Chapter 23
Violet was licking her dry mouth for moisture. Seeing this, Louis took a bottle of water, unscrewed it,
and handed it over to her.
"Thanks."
Violet smiled gratefully, took the water and drank.
The woman tilted up her neck. In the light, her skin looked more fair and flawless.
Louis lowered his eyes and said in a cold voice: "Is this how you talk business? By seduction?"
This wasn't the first time that this happened to her!
Was she used to it?
Violet pursed her lips, "Mr. Johnson, in order to survive, there are always people to deal with. And
there's no way I'm going to give up eating for fear of choking. What's more, not everyone is as
shameless as Cooper."
"How can you be assured and bold? If you hadn't met Austin today, have you thought about the
consequences?"
Louis' voice was aloof, "And yes, it's not the first time you've encountered this. Or like last time, just find
a man to sleep with again."
That was a bit insulting.
Violet's fingers curled, "Mr. Johnson, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, but that's all about it.
You're nobody to me and have no right to control me."
He was nobody?!
This woman ...
He tried to calm himself down.
He was about to say something when her cell phone rang from her bag on the side.
Both of their eyes moved over at the same time.
Violet became nervous. Without waiting for her to speak, Louis did not hesitate and took out her phone
from her bag.
The word "Evie" was showed on the screen.
It was Violet's cousin.
A trace of sarcasm flashed across his eyes.
He pressed the connect button directly and turned on the speaker.
Violet gasped and heard Evie's clear voice from the phone. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Violet, where are you? Why haven't you come back yet?"
"Ah! It's Evie, right? It's Helena. Violet left her phone here."
Louis was definitely a demon from the hell to kill her!
She was on the verge of heart attack!
"Oh, Helena, I'm fine. Just asking, then I'll hang up if there's nothing else."
Evie on the other end of the phone was quick to respond.
Violet sighed with relief and hung up the phone.
The man leaned over slightly and smirked.
"Helena, why is my wife's cell phone here with you? You two are too close to each other! Is it possible
that you two are lesbians? But it seems not. After all, you were very
active that night when you hugged me, weren't you?"
The man's cold breath approached with danger.
Violet leaned back. Her eyes were dodging.
"Here's the thing. Violet is so focused when she's busy. She's afraid she'll get delayed if someone calls
her and she doesn't hear them.so sometimes she just leaves her phone with me."
It was really too tiring to pretend to be two people.
The most scaring thing was that she was facing a horrible and scheming man!
He looked unfathomable, which made her feel like an idiot in front of him.
Her secret was about to get out?!
...
The Johnson Group.
"What do you mean? My cousin didn't succeed but went to the hospital instead? That bitch Helena was
saved by Austin?"
In the General Manager's Office, Jasmine listened to her subordinate's report and was furious.
How came she didn't get it again!
That bitch. Was she having an affair with Austin too?!
Jasmine was so furious that she started throwing things on her desk again.
"Ms. Jasmine, I need to go to the hospital. My face is itchy."
Laila pushed the door in and her fingers kept scratching her face.
Her eyes fell on Jasmine's face, and she was astounded.
"Ms. Jasmine, your face ..."
