FULL NOVELXO Chapter 20
Chapter 20
Everyone was surprised by Sigmund’s sudden words.
They were shocked, knowing that Sigmund was standing up to help Becky.
This meant that this matter could only be ended after Miles drank three bottles of vodka?
But the vodka the restaurant had was with 96% alcohol concentration, and it was strong liquor. Sigmund was simply trying to kill Miles!
Miles was stunned by Sigmund’s sudden action. He was still pondering in his heat, “Becky is so capable. She got her boss directly. How could I not see it just now?”
Miles could be arrogant in front of Becky but not reckless in front of Sigmund.
He could ignore the small design company that Becky was currently working for, but the boss behind her, Sigmund, was a remarkable figure. Not to mention he had the support of the Moolery family. Even if he only had the business empire he created on his own, he was not someone Miles, a director, could afford to mess with.
Miles suppressed the anger in his heart and changed his expression to apologize. “Mr. Moolery, I’m sorry. It’s just a misunderstanding. I was joking. I apologize to Ms. Wood. Let’s get down to business.”
Sigmund curled his lips and did not say another word.
Miles thought the matter was over, so he got down to business with the rest of the group.
But when the waiter served the vodka, Sigmund personally poured Miles a small glass full of it. “It’s already served. Have a try.”
Miles took a deep breath. He saw the fierceness in Sigmund’s eyes as soon as he looked up.
Then he realized that Sigmund was a man who liked to hold grudges and was not the one he could. provoke.
Today’s project seemed to be dominated by the Starry Group, but Sigmund somehow stepped in, and Miles was disadvantaged.
If this project could not be won, it would be difficult for Miles to explain it to his superiors.
In the end, Miles had to finish the glass of vodka with a smile.
The good thing was that Sigmund did not keep pouring him vodka but pushed the rest of the vodka in front of him. After that, Sigmund said casually, “It seems that Mr. Simmons likes it very much. Take it with you then. It may be useful when you encounter such a drinking game again in the future.”
Miles could tell the threat in Sigmund’s words.
Chapter 20
Before the alcohol started to work, Miles cautiously speculated about Sigmund’s relationship with Becky.
If Becky was now Sigmund’s woman, he really could not do anything to her.
Becky enjoyed the meal quite well.
After she drank a few glasses of orange juice, the surroundings were filled with a strong alcoholic smell.
Becky stood up and went to the restroom.
After washing her hands and coming out of the restroom, she saw Miles, who had just finished throwing up.
She frowned slightly and was about to leave without saying a word, but Miles noticed her and walked drunkenly toward her.
“Polaris.”
Miles continued slowly, “I really underestimated you. You’re actually still able to work in a design company after that accident.”
After that, he added sarcastically, “You relied on Mr. Moolery, right?”
Before Becky could say anything, she heard a surprised and soft female voice coming from the other end of the corridor. “Sigmund?”
From the tone of voice, Becky could tell the particularly intimate feeling from the owner of the voice to Sigmund.
Miles was stiff all over, He and Becky turned their heads to look in the direction of the voice.
What caught their eyes were two figures.
Sigmund, dressed in a dark blue suit, had a slender figure and a lazy posture, leaning against the wall. The nearby blinds let in light, shining on his deep and handsome face. His silhouette was smooth, and his deep eyes were far apart, making it difficult to see his expression elearly.
He was holding a cigarette in his mouth. He now looked slightly less strong and cold but more lazy and unrestrained.
The woman standing in front of him was wearing a dress of the same color as his suit, with shiny black leather shoes on her feet. Becky looked at the woman from her feet to head, skipping over the woman’s good figure outlined by the clothes until she reached her sweet face.
After Becky looked at Sigmund again, she noticed the two looked like they were wearing couple’s clothes.
Their outfits were matching. Anyone who saw them would think they were a couple.
Chapter 20
Miles saw Sigmund withdrawing his gaze from him and Becky and talking to the woman before
him.
There was a slight distance between them, and apart from the woman’s slightly loud voice just now, only their voices could be heard. It was difficult to listen to what they were saying.
Looking at the sweet–looking woman, a name came to Becky’s mind, Betty.
She hadn’t seen Betty before, but that didn’t stop her from being curious about Sigmund’s only ex- girlfriend, so she had seen Betty’s photos.
It was just that in the two years since Becky and Sigmund got married, except for the night when they had crazy sex, Becky had never heard Betty’s name from Sigmund.
So Becky used to think everything about Betty was over for Sigmund, but later, reality made her realize she was wrong.
Sigmund said that he mistook her for Betty that night.
He had never forgotten his first girlfriend.
