“Mm,” he responded briefly, “continue with your work.”
“Understood, President Huo,” she firmly put on her cold, professional woman’s mask.
Feeling he had lingered long enough and should leave, Huo Junren stood up.
Suddenly, the office door unexpectedly opened again—
“Manager Shao, here’s your fragrant coffee! Oh, by the way, Lawyer Li sent a gift for you earlier! Do you want to open it now—” May burst in.
“Uh…” Only after charging into the room did May notice Huo Junren’s presence.
May had been in the pantry making coffee for Shao Pingxi when Huo Junren entered the office, so she was unaware of his arrival.
“President Huo…” May’s hand holding the coffee trembled involuntarily.
The CEO of Huo Corporation was capable, good-looking, from an excellent background—everything was top-tier! Only the “cold front” he emanated was so strong that it unconsciously made these junior employees feel afraid.
The temperature on Huo Junren’s face plummeted below zero after hearing May’s words.
“President Huo, I’m sorry! I… didn’t mean to…” Seeing the CEO’s lips tightly pressed with a frosty expression, May reflexively thought she had angered him and hurriedly apologized.
“Lawyer Li? Is this the newly appointed chief legal counsel—Li Jianyong?” Huo Junren asked, seemingly ignoring May’s apology.
“Yes,” May immediately answered, not daring to be the least bit negligent.
“An unmarried man, brazenly and openly sending a gift to a woman—his intentions are clear to everyone,” Huo Junren revealed a smile like the god of death. “Isn’t that right, Manager Shao?”
The… the CEO was so terrifying! Witnessing his hellish, murderous smile up close, May trembled uncontrollably.
Although his smile, more terrifying than a sharp blade, wasn’t directed at her, May still felt incredibly scared.
“President Huo, whether Lawyer Li is pursuing me or not has nothing to do with you, right!” Did this man who had once heartlessly abandoned her have any right to care?
“Nothing to do with me?” Huo Junren’s expression completely disappeared, leaving only infinite coldness and—a sinister atmosphere. “Manager Shao, you are a manager I hired, and although Li Jianyong is the chief legal counsel, he is ultimately my subordinate. In the Huo Corporation under my management, workplace romances are not permitted!”
