Ceo Unrivaled Chapter 74

"Fine! Since you are challenging me, I will definitely celebrate once your squad gets disqualified!" Drake stomped his feet and walked away. His face looked disoriented out of anger. But since the lady countered his threats with harassment, he had no choice but to leave!
"Jing Jing, you are no good! We will sue your company for this too! And you, young miss! No matter how good the skills of your group are, it is useless once you get disqualified!" the woman behind Drake spoke before she turned around and followed the man.
The team leader reluctantly departed with AN beside her.
"Wow, are we going to be disqualified because of an interview?" Claire crossed her arms on her chest while watching the figures of Drake and his companions marching in the hallway.
"We have no obligation to comply with their request," Sofia said while taking a deep breath. She combed the side of her hair and gathered them behind her ear. The redness of her skin just above her jawline was visible to see.
Sofia does not have any grievance nor animosity of the FDS Press Company. She was not even so concerned about their status. It just so happened that she met Jing Jing which gave her a preference to work with her.
However, if the FDS Press Company would create an issue and attack her, she would be willing to face the group with her head held high.
Meanwhile...
Unbeknownst to the group, a war among the netizens was also happening on social media because of this pimple in Sofia's face! Some joked about it while others have been defensive for her. The issue was circulating but the center of the topic does not seem to care.
On the other side, the three figures on the booth were also stupefied.

"My gosh! This young lady has a stronger backbone than the two of us combined, Jing Jing!" Rica whispered while observing Sofia. Even Maxwell looked at the group with admiration and respect. It was such a rare sight to see a teenager calmly confronting someone older than her.
Not only that this young lady looked brave, but she was also able to subdue the man in less than a minute!
Only those who possessed a terrifying psychological power can establish this kind of dominance. Even those nurtured sons and daughters with noble backgrounds could not emit this kind of impact.
In the world of media, they have witnessed several disagreements and fights. They also interviewed many unruly and aggressive people. This kind of confrontation was not new in their eyes, but such a thing usually involved shouting and yelling to the point that it would become physical!
"This young lady has the potential to go beyond the successful figures in the real world," Maxwell mumbled with a meaningful look on his face.
"We negotiated the contract earlier," Jing Jing subconsciously responded. Her face also revealed deep admiration. 'It might be early to judge but I could not deny the fact that this young lady is more than capable. Whether it is a corporate affair or a direct confrontation, her potential is beyond her age,' She secretly added.
"Sometimes, this kind of personality is copied from the gaming character. When players play a strong character, they will also be influenced by the character," Maxwell analyzed. He believed that Sofia's undaunting personality was a result of having a strong gaming character. The lady may have imitated her in-game character and act it in real life.
"Is that really possible?" Rica absentmindedly asked in full doubt.
"Why else could that five look dignified? That really possible, hon," Maxwell brushed Rica's shoulder as the two shared a gentle smile.

When Sofia turned her attention back to Jing Jing, her smile looked friendly.
"Sorry about that. It's a misunderstanding," she muttered.
"Yes, I think so. Anyway, Sofia, this two are my companions. The beautiful lady is named Rica. And this gentleman is Maxwell," Jing Jing pursed her lips and introduced the two.
"Hello, seniors. I'm Sofia, then, my teammates, Claire, Clark, Joey, and Stephen," she replied casually but she sneaked a glance at the man sitting next to Jing Jing.
"Oh, I know you! You are from the Gu family! Your family has a partnership with my father. But you probably did not know me!" Clark chuckled while staring at Maxwell.
"I know you, hehe. You are the youngest son of the Zhang's. But, we have never had a chance to meet in the past," Maxwell immediately recognized Clark.
The two men proceed to exchange more pleasantries when Sofia stiffened just by hearing the full name of the man.
Maxwell Gu.
'Wow! In my previous life, my secretary's husband is named Maxwell Gu! But in this life, he is in a relationship with her friend?' Sofia bit her lips and thought deeply.
Sofia's eyes slowly darted to Rica and the lady also looked at her. Both of them offered a friendly smiled before they look away.
'In my previous life, Miss Jing Jing is already married when she worked as my secretary. Now that I think of it, this Maxwell indeed had the same look as her husband... Ahhh, I don't have to get involved with their affairs... But, could it be that Jing Jing snatched Maxwell from her friend? Or how did they become husband and wife in my past life and not in a relationship now?' Sofia continued to ponder. But because she also had no basis and past experience when it comes to relationships, she could only wonder.
"Shall we start the interview?" Jing Jing happily chirped without noticing the sudden seriousness of Sofia's face.
"I'll hold the camera while Jing Jing and your group will do question and answer," Rica also beamed with an expensive camera in her hands.
"Yes, let's start!" Sofia inhaled and then ignored the slight burden that she felt in her chest. 'The two seemed to have a good relationship, I wonder what twist of fate their future holds.' A last lingering thought escaped in her mind.

A Challenge To An Arranged Marriage
"Ian? Please. Why are you not answering me?" Lisa shouted raising her voice to probably gain his attention."You want to know the truth?" Ian replied shifting his head away from the painting to look directly at her, staring into her eyes. While he started taking small steps in her direction."You really want to know why we are here." He asked again still moving forward. His voice was deep and hoarse and the way he was looking at her, made her take some steps back that was until her back hit the wall. Without saying anything he leaned forward placing both of his arms around her so that she was now trapped between him and the wall. He moved his face forward directly in front of her.Lisa could feel his hot breathe on her neck as he bent forward to place his mouth on her neck, placing a tender kiss there. Lisa took a large gulp of air trying to control the tingles, she was feeling down there."I was jealous, Lisa," He breathed out in her ears placing yet another kiss just below her earlobe. "I was jealous when you took hold of Cole's hand. I was jealous when you let that piece of shit place his hands on you. I was jealous when you danced with him. I was jealous, Lisa, very jealous." He continued as he removed his mouth from her neck, leaning forward to stare directly into her eyes."So let me tell you the truth. I am a very possessive man, Lisa and I don't share what's mine. And when it comes to you I certainly can't control myself." He concluded as he closed the gap and placed his lips on her.
