His Wicked Obsession (Archer and Virginia) novel Chapter 331

Archer Vanderbilt possessed a tall, commanding physique and a powerful aura, ensuring he held his own effortlessly even while standing among several towering European executives.

With one hand casually tucked into his pocket, he conversed fluently in multiple languages, maintaining a sharp, composed expression throughout. He spoke with absolute clarity and confidence as he introduced the Vanderbilt Group's Advanced Bio-Hazard AI.

Whenever he entered work mode, the innate, oppressive dominance of a true leader radiated from him without reservation.

He seemed entirely unattainable, yet fatally attractive.

The energy tycoons nodded repeatedly in agreement. They quickly reached a preliminary partnership consensus with Archer, and two of them even scheduled a time right then and there for a more detailed discussion later.

Virginia Caldwell picked up her iced sparkling water from the table and watched him quietly from a distance.

A waiter passed by carrying a tray of exquisite sea salt caramel mousse and assorted miniature desserts.

Just as she was about to pick out something dairy-free to try, a large, well-defined hand blocked her path.

Archer had finished his conversations without her realizing it. He walked back to her side and smoothly handed her a dessert plate. "Lemon tart, apple pie, and pudding. I wasn't sure what flavor you'd prefer, so I grabbed one of each."

Virginia's eyes flickered slightly. She took the plate and asked, "Are you done talking?"

She had to admit, he was doing an exceptionally good job playing the role of her boyfriend.

"We've secured three preliminary orders. Zachary's team will follow up on the negotiations, and the legal department will handle the contracts." Archer sat down beside her, crossing his long legs.

She raised an eyebrow. "Does the Vanderbilt Group always pull in this many overseas deals?"

Archer rolled the wooden prayer beads on his wrist, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. "The overseas market is exclusive, and the barriers to entry are high. Taking a bite out of this pie isn't easy. Progress used to be incredibly slow; sometimes we wouldn't land a major deal even after months of trying."

"Then why did it go so smoothly tonight?"

Archer pulled his gaze back. His deep eyes locked onto her face as he suddenly leaned in, lowering his voice.

"Probably because my beautiful girl brings me luck."

Virginia froze for a second, a sudden, inexplicable warmth rising to the tips of her ears.
