Chapter 012 Is He Really Better Than Me?
It rained the next day, and the weather was cooler, maybe because of the strong wind last night, Stacey had a cold and a headache.
After a quiet morning, an unexpected visitor came to the office in the afternoon, Kama was here…
Hogan had two secretaries, Janet Linos and Kama Gray. On weekdays, it was Janet who communicated with Stacey. So as for Kama, Stacey was quite surprised to see her here.
“Ms. White, are you in charge of the contract with B&A Corp. this time?” Kama looked around the room and then landed on Stacey with a smile.
“Yes, what’s the problem?” Stacey also smiled, but this smile looked extremely unnatural.
“Hogan told me last night that he would sign the contract with the company this afternoon, so please send the contract as soon as possible!”
Kama’s words didn’t mean much to other people, but they had another meaning when it came to Stacey.
Was Kama provoking her?
This statement proved that Hogan was with Kama last night.
“Okay, I get it.”
Stacey responded with a smile. If it was three years ago,

maybe she would have felt a little sad because of Kama’s words, but now, such provocative words had no effect on her.
As long as Hogan didn’t bother her, it didn’t matter who he was with.
“Well, Ms. White, deal with it as soon as possible.”
Kama said, striding out of the office.
Stacey’s return had already posed a threat to Kama, or perhaps the threat Stacey left her had always been there. She knew from the moment she saw the photo in Hogan’s wallet that Hogan had never forgotten Stacey.
But before Stacey was not there, they couldn’t see each other. Therefore, Kama felt that at least she was by Hogan’s side, but since Stacey returned to the States, Hogan spent less and
less time with her.
So she called Hogan last night, and Hogan was on her side in no time, giving Kama the feeling of winning.
Stacey sorted out the contract with the B&A Corp. and then stood up to leave.
“Stacey, I just want to go upstairs, let’s go together!” Monica stopped Stacey.
“Stacey, you look not well.”
“Nothing, just a little headache.”
“If you need me, you can tell me.”
Molly was too arrogant and rarely took anyone seriously. Perhaps it was because both Monica and Stacey had suffered

from Molly’s eyes, so Monica had a good impression of Stacey, and she hoped that she could be friends with Stacey.
“Thanks.”
Stacey kept her head down and walked to the corner of the stairs, but suddenly bumped into something.
She looked up in shock, only to realize that she had bumped into someone.
And the man standing in front of her was not an employee of the company. The man had a great figure, at least 5’11” tall. He was wearing a black suit and had a handsome face.
Stacey was distracted for a moment, and Monica beside her tugged at the hem of her clothes.
Only then did Stacey get back to her senses, she quickly apologized, and kept saying, “I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay, be careful next time, it will hurt if you fall.” The man smiled at Stacey, and his smile made Stacey feel like spring blossoms because this man was so handsome.
After the man finished speaking, he passed by Stacey. Stacey looked at his back for a long time, and Monica smiled wickedly, “I guess someone is falling in love.”
“What! No, he’s not from the company, is he?”
“You don’t even know him?” Monica exclaimed in surprise, looking at Stacey like she was a monster.
“He is Pete Bruce, twenty–four years old, the president of the Bruce Group. He is also one of the top figures in NYC, and the most important thing is that he is still single.”

Monica smirked and introduced the man to Stacey.

Stacey murmured his name in her mouth, watching his back until she lost him in sight.
“In NYC, there are not many men who are better than him.”
Monica mentioned that Pete was also one of the best people in NYC and this reminded Stacey of Hogan for a moment, “You seem to know him very well, perhaps you know about Mr. Barnes?”
“Mr. Barnes of our company? Speaking of Mr. Barnes, I bet everyone in NYC knows the name of our Mr. Barnes. He is definitely the prince charming in the hearts of many women.”
Stacey nodded, Hogan had a good family background, a high degree of education, good looks, and a lot of money. He was very outstanding indeed, but unfortunately, he was a psychopath.
“However, Mr. Barnes is somewhat different from Mr. Bruce. The Barnes Group was established in the hands of the old Mr. Barnes, his grandfather. So Mr. Barnes took over after the foundation was laid. Although Mr. Barnes is very capable and the company developed rapidly after him taking over, still the difference between them is that Mr. Barnes is a silver–spoon
kid.”
“While, Mr. Bruce started from scratch and developed the Bruce Group on his own. In terms of ability, I think he must be no worse than Mr. Barnes.”
After listening to Monica’s words, Stacey admired Pete even more.