Becky suddenly remembered that this place was also known as a dating restaurant for couples.
No wonder Sigmund came forward for their small project. It turned out that he was not there for the cooperation but to meet Betty.
After a full five minutes, it was confirmed that Sigmund had no intention of coming, and Miles came back to his senses as if he was in a dream.
If Sigmund had something to do with Becky, he would have come over when he saw Miles there with Becky.
t
But he did not come over and was talking to the woman in front of him happily, without even looking at them again.
Obviously, there was probably no relationship between Sigmund and Becky at all.
But even so, considering Sigmund’s warning when they were in the private room, Miles did not dare to do anything rash now..
But he was unwilling to just let Becky go.
After a while, he took out a room card from his pocket and shoved it into Becky’s hand.
“Polaris, since I have the ability to drive you out of the design circle once, I can drive you out again. The lesson you learned last time should have made you understand what you should do now.”
After saying that, he went back to the private room, and before he left, he did not forget to give Becky an ambiguous gaze.
Becky lowered her eyes and looked at the room card in her hand, her eyes twinkling slightly. She
Chapter 20
did not throw the room card away but put it in her bag with a smile curled in the corners of her lips.
After looking at Sigmund and Betty from a distance, Becky turned around and returned to the private room.
At the moment, Betty, however, felt that the man in front of her had a cold and sullen air around him, and his eyes were filled with a strong sense of killing intent.
“Sigmund?”
Sigmund watched Becky’s figure enter the private room. Thinking about what she did just now, he tightened the grip on the cigarette in his hand and stubbed it out with his long and slender fingers.
That damn woman actually took Miles‘ room card? Could it be she was going to the appointment?
She was really brave.
Sigmund looked back at the exquisitely dressed woman in front of him with his deep eyes, and he

asked in a light tone, “What did you just
Betty paused her words.
She just felt that he was perfunctory to her. From his question just now, it was simply the truth!
“I would like to treat you to a meal. What do you think?”
Sigmund then remembered who this woman was, and his voice became even colder. “No need. I don’t think we are familiar.”
After saying that, he threw the cigarette butt into the exclusive trash can jar, turned around, and
left.
Betty gritted her teeth.
This man was as hateful as ever!
But he was also as fascinating as ever.
She ran into him on her first night back home. Wasn’t this fate?
She would not stop there this time.
Inside the private room, Miles had gone, and the dinner party was about to come to an end.
Sigmund did not come back until the dinner party
ended.
Becky did not care about it.
They were already divorced, and even if Sigmund and Betty were now in love, it had nothing to do with her.
Chapter 20
The group left the private room together. Becky saw Miles standing outside the door in front of the car as soon as she left the restaurant.
Her face turned cold.
Miles looked like he was still drunk. He said bluntly, “Ms. Wood, I wonder if we’re on the same way. or not. It’s so late. How about I give you a ride home? It’s difficult to take a taxi in the night.”
His words made everyone stunned.
Miles just targeted Becky so much if the dinner party, and now he was offering to drive her home?
Becky looked at Miles. She did not refuse but smiled meaningfully and simply agreed.
“Okay, thank you.”
As soon as Becky said this, the faces of the designers behind were filled with disgust and disdain.
Even Lindsay’s face was full of incomprehension.
She thought Becky was really stupid. How could she actually not understand what Miles‘ words.
mean?
Gerard was also surprised. But anyway, Becky was just a college student who had not graduated yet. so Gerard just took it as she did not know its hidden rules.
Almost without thinking, he was going to step forward and excuse Becky.
“No…
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Becky.
“Mr. Munoz, you all should go back quickly, too. It’s too late, and we have to work tomorrow.”
Her anxious appearance in the eyes of others seemed like she was already eager to leave with Miles.
Gerard was helpless. He obviously wanted to save the girl who was not experienced and sophisticated. Why did she not understand it?
When Gerard was about to say something else, Ned went up and stopped him:
“Just stop it. It’s impossible that she doesn’t know what you mean. She obviously doesn’t want your to ruin her wonderful night.”
While Ned spoke, Becky had already gotten into the car with Miles and left.
“Ned, you should speak less!” Lindsay said to Ned with dissatisfaction.
“Oh, you
wouldn’t think of defending her at a time like this, would you?” Ned gave a scornful laugh. “The person who was just in a hurry to leave with Miles was Becky herself. It’s Mr. Bradley who suffered a lot. He is cheated on by Becky.”
Chapter 20
Becky simply could not hear Ned’s sarcasm at all.
No one noticed that Sigmund was sitting in the back seat of the black Maybach not far away His eyes were staring coldly at the car Becky got in, and he said with his thin lips parted highly. Follow
