Chapter 71: Chapter 71

"Hello, Mr. Hutson! It's a great pleasure to meet you!" One of the men said while shaking hands with Edwin.

There are a total of Six men who come to attend the dinner conference and talk about their new project ideas with Edwin. And build a new partnership with Hutson Corporation.

Rebecca silently followed Edwin when he was shaking hands one by one with everyone.

Everyone's eyes also saw her and felt shocked to see her with Edwin together attending the dinner conference.

They actually learned from other people that Edwin never showed up himself with any woman. They didn't even get any gossip related to women with him, which is truly so hard to do until the man is Edwin Hutson.

But today seeing a beautiful woman with their big boss. They were confused and at the same curious to know the real identity of the woman.

In these six men, one of the men in a black suit's eyes is always scanning Rebecca's figure as soon as she enters with Edwin. He is not even afraid to be caught by Edwin.

His eyes were too much that even Rebecca could feel his dirty stares on her and tried to avoid his gaze.

But even realizing her ignorance, that creepy man smiling with lustrous eyes.

When this was happening, Edwin was busy with other men shaking hands and talking with him. Without realizing the black suit man's movements.

After shaking hands with everyone, Edwin, at last, shook hands with the man in the black suit who was last.

"Hello, Mr.Hutson! It's my pleasure to meet you today!" He showed Edwin a bright smile and shook his hand.

Edwin showed a small smile and nodded.

"Same for me, Mr. Baxi!"

While they were shaking hands, Rebecca was standing on the back of Edwin and avoiding the black suit man's stares whose eyes peeked at her in the middle of a conversation.

While shaking hands, the black suit man could not help but finally asked him directly about Rebecca.

"Mr.Hutson! You didn't introduce us to this young beautiful lady who is following you all the time here!" His words were gentle and filled with professionalism but his eyes just showed his lustrous expression and the way he smiled was too creepy to look at him.

Edwin who has been in the business world for too long. He completely understood and read the black suit's mind with just his actions and words. Become furious and his calm aura turned dangerous. His eyes turned sharp on him like he wanted to demolish him with just stares.

"Mr. Baxi, she is my personal secretary and brilliant employee. I admired her for her great work. So, I hope you all will make her feel safe with you!" His voice was simple but everyone could hear mockery on it with a great warning behind it for everyone which could be understood by them as soon as he completed his words.

The man who wanted to get his hand on Rebecca gulped his saliva and tried to laugh faking after hearing Edwin's statement.

"Yes! Yes! Why not!" His face lost its color while others also nodded with fake smiles. Because everyone knows very well that they can't go against Hutson Corporation just for a woman.

And with Edwin's statement. It becomes clear that the woman behind him is not a simple lady for him. He also warned them not to touch his person, even if it was just a stare.

Rebecca felt the atmosphere turned different. The man in a black suit looked a little scared while others' faces also did not look too good.

She didn't understand Edwin's words behind the meaning. So, everyone's reaction made her forehead crease.

After warning everyone, Edwin asked them to take their seats while he helped Rebecca to take her seat, sliding the chair for her beside him.

Everyone silently looked at their interaction but didn't make another comment at all.

One by one they started to talk about business firms while they avoided Rebecca's presence completely for Edwin. They don't want to make him angry by any chance.

But on the other side, the man in the black suit felt annoyed to see Edwin. But because of his powerful background, all he can do is be obedient and talk about his business proposal.

When they got busy with a project discussion. The two waiters come in their table direction.

There is a large dish trolley with them. In which they had expensive wine bottles and goblet glasses.

One of them started to serve the glass to everyone's front while the other started to serve the wine on it.

Everyone held their drink and waited for cheers together.

When the waiter, after serving wine, Edwin, gets Rebecca's side. Rebecca wanted to refuse him. But seeing everyone waiting for their wine to drink. She sighed in her heart.

And because of awkwardness, she silently let the waiter do his work.

Edwin saw that Rebecca didn't stop the waiter. So, he came forward for her and stopped the waiter.

"Stop!"

The waiter heard him and stopped pouring the wine on her glass while raising his head to look at him.

Rebecca also looked at Edwin with others.

"Don't serve her wine! Please bring orange juice for her!" He instructed.

"Got it, sir!" The waiter smiled and then left with his other partner to bring juice for her.

Rebecca looked at him with stunning eyes and thanked him in a soft tone.

"Thank you, Mr.Edwin!"

Hearing her, he nodded and then looked at all the men with a cold gaze.

"Let's toss!" He announced.

Everyone nodded with him.

They already witnessed Edwin and the woman's interaction and felt he treated his secretary too generously or he liked her.

But even after confirming that the man in the black suit could not stop himself from saying his filthy words between them.

"Ohh, that's not fair Mr.Edwin! We all are drinking wine! But you made your secretary drink orange juice! Isn't this looking down on us and disrespectful to you!" His lips smirked while his eyes filled with mocking.

As soon as he said that, Rebecca felt nervous.

Because of her pregnancy condition, she couldn't drink alcohol. But if they tried to force her.

What would she do?

Thinking that she looked at Edwin with doubt.

What if he asks her to drink even if it's just a simple sip?

She cliched her first inside the table.

She couldn't do that. She needs to think or try to apologize to everyone for not drinking with them by making some fake health issues.
