Though Flora’s father, Henry, was a supposed oil tycoon, he was truly involved in the trade of smuggling drugs and money laundering. His dealings were all over Southeast Asia and his influence was also unrivaled. The Interpol had even formed a task force to investigate his doings for decades but they’ve never even had the chance to nab him.
This Henry was extremely loaded and had many connections too. He had great influence in both the underworld and the police force, he wasn’t someone to be easily provoked.
Lu Yan smoked a puff of his cigarette and hugged Flora, squeezing her butt. “If this goes well, then you’re indeed my lucky star. I’ll make sure to pleasure you in bed, hm?”
“You’re so annoying.” Flora whined and she couldn’t help but feel attracted to a bad boy like him. “Master Yan, is it only because I am my Daddy’s daughter that you’re flirting with me? Do you like me for who I am?”
Lu Yan narrowed his eyes and took in a puff of smoke again. “How do I put this, I want both, the money and the woman.”
Flora could feel herself falling for this man even more, she couldn’t help but be enchanted by his flirtatious ways.
She actually had a whole line of men wooing her but she chose Lu Yan out of all them. He treated her well and bought her anything she wanted. However, he seemed to have kept a safe distance away from her, he didn’t show her his true self. This man was difficult to read, she couldn’t tell his true thoughts.
No one knew this man’s true thoughts. He had entered the underworld since he was a teen and was involved in the bloodiest fights ever. He had played around with his power and of course, many women and he didn’t seem to have involved his emotions in any of them.
Flora didn’t mind that fact that he was interested in her only for her identity. In her eyes, it is only right for men to not want to settle down and be ambitious. If Lu Yan were to be successful in negotiating a collaboration with her Daddy, he would definitely attain an abundance of wealth and power.
“Master Yan, please just accompany me tonight.” Flora continued pestering Lu Yan.
Lu Yan slowly retracted his arm, giving her a spurious smile. “Be good and return to your presidential suite first. You should have a shower and make yourself smell good before you join the queue. When your Daddy arrives, you’ll have a chance to enjoy.”
Flora pouted her red lips, she didn’t have any other ways left. She could only alight from the car and enter the hotel unwillingly.
Lu Yan watched as Flora entered the hotel before he retracted his gaze, not having much of an expression on his face. He knitted his brows and finished smoking the cigarette.
The neon lights in the city reflected on the windows and illuminated his handsome face. He stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray and got in his Maybach, driving away.
The Maybach sped along the streets and 10 minutes later, he parked in front of the entrance of A University.
It was already ten o’clock at night. The campus was locked up and there wasn’t any students entering or even exiting campus anymore.
He stopped the engine and pushed the driver’s seat all the way down, using his arms as pillows and closed his eyes.
Under his knit sweater, his muscles were bulging and he was filled with masculinity. He had an outstanding physique, with a muscular chest, defined eight packs and abs. Any woman would blush after looking at his body, wanting to run their fingers over it.
But it was late at night and he evidently lethargic.
…
The Gu Corporation’s office.
Tang Mo’er had brought her design with her and rushed over to the Gu Corporation. She was there to attend an interview.
Everyone who signed up for the position had to attend an interview and they would only have the chance to become an interning designer if their design made the cut.
She would have to make good use of this opportunity.
Tang Mo’er was seated outside the interview room with others, and that included Li Fei’fei.
The swelling on Li Fei’fei’s face had already subsided, she glared at Tang Mo’er when she noticed that Tang Mo’er was also there for the interview. But Li Fei’fei seemed to do it with restraint, seemingly afraid of something and she didn’t dare to utter a word.
Footsteps could be heard, someone shouted excitedly, “Hurry and look over, President Gu is here!”
Tang Mo’er lifted her eyes and looked, Gu Mohan had really arrived.
He was clad in a navy blue, striped suit. He paired it with an immaculate white shirt inside, finishing off the look with a black tie. He sauntered into the room, emanating an arrogant and charismatic aura.
He was followed by his secretary, Yan Dong and a few higher-ups. They were all on the interview panel.
Tang Mo’er looked at Gu Mohan, her lustrous eyes instantly turned watery. She hadn’t seen him in two days and she really missed him.
He was rocking a preppy look today, the Capital’s wealthiest businessman was especially charming. He had totally pulled it off with ease.
“Wow, Professor Gu is really handsome today, my heart is going pitter-patter already.”
“That’s right, Professor Gu is even going to interview us personally later on. I’m really nervous.”…
Mr Gu was going to conduct the interviews personally today?
Tang Mo’er was also very nervous. She looked at her design, it was her first piece of work ever.
She wondered if he would be satisfied with it.
Gu Mohan had brought his men with him and walked over, their eyes met.
She looked at Gu Mohan and Gu Mohan looked back at her.
Tang Mo’er’s lustrous eyes were instantly watery, she gave him a radiant smile. Mm, Mr Gu.
Gu Mohan’s gaze landed on Tang Mo’er. She wore a white knit sweater and accentuated her tiny waist with a denim belt. Not only that, her chest was almost made prominent and she was simply stunning.
She wore a pair of slim pants below and it enwrapped her long, slender legs. She completed the look with a pair of casual, white sneakers that made her appear even more youthful and attractive.
Gu Mohan had noticed that the male interviewees were all distracted, their gazes fixated on Tang Mo’er.
He sneered. She’s indeed great at seducing men.
He took a brief look at her personable smile and facial features before looking away and entering the room.
Mr Gu had left.
He had passed by her and gave her a cold-eyed stare.
Tang Mo’er couldn’t help but freeze, her smile fading away. She didn’t know for what reason, but she felt him being particularly cold towards her today.
He had sped away in his Rolls-Royce Phantom that night outside the bar. She had even chased after him, he should have seen her but he must have chosen to ignore her.
Similarly, he was ignoring her existence again today.
He seemed to repulsive towards her and was pushing her miles away.
She was rebuked despite being open with her feelings towards him. Tang Mo’er could only lower her head, pouting her lips, not knowing what she had done that was so wrong.
What had happened between them? That day in the clinic, he hadn’t been so cold. What had changed?
…
Half an hour later.
“Is Miss Tang Mo’er here? It’s your turn now.” A clerk appeared in front of the door and started calling her name.
Tang Mo’er quickly stood up, responding, “Hello, I am Tang Mo’er.”
“Miss Tang, this way please.”
Tang Mo’er walked into the interview room clutching her design.
