Chapter 78


    So, he wants me to beg him by denying me of all my chances! “What a b*stard!” This guy is an


    absolute jerk!


    For the next three days, Selena and her team actively searched from all their sources and


    contacted anypany that they could work with, but strangely enough, all of them changed their


    minds not long after they agreed to coborate. Even when they phoned to find out what happened,


    their calls were immediately declined. Thus, Selena was even more certain about her suspicion that


    Pierre was manipting thesepanies from behind the scenes.


    Meanwhile, Pauline had personally made a trip to Empire Group, but she was turned away there


    and then. Despite her desperate effort to initiate a negotiation, she didn’t manage to meet up with


    anyone from the management, let alone Pierre himself. Her unsessful approach inevitably


    became a discouragement to everyone in her team, as they had nevere across such an


    insurmountable setback. Because of that, the overall workce morale had taken a nosedive


    thereafter.


    In the meantime, it pained Selena’s heart to witness the negative change in the sentiment among


    her subordinates. Since it all happened because of her, Selena eventually decided to visit Empire


    Group herself along with Linda. Upon arrival, they were dazzled by the sight of the magnificent and


    grand tall building that towered over them and stood out in the concrete jungle.


    As bothdies waited in the guest room, Linda’s patience appeared to be wearing thin. “What do


    you think Pierre is up to, President Yard? He went undercover and lurked by your side, but now that


    his cover has been blown, he tries to back us into a corner. Why is he doing that?”


    Selena shook her head in response. I wouldn’t have a headache if I knew what he is up to, would I?

    “Could it be that he has fallen for you?”


    “Nonsense!”


    “Come on! You know what I’m talking about. He proposed to you, didn’t he? If he isn’t into you, why


    would he even do that in the first ce? Now that he has isted us from all otherpanies, I


    suppose he wants us to work with him.” Linda analyzed the situation and gave Selena her opinion in


    a serious manner.


    Although Selena agreed to Linda’s stance, she no longer wanted to have anything to do with Pierre.


    “President Yard, you both seem to be a perfect match to me, and I believe things might just work out


    for the two of you. So, do us a favor. Think about it, perhaps,” Linda said, covering her mouth while


    chuckling. Considering where she is now, I doubt any Tom, Dick, and Harry can be a perfect match


    for President Yard.


    After hearing Linda, Selena red at her in a frustrated manner.


    Not long after that, the guest room’s door was opened just before an employee in a decent suit


    came in. “Miss Yard, President Fowler was in a meeting just now, and I apologize on his behalf for


    making you wait. He would now like to speak to you in his office.” However, when he saw Selena


    and Linda standing up, he quickly added, “Um… President Fowler wants to speak to Miss Yard


    alone. He wishes not to be disturbed by anyone else.”


    “What does he mean by that?!” Linda angrily demanded an answer.


    “Nothing in particr. President Fowler would just like to have a word with Miss Yard in private, and


    that’s all. Pleasee with me, Miss Yard.”


    After hearing what the employee said, Linda couldn’t help but feel worried about Selena since she


    knew Pierre was not easy to deal with. Furthermore, she was afraid that Selena could find herself in


    a disadvantageous position considering her ambiguous rtionship with the man.


    “Don’t worry. There are so many other people here, so it’s not like President Fowler is going to


    gobble me up or something. If anything goes wrong, they’ll never get away with it either since we’re


    in the Empire Group’s building.” Selena raised her voice and stared at the surveince camera as


    she spoke; she had long noticed the camera the moment she came in. Standing at the side, the


    employee couldn’t help but feel slightly awkward with her reaction. Then, Selena followed the


    employee out of the guest room, feeling nervous due to Pierre’s unknown motive.
