Seduce Him

SHANGRI-LA HOTEL

After she freshened up and put on some makeup, Eunice exited the bedroom wearing a black knee-length dress that hugged her body, paired with a hot pink stiletto and a diamond jewelry set.

"Paul?" She saw Paul lounging on the sofa, discussing something with Kyline.

"Good evening, milady." Paul got up from the couch and greeted her courteously.

"Why are you here? I've already chosen Kyle as my bodyguard. You don't need to follow me around."

Paul smiled nervously. He replied, "Er, Mr. Meier wanted me to bring over some documents for Miss Kyline since you chose her as your assistant, milady."

"Ah, I see. How thoughtful of him then." Eunice commented, nodding. "Is that all?"

"Not at all. I'm here to escort you, Milady. President Meier booked a VIP room at Claire's Secret Garden."

Claire Secret Garden is a lavish restaurant on the rooftop of this hotel. It was a glamorous venue where the wealthy and famous held parties and special events like weddings.

"Great. Then, please wait for me at the door. I have a few things I would like to discuss with Kyle."

"Aye, milady." Before exiting the main door, Paul bowed like a knight.

Eunice turned to Kyle, now that only the two were in the suite. "I discovered you are knowledgeable about computers."

"Yes, my—I mean, Eunice. It is one of my expertise."

"Perfect then! This is the list of information I need. I want you to hack into the DLC Enterprise archives and gather all the information you can. Look into these people's personal accounts as well. I would like to know how much money they transfer from the company's funds to their own pocket."

"Consider it done, milady," said Kyle confidently as she took the paper.

"Very good. I'm heading out now. You can call room service. President Meier, who will pay anyway." She smiles meaningfully as she stares at Kyline.

She aims to test the water, and Kyline's response confirms everything. She grins from ear to ear, musing, 'This is exciting.'

"Thanks for reminding me," said Kyle, who snapped Eunice from having wild guesses.

"You're welcome." Eunice winked before she strode to the door.

One hour later, in the lobby of Claire Secret Garden...

"How dare President Meier cancel our dinner meeting? We already apologize for being stuck in traffic because of an accident. Jullian, next time, we should use your chopper so we won't be late for our appointments."

Jullian remained motionless on the sofa they were sitting on, and the woman beside him, who was complaining, was none other than Leah.

"Jullian, what do you think about it?" As she received no response, she attempted to hook her arm around his elbow, but he exuded a dangerous air that changed her plans.

Until now, he had easily intimidated her.

Although they were engaged, Jullian was never intimate with her.

Every time she tried, she failed, especially in seducing and luring him to her bed. And it upset her that Julian had great self-control and seemed unaffected even after she was almost naked in front of him.

Jullian is displeased when she fusses and decides ahead of him. He isn't married to her yet, but she has already acted as if she were Mrs. Lopez.

When Christian's secretary reached out to his assistant, he remained calm and canceled his plan to dine at the restaurant without another word. But Leah is nitpicking about it.

He prefers to be Mrs. Lopez, a woman of grace and patience—someone with better judgment, of whom Leah is the polar opposite.

Having this realization, Jullian's face hardened.

Leah was only thinking of her personal interest in this meeting; thus, she was unaware of the storm gathering above his head.

But not Kurt Morales, Jullian's assistant.

'Tsk. Lopez's private helicopter isn't a property anyone can use whenever they want. She's too thick-faced to dare bring that up to my boss. Is she courting death?' Kurt's thoughts. He grew up with Jullian, so it was easy for him to distinguish the meaning of his silence.

It was clear to Kurt that his boss wanted to get rid of Leah. However, that was the last thing he needed to do.

"Sir. I will make a new arrangement with Mr. Meier's secretary. How about lunch? You are free tomorrow." Kurt steps forward to calm the storm brewing in silence and offers suggestions to stop the so-called fiancee from inciting his irritation.

Jullian instantly agreed. In fact, he looked relieved to hear that. Finally, he can call it a night and go home. But he almost forgets that he is with Leah.

"How about letting me do it?" Leah proposed, hooking up her elbow around his arm.

Immediately, Jullian casually pulled his arm and placed it inside his trousers pocket.

"There's no need." Jullian's cold voice rang above Leah's head. She looked up at him with admiration, but then she noticed his gaze glued to somewhere else. She followed his line of sight and recognized the man who exited the restaurant.

"Oh, speaking of the devil. It's Mr. Meier." Leah prepared to call out the man but was stunned upon recognizing the woman standing by his side, waiting for the elevator.

"Is that my cousin, Eunice? Oh my god, what is she doing here? Is she at it again?" Leah covered her mouth as if she were anxious. She sounded like hooking up with rich men was Eunice's habitual character.

When Christian took Eunice by the back and led her into the elevator, Leah's delicate face contorted in annoyance. She could not believe Eunice could be with someone like Christian Meier.

Although the man has just recently taken up residency in the country, he instantly became famous in upper-class society after he founded Meier Holdings and became a capitalist.

Every entrepreneur wants to get close to him to curry favor, and she once attempted to flirt with him for the DLC's benefit.

However, Christian Meier is such an aloof man. He always had people escorting him. Hence, no one could get near him.

"I don't know why Eunice is with him. I don't believe they have a relationship and that she can influence Mr. Meier to cancel our dinner meeting. But if ever, I could not believe Mr. Meier wasn't so smart! I highly admire him. He seemed loyal. I never expected him to choose someone like my cousin, whose reputation isn't good."

No one is asking her, but Leah continues blabbing.

Jullian's face was contorted with a deep frown. She quickly looked at Jullian's countenance and was happy to see his dissatisfied reaction.

"My cousin is so struggling in life that she is desperate to sell her body. I should help Eunice find work so that her life does not go astray," she added.

She smiled at Jullian with a triumphant glint, waiting for him to compliment her on how gracious she was to her family. Although this person was rude to their elders, she was willing to give her a chance.

"I think you have a brilliant idea there."

Jullian agreed without hesitation, which shocked Leah with his following words.

"She can fill the vacancy as my personal secretary."

"What?" Leah was dumbfounded.
