Chapter 155: I just want your forgiveness.
Denis stepped into Starlite Corp with the calm arrogance of a man used to commanding attention. His sharp eyes took in the clean, modest interior of the office, far simpler than the opulence of the Beaumont Group.
A smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth. ’So this is what Augustine is proud of? Just a small-time operation?’ he thought with quiet disdain.
A young woman seated at the front desk noticed him and offered a polite smile. "Good afternoon, sir. May I help you?"
"I’m Denis Beaumont," he said with quiet authority.
The receptionist stiffened as she heard the name. Murmurs rose from a few nearby staff members. The CEO of the powerful Beaumont Group had walked in himself—a surprise none of them had anticipated.
"I-I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you earlier," she stammered, flustered. "Please, have a seat while I inform—"
"That won’t be necessary," Denis interrupted smoothly. "I’m here to see Augustine."
The way he said the name, as though speaking of a junior employee, made it clear he was close to Augustine.
The receptionist faltered. "Sir is currently out... he is attending a meeting."
Denis already knew. He waved a dismissive hand. "That’s fine. I’ll wait in his office."
The woman hesitated, unsure if she was allowed to grant access to the CEO’s private space. But Denis’s presence was overwhelming, and she didn’t want to risk offending someone of his stature.
