Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game

”When did you start liking black coffee too?” Atlas Hallow looked at Charlotte Miller as she took a big sip from the cup of black coffee before adding sugar and milk.

He remembered that she didn’t like it before. The coffee she drank had to have lots of milk and sugar.

Because she said she didn’t like black coffee, and when he drank it, Charlotte always thought he looked rather ridiculous.

Now, she herself seemed to have fallen in love with drinking black coffee.

”Don’t flatter yourself, it’s not because I have feelings for you and want to become like you. It’s just that over the years, when things get overwhelming and the mind is exhausted, drinking this is effective.” Charlotte cast a glance at Atlas Hallow, smiling inwardly, wondering what this man was thinking.

Been watching too many movies?

There was a situation in movies where, after the male protagonist died, the female protagonist adopted all his lifestyle habits, because she loved him so deeply that she became like him.

Is that how he sees her?

”In front of you, I really don’t have any confidence at all.” Atlas Hallow took a sip of black coffee with a smile, speaking slowly, steadily, and gently.

Charlotte smiled faintly, making Atlas Hallow feel as if his bones were about to turn to powder.

”But Charlotte, you don’t need to exert yourself so much. If the day ever comes when you’re too exhausted, I can do anything for you.” At these words, Atlas Hallow looked into Charlotte’s eyes, as if speaking directly into her heart.

Charlotte didn’t say anything more; the first evening passed slowly like this.

At the close, she was satisfied to see the price of XX Network just resting at the point she expected. Tomorrow, just one more day and it will truly be halved.

”It’s over now, you should go rest too.” Charlotte stood up and issued a polite dismissal to Atlas Hallow, feeling extremely tired and eager to sleep.

”I’ll take you home.” Atlas Hallow thought Charlotte was going home to rest; driving at this point wouldn’t be advisable since her eyes were almost closing.

”No need, I’ll just sleep here. Close the door for me on your way out.” Charlotte pointed to the office door, then walked into the lounge without looking back, truly exhausted.

Actually, this work wasn’t physically intense but mentally demanding, so she needed to sleep immediately.

Atlas Hallow sighed with a smile, leaving Charlotte’s office, estimating that by half-past eight tomorrow she would be diligently working here again.

Driving towards the Hallow Clan, he realized he’s almost been living in his office too. The apartment was given to Charlotte and Mia, and the Hallow Family mansion is a bit of a distance from the company; any traffic jam is problematic, so he rarely went back and mostly stayed in the office.

What breakfast should I bring her tomorrow morning?

After staying up all night, feeling off indeed suggests a lack of appetite, so something light but nourishing is necessary.

Simultaneously driving, he called the housekeeper to give instructions before returning to his office to shower and sleep in peace.

That night Charlotte slept very deeply, unaware of how much the outside world had changed.

Early in the morning, the few floors of Howard Enterprise were swamped with reporters.

It’s unclear how they got the news, all prepared and camping out.

Annie Gray woke up earlier than Charlotte, intending to go downstairs to get breakfast for Charlotte, only to discover that the reception on the lower floor was filled with reporters.

Since they couldn’t come up to this floor, they gathered at the reception, demanding to interview Charlotte.

”Can you confirm if the manipulation of XX Network’s stock price yesterday caused significant volatility?”

”Is President Miller the person behind it, and did she do it because XX Network revealed President Miller’s private affairs about having a child?”

”Has President Miller had any marriage relationship with Hallow Clan’s president?”

”When can we get an interview with you?”

Annie was a bit shocked; she went downstairs just to convey some matters to the secretary’s office and was surprised by such a scene.

Trying to sneak back upstairs, she was spotted by sharp-eyed reporters.

”That’s Assistant Gray from Howard Enterprise. Assistant Gray, can you answer a few questions for us?”

The reporters crowded the reception as if discovering a new world, swarming towards Annie.
