Chapter 317:

Ten minutes later, Leland returned, his expression uncertain because Kian hadn’t answered his call.

As he approached Zach, he noticed that her

The sight momentarily distracted him. He figured Kian was done with Zola by now.

Besides, Zola had seduced him this time.

Taking a few steps closer, he made up his mind.

"Miss Murray, have you decided?" Leland inquired as he took a seat. "Are you really sure about this project?"

Zola, resting her chin on her hands, gave him a captivating look. "Absolutely, Mr Walsh. I'm all in. I'd like to sign the contract today?

Leland was drawn to her beaming smile and placed his hand on her shoulder.

His fingers, thick and rough, pressed down a little too hard.

Zola was slightly uncomfortable.

When his hand started to move under her shirt, Zola quickly stopped it,

"Mr Walsh, just to be clear. Are you giving me this project or not?" she asked.

"What are you going to give me in return?" Leland said, squeezing her shoulder.

Zola's expression darkened for a moment before she regained her composure, "I'm interested in this project because Apex Group is fully capable, MIL Walsh, I hope you'll choose us based on our capabilities."

Leland said, "I like you. [If you impress me, why shouldn't L give you the project? Do you really want to waste more time discussing this?"

He looked around and noticed that they were alone, even the waiters were not here. Let us not play games. You knew what this meeting meant.

I need a clear answer, ME Walsh_ Are you suggesting I need to sleep with you to secure this project& Zola asked bluntly.

The room was secluded, the lights dimmed. The large dining room rug was designed to muffle the sounds and make their conversation private.

Leland did not hesitate. With a yin, he confé;sed, "Yes, if you're ready, then there"s no reason to delay!"

Impatiently, he reached out and tugged at Zola's shirt.

Her black bra had been partially removed by him, Zola hadn't expected his brashness. With a shocked gasp, she found herself being dragged to the floor by him.

The next second, Leland was picking her up from behind and throwing her on the table, pulling up her dress to reveal her thighs,

"Let me go! Don't touch me, you bastard!" Zola cried out, panic gripping her as she struggled, she could feel the heat from Leland's body now, he had already removed his trousers.

She had planned to escape while he was undressing, but everything had happened faster than she had expected.
