Chapter 23
“Get lost.”
Artemis grabbed the documents on the table and smashed them on her head. “If you don't want to die,
stop challenging my patience, or I will kill you.”
Rhonda was frightened by the cold hostility in his eyes, and she took a few steps back in fear.
At that moment, she fully believed what the man said. If she continued to pester him, he would
definitely murder her.
Artemis had never been a considerate and tender man. Instead, he had a complicated background and
would sometimes get his hands dirty. He was known for his cruel way of doing things. Those who
offended him would bear the terrible consequences.
“If you still won't leave, I will send Maxton abroad. As for you, you should pack up and return to the
Jefferson residence.”
Rhonda widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief.
Why? Why? He is obviously on the verge of losing control, but why won't he touch me?
Even at this point, Artemis still had no interest in her.
The cruel realization was a devastating blow to Rhonda.
She staggered toward the door under Artemis' ferocious glower.
The place had become too depressing and suffocating for her that she could no longer stick around.
Her heart was filled with hatred and fury as she stumbled away.
The surging jealousy and indignance within her almost exploded as every cell in her body screeched
resentfully.
Bailey was even sent to the hospital because of what Artemis did to her seven years ago. I heard the
doctors say that she couldn't move anymore. Why can't that be me? We're both women, and he
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttouched Bailey when he was drugged, so why can't he do the same to me? Why? Does he hate me
that much? I'm better than that b*tch Bailey in terms of looks, education, family background, everything!
I also love him more than she does! So, why?
At the end of the corridor, the doors of the elevator slid open.
Just as Bailey was about to step out of the elevator, a slender figure bumped into her, causing her to
take a few steps back.
When she saw the person's face clearly, she subconsciously furrowed her brows.
It's Rhonda. Why is she at Luther Group? Oh, that's right. She's now the wife of the CEO of Luther
Group, so it is normal for her to appear in the company. But there's something wrong with her. She
looks like she's on the verge of breaking down.
Rhonda didn't even recognize her mortal enemy when she ran into the latter. She was too preoccupied
as she continuously slammed the button in the elevator.
Bailey hung her head and strode out of the elevator, not wanting to get entangled with her. Almost as
soon as she stepped out of the elevator, the doors behind her slammed shut.
Bailey was confused.
What happened to her?
The entire top floor was silent. When she passed by the secretary's room, there was no one in it.
Bailey looked down at the watch on her wrist that showed the time half past twelve.
No wonder it's so quiet. I'm just in time for the lunch break.
The door of the CEO's office was left ajar when she arrived. After a few moments of hesitation, she
gritted her teeth and pushed open the revolving door.
The wide space in front of her immediately caused a strong visual impact.
The large office that was hundreds of square meters wide was exquisitely and luxuriously decorated.
One could tell it was designed by a famous interior designer, as every inch and corner of the room
perfectly corresponded.
Bailey's gaze fell on the surrounding shelves, and she couldn't help praising inwardly. Tsk tsk, any
random piece of antique here is worth millions. As expected from the office of a super-rich man like
Artemis.
After looking around the room, she didn't see the person she was looking for. In the end, her gaze fell
on a sliding door in the southeast direction that was left slightly ajar.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
She knocked on the revolving door beside her to get the man's attention.
A crisp echo resounded in the room, but there was no response from within the sliding door.
After a long silence, Bailey narrowed her eyes and walked toward the sliding door.
Standing before the door, she knocked on it three more times, but there was still no response.
However, she could hear indistinct breathing coming from within the room. It sounded quite weird and
immediately aroused her curiosity.
She then glanced behind her, and after making sure no one was around, she gritted her teeth and
entered the room.
A slender figure was slumping on the leather couch, wearing an exhausted expression with his brows
slightly furrowed.
He's...
Bailey's eyes flashed with surprise.
D*mn! What in the world? Artemis the godlike super-rich tycoon is alone in his office, jerking off?
The man shot her a penetrating frosty gaze that brought with it a sign of danger.
Bailey subconsciously touched her nose, turned around calmly, and put on a smile that didn't reach her
eyes. ”You seem to be busy, Mr. Luther. I'd wait outside.”
When she said that, she couldn't help gulping and her mouth felt dry.
As soon as she was about to flee, the dreadful sound of a lock clicking came from the revolving door of
the lounge, which made her jump out of her skin.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer heart skipped a beat when she heard that, and a distressing thought flashed in her mind.
To her dismay, she tried the door handle and realized the door wouldn't budge.
Oh no, I can't open it! Don't tell me that this man wants...
After calming herself down, she turned around with a smile but was caught off guard when she bumped
into the man's muscular chest. As she realized what she hit, she felt lightheaded.
She panicked and looked down.
Thank goodness. He's fully dressed!
She hurriedly took two steps back after regaining her composure and looked at him with a wary
expression as she spoke laboriously. “Um, I seem to have crossed the line. I'm really sorry. I mistakenly
trespassed in your private area during my first time at Luther Group's headquarters, and the CEO's
office at that. Please forgive me.”
Artemis squinted his eyes at her. From such a close distance, he could see every detail of her facial
contours clearly. He was finally sure that he wasn't seeing things.
When she broke in a few moments ago, he was indeed shocked. He even thought he was
daydreaming, as he couldn't believe it was her.
However, at that moment, he was sure his eyes didn't deceive him.
“Why are you here? The CEO's office isn't a place where anyone can enter.”
As his words fell, he seemed to have remembered something. He narrowed his eyes and sized her up
before asking with a frown, “Stephen called me ten minutes ago and told me someone wants to see
me. Are you the lead designer from the Archulean Division?”
Bailey pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed. “I thought I could just negotiate with Mr. Chandler,
but things are a lot more complicated than I thought. Mr. Luther, I'm afraid I can't design your sister's
gown. You should get another designer to do it.”
“Let's not talk about this for now.” Artemis stretched out his long arms, trapping her between the wall
and his body.
