Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Victoria shifted her gaze onto Casper’s face and scrutinized it. “Where is that pretty secretary of yours? Why didn’t you bring her along?”

Casper coughed several times. “There might be chaos today. I didn’t bring her along because I’m worried she’ll be in danger.” He was feeling a little fearful. Victoria can’t fancy Elena, right?

Victoria pulled out a delicate hand fan and fanned herself. “Oh, you care about your secretary so much. Why don’t I see you treating me so well?”

Casper was covered in sweat at that point. “Weren’t you the one who stayed here willingly? And I’m staying here by your side to give you full protection.”

Suddenly recalling Victoria’s identity, he wondered if he should pop the question that was on his mind.

“Give me full protection? Casper, you’re so scrawny and weak. How powerful can you be?” Victoria teased, poking her finger into Casper’s chest and feeling his chest muscles.

Of course, she meant that as a joke. It was impossible for a member of a gang who could take down the entire Firewolf Chamber of Commerce to be a useless person.

Casper, whose chest had been touched by her, did not know what to feel. Am I benefiting from this or am I being taken advantage of?

“You know what? You’re so handsome that I bet no one will realize your real gender if you dressed up as a woman,” Victoria added.

“Come on. Don’t make such jokes, Ms. Stalling. Why would a guy like me dress up like a woman?”

Victoria said, “I didn’t expect you to be such an old-fashioned person. It’s already the twenty-first century. There’s nothing weird about men dressing up as women. Guess what? One of the sons of a prestigious family that is coming today is a homosexual.”

Casper shuddered. “Really? How did you know about it? I’m sure his family will try to hide this fact if they found out about it.”
