Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 280 Resolute Decision

"Yes, sir," Andrew replied, standing up to take care of it himself.

"Go with her," Micah ordered Victoria.

"Right away, Mr. Clemens." Victoria quickly ushered Sadie out of the room.

Amelia's face couldn't hide her irritation anymore, and she confronted Micah in front of Mr. Waters, "She's just an assistant, Micah. Why are you so protective over her?" Micah ignored her and turned his cold gaze to Mr. Waters. "Mr. Waters, you're off this project."

Waters paled, pleading frantically, "Mr. Clemens, please tell me what I did wrong. Give me a chance to make it right!"

Micah hurled his wine glass to the floor without a word.

The sound of the glass shattering echoed throughout the room.

Mr. Waters jumped in his seat, his body going limp.

Amelia's face turned a ghastly white, her hands trembling as she clutched her glass.

Without uttering another word, the lethal look in Micah's eyes said it all-just like the shattered glass spilling its contents.

"Bring a new bottle," Micah commanded.

"Yes, sir!" The server hurried to replace the red wine and glass, much like Mr. Waters was being replaced.

Mr. Waters stood up, bowed deeply to Micah, and apologized, "I'm sorry, I was blind. Please, Mr. Clemens, have mercy on me."

After his plea, he bowed to Amelia and then left, a cloud of shame hanging over him.

Amelia sat there, her face shifting between shades of anger and embarrassment.

Mr. Waters was no fool. He could see from Micah's reaction that there was something special between him and Sadie, which was why Micah had lost his temper. His admission of being "blind" was an acknowledgment of his failure to recognize the relationship between Sadie and Micah sooner, which roused Micah's ire. Regardless of Amelia's scheming, Mr. Waters knew he should never have entertained the thought.

To harbor such thoughts, even for a minute, was a grievous offense.

His parting words to Micah were a plea for leniency, a wish for clemency.

In the cutthroat world of high-stakes business, everyone's mind was razor-sharp.

Mr. Waters knew that all too well.

"Weren't you starving?" Micah asked as he sliced his steak, looking across at Amelia. "Aren't you going to eat?"

Amelia had lost her earlier arrogance and now sat quietly, head bowed, cutting her steak without a word.

"Let's not play footsie under the table anymore, okay?" Micah said nonchalantly, popping a piece of steak into his mouth.

Amelia jolted, her hands trembling slightly as she paused in her steak-cutting.

...

Noble Summit boasted a stable, a golf course, and a hot spring resort.

Sadie and her companions were dining at the resort's hotel.

A bellhop had checked her into a room, and Andrew arrived with a maid carrying a set of fresh clothes.

Victoria accepted the clothes with gratitude, closed the door, and chuckled. "Mr. Clemens sure looks out for you, even delivering a whole new outfit, down to the intimates. Very considerate." Sadie was lost in thought on the sofa, not registering her words.

Victoria approached gently, patting her hand, "Go freshen up, take a shower, and change into something comfortable."

"Victoria, I want to go back." Sadie snapped back to reality. "Let's head back after I change."

"I..." Victoria was about to respond when her cell phone rang. She answered promptly. "Andrew? What happened? Okay, okay. I'll be right there."

After hanging up, she whispered, "Mr. Waters got kicked off the project. I need to head over right away and get the new information ready."

"What?" Sadie was shocked. "But Mr. Waters is a high-ranking executive at the Luminex Group. How could..."

"You should know why," Victoria replied with a sly smile. "Mr. Clemens doesn't treat you like he does everybody else."

Sadie's emotions were in turmoil. What was Micah up to?

If he liked her, why would he ignore her and spend time with other women? Yet, if he didn't, why would he have the Luminex Vice President ousted for her?
