A Night with Her Cruel Mate

Chapter 47 Threats

Terence hung up and breathed a sigh of relief.

Samuel's agent decided to have them meet in a local coffee shop with a private room. It was a quaint and suitable place for business discussions.

When Terence arrived at the agreed time, he entered the empty room and frowned. Samuel and his agent had yet to arrive.

They seemed to have a weak sense of time.

He sat there for ten minutes, until he finally saw them enter the room.

Samuel's agent had a kind face and seemed to be in her early thirties. As soon as she entered the room, she approached Terence with an apologetic look. "I'm so sorry for being late, Mr. Chen. We rushed from the movie shoot, but got caught in traffic. I truly am sorry for being late, I hope you don't mind."

"It doesn't matter." Terence gave the agent a cold look. "I do hope that the next time you set up a meeting, you won't be late. Not everyone is willing to wait for you."

Terence raised an eye brow at Samuel. His appearance and temperament suited his company's campaign. But if this actor was arrogant, he would rather choose someone else to be their spokesperson.

"Yes, yes, you're right. We'll be more careful next time." The agent nodded her head with a sincere look in her eyes.

As soon as she finished speaking, Samuel took off his sunglasses and told his agent, "Please order some drinks for me and Mr. Chen."

"But..."

"Go ahead." Although he was giving his agent instructions, Samuel focused his unblinking gaze at the man in front of him, causing Terence to frown. There was a glint of dissatisfaction present in Samuel's eyes.

'When did I offend him?' Terence wondered.

"Alright. Have a nice chat with Mr. Chen." The woman eventually left the two men in the room.

Now that Samuel and Terence were alone, the latter sat up straight and furrowed his eye brows in confusion. "Mr. He, do we know each other?"

"Mr. Chen, you are a busy man and you don't care about the news in the entertainment industry. Of course you don't know me." Samuel chuckled. "But you are a well-known businessman in H City, so I know you."

"Well..." Terence prolonged his voice as his fingers tapped the table. "Then... when did I offend you?"

"You must be kidding, Mr. Chen," Samuel said in a mocking tone. "You are such an arrogant man. Even if you've done something wrong, you won't admit it, right?"

After hearing that, Terence would be a fool if he still failed to figure out whether Samuel liked him or not.

He pursed his lips and shifted uncomfortably in his seat. "Mr. He, I would just like to talk to you about our upcoming collaboration. However, you don't seem to be interested in our campaign, do you?"

"That's right." Samuel leaned back in his chair and gave Terence a disdainful glance. "I'm not interested in cooperating with people like you."

"Mr. He, wouldn't you like to hear what HT Group has to offer?" Terence asked.

"No need," Samuel grunted coldly. "As long as I have enough money, that's enough. I hate working with self-righteous people. So Mr. Chen, I'm afraid that I would have to decline the offer to work with you."

Terence was taken aback. With a frown, he hesitantly asked, "What do you mean by that? I'm sorry, but I don't particularly understand."

Samuel didn't mean to cooperate with him. In this case, Terence wouldn't force him to do anything he didn't want to. But he wanted to figure out the reason why he was doing this.

"You really don't understand?" Samuel tilted his head and frowned. "Mr. Chen, I heard that you and your wife just got divorced. I'm one of your wife's best friends.

Julia would always try her best to help others even they couldn't repay her back very well. Even though there are a lot of negative comments about her on the Internet, I don't think for a second that she would be overthrown by this. As long as I'm alive, I will protect her and I won't ever let anyone hurt her."

"You refused my offer for Julia?" An unreadable expression flashed through Terence's face when he heard what had Samuel declared.

"That's right." Samuel didn't intend to hide. With a cold smile, he lowered his voice to warn Terence, "I came here to tell you to stop disturbing Julia since you two got divorced. And stop circulating false information to defame her. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Terence challenged him with a scowl. He had been struggling with business for many years and had gone many lengths to threaten others. This was the first time he was threatened by someone else.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

"Otherwise, I won't spare you, even if you are the business tycoon in H City," Samuel said, his voice laced with menace. "Stay away from her."

"What if I say no?" Terence fired back, feeling jealous. 'She is really a slut. Isn't it enough for her to be messing around with Eric? Now she has Samuel defending her.'

He had truly underestimated Julia. He didn't expect her to be so popular.

Terence didn't know why he was getting so aggravated. Maybe he still treated her as his woman regardless of the fact that they were already separated. He would never allow anyone else to covet her.

"Don't you dare touch her again!" Samuel didn't care about Terence's attitude at all. He did what he came here to do. Now that he was finished, he didn't want to stay here any longer. He still had a shoot to do later in the afternoon.

"Anyway, I hope that you remember what I said today, Mr. Chen. Not everyone is as blind as you to think lowly of her, understand?" After he spat out his final threat, Samuel stormed out of the cafe. Terence was alone in the room, at a loss for words. He didn't know whether he should cry or laugh at what had just happened.

As soon as Samuel left, Terence received a phone call from Julia. "Terence, will you come back for dinner today?" she asked.

"No!" Terence snapped and hung up.

When he got back to the office, he found Jean waiting for him. Because of the news on the Internet, everyone in the company recognized her as Terence's fiancee and didn't stop her when she went to the CEO's office.
