Chapter 218
Seeing Hermanâs reaction, Flynn asked curiously, âDude, donât tell me you actually had a one-night stand with that woman? If your wife finds out, youâre toast.â
Herman shot Flynn a cold glance and headed to the meeting room. He didnât walk in right away, but stood outside, watching the woman inside through the glass window for a bit.
Just as Flynn had said, the woman looked innocent. She had neat bangs, long straight hair, and a pure-looking face. She was dressed in an orange dress and sat quietly. She gave off the vibe of the girl next door.
Flynn added, âHerman, she says her name is Kitty, sheâs 27 and works as a supermarket guide.â
Herman furrowed his eyebrows deeply. He had no recollection of Kitty. But the woman in his dreams also had such beautiful hair. On that note, Kitty did seem to resemble the woman in his dreams.
âYou wait here.â Herman said to Flynn, and then walked in alone.
Flynn wanted to know more about this matter, but had no chance.
Kitty had never been to such a luxurious company. She was nervous and a bit vain. She sat there, feeling like she owned the place.
She couldnât help but take out her phone, sneakily capturing the luxury of the meeting room, and then cautiously walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows to take a selfie, flaunting it on her social media account.
Everyone had a vain side, Kitty was no exception.
This was a rare opportunity for her, to be in the room of a listed company. These were all leather chairs. Those who could sit here for meetings were all high-class people.
Just after Kitty had posted the photo, the door to the room was pushed open. Herman walked in, looking handsome and cool. His presence was so powerful that it stunned her.
Kittyâs eyes widened. This was the first time she had seen such a handsome man. He was even more handsome than a movie star, with a strong presence, like a walking hormone.
Kitty became more and more nervous. Her mind was in chaos. There werenât many women who wouldnât fall for such a handsome man. âMs. Kitty.â Herman said in a light tone, âPlease sit.â
Kitty came back to her senses, blushing as she sat down, âMr. Salstrom, I am Kitty.â
Herman sat in his swivel chair, looking at Kitty, and his dark eyes seemed to see right through her. Hermanâs fingers tapped on the table, coldly saying, âMs. Kitty, tell me why youâre here.â
Before coming, Kitty had practiced many times how to talk to Herman. She had all her lines prepared, but now facing Herman, she was too nervous to speak. She was just a supermarket guide. How could she have ever met such a big shot?
Because of this, Kittyâs vanity was greatly satisfied. She had met the CEO of Elysian Technologies, enough to brag about for a lifetime.
Hermanâs eyebrows furrowed unhappily, asking again, âMs. Kitty?â
âI have something to discuss with you.â Kitty plucked up courage, âFive years ago, Mr. Salstrom got drunk in Neon Dreams, and that night, something happened between us.â
Herman asked directly, âWhat happened, can you tell me specifically?â
Kitty was taken aback. She didnât expect Herman to be so direct, as most people could guess what had happened.
Kitty hesitantly said, âThat night, we had sex.â
Herman remained expressionless, his slender fingers stroking his chin, asking, âAnd then?â
Kitty felt very embarrassed, but faced with Hermanâs questioning, she continued, âMr. Salstrom, you were drunk that day. You were very strong and I was scared. After we were done, I left. I didnât know who you were at the time. I was young and very frightened. This happened a long time ago. Recently I heard from a friend who was at Neon Dreams that night say that the drunk man was Mr. Salstrom solâ¦â
Herman calmly said, âCame to ask for compensation?â
âNo, no.â Kitty waved her hand, âI never thought about compensation. I want to become your wife. You had sex with me, so you should be responsible. Mr. Salstrom, that was my first time. Other than you, I havenât been with any other men all these years. In fact, that night, I fell in love with you.â
Hearing this, Herman sneered, âMs. Kitty, your demands are quite high.â
