It was the persona where there was pride and self-esteem, but there was an eagerness in her eyes that wanted to take advantage of an influential man.

The image of the weak young man was vividly portrayed to the fullest.

Irvin frowned. He truly looked down on bootlickers that pretended to be noble. He had seen one too many people like that.

He then looked at Alice’s face. At a glance, there was no trace of femininity on her face.

Ethan’s cold and sullen gaze made one shiver. “Mr. Parker, what floor were you on?”

Alice answered without the slightest hesitation or reluctance, “The second floor.”

Without batting an eyelid, Ethan pressed, “What kind of business was done?”

To her credit, Alice continued to answer quickly and naturally, “I consulted about the house transfer.”

“Which counter?” Ethan’s questions were quicker and sharper each time as he tried to corner Alice.

If it wasn’t for the wrong occasion, Alice would praise him for being a master of interrogation.

However, it wasn’t a pretty sight when she was interrogated, but she had no choice but to answer, “Number five.”
