"CEO Peary, don't mind this. Some people just have this shortcut mentality."
Phoebe Walker desperately tried to make her presence known. She noticed the way Nia Mitchell looked at Maxwell Peary, like a rabbit faced with a big grey wolf.
So she decided to add fuel to the fire.
She couldn't be blamed for this; she was only speaking the truth.
Upon hearing Phoebe Walker's words, Maxwell Peary's eyes narrowed, and he turned to look at Phoebe Walker.
"Did I ask for your opinion?"
The cold words resounded powerfully, silencing the entire banquet once again.
Phoebe Walker choked, her eyes turning red.
Her tear-streaked, pitifully beautiful face made everyone feel sorry for her.
But this tactic wouldn't work on Maxwell Peary.
Hmm.
If it were Rabina, perhaps it would work on him.
"Um... CEO Peary, I was just stating the truth."
