Chapter 454 Lauren bit her lip yfully , her voice turning husky as she said , Really ? Then why dont you prove it to me ? Its simple help me take off these stockings .


    Remember , you won , so theyre yours now .


    Andrew was left speechless , his eyes widening in surprise .


    Meanwhile , in another office on the same floor of Rhodes Corporation , Michael violently pped Cindys bottom as she rose from hisp .


    Cindys face showed a mix of pain and resentment as sheined , Mr.


    Rhodes , whats making you so angry ? Youve been different ever since Ms.


    Rhodes returned .


    Michael snarled , Shut up ! Havent you seen how many people are sucking up to that little bitch since she came back ? Im the CEO and spokesperson of Rhodes Corporation , not Lauren , yet these idiots still flock to her !! Cindy tried to calm him down , saying , Sir , try to look at the bright side .


    Ms.


    Rhodes did manage to recover that 60 million for thepany .


    To be honest , that was quite an achievement nobody else could have done it .


    Michael let out a coldugh and sneered .


    Oh ? So youre on Laurens side now ? You think shes so impressive ? Cindy whispered , Im not supporting her .


    Its just that , as a woman , I admire her capabilities .


    And Mr.


    Lloyd beside her is quite remarkable too .


    I heard he personally forced Madde Martial Academy to return the money .


    Michaels gaze grew colder as he grabbed Cindys dress , yanking it up with a sneer .


    His hand roughly slid underneath as he spat venomously , So what now ? Dont think I didnt notice how you were eyeing that Andrew during the meeting earlier .


    He added , Youre not falling for him , are you ? Hoping hell take you to bed? If thats the case , I might as well let you be his woman .


    Heughed and mocked cruelly , Bute on , do you really think someone like Andrew would give you the time of day ? Compared to Lauren , youre nothing ! His cruel words and rough treatment brought tears to Cindys eyes.


    Yet , she did not dare resist .


    Being Michaels personal secretary meant enduring both physical and emotional abuse , acting as his punching bag when he needed to vent The only constion was the generouspensation .


    Whenever Michael had his fill and entered his calm period , he would leave her with a stack of cash .


    To Cindy , it was worth it .


    After all ,pared to her friends some toiling endlessly as nurses in overcrowded hospitals ,  Chapter 45-4 others slogging away at dead end office jobs for measly pay , or even those selling drinks and themselves at nightclubs her situation felt like blessing .


    Madde Martial Academy isnt someone to mess with , Michael muttered after pushing Cindy away .


    For that good for nothing Andrew to get 60 million from a psycho like Rodney , he must have some real skill .


    Andrews support of Lauren had created an invisible threat to Michaels position .


    He recalled Andrews earlier warning about putting him in his ce something Michael had dismissed at the time , but now he could not help but feel concerned .


    Michael pulled out his phone with a dark expression and called Jerry .


    He needed to know why Jerry had not used the Madde Martial Academy situation to eliminate , or at least seriously injure Andrew when he had the charte .
