Chapter 668: Alexander’s Scheme
Ever since Everett had taken over the company, the number of female employees had dropped—most had been replaced with men.
Even his secretary? Always male. He never hired women.
Aurora gave an awkward little laugh.
"Yeah... I get it. Your charm isn’t exactly easy for most women to resist."
"And you?" Everett asked, expression softening. "You couldn’t resist either, right?"
Aurora dropped her gaze and stayed quiet.
That irritated Everett.
"Look at me. Lift your head."
Being ordered around out of nowhere made Aurora bristle, but she still obediently raised her head to meet his eyes.
His face was as striking as ever, but his gaze had cooled noticeably.
Seeing the innocence in her eyes, Everett’s annoyance faded. He let out a quiet sigh.
