He never expected that the man he saw last night⦠would turn out to be Weston Ford.
Even his father had never seen Weston Ford in the flesh.
He had only seen Weston from afar one time at a business event, but Weston did not know him at all.
The redhead had frequently heard his dad praising Weston for being a young yet capable entrepreneur, yet he never expected Weston to be so young and good-looking.
According to his limited knowledge, successful people in the business world basically looked like his father: pot-bellied, greasy, almost bald, and almost always surrounded by scantily clad women.
In business circles, wealthy men who were not ugly were considered hunks.
However, it was his first time seeing a truly handsome businessman like Weston.
âIâm sorry, Mr. Ford. I was blind and offended you by accident last night. Please forgive meâ¦â
He immediately stepped forward upon his fatherâs signal and gave Weston a respectful and reverent apology.
Weston remained silent as he toyed with his pen, which twiddled around his fingers.
The man immediately got his hint.
âI was just discussing outside with your assistant Ben about the shares of some of our chain storesâ¦
Mr. Ford, if youâre interested, I can give them to you!â
He was a sensible man, after all.
However, Weston remained unmoved.
The redhead standing at the side began feeling upset at the sight of his father fawning all over Weston.
He took a cautious step toward his father and whispered in his ear, âWhy are we giving him benefits when he was the one who hit me? Whatâs more, I didnât even get the upper hand last night. Isnât an apology sufficient?â
glared at him coldly, âStop talking nonsense! Do you want to land yourself in the hospital?â
It was all his fault for neglecting to teach his son. He was almost an adult, yet he remained clueless about such things .
The redhead felt indignant but dared not utter a word. He inched back to his position and stood in place silently.
He couldnât really catch what his dad said to Weston, but he knew that Weston was only appeased after his dad promised to make him apologize to Stella. Their family assets even took a hit while trying to compensate Weston.
That was when the redhead began to regret it. If only he knew the outcome of his actions, he would never have provoked Stella in the first place.
Both of them eventually left the Presidentâs office.
Coincidentally, Ben brought another person over.
It was a beautiful lady, and the redhead couldnât help but sneak a few more glances at her.
His father immediately knocked his head hard. âHave you been taught enough of a lesson? You better watch your roving eyes, lest I gouge them out of their sockets one day!â
Guinevere followed right behind Ben, suppressing her anger until she could ask Weston for an explanation. Upon hearing the commotion in front, her brows furrowed as she asked Ben,â Who are the two of them?â
Ben said indifferently, âTwo insolent suppliers who donât know their place. Theyâre not important. Mr.
Ford is waiting for you in his office. Iâll bring you in right awayâ¦â
Guinevere retracted her gaze.
However, when she walked past the redhead, curiosity got the better of her, and she subconsciously glanced at him.
The redhead dared not look at her and followed the middle-aged man in front of him out of the place.
The middle-aged man huffily said, âYou better rein yourself in when youâre outside. If you see another woman, find out if sheâs attached, lest you might encounter the woman of another bigshot! You canât afford to offend any of them, do you understand? This is especially so for exceptionally beautiful ladies. Donât bother craving after them; theyâre probably all taken!â
The redhead was clearly indignant and upset by his fatherâs words, but he had no choice and could only nod obediently. âI got itâ¦â
Guinevere overheard their conversation. She retracted her gaze, but her eyes had turned cold.
