"I knew it!"

Within the confines of his office, Edwin found himself briefly lost in thought.

In the blink of an eye, Tuesday arrived.

After finishing work, Edwin changed into a meticulously crafted three-piece suit.

Edwin appeared handsome and impeccably groomed, his complexion enhancing his overall appearance.

The young and talented Edwin had always been a magnet for attention wherever he went. Despite rumors swirling about his relationship with Miss Smith, they hadn't officially announced their engagement, had they?

A multitude of women eagerly awaited an opportunity to capture Edwin's attention.

Vanessa took a seat next to Edwin, dressed in a stunning and gracefully designed white gown, radiating elegance and beauty.

With a smile, Vanessa remarked, “Finding a moment to see you is quite a challenge these days.”

Edwin, casually flipping through the invitation in his hand, asked with a hint of indifference, “Vanessa, aren't you exhausted?"

Vanessa's smile faltered.

After a brief pause, Vanessa mustered a strained smile and replied, "I'm not sure what you're getting at."

Edwin chose to be straightforward.

"When you proposed a partnership, I accepted it. So, I was hoping to collaborate with an excellent business partner, not a woman who seems resentful and constantly complains. We should avoid emotional entanglements, don't you think?"

"And what about sex? Don't you have needs?"

Vanessa blurted out, feeling her cheeks redden.

Edwin maintained his composure and replied, "At the moment, I have no such needs. If you feel compelled, you're free to seek companionship elsewhere to fulfill your needs. Just be cautious not to get pregnant."

“Edwin, you bastard!"

Edwin leaned closer to Vanessa, creating an illusion of intimacy, but in reality, he was whispering something cruel into her ear.
