He turned around, smiling, and patted the seat next to him.
“Sandy, come sit here…”
Sandria: “…”
Was he really going to shamelessly tag along?
Antony let out a cold laugh, surprised at how little shame Fulbert had.
But given Fulbert’s status, and the fact that he was already in the car, there was nothing Antony could do.
He had no choice but to get in as well.
But the ride was anything but peaceful.
“Mr. Merritt, when are you going to get a new car? You’ve made so much money, don’t be so stingy.”
The Mercedes-Benz Viano was spacious, but with two men over six feet tall and Sandria at five-seven in the back seat, it felt cramped.
Antony retorted coldly, “Mr. Ortega, if you think my car is too small, why did you get in? If you’re uncomfortable, I can have the driver stop at any time.”
“No need for that,” Fulbert waved his hand.
The next moment, as the car turned a corner, Sandria lost her balance and fell against Fulbert.
With a soft fragrance in his arms, Fulbert caught her steadily.
“Sorry, Mr. Merritt. A child suddenly ran onto the crosswalk, and I was afraid of hitting someone, so…’
The driver, frightened, quickly apologized.
But Fulbert just smiled and suddenly said, “Actually, this car is pretty nice.”
Antony was so angry he clenched his teeth, almost wanting to fire the driver.
Amidst the silent rivalry between the two men, the car finally stopped steadily in front of an upscale restaurant.
When they arrived at the reserved private room, everyone was already there.
Antony straightened his collar and formally introduced everyone.
“This is Sandria, my partner for the new project we’re developing together.”

Everyone’s attention was focused on Sandria’s appearance.
“Hello, Ms. Schroeder. I’m Jordyn Floyd.”
“I’m Trevin Guerrero.”
Everyone introduced themselves in turn, but remained neutral toward Sandria.
She was so strikingly beautiful that, if they didn’t know Antony wasn’t the type to judge by looks, they might have thought she was just a pretty face.
After the introductions, everyone noticed another man with an extraordinary presence.
“Mr. Merritt, this is-”
“I’m Fulbert. Nice to meet you.”
Fulbert?
The founder of Skyline Technologies? Weren’t their companies competitors? Why did Antony come with Fulbert?
They’d never heard of the two being friends before, or even having any interaction.
After the food was served, everyone chatted as they ate.
At first, Jordyn and the others were still skeptical of Sandria, until she pointed out the core of the new project, making their eyes light up.
“I didn’t expect Ms. Schroeder to be such an expert, so knowledgeable about the ins and outs.”
“Just a little,” she replied modestly.
Sandria humbly added at the right moment, “There are so many websites on the market now. The one we develop must be innovative and cater to users’ needs…”
The more they learned, the more they admired Sandria.
Antony and Fulbert sat on either side of Sandria.
As the conversation wound down, Sandria lowered her head, ready to eat.
Fulbert picked up a piece of meat for her. “Eat more, you’re too thin.”
Not to be outdone, Antony also served her some meat. “Yes, you really should eat more. Have some vegetables too, for a balanced diet.”
The two men, with Sandria in the middle, kept serving her food back and forth.
Their enthusiasm made it hard for her to breathe.
Did these two see her as some kind of prize in their competition?

She put down her fork and stood up, forcing a smile.
“You go ahead and eat. I’m going to the restroom.”
Once outside the private room, Sandria let out a breath, finally feeling a bit calmer.
As she turned a corner, she almost bumped into someone coming from the opposite direction.
The familiar scent of men’s cologne hit her first. When Sandria saw the familiar features, she turned to leave without a second thought.
