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 fullyprehend the meaning


    behind her mild response.


    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 exined 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, ording to thepany’s policy I can’t do that…”


    In the meantime, some distance away, appeared a veryrge man with a wide, pulpy face and a stern


    expression. Hisrge 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 werepletely 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 bnce ofnguid and


    dominance. Most noteworthy was her stunning eyes that radiated a gentle but upromising


    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 nced over the


    documents in Annabelle’s arm.


    “Yes that’s right.” Annabelle stoodposedly 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’lle 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 regainedposure 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!
