Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 222:

“Ha! Ha! Ha!” Paul suddenly erupted into laughter

Elvis and the men in black waiting outside were taken aback. Their boss had never displayed such amusement before! Paul had always been reserved; wealth and power were mere trifles to him, met with only a faint smile. Who would have guessed that today he’d find such amusement in a young girl? Soon, his laughter turned into coughs, leaving him breathless

Marissa swiftly handed him a glass of water. After taking a few sips, Paul eventually composed himself, refraining from laughter, though a smile remained on his lips

“You, young lady, have a way with words. One moment, you could make me cough up blood. The next, you have me laughing so hard I cough. Truly remarkable!”

“It’s not me; it’s your lack of composure,” Marissa teased. “At your age, one would expect you to be indifferent to both praise and criticism. Yet, a harsh word makes you furious, while a flattering one has you laughing foolishly. You still have much to learn in your journey of self-cultivation.”
