Chapter 7
"Seems like you are eager to leave at any moment." He stared at her and said coldly.
Ha! Jenna Murphy secretly sneered. She would never have stepped into this room and faced this devil if she didn''t have to, no matter how
ceremoniously they invited her. She hated being near the man whe killed her father. A cold glint shed across her eyes, and she felt a dull pain in her
heart. She gritted her teeth and didn''t say a word.
The excitement surging in Hansen Richards''s heart rapidly cooled down. His gloomy face was covered with frost, and his voice was scarily frigid. "I''ll
give you ten days to design five luxury model cars that will impact the global market. One of them must surpass the Modern Idia. Can you do that?”
He looked at her with his unreadable eyes as his thin lips slowly parted.
Five models in ten days? Was he intentionally challenging her? Good ideas are inspired by everyday life. and it wasn''t something that could be
created overnight.
Looking into his demanding and contemptuous eyes, Jenna knew that she had to knowingly walk into the trap.
"Yes I can." She gritted her teeth and added emphatically, “But you have to agree to my request as well." Another request? How dare a subordinate
make a request to the boss? Hansen was very displeased. He leaned against the back pillows as he tapped on it with his fingers, and his eyes were
ice cold
Jenna did not look at him.
The Whalen Overseas Group was the Richards Group''s biggestpetitor in product globalization. The Whalen Group has be more powerful
than the Richards Group in the global market thanks to the extreme poprity of the Modern Idia, which was designed by Jenna. But the famously
ambitious Richards Group was not going to back off because of that.
The uing press conference was basically an attempt to challenge the Whalen Group. As far as she knew, the Richards Group currently didn''t
have any spectacr model cars that could win over the global market at the moment.
She wasn''t worried at all that Hansen would refuse!
"There are two limited edition Panika luxury cars manufactured overseas by the Richards family that are in A city. I want them." She said calmly
without missing a beat, but her eyes were fixed on his handsome face, determined to catch every single one of his micro expressions.
If what happened to her father really had something to do with him, there''s no way that he could hide it perfectly without flustering at all
Hansen''s eyes were calm, but his pupils contracted ever so slightly. Sparks of light bursted through his inky pupils like lightning among stormy dark
clouds. He leaned forward and closed his fingers in his palms. The cold and silent light in his eyes gradually became less harsh, and took on a tinge
of curiosity. The muscles on his face rxed, and a faint smile shed across it.
Other than his usual detachment, there wasn''t any kind of notable loss ofposure on his face. If anything, he looked incredibly calm!
Jenna was a little disappointed, but also a little hopeful at the same time. To be honest, she didn''t want to believe that Hansen would really be so
vicious and cruel. There was no reason for him to be that heartless, even if he hated her.
He lit a cigar and took a few long drags. His handsome face was partly hidden by the smoke, his eyes were dark, and his expression was unreadably
silent
Jenna''s chest suddenly tightened. She couldn''t see through him!
Jenna heard his deep and sonorous voice calmly cutting through the tense confrontation, I''ll agree to that.”
"Ahem." Jenna let out a sigh of relief and choked on his smoke, so she coughed softly.
"Very well, I hope that our coboration will be pleasant.” She smiled, stood up, and turned around to leave
An arm that was strong as iron suddenly wrapped around her slender waist, immediately stopping her movement.
A spark of anger shed in her eyes, and she red at him. The corners of Hansen''s lips curled into an enigmatic smile, and his hand was still
around her waist. He looked down at her with unfathomable eyes.
Jenna didn''t expect him to treat his
employee sodisrespectfully i in his
work ce. She had heard that he ~
was a vecy stern and serious boss;
but it Ia0ked like she believed those
rumgrS too easily. She was so”
shaeked that she opened her red lips
afd was about to throw a fit at him.
But he pressed his burning hot lips against her rosy lips and aggressively stole her breath in the blink of an eye!
Her nostrils were filled with the scent that she was once madly obsessed with, and she instantly felt woozy. She struggled, but he only tightened his
grasp. He greedily took in all of her soft fragrance and charming beauty.
Jenna''s head was buzzing, and it
was bing more and more
difficult for her to breathe. Her chest
felt like itwas going to explode. <
What maade her angrier was thatshe
was tl obsessed with his smell,
even now. Her subconscious mind
wasn''t resisting him at all=she didn''t
even want to push him away.
"If you''re so capable, why did you ask for such a huge sum of money from me in the first ce? Or are you just a greedy and fickle woman by
nature?" After a long while, he finally left her lips and enjoyed the aftertaste, but his words were full of ridicule.
His flippant words were vicious and it violently cut into Jenna''s fragile heart. Her head instantly cleared up. He was just humiliating and ying with
her. A sh of anger appeared in her icy eyes and she forcefully pushed him away.
"Please behave yourself, Hansen Richards. You will regret it if you humiliate me again." Jenna was extremely upset as she shouted at him and
rushed out of the door.
"I will regret it? Haha." Hansen snorted, and the corners of his lips curved into an attractive smile. Her threat was as scary as a tickle. He watched her
frantically run out of the room, and a hint of mischief glimmered in his eyes
He crossed his arms and thought for a moment. Then he walked to his desk and dialed the phone. "Send Alvin Robertson in."
A few minutester, a tall man with bronze skin and sharp eyes walked in.
"Greetings, Mr. Richards.”This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
"Alvin, I need you to go to the United States right now. Find out about the three years that the designer spent in America and make a detailed report
of it." Hansen looked in the direction where Jenna left and gave a clear set of orders.
"Yes sir, I''m going to book a flight right away." Alvin Robertson nodded and quickly left.
Hansen sat down on the sofa again, but his mind was somewhat dazed. This woman has seemingly changed to an unbelievable degree during her
three-year absence from his life.
Or has she not even changed at all? Did he underestimate her in the past?
Did he really miss out on something? Jenna anxiously rushed back to the office and ran into the bathroom. She put her hands on the smooth marble
sink and looked up at herself in the mirror.
Her cheeks were scarlet red, and the rosy lips that were kissed by him looked beautiful and alluring, his scent even lingered on them!
God d*mn it. She desperately washed her lips over and over again.
How, how could she let him kiss her? There was nothing left between them
She couldn''t let him touch her ever again. This was her principle and her pride. They had nothing to do with each other anymore. The only reason
why she came here today was to find the murderer whe killed her father, that was all!
His mocking and condescending eyes shed before her, and she felt a sharp pang of pain in her heart. How could she be so cheap?
Jenna caressed her cheeks, which were still burning hot. She ran into the bathroom and turned on the fancy and spotless sink faucet so she could
ssh her face with cold water. Then she wiped it dry and put on some light makeup to go out for lunch first.
