Surprise filled Chloe's gaze as she stared at the handsome man with his arm propped on the desk.

The reason why she had gone after him was that she wanted to request the position of chief secretary.

Despite that, Artemis had already put the suggestion forward himself before she even managed to say anything.

Has he already been seduced by my beauty? He must be after my young, tender body, and this is how he's trying to let me know. Is he implying that I'm going to become his new lover? That must be it. Bailey, that old hag, has already given birth to three kids. I bet she must be loose down there. It's only natural that Mr. Luther's not interested in her anymore.

The thought of it made Chloe feel smug. All men are like that. Successful, powerful men, especially, have plenty of lovers. I'm gorgeous, a virgin, and I have a good temperament. Not only that, but I'm charming, pure, and lovely at the same time. No man could withstand my allure.

“A-Are you really promoting me to the chief secretary, Mr. Luther?” she asked.

Artemis leaned against his chair and cast a sidelong glance at her. With a half-smile, he replied, “Out of everyone in the secretary's office, you're the only one with the best education and family background. Who else would I promote? The chief secretary is also the representative of the company. Of course, I have to choose someone well-qualified.”

Chloe was overwhelmed by the immense joy. Her ego immediately puffed up, and she began to get carried away.

There was a look of infatuation on her face as she gazed at the slender, elegant figure behind the office desk. Losing her self-restraint, she rounded the table and made her way to the man sitting on the swivel chair.

As she walked, she unbuttoned her clothes. The woman was putting her all into seducing him.

Chloe sure made use of the resources she could get her hands on as the mayor's daughter.

Considering that her figure was well-developed, she must have taken good care of herself since she was young.

Paired with her alluring gestures, it was an irresistible combination for any man.

Artemis lightly rapped his fingers on the table. His gaze fell on her movements, and the look in his eyes was unfathomable.

From his point of view, he was not looking at the body of a woman but a pile of flesh.

Aside from Bailey, everyone else looked the same to him. They were just a bunch of walking blobs of meat, and they meant nothing to him.

With him staring at her like that, Chloe's face immediately turned crimson. She coyly called out, “Mr. Luther.”

Her tone was enough to make one's body tingle.

At that moment, Ken's voice could be heard coming from the outside. He reported, “Mr. Chantler from the Cultural Relics Bureau is here, Mr. Luther. He says that he wants to express his gratitude for your generosity personally.”

That made Chloe jolt in shock. She haphazardly buttoned her clothes back up.

However, the people outside did not give her the time to tidy her clothes. A series of footsteps sounded, and a man in his forties or fifties walked in.

When Harry Chantler saw what was going on inside the room, he gave two light coughs and blurted, “It seems that this isn't a convenient time for you, Mr. Luther. I'll go to the reception room first. Go on.”

Artemis smirked devilishly. Harry was the one he had been waiting for, so there was no way he was going to let him slip away.

“We need you to sign the donation beneficiary form, Mr. Chantler. If you don't, you might not be able to receive the funds. I'm swamped, and I have to hold a meeting with the higher-ups later. Thus, I'm not sure if I'll be able to make time to meet with you. If we postpone this, we might have to delay it for a few days,” he piped up.

Harry retracted his extended leg.

He desperately needed the donation. If he were to leave at a time like that, there was no telling when he would be able to see Artemis again.

“O-Okay, then. Let's sign it now. I'll do it now,” he agreed.

Artemis reached out to get the documents from his file. As he skimmed through them, he asked, “You know Ms. West, don't you, Mr. Chantler?”

Harry felt awkward.

He darted a glance across Chloe's body, then quickly looked away. “Y-Yes, I do. Who doesn't know the daughter of the mayor? You could say I'm well-acquainted with her father.”

Hearing that, Artemis smiled and passed him the file in his hands.
