Rose’s eyes shone brightly as stars, her eyes burning with unwavering faith. "No, you have to."
George’s eyes were bloodshot, and his scarlet pupils showed his unparalleled anger. "Ange Lin, I don’t care who you are. And I don’t want to know who instructed you to come here, but you will leave here immediately!"
Rose heaved a helpless sigh.
It seemed that the name 'Ange Lin' was counterproductive.
Her father suspected that her motives for approaching him were impure instead.
She had to find ways to dispel his apprehension. 1
Thus, she started making a strange movement. She pulled George's hand out and curled his middle finger. Then, she wrapped his other four fingers with her slender hand and left only the tip of his fingers exposed.
It was a game of guessing where the middle finger would be that she and her father used to play when she was young.
George's eyes widened bewilderedly as he stared at her in a daze!
Rose looked at him earnestly and piously. “Severe Enterprises is on the brink of bankruptcy and has
fallen to its lowest point. Are you afraid of adding one more enemy to the list?”
George pushed his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. The horror Rose gave him was yet to dissipate. "That’s true. Then, what are you doing here?"
"To save Severe Enterprises,” Rose said in a way as if she was taking an oath. Her expression carried an unprecedented solemness.
"Have trust in me."
George looked at Ange suspiciously. 'He' looked quite meticulous and earnest.
There were sounds of footsteps upstairs.
George let go of Rose's hand and feigned being absentminded. "I know you hackers have extraordinary sets o f skills. But, the Severe family is already in debt. We can't afford to pay your high salary."
