Lie Flat, Sugar Daddy

Chapter 16 Mr. Knight, I’m Having A Love Affair Under The Table

The reply came with a “click” sound.

Received.

Rae Jordan put away her thoughts and deleted the traces. She took a deep breath, thinking that she

had worried too much. As Eric Parry said, it wouldn’t be easy to ruin a listed company, and maybe he

couldn’t make it at all. She’d even thought about leaving the Knight Group. She could just leave. She

should be happy as she could start over with someone whom she once loved but couldn’t. Why would

she still care about the man who played her like a fool?

Knock-knock-knock.

Someone knocked on the door, then it was opened. A handsome man pushed the door in and shouted,

“Miss Jordan, Knight Group replied that they’re interested in our cooperative project. They asked us to

meet at the Knight Group at four o’clock.”

“Ha! Go get your stuff and come with me later!” When Rae heard this, she laughed happily!

‘What does it mean to cooperate with the Knight Group? It means money.’

If she could cooperate with Knight Group, her partner, the reputation of her company would increase.

At that time, there will be many companies that will come forward to seek for collaboration! She also

didn’t know why Jensen Knight had suddenly figured it out. She didn’t pass up this document through

the normal procedure. It was just one day after their meal, she threw the document on his desk, saying

that she wanted to cooperate with him. At that time, Jensen said arrogantly that her company was just

a small company that only had a registered capital of 200,000 yuan, then why should he cooperate with

her.

It was a surprise that he had now agreed.

Rae was happy. She couldn’t sit still, she opened the door and walked out. Her company only had one

floor, full of tables and chairs, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed. The most important thing was

that 80% of her employees were handsome guys. After all, her first requirement for recruiting people

was their appearances. Rae raised her hand and knocked on the desk of her secretary, the man who

knocked on her door just now. Then she instructed, “Ask what they want to eat, I’ll pay for the afternoon

tea.”

Before the afternoon tea was delivered, Rae left with her secretary.

When they arrived at the Knight Group, Rae told the secretary her identity. The female secretary

immediately took them to a conference room on the upper floor. Then, she served them a cup of coffee,

told them to wait for a while, and she left the room.

“Miss Jordan, when did you hand in the document of the cooperative project, why I don’t know about

it?” Her secretary picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee. He couldn’t help but look around, and this

was really a big company. The conference room was half the size of their company. There was no

comparison between the two companies as Knight Group had a building while their company only had

one floor.

“Boss always worked hard secretly, and don’t you bother. You shouldn’t glance around. Although our

company is small, we should have ambitions. Just like women, lovely though petite.” Rae said.

When her secretary heard the description, he was speechless and immediately dared not to look

around again.

After sitting for a while, a person-in-charge came in and talked to them seriously in a business-like

manner. Rae responded to the person in charge naturally from beginning to end. She answered all the

questions respectfully. She felt good about herself after the conversation. In the end, the person in

charge even exchanged business cards with her and said she would be notified when the senior

management had a decision. Rae and her secretary got up to leave. When they were in the lobby, a

group of people walked in. Rae caught a glimpse of the woman who was protected in the middle.

It was Karina Clark.

She was wearing a black dress adorned with diamonds, but she didn’t know if they were real or fake.

The diamonds glittered and dazzled her.

Karina was surrounded by at least six bodyguards in suits. When the crowd saw the group of

bodyguards entering the room in an imposing manner, they automatically made way for them.

In fact, Rae had no idea how these rich people’s brains worked. If they were afraid of being robbed,

they shouldn’t be walking around in fancy outfits that were worthy. Did they think those robbers were

idiots? She dressed fancily while hiring so many bodyguards to protect her. Did she really think she

was a princess? It turned out that people who talked about philosophy were also pedantic.

“Miss Jordan, Miss Jordan?” Her secretary hurriedly called out to her twice when he saw her frozen.

“I can’t wait. I need to find a toilet. You go back on your own, don’t wait for me.” Rae said quickly,

leaving her secretary and walking quickly towards the elevator. Karina took the elevator reserved for

that upper management. Rae wondered if Karina was going to find Jensen. Rae wasn’t a generous

woman, so she immediately decided to follow to see what was going on.

When Rae took the regular elevator to the highest floor it could reach, she climbed another dozen

floors to the floor where Jensen’s office was located. She gasped for breath with arms akimbo. She

was thinking nobody could be as tired as her in terms of finding her man is cheating on her. She

sneaked out from the back stairs. Surprisingly, there weren’t many people on this floor. She could

finally meet a female secretary. Rae was shocked, thinking how she should introduce herself. However,

the secretary just smiled at her, told her that Mr. Knight was in his office, and then let her go.