“From this point of view, Pete is really great. The self–made man is indeed more popular than the rich kids.”
With a “ding“, the elevator stopped and the door slowly opened.
Hogan’s figure appeared outside the elevator.
“Mr. Barnes, I’m leaving first.” She looked at Hogan with a smile and got off the elevator.
Hogan took a step forward, stepping on a pair of noble and luxurious leather shoes to block the elevator door.
“Pete Bruce?”
“He’s Great?”
In the hallway, the bright lights hurt Stacey’s eyes.
Hogan’s expression was extremely bad, with him as the center, there was a cold aura everywhere.
Stacey’s fingertips trembled, and the document in her hand fell with a clatter in the elevator.
Stacey was his woman but complimented his opponent on his turf.
Stacey frantically picked up the fallen documents.
“Mr. Barnes, Kama said that you want the cooperation documents of the B&A Corp., so I sent them to you.”
Stacey could tell that Hogan was angry, so she hastily changed the subject, playing dumb.

“Self–made people are more popular than rich kids, huh?”
In her heart, Pete was better than him?
Hogan leaned down and pulled her up like a chick, his words were gnashing his teeth, and there was a kind of coldness and cruelty in every word.
“I don’t understand what you’re saying.” Stacey avoided his
eyes.
But in her heart, at least, Pete was several times better than him, a man who only threatened her.
“Stacey.”
Her wrist caught by him hurt like it was broken. She didn’t know if she was haunted or what. Since returning to the States, she hadn’t had a good day.
“Believe it or not, I can bring his head to you.”
Hogan stared at her closely, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. He was extremely possessive, so Stacey’s words undoubtedly touched Hogan’s bottom line.
From now on, both her body and her heart must belong to him completely.
“I know you can kill a person, but Mr. Barnes, that’s against the law.”
All Stacey knew was that despite Hogan’s connections and money, dealing with a human life was not an easy task.
“Tackling him is as easy as chopping vegetables with a sharp knife.”

Hogan grabbed her wrist, not wanting to let go.
“So what? He’s just hundreds of times better than you.”

Her wrist hurt, and her head hurt too. A layer of sweat seeped from Stacey’s forehead, and she was so anxious that she had thought of dying.
Stacey’s words made Hogan lose his last trace of sanity, and his breathing came fast, like a raging beast.
Hogan stepped forward and grabbed her by the neck, with hatred and anger in his eyes. Stacey could tell that he really wanted to kill her.
Hogan’s foot moved away, the elevator door slowly closed, and the sound of ‘ding‘ brought back Hogan’s last trace of sanity.
He let go of Stacey, grabbed her by the wrist, and dragged her out of the elevator.
Opposite the president’s office was the room where Hogan usually rested. According to Janet, sometimes he would work overtime until late, and then he stayed in the company.
But Monica said Hogan was often in that room with Kama.
So in Stacey’s view, this room was undoubtedly for Hogan to
vent.
Hogan dragged her into the room and locked the door.
Stacey’s hair was messed up, her sleeves were turned to one side, and she looked like a discarded doll, embarrassed, dull, with no gleam between her eyes, as if her soul had already been separated from her body.

Stacey closed her eyes in pain and kept pounding on his
chest.
“Hogan, you rascal, bastard, I won’t forgive you.” Tears rolled down Stacey’s eyes, and his compulsion made her dignity drop to the bottom in an instant.
“Before I get tired of you, you must have me in your heart.”
“Stacey, did you hear what I said?”
Stacey didn’t answer Hogan’s words, which made Hogan even more upset.
Hogan gripped Stacey’s wrist a little harder, and growled, “Fuck! Say something if you’re not dumb.”
