The sweet, rich smell of black coffee wafted through the VIP lounge. Due to the force of gravity and my carefully controlled position, the dark brown liquid flowing out of the cup had completely drowned the most important documents in the contract signing. The documents that were clean and tidy just a moment ago could no longer be used.

The development of the matter was as I had expected. At this moment, I was very satisfied with the destructive effect of this cup of coffee. Looking at the messy conference table, I couldn’t help but reveal a smug smile.

According to the unwritten rules of the financial industry, when a company wanted to sign an investment contract that involved over ten billion, it usually needed to go through layers of procedures from the bottom to the top. Only when the procedures were complete would they sign the final contract. Therefore, I was almost certain that this contract would not be signed anytime soon.

I was in a particularly relaxed mood now. I felt accomplished. I even almost applauded my own wit. However, the smile on my face had yet to freeze, I heard an angry roar behind me. “Ah! What have you done!”

I didn’t even need to turn around. I knew that the investment manager must have seen this scene. I quickly tried to find an excuse to temporarily calm down this furious and stupid man.

I turned around and revealed a very apologetic expression. I quickly explained, “Uncle… I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean to…”

Since I had already achieved my goal, the most important thing now was to ensure my own safety.

“You ignorant brat, do you know that you’ve ruined my plans!” The anger in the investment manager’s heart had almost reached its peak. Because he was too angry, his entire face had turned red, the arteries in his neck had become very obvious.

However, now was not the time for him to settle the score with me. Compared to being angry with me, saving his contract information was obviously more important. The investment manager quickly rushed to the conference table and picked up the important documents from the coffee liquid that was still flowing around.

He carefully threw the coffee liquid down, hoping to throw it to the ground as much as possible, while carefully checking how damaged the documents were. As the investment manager saw the irreversible damage, he couldn’t help but sigh. He held the information in his hand and felt his heart ache.

Looking at the situation before him, I guessed that he must not have known that I did this on purpose. I wanted to quickly pretend to be pitiful and muddle through this matter. Otherwise, what awaited me would be a beating.

“Uncle, I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean to dirty the documents. I was too…”

Before I had time to explain further, I turned my head and caught a glimpse of the two important clients who were standing beside me. Their expressions were even uglier than the investment manager’s. Their eyes were fixed on me as if they were about to burst into flames.

“Don’t listen to this little liar’s nonsense!” One of the clients interrupted me and pointed angrily at my nose. “I saw it with my own eyes just now. She clearly poured coffee on purpose on the documents!”

The two important clients exchanged glances with each other. The two of them started to block my way from east and west. One of them loosened his tie as he walked, while the other rolled up the shirt on his sleeve, his strong forearms were exposed. It was obvious that two people were coming to grab me!

Although I was a mature soul from the 21st century, when I saw two tall and strong adult men coming to capture me, my heart was filled with fear and nervousness, my palms and forehead couldn’t help but break out into fine beads of sweat.

The two men opened their hands and quickly walked over. I hurriedly took a deep breath, forced myself to calm down, and thought of an escape route. As long as I could run out of this VIP lounge, everything would be fine. After all, in the company, in front of so many people.. they wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.

Just as the two of them were about to grab me, I used my petite body to directly slip under the guest table. The two men pounced on nothing..
