Chapter 1374
A Life Debt Repaid
As Sam waved at Anna, she approached him with three other ladies.
âHello ladies,â he greeted them. âIâm Sam-pleasure to meet you.â
After everyone briefly introduced themselves, Sam turned toward Anna. âDo you happen to know any nice restaurants? Please give me a recommendation.â
âSure-thereâs one with specialty dishes at a mall nearby,â Anna said.
âYou donât mind my friend joining us?â Sam gestured at Quinn just then.
Seeing that it was a woman, Anna nodded right away. ââOf course not.â
âVery well. Please lead the way, Anna.â
As they headed to the restaurant together, Sam was having a fun time chatting up the ladies even with Quinn at his side.
Quinn pursed her lips, feeling miffed since he used to mess around with Saunderia employees before as well.
Truly, a leopard never changes its spots.
She scowled as she followed them into a restaurant, where Sam passed Anna the menu in a chivalrous manner. âOrder whatever you like.â
âAnything goes?â Anna asked for confirmation, obviously warming up to lot less cagey than the typical Zidonian woman.
âOf course.â Sam nodded cheerfully, and the women excitedly made their order.
As they waited for dinner to be served afterward, Sam presented each of them with a bottle of the same perfume from before.
While they traded glances, hesitating to accept it, Sam shrugged nonchalantly. âItâs really nothing. Itâs so cheap that it wonât even count as a bribe.â
The women ultimately gave in to temptation and accepted the perfume, although Anna hesitantly returned it to Sam.â You already gave me one at the lobby.â
âAre you kidding me?!â Sam exclaimed with exaggerated shock. âWhy would I give something I used to you as a gift? Look, Iâm serious that the earlier bottle was for the lobby. I know thereâs cameras, so letâs err on the side of caution. Just tell your bosses that a client left it if they asked.â
Anna was obviously touched by Samâs wordsâhe was actually so thoughtful!
In reality, she had already kept that bottle in her handbag, and her superiors would punish her if they were to find out. However, if she âconfiscatedâ it, they surely could not say anything about that.
âThank you,â she said then.
Sam flashed a dashing smile at her.
His looks fit even the aesthetic values of those from abroad, what with his thick brows, large eyes, a high nose bridge, chiseled facial features, his muscular figure, and six foot four frame.
Quinn was left feeling grumpy even as he watched the women sliding peeks at Sam on occasion, even though she knew that Sam was doing this for his work.
As such, she turned away and kept her eyes glued to her phone even though she could hear Sam having a fun time with the ladies.
The man was truly a pick-up artist.
Nonetheless, when everyone ate and sipped on their wine, Anna finally asked, âSam, could you tell us what youâre scheming by buying us dinner and presents?â
âNothing, really. Just making friends.â
âReally?â Anna looked him in the eye before adding bluntly,â You want me to help you set up a meeting with Mr. Craig, donât you? Itâs not like I donât want to help you, but thereâs only that much I can do as a receptionist.â
âWhy would I trouble a beautiful woman like you? Iâm not like that,â Sam said with the air of a perfect gentleman.
Anna giggled, clearly amused.
Seeing that the timing was right, Sam finally got down to business. âIâd just like to know the manâs interests and his address.â
