When Romeo finished his last call, his face was so dark. All of his former subordinates at Lowe's Pharmaceutical had chosen to stay, without exception. Some even refused to answer his calls.
"What's wrong, honey? What happened?" Eliza asked anxiously.
"Lachlan! It's that Lachlan! These turncoats all talked to the guy with Lachlan and changed their minds!" Romeo said through gritted teeth.
"What? That gigolo next to Miranda? How is that possible? A gigolo like him has no power," Harlow exclaimed incredulously.
"Who knows what dirty tricks he used! And the most ridiculous thing is that he boasted about having orders worth at least 100 million in the near future! Damn it, did these turncoats believe him just because of this?" Romeo's expression was constantly changing.
Of course, these company executives couldn't reveal their own shady dealings and instead used Lachlan's "pie in the sky" promises as an excuse for their betrayal.
"Haha, orders worth 100 millions? This Lachlan is really a clown who dares say anything! Are these turncoats all idiots for believing him?" Harlow laughed angrily.
"The situation definitely isn't that simple!" Romeo spoke in a low voice.
"So... are we still going to the company?" Eliza asked.
Hearing this, Romeo exploded with anger, "Are you stupid? Why would we go there? To humiliate ourselves?"
Meanwhile, in Miranda's office, she stared at the man before her as if trying to see through him. The more she looked at him, the more mysterious he seemed.
"What are you looking at? Am I handsome?" Lachlan touched his nose and smiled awkwardly. Even he felt his heart skip a beat when being scrutinized by such a stunning goddess.
"Well... you're kind of handsome," Miranda smiled and nodded before continuing to stare at Lachlan. "How did you do it?"
Lachlan shrugged his shoulders and said cryptically, "It's a secret."
Everyone has something they don't want others to know about - things that often manifest in their physical condition or personal habits.
After infusing his eyes with dragon energy, Lachlan possessed a pair of eyes that were skilled at discovering secrets. For example, Macy's miscarriage and the fact that a company executive was actually suffering from HIV, which no one else knew about except for him.
This disease is protected by hospital privacy laws and society advocates against discrimination towards those who suffer from it. Any employer was not allowed to refuse employment to someone because they had HIV.
However, despite these regulations and advocacy, just imagine the pressure this person would face if their secret was revealed. Being mortified would be inevitable!
It can be said that they succumbed because Lachlan sent them a signal: I can expose you and all your hidden secrets! Just like Shelly before them, they feared Lachlan - even dread him.
"Hmph! Forget it then!" Miranda snorted lightly with some dissatisfaction before asking again, "Lachlan, why are you helping me like this? In reality, we're just in a business deal. I haven't been particularly good to you."
Lachlan smiled and replied, "You've been pretty good. Today, you even helped me deal with your cousin. You're this protective of your family, so as your husband, shouldn't I be too?"
In fact, Lachlan's attitude toward Miranda had changed from the moment she had shielded him from seven assassins the day before. This fake marriage was no longer just a transaction to him.
"Who is your wife?" Miranda heard the words and gave Lachlan a sharp look, muttering under her breath. But there was still a faint smile on her pretty face, indicating that she wasn't really opposed to the idea.
"Oh, I forgot. There's no one else here," Lachlan said sheepishly.
"Well then, Ms. Lowe, if you don't mind, I'll be going," he added.
