Chapter 956 I Like Assertive Women Like You, Ms. Rayne

"Yes, I've met her before. I always remember the beautiful women I meet. Your company really has a lot of beautiful women. Ms. Langdon is one, Ms. Rayne is too." Mr. Steven's eyes on his corpulent face narrowed into slits as he ogled brazenly at the two women in front of him.

Bianca and Nina exchanged glances. Both of them thought that Mr. Steven's perverse gaze was quite disgusting.

Bianca tried to hold back her disgust as she smiled and said, Please have a seat, Mr. Steven."

Mr. Steven's beautiful secretary pulled a chair, then removed his coat with her delicate fingers and hung it on the rack. "Please sit, Mr. Steven," she said coyly.

"Yes, yes." Mr. Steven copped a feel as he sat down on the chair.

The secretary smiled and said nothing. She sat down next to him.

Nina could not help but wonder how that perverted man managed to get to where he was.

She smiled brilliantly, hiding the disgust in her heart, and poured some tea for the man. "Please have some tea, Mr. Steven." "I'm honored to have a beautiful woman pour tea for me." Mr. Steven tried to grope Nina’s fair and tender hand when he took the cup, though Nina dodged it.

"Have you had dinner yet, Mr. Steven? Do you want to order some food?" Nina said as she handed him the menu, stopping the man from having perverse thoughts toward Bianca.

"Yes, yes." Mr. Steven was indeed hungry. He would have come earlier if not that he wanted a lower price.

He had been hungry after waiting for so long.

Bianca listened as Mr. Steven rattled his order to the waiter.

He ordered many expensive dishes, including seven of the restaurant's ten signature dishes.

Bianca maintained the smile on her face. After ordering the food, Mr.

Steven also ordered a bottle of red wine. He smiled and looked at Bianca while saying, “I hope you don't mind me having a drink or two, Ms. Rayne." "It's normal to drink at the dining table.’ Bianca's expression did not change at all.

"I like assertive women like you, Ms. Rayne. Let's drink together later." Mr. Steven did not disguise his intentions of making Bianca drunk. He gestured a thumbs-up and flashed an ugly, perverted smile at her.

Nina could not stop cursing in her heart.

She had heard that Mr. Steven was not from A City. He probably found out about Riley's incident through his secretary, but he did not know that Bianca was Luke Crawford's wife.

If Luke found out that a man coveted Bianca to that extent, he would have broken Mr. Steven's legs before kicking him out of A City.

"Don't forget about me, Mr. Steven." Nina smiled. She did not want Bianca to drink too much.

As Bianca's good friend, she knew Bianca's capacity for alcohol.

Meanwhile, her capacity for alcohol changed a lot over the past three years. This belongs to - ©.

She drank whenever she was depressed, and now, she could drink three bottles of hard liquor in one sitting.

Of course, the Percy brothers contributed to a lot of it.

Bianca tugged Nina's shirt under the table. She knew that Nina would be at a disadvantage if she drank with that perverted man.

Nina squeezed Bianca's hand, indicating that she would be fine.

Mr. Steven laughed at Nina's hospitality. He continued to talk about something else.

They talk about various topics except for business.

Bianca and Nina were not worried. After all, it would be rude to talk about business before they had dinner. In any case, it would be easier to negotiate after some alcohol.

After the dishes were served, Mr. Steven did not hold back. He ate and drank with his secretary, while Bianca and Nina barely managed.

Mr. Steven thought that one bottle of wine was not enough. He hinted that he wanted more.

Bianca got the waiter to serve another bottle of wine. After pouring a fresh round of drinks, they began to talk business.

Nina took out several design samples to show him what their designers could do.

Mr. Steven took a sip of his wine, stood up, sat down beside Nina, and narrowed his eyes. "I'm old and I can't see clearly. I'd better come closer."

Nina nearly choked when she smelled the alcohol in Mr. Steven's breath. However, she maintained a professional smile and said, "Look at these designs, Mr. Steven. These are some examples from our previous projects. Our designers are top-notch. Many of them have graduated from overseas universities."

Her gentle tone of voice made Mr. Steven at ease. He draped his plump arm over Nina's shoulder and massaged her through the thin fabric of her shirt.

Nina clenched her fists and loosened them repeatedly, then continued to introduce the company to Mr. Steven.

Bianca frowned slightly. She could not tolerate it when she saw the man taking advantage of her good friend.

She lifted her wine glass, stood up, and clinked Mr. Steven's glass. "Don't you find all that talk boring? Come and let's drink, Mr. Steven." "Not bad, Ms. Rayne. No wonder you're running a successful company.

Let's drink. Bottoms up!" Mr. Steven's arm shifted away from Nina's body.

Bianca emptied the contents of her glass and shot a glance at Nina.

Nina also stood up, moved some distance away, and lifted her glass. "A toast to you, Mr. Steven."

They knew that they needed to satisfy the man's desire for alcohol or women. If they did not want to be taken advantage of, they would have to drink with him.

"Yes! Excellent!" Mr. Steven did not refuse. He also downed his glass of wine.

Bianca asked the waiter to bring another bottle of wine.

Mr. Steven was very happy when he heard that. They drank several more glasses.

After finishing two bottles, Bianca tried to go into the main topic. "Mr. Steven, now that you've seen what we can do, I believe that we can satisfy your demands. If not for an unhappy incident, we

would've already collaborated. Now that the incident is resolved favorably and you haven't decided on your collaboration partner, I think there's still a chance for us to work together. What do you think?"

Mr. Steven was intoxicated by alcohol and lust. He hugged Nina's slender waist and said, "What do you think, Ms. Langdon?"

Nina wished that she could strangle the man when she felt his arm on her waist. However, she could only smile when she remembered that the company needed the project. "I think that everything can be negotiated, Mr. Steven. I've also brought our previous contract with us..." "Were you fooling around when you quoted me that price? I've been in talks with Genial Engineering, and their prices are a lot more reasonable than yours." Mr. Steven said while moving his hand upward.

Nina turned around, took the bottle, and poured wine into his glass. The man might be drunk, but he could still bargain.

If Genial Engineering had quoted them a lower price, Mr. Steven would not have been in talks with them for so long.

Nina did not call him out on his lie. Instead, she maintained her smile and said, "You shouldn't only be looking at prices. Even though everything can be negotiated, I think that you should look for a company that you're comfortable working with. What do you think, Mr. Steven?"