Rae gave her an odd look, then walked towards Jensen’s office. As Rae stood in front of the dark door,

she wanted to directly push the door out of habit. But once she thought that Karina might be there, she

didn’t act impulsively. She got close to the door to eavesdrop if there was any unusual voice.

She wondered if the door was too well soundproofed as she couldn't hear anything.

“What are you eavesdropping on?”

Jensen’s clear voice came from behind her.

Rae was taken aback. She turned around and saw Jensen holding a cup of coffee in his hand and

looking at her calmly.

“I, I came to look for you!” Rae stuttered.

“Come in.” Jensen stepped forward and pushed the door open.

Rae followed him into his office. When she saw that no one else was in his room, she wondered, how

could Karina still be slower than her? But once Rae thought of Jensen had agreed to her cooperation,

she hugged him happily from his back like clinging honey. He was only wearing a shirt. The

temperature in the room was just perfect. She rubbed her face on his shirt like a puppy, “Mr. Knight.

You used to despise my small company, and now why do you agree on the cooperation?”

A little smile appeared on Jensen’s stern face when he saw how clingy she was. He walked over to his

desk, put down his coffee cup, reached out to grab her from behind, and brought her to him. Today,

Rae wore a pink strapless dress with a short jacket outside, like an OL style, and she looked pretty like

a little girl.

“Because I look up to you.” Jensen reached out and pinched her face. Then, he sat in his executive

chair and looked at her, “What brings you up to meet me? I thought you’d be back with your handsome

secretary.” When he spoke of her employees, Jensen was jealous because they were all better looking

than the stars on the TV, and around 80% of her employees were male. Jensen was a bit insecure

when he thought about the group of young boys she had to work with every day.

Although he knew he looked good enough and matched her taste, he was no longer young as

graduates.

“Aren’t you confident?” Rae saw him focus on the words “handsome secretary”, she bent down, lifted

her hand around his neck, and deliberately whispered in his ear. As she spoke, her breath hit his ear.

His ear instantly turned red, and she couldn’t help but smile, “It’s okay. If you…”

As Rae spoke, her right hand was touching the buttons on his shirt and moving down slowly in a

suggestive way. She wouldn’t mind him as long as he was a man who was still able to have sex. Her

fingers tapped on his button as if she was playing hopscotch on them. Each tap on the button made

him feel excited.

Jensen’s breath had gradually become unsteady. He deliberately ignored her hint. He reached out

again and grabbed her to sit on his lap, then he changed the subject by questioning her, “What makes

you so happy, let me guess, the cooperative project?”

Rae was shocked. She felt that she was very lucky today because she could bought the outfits with a

little money. Then, she met Eric, who had promised to help her ruin the Barnes Food Company. And

Jensen also had agreed on her cooperative project. But was she too heady?

“Yes, I…”

The phone rang and it was the internal line. Jensen directly pressed the speakerphone button, and the

secretary’s voice came out from the receiver, “Mr. Knight, Miss Clark is coming up.”

Jensen ended the call.

Rae purposely didn’t get up. She wanted to know if Jensen would drive her away. But she did feel a

little guilty. After a few seconds, Rae saw that Jensen still looked indifferent and was reading his

documents as if he didn’t care at all, so she just couldn’t help but remind him, “Mr. Knight, your future

wife is coming up.”

“Oh? Isn’t my wife already in front of me?” Jensen replied.

Rae sensitively captured the sound of conversation from outside, and she knew that Karina had come

up.

She didn’t want to meet up with Karina. After all, she knew that she would lose, just because Jensen

was the only one in the Knight family who liked her.

Besides, from the glance she had just taken downstairs, she recognized the bracelet Karina was © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

wearing on her wrist which was auctioned off by Matriarch Knight at a high price. This bracelet was

obviously not worth that much. But doing a charity, the auction was just a gimmick, the point was to

donate money. Although she didn’t attend the auction, she had a client who went there. Today, her

client described the situation of the auction delightedly. The client said that after Matriarch had

auctioned the bracelet, she helped Karina put it on. This action had implied that Karina would be her

future granddaughter-in-law. Her client also encouraged her to buy the shares of the Clark Group,

saying that the price would definitely soar when the two families were allied by marriage.

Rae thought about it, directly slid off from Jensen’s lap, crouched under his desk, and said, “Don’t talk

to me. I don’t want her to find me right now. Let me enjoy a moment as a secret lover.” She rested her

chin on his knees and stayed quietly after she finished speaking. Although she said it casually, there

was an undeniable feeling of bitterness in her heart. She used to think she was awesome because she

was pretty. But after she started working, her horizon was broadened. She found out that some people

not only had good looking but also backgrounds and talents. This frustrated her because she had

nothing but a pretty face.

What was worse…

She even thought that Jensen should have a woman like Karina.
