Chapter 340
The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon
Harriet looked up at Delbertâs handsome face.
In the sunlight, he looked dashing.
The tenderness in his eyes caused Harrietâs heart to skip a beat.
âWhat are you up to again?â she said.
âNot much. Just wanted to know if you're satisfied with my performance today,â said Delbert seductively.
Harrietâs mind went blank, and her cheeks turned rosy.
âUm, Iâm satisfied,â she murmured.
âTime to get back to work. I'll go get the documents for you,â Delbert said, brushing her nose with his finger.
He smiled and left the office.
But just as he took a few steps, a familiar voice came from beh Darryl.â
Delbert turned to see Blake standing not far away.
Blake approached him with praise. âYour performance in the meetin impressed me. You truly are an exceptional talent.â
Delbert narrowed his eyes, knowing that Blake was up to no good.
Blake didnât mind Delbertâs arrogance and continued to butter him up. But before they could exchange a few more words, Blake couldnât wait any longer and revealed his true intentions.
â| wonder if youâre interested in working for me. A talented person like you canât be just an assistant. Iâm willing to pay you five times the salary that Harriet gives you, and you can choose any position in the Munoz Group,â he said.
Blake thought Delbert would follow the path of advancement and gratefully join him. However, Delbert remained unmoved, showing not even a hint of excitement.
Blake continued with more persuasion. âMy offer is much better than Harrietâs. Not to mention, Harriet only became chairman through. connections. She doesnât know anything. She is only married to a powerful husband. What future can you have following her?â
Delbert remained indifferent to the benefits brought up by Blake.
Having been in a high position for a long time. What he lacked the least was money and power.
He only wanted Harriet.
But Blakeâs comment about Harriet marrying a good husband did strike a chord with Delbert.
Delbert lost his patience, saying, âIâm sorry, Mr. Munoz. No matter what, Mrs. Carlson is the chairman of the Munoz Group. By open poaching her assistant, isnât it equivalent to having malicious intentions?â
His eyes glinted with coldness, and he decided to leave the rest to Harriet.
He was only responsible for stabilizing the situation in the company. As for other things, he respected Harrietâs wishes.
