Chapter 593
The man who stepped in was the deputy manager of the corporation. He’d received word that Belinda, the head of HR, had spoken out against him to Mr. McMillian, blaming him for the recent staff changes in the company.
He had just intended to step in and defend himself, but instead, his attention was caught by the sight of a young woman lounging on the couch. She was engrossed in her phone with one hand, and in the other, she held a bag of potato chips, munching away without a care in the world.
Max froze in disbelief. Who on earth was this girl? How could she be so bold as to eat junk food on Mr. McMillian’s priceless leather couch? Everyone knew that Mr. McMillian not only kept his distance from women but was also a bit of a clean freak.
If even a single crumb of her chips fell onto Mr. McMillian’s expensive carpet, she wouldn’t be getting away with it.
Yet there she was, eating her chips as if she didn’t have a single worry in the world.
"Had your fill of watching?"
The voice came from Romeo, who had just walked in carrying an armload of drinks from the snack cabinet, his squinted eyes reflecting a hint of danger.
Max’s eyes widened in shock, wondering if his eyesight was failing him.
Only a few months ago, Mr. McMillian had put a six-foot-tall cabinet in his office. Max had speculated multiple times about what secrets it might hold, only to find out now that it was filled with snacks and drinks.
Seeing was believing, but Max still found it hard to believe.
"Mr. McMillian, I need to speak with you."
