"Is Mr. Shin not satisfied nor impressed with Ms. Son's presentation?". Carlton asked him.
Jack looked at Carlton with his burning phoenix eyes he wants to intimidate him. But Carlton didn't dodge his gaze he gave him the same intensity Jack is giving him.
'Just like her sister, he don't know how to back down'. He thought while giving him a slight grin.
"Maybe..... But if I'm not, what will you do?". Jack is testing him.
"How can you not like that kind of presentation. That's the best presentation I've ever seen in my life. It is well detailed..... or are you just being greedy?". Griffin can't hold back anymore he wants to say what's on his mind.
He feels like he's bullying Azalea in front of him and he doesn't like it.
Mr. Dela MonRuiz pressed his arm tightly. When Griffin looked at him he can see the anger registered on his face. He knows he crossed the line.
Jack is already pissed. His aura turns cold and his face turns dark. He didn't liked what the young Dela MonRuiz said to him. He makes him feels like that he just bullied her own wife in front of everyone.
"I apologize for my son's behavior. He is still young and he's not as good as you in business. Sometimes his mouth do put him in a lot of trouble". Mr. Dela MonRuiz lowered his pride for the sake of everything inside the room.
Azalea felt the humiliation of her uncle Rafael when he lowered his self for his son. She wants to smack Griffin in the head. He doesn't know the meaning of patience and good talking. He just blurted out what's on his mind.
She looks at Jack and she can see he's not in a good mood now. This business meeting might really go to waste. She thought.
"Mr. Shin..... I'm sorry but I cannot choose you over the Dela MonRuiz. It's not because they've been our associates for a long time but because I'm also a businesswoman and my word is my bond. Who will going to trust me if I betray my own words". She explained to him her side.
Jack is still in his poker face. He understands her but he doesn't like the idea of working with that running mouth guy.
The murmuring sound echoes in the room again. They are already expecting Jack to leave out of the meeting area. He looks very annoyed.
"Mr. Shin, if you don't want to be a part of our project we understand you and we are very grateful for spending your precious time with us". She said formally.
None of the Son's and the Dela MonRuiz speak. They just let Azalea handle him.
"Are you kicking me out now?". Jack asked her while squinting his eyes.
"If you don't want to join our project, I won't force you. I'll look for another investor whose willing to help us". She said directly to him.
"And who would that be". He sounds annoyed already.
"Riff". She said without a second thought.
Jack frowned when he heard his name. He remembered him in the video that Trey gave him. Riff made himself Azalea's heroine.
"Riff?.... You're calling each other on first name basis now?". He said disdainfully.
"Yeah I guess... do I have to address him in different name?". She said candidly.
"Riff DePinault?..... Are you sure?". An older man ask her with surprised.
"Yes he is". She answered him back.
A lot of mumbling came like a storm. Everyone has their own opinions.
"And how do you plan to take some of his time. We heard he is a very busy person". The older man with thick glasses asked her.
"Even though he's a ladies man and you're a lady, do you think he will noticed you?". A chubby suited man ask her.
He was looking at her from head to toe and even he is not satisfied with her looks. She looks like an old maid with those big cardigan and a nerdy glasses.
"Maybe he will if I strip naked in front of him". She said without hesitation.
BAMMMM...
Jack pounds the table and everyone jolted in surprised. Even Azalea twitched from where she stands.
"Don't you dare!". Jack murmured to himself but loud enough for Corbin to hear.
And Trey who was drinking water that time almost spit out the liquid from his mouth. When he heard her say the words stripping naked in front of Riff DePinault.
'My sister knows how to get herself into trouble'. Carlton shook his head. He have a slight idea why Jack is furious right now.
"Can we talk?..... Privately". Jack asked her. He is very mad.
Azalea is in a confused state. She have no idea why Jack is so angry and why he wants to talk to her in private.
Jack rose from his seat and went out of the conference room followed by his two men. Carlton accompanied Azalea out of the conference room too.
"You can use the other meeting room". Carlton told him after coming out.
Jack grabs Azalea's hand and drag her to that room. He locked the door and closed the window blinds.
Jack locked her between the walls and his body. Azalea's back is pressing on the walls while her hands are pressing against Jack's chest.
"Who told you, you can stripped naked in front of any man". He said in a very hard tone.
"What are you talking about?". Azalea was stupefied by his words.
"Are you going to Riff's place and strip naked in front of him?". He is furious with her idea but he's trying to control himself.
Azalea just rolled her eyes. She takes off her eyeglasses and look straight to her husband's eyes.
"How can I strip naked in front of Riff if I can't even strip naked in front of you". She said this frowning at him.
Jack was stun for a moment then smiled devilishly.
"But you already stripped in front of me". Jack's mood changed in an instant.
"Hey, that's not true. You're the one who stripped all my clothes off". She said childishly.
"So, you still remember that?". He said it in his low voice.
Jack's hand came down to her face and lifted her chin with his finger. He lowered his face to her.
"What are you doing?". She asked him.
His face is so near to hers, she can almost taste his lips and it made her throat dry. Her hands grabs his suit. She feels like she needs to hold on to something.
"What do you think?". He speaks while his lips is touching hers.
"You're teasing me?". She answered him but she feels like she's losing control.
"I'm punishing you". That was his last word and he conquers her lips.
Azalea's hands grabs his nape and the back of his head. She's pulling him down to her while responding to his passionate kiss.
Jack grabs her bottom and pull her up then he pressed her against the wall. The surge of intense heat is slowly claiming his body. He deepens his kissed and slip his tongue into her mouth. He wants to taste her more.
Azalea release a moan of pleasure everytime she grasp an air. She feels Jack wants to go farther. She can feel something is arising down between her thigh and its poking her.
Jack released her lips and now he is caressing her neck. Azalea can feel his lips brushing on her skin. He is giving her butterfly kisses then slowly run the tip of his tongue to her neck. The sensation his giving her makes her body sway. She is starting to move to his rhythm.
"Azalea, are you done talking?". Carlton is shouting outside the room.
And she froze.
Jack stopped and hug her while he's still pressing her on the wall.
"Damn!". He said in a low voice.
"I'm sorry". She said softly.
She tried to move to get down but Jack hold her tightly.
"Please don't move. I need sometime". He is pleading.
Azalea feels sorry for him. She just hug him while staying still.
Jack is trying to control his self. He needs to stopped the urge of taking her all the way. He is cursing himself right now. He don't understand why she can easily ignite his desire. Just by touching her or smelling her, his libido skyrocketed in an instant.
