What Johnny saw stunned him to his core. 'What is this?' he said to himself, in utter disbelief.
With his preconceived notions of what Andrew was as a person, he didn't understand why such things were in Andrew's office.
They were romantic novels.
'Normally, ' he thought to himself, 'only young women like reading these kinds of things. How did this appear in the CEO's office?'
In his peripheral vision, he suddenly saw Andrew cast him a cold glance. It made him realize that he might have acted a little too excited and surprised at his discovery.
Being Andrew's personal assistant for a long time now, he knew he shouldn't show any kind of astonishment on his face whenever he came across things like this.
'You better calm down!' he reprimanded himself.
Balling his fist, he took a deep breath and tried to move on.
But he just couldn't help but be astounded by the fact that Andrew was reading romantic novels in his office.
It was something so revelatory that he couldn't stay calm.
Laughing silently at himself, he began to wonder whether the CEO sitting in front of him was a fake one or whether Andrew was possessed and controlled by another person's spirit.
He of course didn't dare tell Andrew what was in his mind at that moment.
Andrew couldn't understand what was happening with Johnny.
After he was given the investigation results, he quickly pulled a long face and started studying them, giving off a strong aura of coldness.
Johnny was beside him, and he could definitely feel his uneasiness due to the aura he was giving off.
While looking at the report, Andrew couldn't help but be impressed. The work Johnny gave him was solid. Working with Johnny for a long time now, he knew that he would surely carry out a thorough investigation and get real and detailed information without making a mistake.
When Andrew reached the part of the document that revealed that Lena asked Ashley and Mr. Chen to go to the Harkim on the same day with the intention of letting Mr. Chen sexually assault Ashley, his hands shook.
He was livid. 'So if I didn't stay at the Harkim and didn't meet Ashley, Lena could have been successful, '
he thought, anger burning in his chest. Although nothing unpleasant happened to Ashley in the end, Andrew couldn't help but be indignant.
He couldn't imagine what would have happened to Ashley if he wasn't there that evening.
With resentment simmering in his insides, he started to hold a grudge against the Mu Group, the Mu family and Lena, who was so cruel to Ashley.
'Well, since the Mu family had the audacity to try and harm Ashley, I guess it's just to get back at them.' The anger in him was approaching its limit.
"Two days, Johnny. I want the Mu Group destroyed in two days. I want them gone, without any trace that they even exist."
Johnny was still in disbelief over finding romantic novels in Andrew's office when Andrew's cold, angry voice snapped him back to reality.
Stunned, he turned to Andrew. It was the first time that he had heard his boss sound like this. It was also the first time that Andrew had decided to destroy a company because of a woman.
But then, considering the things that the Mu family did to Ashley, he understood what Andrew was feeling and sympathized with his decision.
"Okay, Mr. Lu," he said, his eyes averting Andrew's stare. He started getting ready to get out of the office and take the Mu Group down. While that was what he was really intending to do, he was also in a rush to get out of the office because he was afraid that if he stayed there longer after finding out Andrew's secret, he would be at the receiving end of Andrew's fury.
'And no one wants that, ' he said to himself.
