In the blink of an eye, his deep gaze moved away from Carolina Petry's fake smiley face. He lowered his head, and his eyes finally landed on her outstretched hand, staring silently for a long while.
After a bit, Damon Harper still didn't take the bait, and Carolina's smile started to freeze on her face.
Just as her hand was about to give up from exhaustion and numbness, Damon slowly reached out.
But he reached out with his left hand.
Carolina didn’t overthink it and quickly switched to her left hand too.
They shook hands as if it were the most normal thing in the world.
At this point, Carolina's smile instantly turned into a grimace. She seemed to be in extreme pain but didn't say a word.
Then, she looked up at Damon. Seeing his unpredictable expression, Carolina showed a flash of doubt in her eyes, then tried hard to keep smiling, turned and pulled Keira to the front, and continued, "Mr. Harper, this is my granddaughter, Keira, a key figure in our Pulse Entertainment..."
"I know."
Damon Harper's indifferent voice rang out, exciting both Carolina and Keira.
But before they could even start to celebrate, Damon continued.
"The prettiest but most useless face of Pulse Entertainment, the biggest failure of a perfumer at the Olson Group, I've heard all about it."
Carolina’s and Keira’s smiles froze on their faces, unable to maintain them any longer, making for an extremely awkward scene.
Even Lauretta, who stood nearby, couldn't help but turn her head, unable to bear the awkwardness.
Chloe smirked, taking Rose, who was shaking with laughter, and they walked away.
Damon glanced at them out of the corner of his eye, made no move, and turned his attention to Lance instead.
