The woman sneered, “Damien, do you even know who I am?”

“I am Sebastian’s secretary at the Weiss Group!”

“Soon, your Lenoir Group won’t be yours anymore. What are you pretending for?”

Damien smiled faintly, his demeanor calm and distant. His eyes seemed to dismiss her words as inconsequential.

There was no hint of anger or annoyance, as though her insults were mere trifles.
