Chapter 725 The Kingpin Has Returned!
The door to the CEO’s office was not closed, and there was a small gap.
Mavis stood outside the door and sneaked a peak.
Luke was standing sideways in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. His slender body carried acompelling extravagance as he looked at the bustling city outside.
The sunlight highlighted his side profile with a golden shine.
The corners of his lips were raised, and this sight could charm the heart of any woman in the world.
Mavis stared at Luke like a love-sick idiot. She wanted to open the door and rush over, but her feetseemed to be under a spell. She could not move at all.
After a while, she suddenly thought of her makeup. She took a deep breath and rushed into her office.
She had a private toilet inside her office.
With slightly shaky hands, Mavis took out the cosmetic bag she carried with her, poured out thecontents, and immediately began to doll herself up.
She had always thought that Luke liked strong, aggressive, and arrogant women, but she did notexpect that he preferred weak women like Bianca who were vulnerable and required protection.
It turned out that she had taken the wrong approach from the beginning.
Now that he was back, Mavis wondered if she stood a chance with him.
She quickly finished touching up her makeup and then applied soft pink eyeshadow to make heralready big eyes appear bigger and more innocent.
Next, she applied a light blush to make her already well-maintained skin pinker.
The peach lipstick that she applied made her lips look like it was covered with a layer of delicious jelly.
Finally, Mavis took off her formal-looking suit and put on a yellow dress that she used to roll her eyesat.
Mavis was satisfied when she saw her transformation from an arrogant to a beautiful woman.
"The man that I’ve had a crush on for ten years has returned. I’ll appear in front of him with a new look."Mavis leaned against the wall, stroking her chest and gasping gently. 1
She must remain calm and wow him with her new appearance.
She was now the beautiful and soft Mavis.
She had changed her entire appearance to suit his taste, hoping that he would take an extra glance ather.
The coffee machine in the corner made a slight noise, and the indicator light gradually turned from redto green.
The rich aroma wafted out of the coffee machine.
Usually, her female assistant made coffee for her, but this time, Mavis did it herself.
She took out a brand new porcelain cup, poured a cup of coffee, and added some creamer and a smallamount of sugar.
After the coffee was brewed, she mustered up her courage and walked to the door of Luke's office.
Mavis knocked on the door politely and walked in when she heard his reply. She turned the doorknoband said, "Mr. Crawford, I heard them say that you're back so I came here to take a look. I didn't expectit to be true!"
Mavis had tried to keep her composure, but the moment she saw Luke, all of her efforts turned futile.
She was like a fanatic girl who was enthusiastically chasing after celebrities. She was seeing thingsthrough rose-colored lenses while her heart was full of sweetness.
Her face was warm, and it was difficult for her to breathe.
Her dolled-up eyes almost welled up with tears from excitement.
Luke was more handsome than he was two years ago. His handsome and unparalleled silhouette hasbecome tough, dangerous, and charming with time. It was enough to make any woman scream inadmiration.novelbin
To her, he was the perfect man.
"Ms. Laviere." Luke glanced at her with a grim expression.
He was not sure of what she was trying to do.
The woman in front of him was mature and glamorous, but she deliberately wore a dress that made herlook younger. Her shy appearance, which was completely different from her usual tough appearance,made him feel awkward.
However, Mavis was overwhelmed with emotions and said, "Mr. Crawford, this is the coffee I made foryou. In the past two years that you've been away, I really missed..."
Before she could say the word 'you', she was interrupted by Luke. "Ms. Laviere, bring me thecompany's financial statements for the past two years. I'd like to have a look. Notify all shareholdersand hold a general meeting at four o'clock sharp. Also, hold a press conference immediately..."
His orders were precise and powerful.
Luke's domineering nature did not allow doubt, so Mavis could not say anything.
No one knew what Luke was going to do next. He was a mysterious man. The more Mavis knew abouthim, the deeper she fell for him.
In fact, with Mavis' strong capability, many companies had tried to headhunt her.
However, she was keeping a secret that she was too ashamed to tell anyone.
She loved the man in front of her deeply and could not bear to leave him.
Even though he had been absent for the past two years, she would rather safeguard the company thatthey had built together than change jobs.
The longer Mavis was around other men, the more she despised them.
Every time she met other men, she inadvertently compared them to Luke.
The gap between Luke and other men was too substantial.
A good man like Luke was rare, but unfortunately, his affections were reserved only for a womannamed Bianca, which made her distressed and annoyed.
Mavis bit her soft lip and immediately followed Luke's orders. However, she was upset.
She had dressed up according to his preferences, so why did he still not look at her more?
Luke looked at Mavis' back and composed his delicately carved face. He lit a cigarette and blew cloudswhile deep in thought.
He was a smart man, and he was well aware of Mavis' feelings toward him.
However, he could not bring himself to fire her.
One of the reasons was that she was good at what she did. The profits she brought to the companywere immeasurable and incomparable.
Secondly, she had contributed to the success of T Corporation. She dedicated all her best years to TCorporation. He could not bear himself to cast her aside once she was no longer of use.
Therefore, he had kept his distance from her as much as possible, warning her explicitly and implicitlythat he and Bianca were happy together. He always tried to get her to back off.
He thought that Ms. Laviere was a smart woman and should understand what he meant.
The news of Luke's return soon spread across A City.
Eugene Hawking of JK Media was dressed in a well-tailored white suit as he languidly rested in hischair in the CEO's office.
On the man's slender finger was an extraordinary blue sapphire ring. He had a casual smile on his faceand carried the noble aura of a gentleman.
Luke, the kingpin, had returned to A City. It seems that the entire A City was about to be turned upsidedown...
