Chapter 755: He Fell in Love with a Little Wild Cat
โTwenty bucks tip?โ Levi was startled. Was this really happening?
โLeviโโ
Levi smiled. โGrandma, Iโll listen to you. You have the final say.โ
After buying a pregnancy test, Joyce returned to the auction house, still intending to bid on the underworld book. However, Olive and Anabelle were gone. Their disappearance was unsettling.
Joyce searched for them, and when Damienโs secretary noticed her, he approached. โHow can I help you?โ
The auction house was crowded. While making her way to the secretary, someone bumped into Joyce, causing her plastic bag to fall, spilling the pregnancy test.
โAh!โ someone exclaimed. โLook, a pregnancy test! Whose is it?โ
The words โpregnancy testโ created a stir. Whispers filled the air: โOh my god, who brought a pregnancy test to the auction house?โ
Joyce calmly retrieved the test and bag. She pursed her lips. โSorry, everyone. My husbandโฆ is older, so I needed to buy a test quickly.โ
The secretary was stunned. He turned and fled. Joyce, confused, found that her would-be helper had vanished.
The secretary sprinted upstairs, bursting into the VIP meeting room where Damien was conducting a high-level meeting. The CFO was presenting a quarterly report.
โPresident,โ the secretary whispered.
โHuh?โ Damien replied flatly.
The secretary swallowed. โPresident, I have something to reportโฆ I just saw Miss Brown downstairs. She has a pregnancy test. Sheโs pregnant!โ
Damienโs hand froze mid-document. His voice was deep and cold, โWhat did you say?โ
The CFO stopped his report, terrified. The executives watched Damien, his handsome face grim, a chilling aura emanating from him. They remained silent, fearing their boss's wrath.
The secretary frowned. โPresident, Miss Brown is pregnant. And she saidโฆ youโre a good old man. Youโre going to be a father!โ
A pin could be heard dropping. The CFO hesitantly asked, โPresidentโฆ should I continue?โ
โGet out!โ Damienโs voice was icy.
The executives scrambled from their seats and fled the room.
Damienโs chest heaved, his anger barely contained.
His secretary ventured, โPresident, isโฆ the baby not yours? Did Miss Brownโฆ cuckold you?โ
Damien glared, as if ready to kill him. The secretary wished he could slap himself.
Damien rose and strode to the French window, tugging at his tie. Joyceโs face flooded his mind. He hadnโt touched her since his return. How could she be pregnant? Another man. Sheโd been at Visionary for years, her past a mystery to him. Humiliation washed over him. He wasnโt finished with her.
โShow me. I want to know who that bastard is!โ
The secretary, a long-time employee, had never seen Damien lose control like this. With Joyce, however, he was a different man.
โYes, sir.โ
โAlso, has she returned the $1.4 billion? If not, send a lawyerโs letter. If she comes begging, tell her to wait at the mansionโฆโ
The secretary interrupted. โPresident, Miss Brown just sent $1.4 billion.โ
Damien stiffened, his eyes flashing. โWhat did you say?โ He couldnโt believe she had that kind of money.
โShe sent $1.4 billion and twenty dollars. She saidโฆโ
โShe said what?โ
โShe said she calculated everything to ensure she didnโt lose. She ruinedโฆ your place. Twenty dollars isโฆ a tip, Presidentโฆโ
Damienโs cheeks twitched. A twenty-dollar tip?
He laughed angrily. โTell her, twenty dollars is too little for a tip.โ
The secretary was close to tears. โPresident, Miss Brown anticipated your reaction and added a messageโฆ that your skills were really bad, only worth twenty dollars at most.โ
Damienโs face paled. That damn woman!
โInvestigate. Find out where her $1.4 billion came from, and who the hell that man is!โ
The secretary was astonished at Damien's fury. He could have any woman he wanted, but he only desired Joyce, his little wildcat.
โYes, sir.โ
Damien stopped him. โGo back. What did Joyce come to the auction for? What did she want to buy?โ
โPresident, I heard she was here for the underworld book.โ
