Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty

Chapter 53

"So, you're finally ready to do business with me?" Yolanda asked, pleased as she lifted her foot from Blake's chest. Then, she turned around and sat on the couch next to the desk. "Have the project contract drafted and ready for me to review within half an hour." "Yes, of course..." Blake scrambled to his feet and swiftly made a phone call. Half an hour later, the project manager knocked on Blake's office door with the contract in hand. As soon as he walked in, he was struck dumb by the scene before him. Blake, battered and bruised, cowered behind his desk like a cornered bear. Meanwhile, a chubby girl in sportswear sat across from him on the couch, sipping juice with one hand while flipping through a financial magazine with the other. The manager soon snapped out of it. "Mr. Rowse, here's the contract you requested." He anxiously approached Blake and placed the contract on the desk respectfully.

"Alright, you can go now," Blake said brusquely, waving his hand dismissively. He felt humiliated to be seen in such a sorry state by his subordinate.

Before leaving, the manager couldn't help but take one last look at Yolanda, wondering who she was.

Yolanda, ignoring his scrutiny, waited until he was gone before closing her magazine and placing the juice on Blake's desk.

"Here's the contract, Ms. Henderson," Blake said with a smile, handing her the document respectfully.

Yolanda accepted the contract and shot him a cold look. "Don't bother attempting to send someone after me. If what you've done becomes public, you'll be the one losing your job at Doxcon Group."
