Chapter 356:

This was exactly what Khloe had planned—using light-hearted banter to soften the edge of her previously cold demeanor. One of her key objectives in joining the biopharmaceutical competition was to attract top talent. If everyone saw her as unapproachable, that would be impossible. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have bothered with Barlow’s antics.

Khloe’s lighthearted words left Barlow visibly frustrated, his face flickering between pale and red with anger. Yet, surrounded by so many people, he couldn’t lash out at her physically. Instead, he directed his fury at the nearby staff, shouting, “Why are you standing around? Get the draw done quickly. If this competition gets delayed, can you take the blame for it?”

Though visibly irritated, the staff refrained from speaking up and quietly brought over the tools for the drawing of lots.
