Chapter 36: Beating the Jerk
Yet, as Willow contemplated the idea of returning to her family, the thought of facing ridicule from the elders and peers within the family popped off. They may have some comments like "Wasn't Willow so confident about embarking on her career?", " Why the sudden retreat back to the family?"
Thinking about this, she decided not to give up easily!
Willow was not an ordinary woman; she aimed for success! This was her first order and she couldn't give up no matter what!
As long as there was determination and courage, any difficulty could be overcome. Willow didn't believe that she couldn't handle an incompetent man like Connor.
"Alright!" Willow gritted her teeth. "Since you invited me, I'll have a few drinks with you!"
"Great!" Connor smirked. "As long as you satisfy me, I can give you the order! The commission from this order will cover your annual base salary!"
A moment later, they were at the Blue Moon Bar.
Willow remained vigilant, even a bit reserved. In reality, Willow wasn't afraid of Connor's open advances. After all, Willow had practiced yoga and judo since childhood. Dealing with Connor, who was drained by debauchery, was quite easy.
"Willow, I admit that someone like Skyview may be wealthier than me, but is that billionaire a good person?" Connor looked at Willow with a lecherous expression. "Skyview's feelings for you are fake. His net worth is too high; he can only marry a woman as wealthy as him. I'm different; I genuinely care for you. As long as you agree to be my girlfriend, I'll give you whatever you want, including the order!"
Connor used his usual tricks to deceive Willow with various sweet words.
However, Willow saw through these deceitful words and didn't trust Connor at all.
"Mr. Mitchell, let's stick to business matters!" Willow said seriously. "I'm just here to have a drink with you; let's not talk about personal matters!"
"Alright! This glass of Romanée-Conti is a toast to you!" Connor said, opening a bottle of Romanée-Conti and pouring it for Willow.
Willow was cautious, fearing that Connor might have spiked the drink.
"What's wrong? Won't you drink the wine I poured for you? Don't be disrespectful!" Connor said. "I know you're afraid I might have spiked the drink, but don't worry. I'll take a sip first, then you can relax, right?"
Connor poured himself a glass of red wine.
Then, raising his glass, Connor downed the wine in one go.
Seeing Connor drink, Willow felt relieved and also drank her wine.
Connor showed a smug smile.
"Willow, what do I need to do to make you my girlfriend?" Connor looked at Willow with an infatuated expression. "I want you to be my girlfriend so badly."
"Mr. Mitchell!" Willow said coldly. "Please show some respect!"
"I've had enough! Willow, you're just a whore, pretending to be innocent in front of me every day! What? Are you flirting with Skyview every day?" Connor tore off the mask of hypocrisy, speaking very harshly, "Did you have sex with him on the helicopter? Don't pretend to be innocent in front of me; I've seen all kinds of women; you're just a whore!"
Willow's expression darkened completely. She stood up and said, "Mr. Mitchell, I didn't expect you to be so uncouth. In that case, I don't need your order anymore. Goodbye!" Willow intended to leave immediately.
Although the first order was crucial to Willow, she couldn't sacrifice her dignity for it!
She could consider her efforts in these days wasted and find another company for orders. But as Willow prepared to leave, Connor had no intention of letting her go.
Connor blocked Willow's path.
"Name your price!" Connor said. "How much money to sleep with you for one night?"
"How dare you!" Willow exclaimed, "Get out of my way!"
"Still pretending to be innocent! If Skyview can sleep with you, why can't I?" Connor reached out his wicked hands towards Willow. "Come on, let's do it, let's have fun."
Enraged, Willow was about to use a judo throw to teach Connor a lesson, a strong hand had already grabbed Connor's!
It was Skyview! He arrived just in time and promptly stopped Connor!
"Connor, as I've said before, if you dare to harass Willow again, I'll make you beg on the streets!" Skyview coldly stared at Connor. "Did you think I was joking?"
"Skyview!" Connor gritted his teeth. "Don't be so arrogant. Although you're wealthy, having a drink with Willow is my right. Why do you care?"
"Willow is my girlfriend!" Skyview said firmly. "And you're harassing her. How dare you? you'll regret it!"
"Yes, I am going to sleep your girlfriend. If you dare, hit me!" Connor smirked arrogantly. "It's a society governed by law now. Even if you're rich, you can't do anything to me, right? Hit me if you dare!"
"I'll hit you!" Skyview didn't hold back, delivering a knee strike to Connor's groin.
Connor let out a cry and crouched on the ground.
But Skyview didn't stop; he continued to punch and kick Connor, knocking him down and making him scream in pain! The onlookers recognized Connor and knew he was a scoundrel who liked to bully girls, so no one wanted to intervene in the fight.
Connor wanted to resist, but his body was weak, lacking strength. Skyview, on the other hand, had been working as a delivery person for two years, keeping his body strong. When he started hitting Connor, Connor just couldn't resist, only cowering and taking the beating.
After about four or five minutes of beating, Skyview finally stopped. Connor lay on the ground, his body bruised and swollen.
"You all heard it; it was Connor's request! He asked me to hit him," Skyview innocently said to the onlookers. "I've never heard such a request before in my life, but I had to fulfill Connor's wish!"
With a smile, Skyview and the onlookers laughed together.
