Henry set down the pen, presuming he could manipulate Hannah, and asserted, “If you decline, I’m afraid I won’t be able to endorse the contract.”
Immediately, the other three men in the office chimed in enthusiastically, “Gorgeous, Mr. Phillips is extending an invitation to you.”
“That’s right. Mr. Phillips has never invited any woman to our parties before.”
“Come and enjoy yourself. With Mr. Phillips in attendance, you’ll be perfectly safe. After all, you were the one who had to beseech others to sign the contract; you must’ve frequently accompanied your boss to such events.”
“Our venue is entirely secure. We won’t allow any harm to befall you, Miss.”
These individuals spoke not like employees of a reputable company but more like street hooligans.
Hannah simply took the contract from Henry’s grasp and remarked, “No wonder the Phillips Group has fallen on hard times with Mr. Jaylin Phillips having such a son. If the Phillips family wishes to pursue cooperation with me, they should assign someone else to negotiate with me!”

Henry had never experienced such humiliation and his countenance darkened instantly.
His companions immediately closed in around him and some even considered using their sheer numbers to intimidate Hannah.
“You should be flattered by the invitation Mr. Phillips extended to you! Mr. Phillips holds you in high regard and you must attend to his needs. Don’t assume that your good looks will shield you from our mischief!”
“That’s right. If you serve Mr. Phillips dutifully, your rewards will exceed your commission.”
One of the men fixed an evil gaze on Hannah and leered.
“Do you understand why your company sent you out to negotiate deals? Serve our general manager admirably and secure this substantial order.
You’ll earn commendation from your superiors upon your return.”
After these remarks, they huddled together, sharing vulgar and repulsive laughter.

While Henry had remained silent earlier, he appeared smug as these men spoke on his behalf.
“There’s no need to take it too far.” At this juncture, Henry spoke slowly, seemingly coming to Hannah’s aid.
“After all, she’s also a friend of my sister.”
The man standing beside him teased, “A friend? Is she your girlfriend?”
“Don’t pretend. You’re well aware of your role when you’re here for business negotiations.”
“I believe she’s just playing hard to get. Refusing even the Phillips Group’s young master? It’s all an act!”
Henry narrowed his eyes and smiled. He possessed a knack for instilling doubt in women about their worth, ultimately luring them into his embrace.
“Don’t let their words upset you. They’re just speaking without thinking.”
A warm smile graced Hannah’s countenance.
