Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 330: The Encounter

The sound of footsteps drew nearer, and Magnus felt his heart tightening, as if it was about to leap out of his throat. He had discussed partnerships with women before, but he had never felt like this.

What was happening to him?

The door opened slowly, revealing a pair of delicate, pointed high heels, followed by the sight of long, beautiful legs. A slender waist that could be encircled with a single hand, and a perfectly proportioned bust.

Wasn't this business partner supposed to be forty years old? How could someone her age keep such a fine figure? From her figure alone, one might think she was a young girl in her teens, until his gaze finally landed on her face.

He had been stirring his coffee with a small spoon, but it slipped from his grasp. He stood up abruptly, so fiercely that he knocked over the coffee on the table. Some of the coffee stained his suit, and his secretary had never seen the company's CEO so flustered before.

"Victoria! Is it you, you're back..."

Magnus didn't care about the coffee stains on his suit and moved directly towards the woman in black.

However, before he could reach her, he was stopped, "Mr. Montgomery, what are you doing?"

"Victoria, you're alive, you didn't die?"

Magnus exclaimed with both shock and joy, his eyes flashing with myriad emotions.

The woman looked at him calmly, "You are the CEO of Montgomery Group? I am Tina, nice to meet you."

Hearing her cold voice, confusion appeared on Magnus's face, "Tina? You're not Victoria? Impossible, no one else looks exactly like her, even down to this teardrop mole."

"Mr. Montgomery, it is our principal's first visit to Clothville; it seems you have mistaken me for someone else. We are here to discuss a maritime project today. If you are not interested, we will have to look for another partner."

Magnus calmed down slightly and observed the woman in front of him. Her dress and demeanor were completely different from the person he knew before, exuding a cold and distant aura.
