“Miss Bentley, no need to be polite. Although I’ve had a drink, I can have the driver take us home. Or perhaps, you don’t want to go home, and I can take you to a bar…”
“Mr. Smith, you’ve had too much to drink!” Jane interrupted him sharply.
Even though she was aware of the unwritten rules in the business world, it didn’t mean she could accept them.
“Mr. Smith, I’m leaving.” With an indifferent expression, Jane was about to walk away, but he grabbed her arm.
“You little brat, who do you think you’re pretending to be… Ah!” Enraged by his angry exclamation, Jane quickly used a shoulder throw to slam him onto, the ground, causing him to cry out in pain.
Their commotion attracted the attention of others in the hall, as President Smith got up from the ground and pointed at Jane menacingly.
“You’re finished, you uncultured girl, you dare to hit me? I won’t continue the collaboration between our companies.”
Upon hearing this, Jane was about to retort with a cutting remark, “I’d rather not cooperate with someone like you.”
But before she could speak, Drake’s cold voice interrupted.
“We don’t need the collaboration anymore. Mr. Smith, please leave.”
Hearing Drake’s words, Mr. Smith’s face turned grim. In the end, he glared at Drake fiercely.
“Drake Warner, you’ve got guts. Without the information I provided, let’s see how your company handles it.”
Drake approached, looking coldly at Mr. Smith. “We can do without the collaboration, and we don’t mind losing money. However, touching someone I care about is unacceptable.
“What’s the big deal about a woman? The women I bring for you are better than her,” Mr. Smith challenged.
Hearing this, Jane glanced at Drake and thought about him going to the restroom earlier. with that woman following him. Did the two of them do something?
“Only someone as vulgar as you would be suited to those kinds of women,” Drake said with a disdainful tone.
Mr. Smith, angered by his words, glared at both of them.
Drake grabbed Jane’s hand and left without looking back. The driver was already waiting outside, and Jane got into his car.
In the car, the two of them sat side by side. Neither of them spoke first, but Jane’s heart was
filled with mixed emotions.
Just now, Drake had sacrificed such a significant collaboration for her. What did it mean?
In her impression, Drake was a person who would do anything for personal gain. In the
Chapter 95
past, he would never have given up a collaboration with the other party for her sake. He might have even forced her to apologize to President Smith.
But now, his approach was completely different from what she had imagined.
Jane could not decide if she was moved or relieved, but in short, she no longer hated Drake that much.
At that moment, her body suddenly felt hot. Jane initially thought it was because the car’s air conditioning wasn’t on, so she decided to open the window.
But even after opening the window, the heat didn’t subside. The wind blew in, causing Drake’s hair to become disheveled. He turned to her side and reached out to close the
window.
Drake’s sudden proximity brought Jane some relief, especially when she sensed his presence. She couldn’t help but lean towards him.
When her arm touched Drake’s, he stiffened. He lowered his head, and looked at the woman partially leaning against him.
Their eyes met, and her red lips moved slightly as she breathed lightly. It felt like ants were crawling all over her body.
Sensing that something was wrong with Jane, Drake asked in a low voice, “What’s the matter with you?”
Hearing Drake’s voice, Jane regained some semblance of composure and looked up at him, her eyes hazy.
“Drake, I feel uncomfortable…”
Upon hearing this, Drake quickly raised his hand and gently touched Jane’s forehead, but there were no signs of a fever.
His hand felt icy cold, and as soon as he touched her, Jane felt extremely comfortable. When Drake was about to retract his hand, Jane held onto it tightly.
“Don’t go…”
At that moment, Jane felt like she was in a burning inferno. Only this man could relieve her of the heat from this sea of fire.
Drake’s eyes turned cold, and he probably already knew the reason behind Jane’s condition. If he had known earlier, he would never have let that man off easily.
“Jane, try to wake up a little…” Drake patted Jane’s cheek, but she was sinking deeper and deeper, and becoming somewhat dazed.
After finally returning to the Warner Crest Estate, Drake directly carried Jane back to the bathroom, and threw her into the bathtub, filling it with cold water.
The icy water soaked her body, and Jane finally regained her senses. She opened her eyes in confusion and looked at the man in front of her.
“Drake…” Jane wanted to ask what was wrong with her, but when she opened his mouth, the words that came out were the opposite.
“I… want…”

Hearing these two words, Drake was stunned for a moment. He half–kneeled by the bathtub and reached out to grab Jane’s chin, his eyes filled with swirling emotions.
“Jane, don’t regret what you said.”
Jane was already in a daze and didn’t hear Drake’s words clearly. In a trance, she was. suddenly picked up and thrown onto the soft bed.
The next day, the sun shone into the large bed from the window, and fell upon a delicate and
rosy face. The sleeping person stirred, then suddenly opened their eyes.
Jane felt extremely frustrated. Last night, she had dreamt of being intimate with Drake, rolling around all night, and she had even been the one to take the initiative and hold onto him tightly.
Jane felt that she must be crazy, otherwise how could she dream of such things?
Suddenly, her gaze fell upon an unfamiliar room, and Jane froze.
This… wasn’t her room.
“You’re already up!” The voice suddenly sounded, and Jane’s whole body was jolted. She awkwardly looked towards the person beside her and saw Drake half–lying on the bed.
“You…” She lowered her head and glanced at her own naked body, feeling like she was losing her mind.
What had she done last night?!
“Drake, you’d better give me an explanation. Why are we on the same bed again?” Jane glared at Drake, her face melancholy.
Hearing this, Drake moved and pressed Jane down again.
He raised his one eyebrow slightly and said, “Don’t tell me, you forgot when you begged me last night.”
“I… begged you…” Jane wanted to say that she couldn’t have possibly begged him, but before she could speak, some unpleasant images flashed through her mind.
It seemed like she really did say those kinds of things. What should she do now?
Feeling both embarrassed and angry, Jane pulled the blanket over her head, unable to face
anyone.
Seeing Jane’s actions, Drake’s mouth curved into a small smile. He reached out and pulled the quilt off Jane’s face, then leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.
Jane was taken aback by the kiss and looked up at Drake with a complex expression. Their eyes met, and a hidden affection surged between them.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take responsibility for you,” Drake softly spoke.
Jane was on the verge of getting lost in Drake’s tender expression. She had never imagined that one day he would look at her with such gentle eyes.
