Chapter 176

He's even asking me to keep it a secret. The more I think about it, the more certain I am of it.

“Did you dismiss her just to play along and allow her to vent her frustration?”

“What else can it be?” Cocking his brow, Artemis asked with an indiscernible smile, “Since she's the woman I'm enamored with, shouldn't I indulge her?”

Stumped, Dwayne scratched his nose before breaking into a sheepish smile. “Of course you should. I'm just worried that the fuss being kicked up by Ms. Bailey might drastically affect Luther Group. Although the fall in stock price isn't a big deal, my concern is—”

Amidst a wave of his hand, Artemis replied in a nonchalant tone, “Just let her be. In spite of my limited abilities, I'm still able to shelter her from the threats looming about her head.”

Dwayne's eyes were filled with mixed emotions.

Has he been driven mad by his affection for Bailey? Just to elicit a smile from her, he is willing to accommodate her actions at the expense of Luther Group's reputation. This is a really big sacrifice to make. Is he not worried that the situation goes out of control and deals a devastating blow to the company?

“Did you decide to go along with the shareholders' wishes just so they would beg on their knees for her to come back?”

Artemis snorted before replying in a mocking tone, “I'm sure you have seen for yourself how ruthless they were in the conference room just now. If only they had listened to Bailey and agreed to let her deal with the matter, Luther Group would have avoided any trouble. Instead, they kicked her out in their smugness, assuming Emmy Boutique would hold her accountable. Unknown to them, they are faced with someone who's even more merciless than they are.”

No sooner had he spoken than the elevator bell rang.

After the door opened, Artemis stepped out and continued, “That bunch of old fogeys love to throw their weight about. When they realize they have made a mistake by forcing Bailey out, they will definitely beg for her to return. However, there's no way the woman I fancy will forgive them easily. They might be able to get rid of her on a whim, but they will fail to recruit her unless they grovel at her feet.”

Dwayne was speechless.
