The First Request

Leon was about to spew angry words at Xia but was forced to hold back his tongue due to her defensive words.

"Miss Chu, I will call you later when I have information based on our discussion. In the meantime, you can go back to work."

Leon's emotionless and chilly words fell on Xia's already weakened heart like frozen icicles, jabbing at her fragile heart without showing any mercy.

Even though she wanted to say something else, the dreaded look in his eyes made her simply say, "okay."

Without sparing her one more glance, Leon stormed into his office and slammed the door shut.

"Would you like me to get you any other thing?" Lily asked mockingly while pretending to be working on her computer system.

"No!" Xia rose to her feet and shot Lily an ice-piercing stare before storming out of Lily's office.

"Shameless tramp!" Lily hissed and continued with her work.
