Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 540:

After Silver Fox finished speaking, Burnet was left momentarily speechless. Just earlier, Marissa had said Elin was sharp-tongued and had a nasty temper, but at the time, he hadn’t taken it to heart.

Later, when he finally met Elin, he skillfully dodged a potential clash by swiftly changing the topic. He believed he had sidestepped her fury by paying the 80 million promptly, thus concluding the transaction without incident.

However, unexpectedly, even after the transaction was complete, he found himself on the receiving end of her harsh words. Receiving such a scolding, he held back any retort. He knew that any attempt to argue would simply provoke her further, and he would likely end up faring even worse.

She smiled and passed him the half-full bottle of perfume. “Mr. Hoffman, our deal has been very agreeable. Should you find yourself in a bind again, do not hesitate to seek me out for business,” she said.
