Harlow left in humiliation, wishing she could skin and torture Lachlan. She thought she had him wrapped around her finger, but it turned out he was playing her all along.
"Harlow, how did it go?" Romeo eagerly asked when she returned to the cafeteria.
Suppressing her annoyance, Harlow didn't tell her father about her failed attempt to seduce Lachlan and being made a fool of. Instead, she coldly replied with a smirk, "Don't worry, Dad. He won't suspect a thing. Let's activate the bomb and get out of here."
Romeo nodded in agreement, "Alright."
On the other side, after Lachlan drove Harlow away, he soon noticed that the timed bomb inside the belly of the ornament had unexpectedly activated.
With his eyes infused with dragon energy, he could see that there was a little over an hour left until the bomb exploded. Earlier, Romeo and Harlow had set the time a bit longer for added safety. They might stay for dinner, so it made sense to detonate the bomb after they left.
This way, it would eliminate suspicion and prevent any accidental harm to them. After all, Saber had mentioned that although the bomb was small in size, its destructive power was terrifying. It seemed to be a condensed liquid explosive, quite sophisticated.
Lachlan was in no hurry. After a cold laugh, he left the office building. As he came out, he happened to see Romeo's Audi Q7 leaving. At this moment, in the car, Romeo and Harlow also spotted Lachlan.
Seeing his carefree and nonchalant demeanor, they instantly let go of their worries. Just by looking at this guy, they were sure he hadn't discovered anything.
"Lachlan, wait for your death! It would be perfect if you and Miranda finish your meal and return to the office building. Then, everything, including the building and the people inside, will be blown up!" Harlow gritted her teeth.
"Yes! If we can blow up this guy along with it, that would be too perfect!" Romeo grinned, showing a cruel and anticipatory expression.
Meanwhile, back in the cafeteria, Lachlan called Miranda aside after she had been dining with the employees.
"What's up? Also, what were you up to just now?" The goddess CEO stared at Lachlan suspiciously. The company's core members, including Mason, had called out to toast this guy, only to find him missing.
"Oh, just went to check the gifts received today. Hehe..." Lachlan chuckled and said.
Hearing this, Miranda exclaimed, "Huh?" and gave this scoundrel a speechless look. "Never mind," she added, shaking her head in exasperation.
Lachlan touched his nose awkwardly. "Let's not talk about that. I want to ask you, do you know where Romeo's Lowe Light Pharmaceutical company is located?"
Miranda nodded. "Yes, I do! It's in the southern suburbs, quite far from the city center. It takes about half an hour to drive from here."
"Oh, half an hour, huh? No rush then, let's eat a little longer."
Lachlan responded with a meaningful smile and then returned to the dining table to enjoy the food and drinks.
Half an hour later...
General Manager's office of Lowe Light Pharmaceutical company.
Harlow and her father returned, finding Samuel and Saber waiting for them. Samuel calmly sipped his tea, while Saber unexpectedly had a woman in his arms.
