Damon had always been at odds with his younger brother, so he did not even want to waste time listening to his nonsense. ‘I’ve still got a lot more important things to do than listen to Xavier and discuss something useless to me. Plus, Xavier’s always got all sorts of complicated thoughts in his head, which I have no energy to guess right now.’However, Xavier had no intention of leaving yet. In fact, he even thought of Damon’s office like his own home as he leisurely sat on the sofa and seem
“Mr. Xavier, I don’t think it’s too much for me to sit here and be in a daze for a moment since it’s not my afternoon break, right?”Xavier pursed his lips. “Why, of course, I didn’t even say anything about it. You can be in a daze as much as you like. However, I’m really curious. That bracelet of yours seems really familiar. Who gave you that? You look like you really love it.”Xavier’s lips were curled, and his voice sounded investigative, which caused the secretary to be on the alert. Howev
”I’d be very willing to answer your questions if they’re work-related, Mr. Xavier. However, forgive me for not being able to if it’s outside of work. My hands are very tied up with work right now,” the secretary said coldly. Also, her concealed hand was clenched into a fist, which reflected how nervous she was feeling. After all, that was the secret buried deep within her heart that she did not want anyone to know. Actually, she knew very clearly that the feelings she had for Damon were not
However, Xavier just shrugged, and she suddenly felt like punching the carefree expression Xavier had on his face. “Of course, dealing with a pretty woman of your character and stubbornness requires a more extreme method. So, I believe you’re going to be there tonight, aren’t you?” Xavier curled his lips and turned around to leave, leaving the secretary standing on the spot with a tightly knitted frown. She then gnashed her teeth and reached out to feel the bracelet on her wrist, feeling sli
Damon said with a polite smile, “Mr. Reagan, we’ve both known each other for a long time already, so wouldn’t my being here be a sincere enough gesture from the Godfrey Group? Does it matter that much who it is that comes here to have a discussion with you? Plus, we’ve worked together so many times already, so of course there is more chemistry between us.”Mr. Reagan had his arms folded, still unhappy with the situation. “Mr. Godfrey, I know you’re the well-known CEO of the company and famous
Mr. Reagan frowned as he pondered for a while. “I do trust you based on my understanding of you. However, my trust in you means nothing. If you aren’t able to gather evidence to prove the company’s innocence, the Godfrey Group is very likely to be facing a huge crisis. When that happens, it’s definitely going to affect my business. I’m a businessman at the end of the day, so I’ve got to protect my company’s interests. Because of this, I can’t gamble on such a huge business just because of my tru
The secretary’s scattered attention upset Damon enough that his eyebrows began to crease palpably as a frown shadowed his mien. “I said,” he hammered with new steeliness, “Get the USB now. What’s distracting you?”There had been enough reminders before the meeting. He had told her to get herself readied, to get her mindset sorted before it began. But she faltered and failed at the cusp of the moment after all.Scarlet guilt flushed toward the secretary’s cheeks as she quickly opened up the doc
The fact that Mr. Reagan had decided to agree to their partnership and pay up the deposit all on his own volition was completely out of Damon’s expectations, but it did prove just how satisfied Mr. Reagan was with their plan.The secretary expelled a breath of relief. Mr. Reagan of the Reign and Royals was famous for being hard to please. And she had been so distracted and skittish the whole time, worrying that her performance, if defective in any way, could dent Mr. Reagan’s mood enough to imp
