Chapter 14

Constantly using this suggestion, she forcefully suppressed her wildly pounding heart, and in her gaze, looked at that person “utterly fearless.” Having taken psychology as an elective, she knew that showing weakness often arouses the other party’s primal animal instincts, further encouraging the enemy’s aggression.

When Feifei Owen saw his face clearly, she was momentarily stunned. This man who had suddenly appeared was actually the detestable guy who pulled strings to get in during her interview this morning. Why was he here? Was it because he was dissatisfied with being assigned as a security guard and had secretly followed her? What was he trying to achieve? Did he want to force her to change her decision, or was he simply angry and seeking revenge?

If it was the former, it might be easier to handle. But if it was the latter, Feifei Owen felt a chill of fear in her heart.

“Mr. Wang, if you want to visit my home as a guest, shouldn’t you make an appointment first? That would be more polite, wouldn’t it?” After steadying herself, Feifei Owen returned to her calm and indifferent expression, speaking in a composed and unyielding tone.

She didn’t directly use a sharp tone to rebuke him for his illegal and dangerous act of breaking into her home. Because doing so might provoke him and trigger his violent side. No matter how she looked at it, she was at a disadvantage in this situation. Being at a disadvantage meant she needed to be aware of it, and when dealing with such a dangerous person, it was best to focus on calming and stabilizing the situation first.

However, as she faced his unabashed gaze, which roamed up and down her body, Feifei Owen felt a surge of shame, and at the same time, the anger in her heart blazed fiercely.

……

Henry Walker had already anticipated that she would definitely react when she discovered him. But in his private speculation, it was more likely that she would scream in shock, maybe even cry and shout, or desperately throw things at him.

But Henry Walker didn’t care in the slightest. This was his own home, and all the neighbors nearby were already familiar with him. The property deed had his name on it, and he had never rented the place to anyone. Even if the police were called, he would be the one in the right.

On the contrary, he was actually looking forward to seeing this woman, who was used to being proud and aggressive, in a state of panic and embarrassment, as a small revenge for the trouble she gave him that morning.

Unfortunately, he didn’t get to see the scene he had been hoping for.

This woman, after her initial panic, quickly changed her expression. In just a few seconds, she figured out the situation and calmed down. She even spoke to him quite politely, only mentioning his lack of manners. Although, if one listened carefully, there was a faint tremor of fear in her words.

Such a quick reaction and clever handling made Henry Walker look at her with new respect. He thought to himself that this young female CEO that Old Mu had brought in was truly impressive. Especially her adaptability—she really had the bearing of a leader.

What a pity, he had just been thinking about hearing her scold him, with stupid reactions like “Why are you here? How did you get in? Help, a pervert!” and so on.

“President Ouyang, you’re just asking what you already know.” Seeing her so calm and rational, Henry Walker felt a bit awkward inside. But he was also in the mood to tease her, so he deliberately put on a mysterious air and looked her up and down with a critical gaze.

Being so brazenly scrutinized by him, Feifei Owen was instantly filled with a mix of shame and anger, wishing she could rush over and give his lecherous face a good beating, making him search the floor for his teeth.

But this was something she could only fantasize about. From his resume, it seemed he had served in the military—he was, after all, a strong and sturdy man. In a situation where she was at a disadvantage, she had no choice but to forcibly suppress her anger, her voice lowering slightly: “Mr. Wang, your job assignment was the result of my careful consideration. This morning, you also accepted the arrangement and completed the onboarding procedures without any objections. Of course, if you have any dissatisfaction, feel free to bring it up and I will consider it as appropriate. However, I hope business is business. You can come to my office tomorrow to discuss it. Now, Mr. Wang, are you satisfied with my answer? If there’s nothing else, please leave. I’m a bit tired today.”

Appeasement, reasoning, and stalling for time. Henry Walker could bet that if he accepted her suggestion and left, the first thing she would do would be to pick up her phone on the coffee table and call the police.

Unfortunately, not to mention that Henry Walker had no desire or purpose regarding any position, even if he did, he was definitely not someone so easily fooled. Still, her composure and adaptability made Henry Walker look at her with even more respect. With such qualities, she would shine like gold in any industry sooner or later.

It seemed he would have to be a bit more ruthless. Henry Walker suddenly put away his playful expression and became somewhat sinister and fierce, his sharp gaze fixed on her face as he said coldly, “I didn’t expect you to be so naive, President Ouyang. Since I’m here, you must give me an explanation. Otherwise…”
