Chapter 15 - What a Small World (1/2)

He was busy reading the transaction reports that the finance department sent to his office earlier. His eyes were glued on the document, but his mind was on something else. Scratch that—someone else. Hero couldn't forget the woman he shared the night before. Giving up with a sigh, he dumped the documents on his desk and rubbed his temples.

Daryl was late. What's taking him so long? Getting the information about that woman should be easy since she's working in one of his companies. There was no way he couldn't get what he needed.

Still, Hero waited for his ȧssistant. He didn't have a choice but to wait. Lifting his wine glass, he leaned back and stared outside his window. There was something about Luna Jiang that intrigued him. Remembering her face, he wondered if it was her clear bright eyes that showed depth and emotions.

There was a hint of defiance in her eyes; nevertheless, she was clear as daylight. She didn't have any ill intentions when she found out she'd slept with him. If she was another woman, she might have tried to use the situation to wrap him around her finger. But instead, Luna Jiang refused his advancements. She tried her best not to fall for his charm.

'Such an interesting girl,' Hero chuckled.

After an hour of waiting, Daryl finally arrived. Hero was still seething in anger, but his perfectly cold and emotionless face betrayed none of that.

”So what did you find?” Holding back his anger had been difficult. His patience waned for every minute that passed as he waited for Daryl.

Daryl noticed the hard stare Hero was giving him and nearly fell back, with fear in his eyes. His boss wasn't this impatient before. What could have happened to him?

”These are the details. Her profile and employee data that was stored in the HR department was incomplete, sir. So I have to run another background check to know if she was hiding something, which she did.”

He then took a file from his case and handed it to his employer. Hero's lips curled in annoyance, but he still took the paper and gave it a quick scan. Comparing the employee's data to Daryl's report was kinda interesting. He was able to find out the missing details especially about Luna's family.

Interesting indeed. Who would have thought that woman was the daughter of his mortal enemy? What a small world. Stephen Jiang's illegitimate daughter fell to his hands, and Hero wouldn't waste a chance to get his revenge.
