"Why is no one sitting here?" Scott asked, pointing to the empty seat.
Remembering how Scott carried Brianna away in his arms last night, Nelson suggested instantly, "Brianna, why don't you sit over there? You are the only lady here. Ladies first."
Startled, Brianna looked up at Liam immediately, but he just smiled and nodded at her, "Right. Brianna, why don't you sit next to Mr. Scott Anderson?"
Brianna sat stiffly next to Scott and looked worried.
"Why are you scared?" Scott leaned close to her intentionally and whispered to her.
Brianna kept her head low and fixed her eyes on the floor silently. Just stay quiet and ignore him. She told herself.
"I like it when you moan with pleasure." He said as if he had read her mind and moved his hand off the table onto Brianna's leg under the table. He remained indifferent while stroking her leg playfully.
Brianna's heart was beating nervously fast.
"Mr. Anderson... Please, don’t." She pleaded quietly.
Scott ignored her pleading and placed his hand back on her leg. He wasn't interested in any of Liam's cooperation proposals. The more eager Liam had shown, the more daring Scott's hand grew under the table. He moved it up to Brianna's leg from her knee towards her inner thigh and advanced upwards.
About a half later, everyone was rather drunk except Brianna and Scott, who only had a few sips.
Liam winked at Nelson, and Nelson suggested, "Mr. Anderson, we have booked a room in a hotel nearby, and I wonder if you..."
Scott glanced at Brianna and replied shortly, "I never stay at any hotels except The Anderson Hotel."
That's where we slept last night! Brianna was startled.
"Ah, of course. How inconsiderate I am." Nelson apologized. "It's such a pleasure and honor meeting you tonight, and I hope we will have more cooperation to come. I wish you good night, Mr. Anderson." He stood up to shake Scott's hand and said goodbye.
Other big bosses understood and bade Scott goodbye. So, now there was only Liam, Brianna, and Scott left.
"Would you two like to stay at the Anderson Hotel tonight?" Scott asked casually.
Brianna shook her head instantly, but Liam replied with a smile, "It will be our honor, Mr. Anderson. Thank you."
"Sure. Will you have your driver take us to the hotel, Liam?"
"No problem."
When the car arrived, Liam got in and sat at the front. Brianna hesitated and wanted to ask Liam to sit at the back. Scott noticed it, so he sneered and said, "Why? Are you scared to sit at the back with me, Brianna Warren?"
"Don't be silly, Brianna." Liam reminded her.
Helplessly, Brianna sat at the back but leaned towards the window to keep a distance from Scott.
His seductive voice whispered next to her ear, "Are you being shy now? You were moaning and crying out loud with pleasure last night, asking for more."
Brianna clenched her skirt tight. She wanted to escape but dared not.
As soon as the car pulled over outside the Anderson Hotel, Brianna jumped out of the car and held Liam's arm to seek protection. However, Liam said apologetically, "Brianna, I left the contract at the club. I shall go back to get it. Why don't you go to the hotel with Mr. Scott Anderson first? I will be back soon."
"Liam, I will go with you," Brianna said hurriedly. She sounded frightened. Can't Liam see what Scott is plotting? She held onto Liam tight. Scott watched with a smile.
"You must be tired. Go and get some rest. I will be back soon." Liam spoke gently and planted a kiss on Brianna's forehead.
Unwillingly, Brianna let him go.
As soon as he got back in the car, the driver drove off immediately. Even the driver knew what was going on.
Brianna stood there helplessly, watching the car leave. Her heart was racing nervously.
