Chapter 1516 Never Judge A Book By Its Cover
Feeling anxious, the manager lowered his head to look at his phone. If I were to answer yes to Sallyâs question, what would Mr. Kyle think of me?
No way. I have to prove to Mr. Kyle that Iâm loyal to Seet Group.
âMr. Seet treats us very well, and itâs hard to find another boss like him. Besides, Seet Group is the best company anyone could find in Y City. Iâm happy with where Iâm at now,â he answered.
Once again, Kyle sighed on the other end of the phone. Come on! Just tell her what she wants to hear! Right now, itâs not about you. Itâs about finding out Sallyâs motive!
Clearly, the manager did not understand his instruction.
Upon realizing how righteous the man was, Sally knew he would not fall into the temptation easily. After filling up the two glasses of wine, she decided to change her strategy.
âCheers.â Sally raised her glass, and the manager did the same.
âSince youâve no desire to climb up the ladder and enjoy better pay and benefits, whatâs your aim in life? Tell me, so Iâll know what you like,â Sally asked directly.
The manager froze for a moment. âSorry, I donât get what you mean. Feel free to ask me any questions. You donât have to know my preference to keep this conversation going.â
âFine. Iâll cut to the chase then. I want to know all about Seet Groupâs partnership with other businesses and the companyâs cash flow,â Sally said.
The manager was taken aback. Her relationship with Mr. Kyle has just become official, and sheâs already eager to get her hands on Seet Group? How desperate is she.
Mr. Kyle must have heard what she said, and I donât think heâd be happy to continue with this relationship. Right now, I must draw the line with her to show Mr. Kyle Iâm on his side.
He said, âI canât tell you! The companyâs information is private and confidential. Iâd have to face legal consequences had I leaked the information, and I canât betray Mr. Kyle.â
âNo one will know. Iâll keep it a secret.â Sally tried to convince him.
What do you mean by no one will know? Mr. Kyle is listening to us right now!
âTell me what you want. Iâll give you everything you need if you can provide me with the information I want. Do you want money? How about women? Iâm sure either one will make you happy,â Sally suggested.
âCome on. You only live once, so live life to the fullest!â she added.
The manager said, âIâm married, and Mr. Seet has given me enough money for my position. I donât need anything else.â
He added, âYouâre Mr. Kyleâs girlfriend now, and one day, the two of you will own Seet Group. I donât understand why you are so desperate to get your hands on the companyâs confidential information?â
Kyle was relieved that the manager had finally asked a proper question.
Sally paused for a bit and smirked. âYou donât have to know. Just give me the information if you donât want your family to be in danger.â
âExcuse me?â
Sally took a glance at her watch. âI donât have time to play this game with you anymore. Whether you like it or not, you have to tell me everything about Seet Group. For your information, your wife and your son are in my hands now.â
âWait a minute. What is this all about?â The manager was stunned.
âYou donât believe me? Check this out.â Sally took out her phone and played a short clip for him.
The managerâs expression turned grim instantly.
Mr. Kyleâs girlfriend might be young, but sheâs capable of orchestrating a kidnap? Never judge a book by its cover! What should I do now? Should I just give her the information she needs?
