Task NO.1: How To Pursue Miss CEO

Task NO 1 How To Pursue Miss CEO Chapter 157

“Fine, it looks like you don’t know when to give up,” Pierre said, still stroking Selena’s hair. “Tell it to him yourself then.” Thus, Selena let out a tiny sigh, unsure of how to begin.

As he stared at the both of them, Finneas could feel that something was wrong. “Do you think it’s right of you to force a lady like that, Mr. Fowler? Don’t be afraid, Selena. Although he’s rich and influential, I’m not someone to be trifled with either. I’ll protect you.”

The pounding in Selena’s head grew stronger. Back then, she used to think that Finneas was a smart man, but why was he so foolish now?

“I’ll say it if you won’t,” Pierre said, unhappy that she didn’t utter a word. “She’s my woman now.”

He used the words ‘my woman’ instead of ‘girlfriend’ because he felt that he could overwhelm him with a stronger word.

“That’s because you coerced her into it!” Finneas cried out, jumping from his seat. “That’s enough, Pierre Fowler. Selena is merely a meek woman, she—”

“I wasn’t forced into anything. I did everything willingly.” Selena finally spoke up, unable to stand watching Finneas further making a fool out of himself. “I said things like I couldn’t forget you and such to him on the island before this because I wanted to make him angry and leave me. He was about to get married after all, so I didn’t want to cling on to a married man. However, he didn’t get married and we’re together now.” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Stunned for a long while, Finneas uttered, “No, Selena. You’re forced into this. That must be the case, isn’t it? Tell me and I can help you! You don’t love him; he’s the one who’s forcing you to be with him!”

It was difficult for him to accept such a truth because he had already filed for divorce with Megan. In order to get rid of her, he even proposed to give her two properties in addition to another compensation

in the divorce settlement. Furthermore, he even told his family that he would marry Selena, and their family business would emerge stronger after pulling through the crisis.

However, it turned out that Selena was already dating Pierre!

Shaking her head, Selena tried to calm him down. “Calm down, Finneas. I’m not forced into anything.”

“Let’s speak privately, Selena. Tell it to me in secret without this man’s presence!” For the past few days, he had been picturing his beautiful life with her, and he even wanted to have a child with her earlier so she could stay home to take care of the child. That way, he could take care of JNS Corporation in her place.

Now, however, all of his dreams were shattered.

As though he had lost his mind, he lunged at Selena and wanted to grab her, but he fell to the floor with just a gentle push from Pierre.

Frowning as he looked at his own hands, Pierre said, “I didn’t think that you’re that weak. You’re what people call defenseless, aren’t you?”

Feeling that he had suffered a great humiliation, Finneas stood up and charged at him with his fist out. Beside them, Selena couldn’t bear to watch, so she covered her face with her hands because she knew that a young master like Finneas who grew up pampered couldn’t possibly put up a fight at all.

The result was what she had imagined; after dodging his attack easily, Pierre gave him an effortless kick and he landed on the floor the second time.

As it was the peak period, many people in the restaurant turned to look at the commotion. Now that he was aware of the growing onlookers, Finneas felt more humiliated than ever. Thus, feeling the need to retrieve his pride, he got up to his feet again and charged at Pierre once more.

“You’re still not giving up?” Stepping aside from him once again, Pierre then threw in a punch and blood gushed out of Finneas’ nose.

Feeling his nose with his fingers, Finneas yelled, “You’re pushing your luck too far, Fowler!”

“You asked for it,” Pierre said and gestured with his head at Selena, hinting at her to leave the place. Since she didn’t want the situation to continue, she picked up her jacket and got ready to leave with Pierre.
