Chapter 1234: Defeating a Rival in Love Without a Fight
To say his woman is dull is truly the case. Where did all those captivating little tricks go that she used to pursue him in the first place?
The rhythmic, crisp sound of typing echoes in the office, accompanied by the rising and falling noise from the computer’s drama. Originally, two conflicting sounds now blend exceptionally well together, so much so that a third person cannot fit in.
So, when Lynn Easton pushed the door open, she was taken aback.
In her impression, Mason Nightshade is a meticulous and very strict person who never allows any entertainment sounds to interrupt while working. But now, someone is watching...watching a drama in his office?!
And the person is a woman!
All women have a natural intuition; Lynn Easton’s gaze first fell on the woman on the sofa—her legs hugged to her chest, long curly black hair draped over her shoulders, revealing a small nose. The posture can’t be called elegant; it can be described as lazy, as if she were at home.
How well does one have to know Mason Nightshade to be so relaxed in front of him?
Aurelia Shaw sensed a gaze fixed on her, moved her head to look over, and saw Lynn Easton standing at the door. She raised an eyebrow, with a smile at the corner of her mouth that seemed to already know the situation.
Lynn Easton, for some reason, felt her back tingle under Aurelia’s gaze, an inexplicable feeling of guilt.
She straightened her back, walked up to Mason Nightshade in high heels, and handed over a document. In the brief glance earlier, although she didn’t see the woman’s face clearly, she wasn’t without her own leverage. A woman who only watches dramas is, compared to a career-oriented woman like herself, more suitable for Mason Nightshade.
Though thinking this way, there was an unavoidable sense of guilt in Lynn Easton’s heart.
"I’ve reviewed the plan you submitted earlier. It perfectly fits the theme of the proposal. I’ll tell Gustavo Yates to communicate with you about the subsequent matters," Mason Nightshade stated in a businesslike tone, handing the signed document to Lynn Easton.
For a moment, a look of disbelief crossed Lynn Easton’s face. "You’re not going to follow up on the subsequent projects?"
Mason Nightshade frowned, seemingly unable to comprehend why she would say such a thing. "Miss Easton, I think you may have misunderstood. I am the company’s president, and the files waiting for me to handle are piling up like mountains. Is there a need for me to personally follow up on a small project?"
Lynn Easton was initially bewildered, then embarrassed. What she thought was an important project was just a small project to Mason Nightshade, and she thought she could use the opportunity to get closer to him.
She always wore the finest clothes growing up and had the best living conditions among her friends. She believed she was good enough to stand beside such an outstanding man, only to realize she overestimated herself.
Lynn Easton could no longer stay and almost fled after grabbing the files signed by Mason Nightshade.
Before leaving, she glanced at the woman on the sofa; apart from the initial look when she entered, the woman hadn’t paid her any attention.
Suddenly, Lynn Easton felt like a clown jumping around, foolishly trying to seize what belonged to others, only to find out she was never on their radar.
...
This little interlude didn’t affect the two at all. Mason Nightshade maintained a businesslike attitude toward Lynn Easton, clear and unreserved, even in front of Aurelia Shaw. Such a method truly leaves no room for criticism.
