The return of the underestimated imperial master

chapter 12

At once, Selena stood up with no expression laced on her face while Reed scoffed.

Only then did she rush towards the computer system while her eyes widened in shock also. Then, she looked at her subordinates who also looked at her in fear. It seemed as though they had probably stepped on the tails of someone very important.

“Mr Reed….” She called out, her voice barely a whisper.

“We're sorry for doubting you. As a means of compensation, we will make sure that the blank card will have your name imprinted and….”

Reed, who seemed unsure of what was happening, shook his head.

If it was that, he preferred to do that himself.

“Would you take me to Cornell now?” He asked dryly, his voice filled with venom. Selena smiled lightly and glanced at the computer screen again.

This man was truly rich and it turned out that she had underestimated him. What if he pressed charges against them?

Not only would she be in trouble but her work would be at stake!

“Of course, sir…. “

However, she needed to be sure that this was his decision. Even though he was wealthy as she had seen, she knew that Cornell wasn't someone he could deal with directly.

“If you didn't see that on the screen, you would have denied me access. Truly, you people only respect the rich” Reed muttered while Selena hurriedly had the card given to him with due respect as she led the way.

“I'm really sorry that you had to go through such touch screening But I'll advise you to reconsider your decision….”

However, Reed looked towards the large hallway coldly and back at her.

“For how long do we have to get there?”

He asked instead.

Selena became disappointed at that statement.

She was only trying to look out for him but it seemed as though his mind was made up.

She knew who Cornell was. To her, he was a deadly man.

It turned out that Cornell was the reason she lost her direct Uncle and almost wanted to force his way with her if not for the intervention of one of the direct men, thereby finding her way to the top.

Never would she wish the traumatizing incident on just anyone.

However, Selena hesitated after a while.

“I'll take you to the bar right now. That's where Sir Cornell and his wife usually chill.

They love the perfect serene silence before anything. That way, you can get to talk to him perfectly”

She hurriedly continued, hoping that she could find favour again in his sight.

Reed's hands clenched tightly as they walked towards the elevator. Cornell, I bet you'll be so surprised to see me, huh?

He thought icily as Selena hurriedly closed the elevator door, not wanting to get him pissed off.

Somehow, she could sense how strange he seemed.

A minute later, they got to a green like garden that seemed to be cultured over time.

Blood money! Reed thought coldly as he gazed through the illuminated light that gave the surrounding a very perfect view.

At a distance, she saw the man who had his hands crossed behind him as he stared at a particular distance as if he was enjoying the view.

I bet you will be happy to see me; Reed thought again while Selena glanced at him.

She could tell that there were some personal differences between the both. However, she could not help but wonder what it was.

Maybe if she did ask, she could use that moment to talk to the man? She could not help but wonder as she folded her palms
