Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 684 Fatherless B*stard

“Mr. Damazio, someone is looking for you. They wanted to talk about a collaboration.”

“Did they make an appointment?” Slevin saw the look on his assistant and noticed something was off.

“What’s wrong?”

“They… are from Azure Corporation.”

Slevin’s face changed drastically. “I can’t believe it. They dared to come here. But kudos to them for holding out for four years.”

He stared at Elspeth who had a confused expression and gently urged her, “Why don’t you wait for me downstairs? Give me ten minutes. I’ll pick up Dami with you.”

Slevin gestured for ten minutes with his hands and Elspeth nodded. She knew he was busy with work and didn’t want to disturb him.

“Actually, I can go pick him up myself.”

“That won’t do. Dami said he wanted to see me. I have to be there.”

Left without a choice, Elspeth simply nodded. “Alright. I’ll wait for you downstairs.”

Then, Slevin smiled as he passed the car keys to her. “It’s quite hot today. Wait for me in the car.”

After she left, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

“Let’s go. Let’s see what they want.”

Slevin arrived at the reception room and was surprised to see Harper sitting on the couch. “Mr. Summerfield, what brought you here?”
