His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1817

At this juncture, there were three knocks on the door. The two froze, then exchanged a look. The man said, “Use the back door.”

He cocked his head to indicate the direction behind him. As Rhea hurried past him, she heard his deep voice, “Wait!”

She halted and heard him say, “Leave it!” while tapping his finger at the desk.

Rhea hesitated, then obediently put the bottle on the desk. Then she hurried away after looking at it intensely.

The man was odd and inconsistent, and his size made it easy for one to overcome him. However, Rhea did not do so, nor did Mike. They dared not do anything not because they feared him but because they dreaded the power and organization behind him.

He was not alone and was not the top leader at the same time. They could not uncover what secrets he was hiding and dared not find out about them.

As for Rhea, all she ever wanted was to create something that could astonish the world. Soon, she disappeared behind the man.

The man tilted his head, ensured Rhea was gone, and said, “Come in!”

He crouched down and sat on the edge of the desk with his hands propped on it. Dangling his legs, he picked up the bottle Rhea had left and fiddled with it.

Mike was puzzled when he came in. There were glass shards everywhere, as if a massive battle had occurred, and he had to step over the shards to avoid them.
