Realizing what he was thinking, Douglas withdrew his gaze, leaned back on the seat, then looked at Martha, saying coldly, "Tell me what's going on? What do you want to do? Why did you make yourself ugly?"
Douglas' tone was very unfriendly, full of danger, and it could even be said that he might scare people as hell.
Martha had a guilty conscience, but seeing Douglas really angry now, she really faltered.
Biting her lips lightly, Martha said, "It's my fault. Believe me. I don't have any intention of bringing harm to the company or jeopardizing your interests."
Martha was really worried that Douglas would take her as some kind of corporate spy.
Just thinking about it made her feel a little uneasy.
Douglas listened to her explanation, but instead became even more convinced subconsciously.
"Didn't jeopardize my interests?" Douglas snorted lightly, "You make yourself ugly to hurt my eyes. Won't it be considered as jeopardizing my interests?"
Martha looked at Douglas in shock. It was hard to believe that it was him who said those words.
In the past seven years, Martha had known Douglas was sharp-tongued, and was shocked that why the words from his mouth can become sharper every day?
But there had never been a moment that had shocked Martha so much.
Because, it seemed that Douglas' spiteful remark had not been for her, this was the first time.
In addition, no matter how malicious Douglas was before, he had never used it on a woman's appearance, so Martha was really astonished when she heard Douglas say that about her.
She wanted to talk back, but didn't have the ability.
After all, she hid her true face first, and no matter what, it was her fault.
However, Martha couldn't help muttering in a low voice, "I'm not ugly."
Even if she used darker foundation, her facial features were pretty good. No matter how ugly she was, it wasn't as exaggerated as Douglas said, right?
How did it hurt his eyes?
He was the one who had visual impact on people.
Although Martha said this very quietly, Douglas still heard it clearly.
Douglas sneered and said, "Are you not convinced?"
Martha immediately faltered again, shook her head vigorously, and said, "You are the boss. Everything you said is right."
She was like a doormat when she said so, as if she was being bullied by Douglas.
Douglas was very helpless. He didn't say anything excessive, so why did she lose her temper?
Martha took a deep breath, and said to worsen the situation, "Anyway, I have my own reasons for doing this. If you don't believe it, forget it. Anyway, I didn't hurt you."
When Douglas heard this, he became even more angry. This woman was going to be against him on purpose, wasn't she?
Martha didn't want to continue this topic with him, so she walked over to get the cleanser and said, "I'll use your bathroom."
After speaking, regardless of whether Douglas agreed or not, she took the facial cleanser and went into the bathroom.
Douglas leaned back on the seat, not moving, but thoughtful.
Indeed, aside from Martha making herself ugly, in other respects, Martha did not do anything to hurt him, whether it was for him as a person or for the company.
