Han Duo stood there, her somewhat chilled fingers tightened, and subconsciously, she pulled at the clothes she was wearing.
Her attire was indeed not good enough; the clothes she wore cost just over a hundred bucks, which were of course out of place here.
Luckily, after she arrived here, the two men in black who had just pushed her in didn’t treat her as badly as they had outside, so she stood at the door, only to see one of them knock on the door and, after hearing a crisp and indifferent "Come in" from inside, that always-closed door, at last, opened.
"Third Young Master, the person you wanted has been brought here!"
As soon as the door opened, the two men who had brought her in immediately said respectfully to the person inside.
Han Duo entered, and that’s when she began to take in the office and the person in the office...
This was an office decorated predominantly in a European minimalist style, with spotless marble floors, grey-white furniture, and an ash-colored vitreous office desk. Everything looked so simple yet not inexpensive, and behind this desk was a full wall of glass windows. Outside, there was a panoramic view of the city.
Indeed, the office of the CEO of the Empire conglomerate was something an ordinary person like her dare not even aspire to.
She withdrew her gaze and looked at the man behind the desk buried in a pile of documents!
It was a silhouette one dared not look directly at, with facial features so flawless they were beyond criticism, a cold but elegantly noble temperament. A single glance would stop your heartbeat, and your eyes would seem to grow roots, unable to move away.
Yes, this man had been just as striking back in school, and not a single girl didn’t fancy him.
Han Duo forced herself to calm down, her gaze only briefly sweeping over him before she looked elsewhere, "Mr. Ou, did you want to see me?"
Since coming here, she felt that the distance between them had grown even farther, and to call his name now would invoke a sense of great irreverence.
Ou Mucen was still typing "tap tap tap" on his laptop, with a face so cold it could form ice, his unemotional gaze as if she didn’t exist at all in the office, eerily silent to the point of causing panic.
This was a terrifying man!
Han Duo felt cold sweat seeping rapidly from her palms; she didn’t dare to speak out and just stood there rigidly, waiting.
After about ten minutes or so, just when her thin high heels felt like they could no longer support her, at last, the man across from her spoke in a ghostly cold voice, "How much benefit did she give you?"
Direct and to the point, his tone sent shivers of fear!
Han Duo’s tightly grasped fingers suddenly turned even whiter!
When she had come here, she had actually guessed why he wanted to see her and had also prepared her response. But when he actually asked her this question, she suddenly realized that his overwhelming presence left her completely incapable of lying; all the excuses she had thought of couldn’t come out.
Yes, this was a very smart man. If you tried to be clever in front of him, there would only be one result—death!
Han Duo struggled to swallow, and after what felt like ages, ultimately under that immense pressure, she chose to answer, "Three hundred thousand!"
Three hundred thousand?
