Female Novel
Chapter 407
The first thing Selena saw the next morning when she opened the door was Pierre. He was leaning against the doorframe, looking stupidly arrogant as usual. She was about to talk when he suddenly brandished a bouquet of flowers, much to her shock. She took a couple of steps back.
"Oh, don’t be such a scaredy cat. Not like I’ll gobble you up.” He held the bouquet. “Here. For you.”
She looked at the flowers he was holding. "This is not how you give flowers to women.” She wasn’t planning on accepting it.
“Well, how else are you supposed to give them flowers, then?”
Selena snorted and went to her car, ignoring him.
“Hey, that’s rude. I came here all the way in the morning just to give you some flowers. You can’t just refuse me.”
“Yes, I can!” She went straight for her car without sparing a look for him.
"Alright, fine.” Pierre tossed the flowers into the trash can, much to Selena’s chagrin.
This guy doesn’t know how to court a woman. I wasn’t really refusing it. He should have given it to me no matter what, but instead, he throws it away? Right. I have to teach him a lesson.
She drove away, and Pierre kicked his car’s door. “Dammit!” She refuses my flowers? How dare she?
Selena came to her company. Finally, I can work again. She noticed her employees huddled together in discussion when she came in. “Well, you guys look happy. What happened?”
“Oh, hello, President Yard. Did you hear the news? Lake Corporation’s going bust!” An employee looked excited.
“Lake Corporation?” Selena thought she was hearing things.
“Finneas Lake’s company.” Selena had talked about her relationship with Finneas publicly before, so everyone knew Finneas was her ex-boyfriend, and he was also a f*ckboy.
“I see…” Selena knew about Lake Corporation’s mismanagement, but she didn’t expect bankruptcy to hit them that soon.novelbin
“They said it’s because their system got hacked, and their important data was stolen. The hacker leaked their doctored accounts and the fraud they committed against consumers. The government’s looking into their case right now.” Content belongs to svn0vel.net
“They fell because of a cyberattack?” That only confused her more. Lake Corporation might be scum, but that was just how business was. She never expected them to be attacked that badly.
“Did you do this, President Yard?” Her employees realized she might be the one behind the attack, and they gave her their thumbs up. “If it’s true, great job.”
“Yeah, President Yard. Nice work.”
“Awesome, President Yard.”
“That f*ckboy deserves this. I like your style, President Yard.”
Her employees started clapping, but she quickly stopped them. “Stop. I didn’t do it, so don’t push it on me. And get back to work.”
Her employees didn’t buy it, since Lake Corporation’s staff never crossed anyone except for Selena Yard. And it was a listed company, so their systems were heavily encrypted. No normal hacker could have hacked their systems that easily. Content belongs to svn0vel.net
Besides, not everyone could pay the price for a professional hacker to do that. Even if they could, that didn’t mean any hacker would take the job. The employer had to be someone great too. And the only person who fitted the bill perfectly was Selena. Content belongs to svn0vel.net
Entering her office, Selena went to her seat and googled the case about Lake Corporation.
