Chapter 287 Lexi, think! (2/2)
'What an interesting woman.' He thought inwardly as he nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders and headed to the booth's display. Of course, the people following him also checked each product of theirs— even tried a few that obviously piqued their curiosity.
On the other hand, Stella Du's hand secretly balled into a fist— digging her long nails into her palms, nearly making it bleed and breaking her nails. This wasn't what she had planned.
Benjamin Shao shouldn't even bat an eye to their product because first impression was important to the said man. That's why each and everyone in their group spent tons of money and effort regarding their packaging as Stella Du was well-informed that Benjamin Shao would attend the showcase.

”Mr. Shao, Miss Yang was very good at producing effective products and very creative! She had been experimenting to perfect her formulations! Even, I, from the Du family was amazed by her end products!” Chiming in, Stella Du praised Lexi to the heavens to intrigue the man's curiosity and test the failed product.
”Really? Then, may I?” Raising his brows in interest, Benjamin Shao's hand slowly reached to the product that made Lexi broke out in sweat with every passing millisecond. It was as if time itself slowed down as she watched his hand get closer and closer to the damn thing.
