Chapter 728 Keeping Secrets

“How would I dare to ask a young lady of the Olsen family to drink with me? I will be in serious trouble if

your father finds out,” Dexter joked and smiled, but his gaze remained stern.

“Anyway…”

“Stay with me.”

Those words pulled at Heather’s heartstrings.

This dinner gathering was to discuss a project. Although there was some alcohol, it was at a moderate

level. Heather sat beside Dexter, listening to the discussion attentively.

After some time, Dexter’s business partner finally noticed Heather. “Miss, you look familiar. You remind

me of Mrs. Russell. Are you…”

Heather turned to Dexter immediately.

Dexter answered calmly, “She’s my assistant. You’ve probably seen her when she sent documents to

your company this morning.”

The business partner asked his secretary. His secretary nodded, confirming the truth of Dexter’s words.

“I’m sorry. I overstepped. The person appeared embarrassed.

Heather excused herself to go to the washroom.

Heaven on Earth had many private rooms. Apart from Dexter’s meeting, there was another dinner

gathering at the back. The gathering sounded lively, but there was a sudden disturbance, and someone

suddenly kicked open Dexter’s door.

It was Summer. She came in with a glass of wine and said, “My, my, aren’t you Mr. Redford of Sphinx

Corp?”

Mr. Redford glanced at Dexter before replying to Summer awkwardly, “This…”

Summer had a business gathering tonight and wore a fur coat. She looked sultry as she approached

them. “Mr. Redford, how could you betray me? I’ve requested a meeting for a month, but you always

refused. I didn’t expect to bump into you here.”

Mr. Redford’s face flushed embarrassedly. “Ms. Olsen, I have some matters to discuss with Mr.

Wickam.”

“What is it?” Summer appeared drunk and behaved recklessly. “Don’t tell me it’s the construction in the

south area.”

No one responded.

Dexter leaned into his seat and looked tired.

“I’m right then.” Summer raised her voice. “But I won’t accept this. The Olsen family’s proposal and

fund were as good as Russell Group’s! Why didn’t you choose us!”

Mr. Redford Tooked at Dexter as if asking for help. “It wasn’t because the Olsen family is not good

enough. We felt Russell Group’s proposal was more suitable for Sphinx Corp.”

“Suitable?” Summer laughed as if she had heard a joke. Fury surged within her, but she had no way to

vent it. She threw the wine glass on the floor, causing the glass to shatter everywhere. “I’ve worked as

a researcher for three years. How would I not know what’s suitable for your company?”

Then, she glared at Dexter, who remained silent, before stomping away in her high heel shoes.

Mr. Redford was nervous even after she left. “Mr. Russell, who knew this Ms. Olsen has such a

temper?”

Dexter gave a vague smile. “She wasn’t like that before.”

Half an hour later, Dexter bid Mr. Redford farewell and watched him leave in his car.

Heather stood behind Dexter. The wind was cold at night. She clasped her hands to stay warm. “Dex, I

heard Summer came by and caused a scene.”

Dexter gave her an ambiguous glance. “She was distraught about losing the project with Sphinx Corp.

It will most likely damage her status in the Olsen family.”

Heather seemed confused about his words.

Dexter had instructed Heather to send documents today. She had plenty of opportunities to leak

secrets to Summer during this period.

Yet, Summer’s reaction from just now proved Heather did not reveal anything. In other words, Heather

had fulfilled her duties.

“Yes, I will comfort her when I’m home. I don’t think Dad will punish her over this.”

Heather seemed unaware of the situation and did not pick up Dexter’s hint.

Neon lights lit up the night scenery, allowing Dexter to glimpse her gentle expression. His heart

softened/ slightly.

Perhaps I shouldn’t only treat her as a pawn. If there’s a chance, I should treat her as a friend.
