This assistant to the special assistant to the president of Howard Group had a powerful aura. She felt a little breathless and uncomfortable.
It was just an assistant to a special assistant, how could he have such a majestic presence?
Those eyes of his were very sharp, and in his eyes, all the ugliness and evil had nowhere to hide. Her heart was a bit flustered.
She didn't dare to look into his eyes again and continued, "Now we can't prove it just wasn't her."
