From the moment she entered the elevator, she was thinking about how to apologize all the way. And, if Christopher Moore intended to make things difficult for her, what should she do?
Her hand rested on her handbag. Regardless, she couldn't possibly give up the divorce agreement in hand!
In front of the CEO's office door.
Ruby Mercer started to sweat with nervousness.
Kenneth Morgan knocked on the office door, "Mr. Moore, Miss Mercer is here!"
At this moment, a clear male voice came from inside, "Come in!"
"Miss Mercer, please, come in. Our CEO is waiting for you!"
With that said, not giving Ruby Mercer a chance to hesitate, he directly opened the door and pushed her inside.
"Hey, you..."
With a "bang," the door behind her closed.
Ruby Mercer nervously looked up, and at this moment, she saw the man sitting behind the desk.
A handsome profile, more profound and steady than the last time she saw him at the hospital.
This time, without her mask, she felt exposed and unable to hide.
"Mr. Moore, hello, I am Alvin Hargreaves' wife, Ruby Mercer. Today I'm here to..."
Finally, Christopher Moore looked up from the documents in front of him.
The man's face turned grim as he interrupted her, "Are you sure you want to introduce yourself this way?"
Ruby met the man's gaze, clearly seeing the word "warning" in his eyes.
She immediately guessed that it might be because the name "Alvin Hargreaves" had angered him.
She continued to apologize, "Mr. Moore, I was rude last time. I hope you, as a bigger person, might overlook the unpleasantness and also spare the Hargreaves Group."
At this time, the man crossed his arms, leisurely looking at the woman by the door who refused to come closer.
"I have never considered myself a bigger person!"
Not only was he not a bigger person, but also very petty!
Otherwise, she wouldn't have ended up in his office.
At this time, Christopher Moore's phone rang with a message notification from Kenneth Morgan.
The man picked up the phone and glanced at it.
[Mr. Moore, just now Miss Mercer and Alvin Hargreaves signed the divorce agreement. The condition is that Moore Cloud restores all relations with the Hargreaves Group!]
After putting away the phone, Christopher Moore looked at her, a glint of praise in his eyes!
That shining look sent a chill down Ruby Mercer's spine.
She immediately bowed at ninety degrees, "Mr. Moore, I am really sorry for last time!"
Seeing her nervous appearance, the man couldn't help but tease her.
Getting up, he walked towards her, "To tell you the truth, I never intended to easily let you guys off, nor did I plan to spare the Hargreaves Group!"
For a man to be nitpicky to this degree, it's quite peculiar.
A look of disdain flashed across Ruby's eyes, "You..."
Christopher Moore caught the emotion in her eyes and continued, "You, knowing that I have feelings for you, still deliberately rude to me and embarrass me."
Ruby angrily said, "Mr. Moore, I am Alvin Hargreaves' wife, please behave!"
The man raised an eyebrow, "Behave?"
"Sorry!"
"Won't!"
Ruby's mouth twitched.
Listen to this, such shameless words spoken so openly!
"Mr. Moore, what will it take for you to restore collaboration with the Hargreaves Group?"
Christopher's 1.9-meter height pressured her, "Still want to cooperate?"
"Alvin Hargreaves went even further. He dared to tamper with my drink on such an occasion. Did he think I, Christopher Moore, am dead?"
A malicious glint flashed in the man's eyes; at this moment, the distance between them was only ten centimeters.
Ruby was shocked by his words!
So Alvin Hargreaves drugged him at that dinner party!
It was because he was drugged that he acted aggressively towards her in the bathroom?
So, it's all retribution?
Because of Alvin Hargreaves' mistake, the retribution fell on her?
Sadness flashed across Ruby's eyes.
She had nothing to say, only apologizing, "I'm sorry!"
When she gathered her thoughts and looked up at the man again, he was already standing right in front of her.
Feeling the oppressive aura from him, Ruby panicked and pushed him away.
"President Hargreaves, you... you, what do you want to do?"
However, her small arms and legs were no match for the man.
Christopher Moore stretched out his long arms, taking one small step closer, trapping her between his chest and the wall.
"If I really wanted to do something, you might not be able to stop it!"
Ruby was terrified, facing the man's deep dark black eyes, and her mind was filled with scenes from that night in the bathroom.
An hour of helplessness and dismay.
The man looked at her almond eyes, raising an eyebrow, "So don't struggle, and don't move. We are all young people, and if provoked, I don't know what I might do!"
Ruby watched the man's thin lips move, along with his moving Adam's apple, and swallowed subconsciously.
Evil!
Not only was he good-looking, but he was also so skilled in flirting!
She pressed her hands against the man's chest, her nervous gaze not knowing where to look, only able to apologize aimlessly.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
"Alvin Hargreaves definitely didn't do it on purpose. I apologize on his behalf!"
Christopher Moore watched her panic, easily pinning her hands above her head,
"You apologize on his behalf?"
"In what capacity are you apologizing on his behalf?"
Ruby swallowed hard, "I am his wife, um..."
Christopher knitted his brows, immediately lowering his lips over hers.
Ruby instinctively covered her mouth in fright.
She looked at the man in front of her with wide watery eyes!
What did he want to do?
Why did she see sparks in his eyes...
Christopher was pleased with her reaction; as she retracted her hand to cover her mouth, he moved one step closer.
This time, the distance between them closed even further.
The man looked at her red lips, his Adam's apple rolling unconsciously, "And that night, because of the strong drug, I lost my virginity."
Ruby cursed internally:
What the hell!
How could he be so straightforward!
Christopher stared at her face with unwavering intensity, "That night, the drug caused me to bully a woman, making it so I still don't know how to face her!"
After speaking, Christopher's eyes were full of Ruby.
The man's deep dark eyes were filled with her face, causing Ruby's heart to beat completely out of rhythm.
Her heartbeat suddenly reached her throat, "President Hargreaves, you..."
So, was this man implying something?
Did he know from the beginning it was her?
Yes!
She left in a rush today without her mask!
The man spoke in a low voice.
"It's me!"
"It was me who took you that night!"
"But I won't say I'm sorry!"
Ruby panicked, at a loss for words, forgetting to struggle...
She looked up at the man's face, "I, you..."
For a long time, she couldn't express what she wanted to say.
Very flustered!
Very confused!
Finally, seeing her disarray, Christopher softened!
He took a step back, releasing her, and walked away towards the office desk without hesitation.
"You can go back now!"
The man picked up some documents on the side and continued to read, "This issue cannot be resolved with just an apology!"
Without the man's support, Ruby leaned against the door panel, her legs too weak to stand!
"What do you want?"
Having finally obtained Alvin Hargreaves' divorce agreement, she couldn't give it up so easily.
Christopher said, "I don't plan to let him off!"
He glanced at her again, "I want to destroy him! Destroy the Hargreaves Group!"
Ruby finally steadied herself and walked towards him, "He drugged you, you slept with me, isn't that settled!"
She approached with an aggressive demeanor.
