Chapter 17

The only thing Bruce wanted to do right now was to conquer Joanna.

He was simply an aggressive man.

Once someone was targeted by him, it was nearly impossible to get rid of him.

Bruce paused, and both of them fell into silence.

They heard the door of the conference room pushed open, and there came the clatter of high heels.

It was Roxanne.

“Bruce? Bruce, are you there?”

At once, Bruce let go of Joanna.
