Chapter 1730 Messing Around

Author: Luna Howl
Lance slowly leaned down. He gazed at her tear-stained face, and a smile suddenly crept across his lips. He pinched her chin. "Do you know why I brought you here?"

Barbara was trembling with fear. "I don't know ..."

Lance reached out to wipe away the tears on her face, and his smile suddenly softened.

"Mr. Stark really likes girls like you. His assistants and secretaries are all young and beautiful women, and you happen to fit his aesthetic.

With that, he stood up, his voice taking on a colder tone. "Perform well. Don't disappoint me."
