Sally inhaled deeply and recognized the strong scent of perfume in the restroom.
She almost suffocated from the stench.
While handing Cooper a coat from a carrier bag, Sally smirked and teased, “Maybe she spritzed just a touch too
much perfume in her eagerness to see you.”
She could not help adding, “After all, Mr. Sutton, it's impossible to resist your gentle ways.”
Cooper shot her a displeased glare.
Right then, Sally removed her uniform jacket and dried the damp fabric with a hairdryer.
She seemed to have sensed Cooper's gaze even without raising her head as she replied flatly, “You didn't have to
say a thing, and Ms. Yerton and Yasmin were about to ready to go to blows for you.”
“You remembered everything from before, huh? Should I be complimenting your excellent memory or your
concern for me?” asked Cooper.

Sally retorted firmly, “My excellent memory, of course.”
Cooper shook out the coat and draped it over his exposed torso. “How do you think they would feel after learning
that you swooped in for the final victory while they were fighting each other for my attention?”
“That has nothing to do with me,” Sally corrected immediately. “You were the one who forced me to marry you, Mr.
Sutton.”
Her response caused Cooper to huff in amusement. “So I shouldn't have saved you from the police station, then?”
“Well, you didn't have a choice. You can't find another woman who's this intelligent and willing to help you.” Even as
she praised herself, Sally's expression seemed colder than ever.
He could not think of a comeback to her argument.
After all, Sally was telling nothing but the truth. While Tiffany could help him raise two kids, only Sally could assist
him to take on the Gaudette family.
Plus, Sally was whip-smart, and she could easily guess his thoughts without him sharing them.
They seemed to have an inexplicable telepathic connection.
Cooper picked up the glasses from the restroom counter and put them on. Then, he asked Sally, “How did you put

up with their scathing remarks in the private room that night?”
That fateful night, after Sally received Josephine's call on her way back to the city, she immediately fired a text to
Cooper and drew up a scheme together.
Josephine was fooled into thinking that she had accidentally bumped into Cooper on her way to the restroom. In
fact, he had been waiting for her the whole time and deliberately knocked into her, spilling whiskey onto her coat.
Meanwhile, Sally called Cooper and kept the line engaged even before entering the private room at the bar.
Thus, Cooper heard every nasty comment Josephine and her friends had thrown at Sally.
Even he felt uncomfortable listening on the other end of the line as they mentioned Gerald's scandal. He could not
imagine how Sally must have felt while facing their taunts in person.
Rather impressively, Sally remained stoically silent the whole time and even texted Cooper to drop by with roses
when the time was right.
At that moment, Sally lowered her gaze to the uniform in her hands and uttered coldly, “Josephine invited me there

because she wanted to humiliate me, so of course, I had to let her have her way. Besides, the worse off I seem, the
more likely they are to lower their guards. That makes our plan easier.”
Cooper arched a brow and asked, “Does that mean Josephine's indifference toward me the past few days and my
success in asking her out today were well within your expectations?”
She replied in the affirmative. “Josephine has always been jealous of my beauty and intelligence. She's also a vain,
materialistic woman. Since you're handsome and rich, she probably thought I sold myself to you because I was at
my wit's end. To ignore me and flatter Josephine now is the perfect boost to her ego.”
After hearing her deduction, Cooper could not help but mutter, “Thank goodness Genevieve isn't you. I'd be dead a
long time ago if she was as dogged as you.”
In fact, even Armand would be dead meat if Genevieve shared Sally's personality.
Cooper lowered his gaze and stared at Sally's striking profile. He found her wiliness borderline creepy yet somehow
appealing.
Suddenly, he grasped Sally's wrist and pulled her toward him.
Sally was a strong woman, but she feigned weakness and stumbled before him.
The woman then raised her head slowly and shot him an icy gaze. “What are you doing?”
“Aren't you the smart one?” Cooper shot back.
Smirking, Sally grabbed Cooper's coat collar and got on her tiptoes, planting a kiss on his lips.
