Colors had long drained from Shanice's face. As her heart started racing, she knocked on the door before entering the office.
"Who is she? Why has Mr. Norton asked her over after his marriage? Is she Mr. Norton's mistress?" The receptionist muttered to herself before returning to her position.
As Shanice entered the office, she stared at the man behind the table, yet he was in the middle of perusing the documents, showing no intention to talk to her.
After a few minutes, Fabian put the contract aside after he signed it. Once he was done, he raised his head and sized up Shanice who was in front of him.
"Are you Shanice?"
He was slightly disappointed by the woman's look because he thought she didn't have the things it would take to charm Jaxon into picking a fight with him.
Is it because Jaxon thinks I'm an easy target or is it because he has a weird kink for women like this?
Although Shanice was gorgeous, she was nothing close to the socialite Fabian would encounter on a daily basis.
"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! You're not even a match for Hannah!" Fabian exclaimed as he had his eyes glued to Shanice.
When Shanice heard him, she thought she had misperceived the reason she was summoned there.
Has he summoned me because of my look instead of the accident?
Shanice was stunned when she thought about it. Seconds after she gathered her thoughts, she ran her fingers through her hair and looked Fabian in the eyes.
He felt a chill running down his spine and knew she had misperceived his words, thinking he had a thing for her.
"Are you Shanice?" Slouching against the chair, he deadpanned his question after losing interest in the woman.
He couldn't help but wonder if his subordinates had sent the wrong person to his office.
