Timothy flipped through the documents for a moment and looked up coldly at Ronald. His lips twitched as he asked, “She wants me to ask her personally?”

His tone was very flat but Ronald could still feel a chill rising from the bottom of his feet.

Ronald’s little heart was trembling and he did not dare to repeat what Samantha said. He changed his tone and said indirectly, “Mr. Barker, it’s basic etiquette for a gentleman to ask a female companion to be a plus one. Ms. Larsson hopes that you would ask her personally.”

Timothy looked at him coldly and saw through his thoughts at a glance. “I don’t suppose that’s what she said.”

Although his sentence seemed interrogative, he actually spoke in an affirmative tone.

Ronald sighed to himself and rued how difficult it was for him to be sandwiched by the pressure of both those individuals.

Timothy closed the document with a snap and curled his lips into a smirk. “This woman is demanding.”

He would not have needed her to be his plus one for the dinner if not for the fact that he had to entertain Michael.

During the entire period of their cooperation, Michael was a very good business partner with whom everything proceeded smoothly. As a result, Timothy did not want his relationship with Michael to sour, at least not for the time being.

Since Samantha wanted him to personally ask her, he would be happy to meet her and see what kind of games she wanted to play!

…

It was time to get off work at six o’clock in the evening, so Samantha closed the poker game she was playing on the computer and switched the computer off. She then got up, put on her coat, then picked up her bag, and left.

After taking the elevator to the underground parking lot, Samantha received a notification on her phone just as she walked to her car and was about to get in.

She took out her phone and glanced at it.

It was a short text from Timothy: [Come out to the main entrance.]

Samantha cocked an eyebrow.

She never thought that Timothy would compromise after his silence the entire afternoon.

It seemed that even the second personality prioritized work over everything else.

That was a good sign.

She was afraid that Timothy’s second personality would be invulnerable, but at least she found out that there was a certain aspect of his psyche that she could penetrate in.

Samantha did not hesitate and replied immediately. [Okay. I’ll be there in a minute.]

She slammed the car door shut, locked the car, then looked at her reflection on the car window and straightened her hair slightly. She then lifted her foot and walked toward the main entrance of the Barker Group’s building.

As soon as she approached the entrance, she saw a domineering-looking silver-white sports car parked there.

The window had been lowered and Timothy looked up at her from inside. His thin lips parted open and he uttered two words, “Get in!”

Samantha walked over to the passenger seat and opened the door to get in.

Timothy slammed the accelerator with a thud and sent the car dashing off at record speed.

Samantha remained indifferent and pulled out her seat belt to fasten it.

Timothy narrowed his eyes at her and was a little surprised when he saw this.

There were rare occasions where he knew who that woman was through the memory of his main personality.

According to his memory, she was no different from ordinary young women.

She was the kind who would scream deliriously if he so much as touched her and it was incredibly annoying.

In fact, he had never been able to understand, what exactly his main personality liked so much about that woman. Could it be her appearance?

The red light came on and he hit the brakes.

Then, he turned around and stared straight at Samantha and looked at her blatantly.

He had never been swayed by a woman’s appearance since all of them had the same two eyes, one nose, and one mouth.

It was not as though Samantha had a third eye somewhere. What was it about her that he liked so much?

Samantha sensed his gaze and turned around to look at him. “What’s the matter? Are you considering how you’re going to kill me?”

Timothy’s lips twitched grimly. “Do I need to think about that kind of thing? You’ll die in my hands sooner or later, just not now. After all, you still have some value.”

Samantha laughed in spite of her anger. “Is this the kind of attitude you should have when asking me to be your plus one?”

When the green light came on, the car sped off again as Timothy slammed his foot on the accelerator.

“Tell me. What are your conditions?” He was very direct and straightforward.

Samantha had already given thought to her conditions.

She did not go around in circles and said immediately, “I want you to promise me one thing when the annual dinner is over.”

“Heh.” Timothy sneered. “You want me to let go of your precious son?”

Samantha laughed. “No, it has nothing to do with my son.”

It was not as though she did not want to put that as a condition. She just knew that Timothy would not agree to it because being his plus one was not a task that carried much weight.

Timothy could not help but glance at her in surprise.

The reason she continued to be around him for so long and used all sorts of methods just to stop the divorce was simply to get her precious son back.

“What’s your condition then?”

Samantha blinked, and said mysteriously, “It’s something you can easily do.”

She was even trying to keep him on tenterhooks.

Timothy was not angry at all and felt somewhat intrigued.

Samantha observed his expression and went to seize her chances after noticing that he did not resist. “What’s wrong? Is the great Mr. Barker afraid to agree to my tiny little request?”

The corners of Timothy’s lips twitched and he laughed, “Okay!”

After settling that matter, Timothy stepped on the brakes and said, “Get off.”

Samantha glanced outside and saw that she was in some desolate area outside of town...

She narrowed her eyes at Timothy.

The second personality seemed to be more of a scumbag than the main personality.

Once things were settled, he told her to get out of the car and did not seem to care where it was that he had driven to.

Samantha gritted her teeth secretly and endured it for the time being.

She did not say anything else and unbuckled her seat belt before getting out of the car abruptly.

Timothy glanced at her and stepped on the accelerator without feeling any psychological pressure.

Samantha stood on the side of the road and let out a sardonic laugh as she watched the flamboyant sports car drive away.

Sure enough, that personality was stereotypically indifferent, violent, heartless, and anti-social!

Reawakening the main personality was of paramount importance and she had to make sure that the second disappeared forever from existence!

She was curious to see who would end up dead in the other’s hands!

Samantha walked for almost half an hour before successfully hailing a taxi. After getting in, she quickly took off her high heels and rubbed her calf.

Then, she took out her cell phone and immediately started complaining to Rochelle.

Rochelle was startled as well. “That scumbag doesn’t seem to have experienced any severe beatings!”

Samantha sneered, “Babe, I’m going to make sure he knows the meaning of pure evil!”

Rochelle pumped up the atmosphere and said, “Come on! Come on! Sammy is the best!”

After a pause, she said again, “Do you need me to get some food and keep you company for dinner?”

Samantha was a little tired so she declined. “It’s fine. I’ll go back and just eat whatever before I sleep. I have to think about the annual dinner. Who knows, I might be able to make inroads then.”

“Okay, you have a good rest. The annual dinner is next week, right? That pretentious b*tch Harmony will definitely be there. You have to make sure that you’re the most glamorous woman there, so all she can do is just stare helplessly at you!”

Rochelle thought for a moment and said, “There’s this new spa recently and they seem to be really good in what they do. I had my skin done the other day and I could immediately feel how fair and tender it became. I’ll make an appointment right now so we can go together tomorrow.”

Women never liked losing to other women. It had been a long time since Samantha did a proper spa treatment, and she had to present herself in the most beautiful way possible during the annual dinner.

She responded, “Okay.”

…

The next day, Rochelle drove to pick Samantha up.

When the two of them went into the spa, Harmony received a call from Ian. “Ms. Johnson, I just spotted Ms. Larsson and Ms. Tyrell entering a spa earlier.”

They seemed to know how to enjoy themselves...

That being the case, it was almost certain that Samantha would be taking off her clothes.

Harmony curled her lips into a smile. “Well done. The charges will be put on my tab and you can call it a day.”

After ending the call, Harmony drove to the same spa.
