It was after a while that Cirroc said calmly, "Let's head straight to the Stone Group."Kendrick was delighted, but he did not let it show. He simply replied, "Alright."The car was turned around and headed for the Stone Group. After about half an hour, the Lincoln that was extended was stopped outside the building of the Stone Group.Once Cirroc got out of the car, he straightened his expensive suit. The bandage on his head was already taken off, but he still had a gauze on his nose. However, the big sunglasses that he was wearing were blocking the majority of his face.Waylon stood next to Cirroc while Kendrick and the other two men followed behind them."Let's go." Cirroc sneered as he stared at the entrance of the Stone Group and walked into the building.When they were approaching the big glass door, Kendrick quickly walked to the front, gestured for Corric to enter, and showed him the way with a respectful expression.When the Lincoln was parked at the entrance, the securi
Once Liam's gaze landed on Waylon, his eyebrows furrowed together.That was because Liam sensed a hint of pressure coming from him. Waylon was deliberately holding back the air he exuded, but Liam still immediately sensed it.A sharp gaze gleamed in Liam's eyes. He frowned as he looked at Waylon, smiling knowingly.He did not expect that the Yacano family would have a top fighter with a three-star military king caliber among them.The crowd walked past the pantry very quickly. Cirroc, Kendrick, and the others did not see Liam at all. They just followed Yafe to the reception room in the company.Cirroc sat on the main couch in the middle of the room while Kendrick and Yafe sat on either side of him. The executives of the company were seated as well. Some of them who did not hold high-ranking positions simply stood respectfully on either side of the room.Celena was summoned to the reception room as well. She was sitting across from Cirroc. She was wearing a fitting black skirt sui
After what happened on the yacht, Celena did not like Kendrick and Cirroc much anymore.Once Yafe and the others left, the room became quiet.Both Cirroc and Kendrick did not take their eyes off Celena, and their eyes were filled with strong possessiveness.Celena took a sip of the coffee in front of her and said indifferently, "Mr. Yacano, I wonder what kind of collaboration you would like to talk about."The way Cirroc stared was too blatant. He did not hide his lecherous urge and his strong desire to possess her.His gaze made Celena uncomfortable, and she furrowed her eyebrows together a little.If Cirroc was not the heir of the Yacano family and his father was not the president of the Kingsgate Group, Celena would not want to stay to talk to him at all.Celena's fondness for her childhood friend was greatly reduced after the gathering on the yacht. She was a little more wary of Kendrick.Cirroc laughed and tore his gaze away from Celena. With a knowing smile, he said, "Wha
"Besides, we're not just negotiating with your company alone. We're going to talk to the Thrivo Group, the Eternal Group, and the Everlast Group as well."What the Kingsgate Group has the most is money and resources, so I hope you'll be a smart person who would assess the situation," said Cirroc.Celena was frowning the whole time. She stayed silent for a few seconds after she heard what Cirroc had to say. Then, she replied with a smile, "Mr. Yacano, we hope we can work with the Kingsgate Group as well. But—""But what?" Kendrick chimed in before she could finish. He stood up, and with an eagerness like he was doing it for Celena's sake, he said, "Celena, what are you hesitating about? Do you know how many companies are dying to work with Mr. Yacano but couldn't?"This is such a good chance to let the Stone Group make it into the top ten of the renovation businesses in Drunham City. Do you want to miss out on it?"Celena fell silent upon hearing that.She did not have a good impr
"Oh? So, I should be thanking you, Mr. Hyde?" Celena asked with a smile, forcing herself to suppress her anger.Kendrick waved his hand and said, "No need for that. We've been friends since childhood. This is nothing."Celena was so pissed off that she laughed. She was breathing hard because of her anger, and her entire body was shaking.Cirroc was already back on the couch at this point, and he kept staring at Celena's heaving chest. As he moved his gaze downward, he saw Celena's legs that were crossed together.Her skin was so fair that it was glowing under the lights. Seeing that made Cirroc's body burn up and gave him an itch that he was dying to scratch.Cirroc gulped and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Ms. Stone. With our relationship, you can ask for anything you want, and I'll satisfy you."Celena took a deep breath, forcing herself to hold back the urge to walk out the door. She was cold as she said, "I'm sorry. I'm afraid I'll be letting you down, Mr. Yacano. Our compa
All men had a desire to conquer. The harder it was to tame Celena, the more Cirroc wanted to conquer her and pin her under his body.Ever since Cirroc met Celena, he was not interested in those tacky women anymore and kept it in his pants.After he saw the way Celena looked at that moment, his heart was pounding like crazy. Every part of his body was dying to pin Celena down. Every cell in his body was eagerly wanting to conquer her.The way Cirroc looked at Celena made her incredibly uncomfortable. She then exuded a frosty air all over herself. Right as Celena was looking at Cirroc icily, Cirroc was looking back at her as well. With a high and mighty attitude, Cirroc said, "You better think about it carefully and don't reject me so soon, Ms. Stone."I don't mind being blunt with you. I came here with two goals, and I want to give you two choices as well."The first choice is that you let me acquire your company, and I'll make the company be in the top ten in the renovation fiel
Just as Waylon's hand was inches from Celena's arm, the door was flung open with such force that it slammed against the wall with a deafening thud. Liam stormed into the room, then scratched his head, grinning stupidly as he called out to Celena, "You called, darling?"Everyone in the room turned to gaze at the newcomer in utter disbelief. Cirroc and Kendrick, in particular, scowled when they saw who it was. Their eyes were narrowed into slits as they stared daggers at Liam from across the room. Celena was immediately flooded with delight and gratitude, and she cast Liam a pleading look. Liam was already waiting outside the room from the moment he learned that Cirroc and Kendrick were there, so naturally, he overheard the entire conversation from outside the door. Nevertheless, he feigned ignorance and instead turned to Celena. "Darling, what's going on here?"Before Celena could even reply, Cirroc sneered. "Excellent! You delivered yourself right to my doorstep! Saves me a l
Alarm bells sounded in Waylon's head. Who would have thought that he would one day encounter such a formidable match?Although he did not sense any powerful aura from Liam, he was still fairly certain that this was not an opponent to be underestimated. Could he be a martial artist?How could that be? He looked not a day over twenty!Waylon had practiced martial arts for over half of his life before finally attaining the martial arts prowess he had now. He was hesitant to believe that a man half his age could possibly have achieved the same in such a short time. Nevertheless, he chose to remain cautious and continued to eye Liam warily, making no move to attack.Liam, on the other hand, seemed utterly unfazed. He continued smiling as though oblivious to the tension within the room and said, "What is it, darling? What were you talking about before I arrived? It seems a little tense here."Celena was no idiot; she understood what Liam was trying to get at, so as delighted as she
