Chapter 7 Get away from me, asshole!

Hector never liked small talk because he wasn't that friendly. Especially having to be introduced as the son of Victor Andino, the father he hated.

That's why He only responded to everyone's greetings with a brief nod, not even a smile.

His laziness increased when Diana suddenly came and made a scene, He immediately stepped back and intended to leave there.

But suddenly he saw how Angelina trapped Daphne by stepping on the tail of the woman's dress and bumping her so hard that Daphne staggered back.

He reflexively moves to catch Daphne's body and hugs her tightly, feeling how her stepmother's slender body fits in his arms.

Daphne herself reflexively hugs Hector's shoulder to hold on.

For a moment, there was silence as Hector helped Daphne upright with her still hugging face to face.

"Your husband was right beside you but he did nothing when his wife almost fell!" Hector whispered in Daphne's ear.

"So, it's obvious that young men are always more alert than old men. Your old husband may give you money but not security and satisfaction!" Hector added with a sardonic smile.

Daphne swallowed her saliva and continued to calm her breathing which was still labored from the sudden movement.

"And my old husband is your father, Hector! Be polite, but thank you for catching me!" Daphne retorted as she immediately pushed Hector away and straightened her own dress, trying to remain calm even though her heart was still racing.

Hector could only let go of Daphne as he squinted his eyes and nodded before he walked away.

"Uh, are you okay, Daphne? Are you drunk, huh? It's a good thing Hector helped you! Tsk, you can't even stand up!" scolded Victor shamelessly.

Daphne could only force a smile as she heard her husband nagging her in front of many people.

"Sorry, it was a minor accident! Someone was not careful and bumped into me!" said Daphne while glancing at Angelina.

Angelina only raised her eyebrows and kept quiet as if she was innocent, while Daphne could only growl in annoyance.

"Are you okay, Daphne? I was chatting over there and didn't see you almost fall! It's a good thing Hector was there!" Damian said regretfully.

"I'm fine, Damian, it was Angelina! She did it on purpose to embarrass me!" Daphne glanced back at Angelina in annoyance.

"Ah, really? She's so outrageous but it's a good thing you didn't fall, Daphne!"

"Yes, it's a good thing! But I think I need to go to the restroom to fix my hair first, wait here, Damian!" Daphne quickly walked away, leaving Damian behind.

Meanwhile, Hector had stepped away with Tony and Tony couldn't help but ask.

"Did you flirt with that woman on purpose, boss? I saw you hugging her earlier!"

"Shit, Tony, I told you not to talk nonsense! Do you think I've lost my mind? Flirting with my own stepmother, huh? Where's your brain?"

"Uh, sorry, boss! It's just that I saw you hugging her suddenly..."

"Not hugging, just helping! Didn't you see her earlier? She almost fell and if I hadn't helped her, she would've been on the floor! Humph, Victor Andino really can't take care of his young wife!" Hector suddenly became angry.

Tony, who heard him, only nodded in understanding before his gaze caught a woman who was stepping closer from behind Hector.

"Uh, Boss, behind you, Boss!" Tony flicked his head behind Hector.

"What's wrong? Who?"

"That woman, Angelina's friend whose body was made that silicone!"

Hector, who was still frowning, turned around, and he was immediately greeted by a seductive smile from Angelina's best friend Camille.

"Hi, Hector darling... you look so handsome and dashing tonight!" Camille praises as she leers at him and sticks her chest out near Hector.

"And you're as sexy as ever, Camille!" Hector's glance traces her sexy, big-size body.

Tony always said Camille's body was absurd because the bulges on her chest and ass were too much, but for Hector, it didn't matter, as long as when they wrestled in bed, the silicone didn't just explode.

"Thanks for the compliment, Hector... hmm, I heard you've started working at the company huh? Then when do you have time to go out with me?" Camille hugged Hector's arm and continued to caress him flirtatiously.

"Date? How about tonight, Camille? I think since Daphne's been in the house, my date routine has gotten messed up too!"

"Oh, don't talk about her, darling! And about us... I'll be waiting for your call tonight..." Camille whispered seductively.

Hector only responded with a faint smile. He never refused a woman who thrust herself at him.

Meanwhile, Tony who saw it could only shake his head at his boss's habit.

Hector and Camille were still flirting with each other until Hector's cell phone rang, and he stepped away to pick up his cell phone.

On the other hand, Daphne who had just come out of the restroom was suddenly surprised when a man was waiting and greeted her.

"Hi, beautiful!"

Suddenly, Daphne turned around and immediately made a fierce face at the man, John, Angelina's husband, who was already well-known as a seducer of the master, a mediocre brain, a hobby of extravagance, and endless cheating.

"What are you doing here, John?"

John, who had been leaning against the wall, stepped closer to Daphne and tried to touch her cheek. "Waiting for you, baby!"

But Daphne immediately dismissed the hand and hit him roughly. "Don't be impudent, John!"

"Ouch, you're so rude, Daphne!" John exclaimed as he waved his hand in his usual exaggerated fashion.

"Don't ever bother me or I won't hesitate to report everything I've seen to Angelina! You're always flirting with the employees at the office and you even flirt with the housekeeper at home! You're so disgusting, John! Angelina must have been blind when she chose to marry you!"

"Oh, she's the one who begged me to marry her because she's madly in love with me, Daphne!"

"Really? Then you should just take care of your lovely wife instead of being so busy flirting with other women, John!"

John, who heard this just laughed softly and seemed not to be affected at all by Daphne's words.

"Come on, beautiful! Don't pretend to be holy, Daphne! There's no one here! I've checked the men's restroom is empty! Come on, let's go to the restroom, show me that beautiful thing you're hiding under that sexy dress of yours, Daphne! You know, I always love the adrenaline rush of having an affair in public! Haha, come on, honey! Just for a minute..." John leaned closer and grinned as he gazed passionately at Daphne.

Daphne, who was disgusted with John for teasing her, immediately pushed John's body hard.

"You're shameless! Get away from me, asshole!"

Daphne quickly turned her body to leave John, but suddenly he said something that made Daphne stop her steps.

"Do you want me to tell everyone who you really are, Daphne Laurel?"
