Chapter 538:

Despite understanding that Silver Fox aimed to extort money from him, Burnet resignedly nodded in acceptance. Suppressing his emotions, he requested, “Miss Elin, please set your price.”

Silver Fox didn’t rush to name her figure. Instead, she sought confirmation first. “Mr. Hoffman, you’ve dropped the issue of compensation for your lost work time, haven’t you?”

This prompted a laugh from Burnet. It was clear what Silver Fox was aiming for; she would adjust her price to compensate for any claim he made for lost time. With a knowing smile, he responded, “Yes, that issue is resolved. Let’s not revisit it.”

“That’s good.” Silver Fox nodded, satisfied. She then smiled once more and inquired, “Mr. Hoffman, I only have this half-used bottle of Wild Bluebell left. You don’t mind, do you?”

“Not at all,” Burnet replied.

“You’re not fussy, then?” Silver Fox teased lightly. After her light-hearted jab, she continued, “Not sure if you’re aware, but Minty Fragrances and Perfumes collaborated with Riss to create this perfume specifically for asthma sufferers around the globe. It’s very reasonably priced at just three hundred dollars per bottle.”

Burnet gave a slight nod, showing he was well-informed. Silver Fox went on, “A full bottle goes for three hundred. Now, with only half left…” She paused, her brow furrowed in contemplation, seemingly uncertain about the price.
