The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 562 Confrontation Again

Despite Michael holding the title of "President of the Smith Corporation," Hayden kept

a polite smile as he followed Michael into the office, all the while calculating how to strengthen his relationship with Michael.

He hadn't come up with a solid plan yet, but he failed to notice the cold glint in Michael's eyes whenever he looked at him.

Once inside the office, Michael took the lead, silently sitting behind his desk before gesturing for Hayden to take a seat.

Hayden sat down cautiously, the atmosphere between them tense and heavy, like the calm before a storm.

Michael had no intention of offering Hayden a drink. He felt he had made himself clear at the gate of Emerald Lake Manor, but Hayden seemed to have missed the point, still wearing a smile and pretending to be oblivious. If Hayden wanted to play dumb, Michael would play along.

Michael's eyes were deep and piercing as he slowly spoke. "Just say what you need to say."

Hayden coughed, trying to break the silence, but he still didn't know where to start. He let out a few awkward laughs, his eyes wandering around the office of the Smith Corporation's CEO, secretly impressed by the grandeur.
