”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
Damon wiped away the cold beads forming on his forehead and murmured to himself, “I rather eat something the butler made.”Jeanette widened her eyes and looked innocently at Damon, asking because she could not hear him clearly, “What was that?”“Nothing. I was saying. I can't wait to try your cooking.” He waved with a smile plastered around the growing dread in his chest.Jeanette was palpably delighted by his answer and began to tug him more into the house. “Aww, I knew you'd be hungry! Buuu
The sharp, childlike voice of a boy stifled his hand. “Mommy? Daddy? Dinner? Dinner!” Innocent little Felix skipped into the interior of his home from the garden.Damon breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put his spoon—and the little ball of mashed potatoes—down on his plate. He leaped to his feet and quickly dashed toward the boy, hoping to draw Jeanette’s attention. “I haven’t been at home these days, Fe. Have you missed me?” he said, smiling, before pecking on his son’s chubby cheeks.Fel
