The Woman From Hell

Don's expression shifted slightly. It was obvious that he had been slightly convinced.

I struck while the iron was hot and continued, "You'll also be able to learn more about businesses and so on and so forth at Grant Corporation. If you want to take this path in the future, you could consider this as your foundation. What do you think?" He raised his head to look at me, hesitation still in his eyes. After a while, Don replied slowly, "Yes, you're right. I'm just really worried that I'll mess up your plan."

I smiled faintly, not caring. "I just want you to understand what's going on at Grant Corporation. I'm not asking you to get up to something. Even if you're discovered, nothing will happen. We have a bottom line."

Likely persuaded by my words, Don looked convinced and downed his drink before slowly replying, "Alright. Since you believe in me, I'll... give it a shot."

"That's great." I smiled. This was what I wanted.

"But if you do this, you'll start a dispute with Grant Corporation. You..." he hesitated, not knowing whether to ask or not.

Knowing what he wanted to say, I laughed it off. "We're divorced. It's all business now. Also, do you think I feel good after what they did to me?"

Don looked at me cautiously. "Then, is this... revenge?"

I shook my head, smiling as I replied, "That's not what I'm thinking. It's just for profit."

Don lowered his head, and I could not see his expression clearly. "Is that so..."

"What's wrong?"

Don raised his head, a faint smile on his lips. "But are you sure I can succeed in
