Chapter 25 Bravado
Be it the lions’ den, she would valiantly take up the conquest!
As she entered the Yuan Shi building, she went straight to the receptionist and inquired, “Good
morning, may I know if Mr. He is in?”
“Good morning, can I ask if you have an appointment with him?” The receptionist replied, but her gaze
was teeming with an unnatural hint of pity.
After Covi’s extensive introduction and some self-study, Annabelle can fully comprehend the meaning
behind her mild response. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
But Annabelle was unbothered. She came fully prepared and more importantly, she came to win!
“I am afraid I don’t have an appointment,” Annabelle explained and smiled politely, “However, I am a
designer from Yun Rui Corporation and I would like to have a chat with Mr. He regarding some
business urgencies. Can I trouble you to inform him?”
“My apologies, according to the company’s policy I can’t do that…”
In the meantime, some distance away, appeared a very large man with a wide, pulpy face and a stern
expression. His large head was grey, perhaps even a little oily. His clothing was of rich stuff, but old.
The moment he saw Annabelle, his eyes gleamed greedily.
“What is happening there?” Mr. He asked coldly, and his eyes were completely feasting on Annabelle.
A follower of his volunteered to find out and quickly stepped up to the reception desk.
Annabelle turned towards the group of people and when she noticed the infamous CEO, she minced
forward. She tried to speak pleasantly and delightfully, “Is this Mr. He? I am a designer from Yun Rui.
Can I talk to you about the contract?”
Annabelle appealing charm immediately struck the group of people. Her blue flutter hem dress brought
out her elegant curves, and the way she carried herself was a perfect balance of languid and
dominance. Most noteworthy was her stunning eyes that radiated a gentle but uncompromising
intelligence.
Mr. He was impressed at Annabelle.
Most people (woman) would either try too hard or talk pretentiously, but Annabelle gave him a fine
impression. Or maybe she was unaware?
“Yun Rui corporation?” crow’s feet spread from the side of his eyes, and he glanced over the
documents in Annabelle’s arm.
“Yes that’s right.” Annabelle stood composedly after replying. Even if Mr. He’s gaze were ping-ponging
between the documents and her chest, she showed no hint of awkwardness.
After some time, Mr He averted his gaze and told her coldly, “I need to leave right now. No time for
that!”
“With all due respect sir, may I ask when will you be free? I’ll come over again.” Annabelle persisted.
Mr. He stopped his steps and turned to smile at Annabelle. His smile stretched out further than any
smile ought to, and he stared at her like a starving man looking at a hunk of meat, “I will be free
tonight!”
That was daring and straight forward! And the crowd looked at Annabelle with mixed feelings…
Annabelle was taken aback by his word, but she quickly regained composure and began thinking.
Mr. He’s intention and character was such a pain in the ass, that just meant his capabilities were
equally or even more outstanding, that Yun Rui had been unwilling to give up on him.
It didn’t take long until Annabelle’s lips also curved up confidently, “That’s great! What time tonight, Mr.
He?”
“San, tell her my schedule!” He grinned undisguisedly and lumbered away.
The assistant named San stayed back and gave Annabelle an address and their contact number. And
the crowd just threw their judging peek secretly. Some even disdained her for prostituting
herself! lightnoveldaily.com.
