Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 684

“Mr. Damazio, someone is looking for you. They wanted to talk about a collaboration.”

“Did they make an appointment?” Slevin saw the look on his assistant and noticed something was off.

“What’s wrong?”

“They… are from Azure Corporation.”

Slevin’s face changed drastically. “I can’t believe it. They dared to come here. But kudos to them for holding out for four years.”

He stared at Elspeth who had a confused expression and gently urged her, “Why don’t you wait for me downstairs? Give me ten minutes. I’ll pick up Dami with you.”

Slevin gestured for ten minutes with his hands and Elspeth nodded. She knew he was busy with work and didn’t want to disturb him.

“Actually, I can go pick him up myself.”

“That won’t do. Dami said he wanted to see me. I have to be there.”

Left without a choice, Elspeth simply nodded. “Alright. I’ll wait for you downstairs.”

Then, Slevin smiled as he passed the car keys to her. “It’s quite hot today. Wait for me in the car.”

After she left, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

“Let’s go. Let’s see what they want.”

Slevin arrived at the reception room and was surprised to see Harper sitting on the couch. “Mr. Summerfield, what brought you here?”

Harper looked at him with suspicion.

“I don’t understand. Why did you suddenly decide to go abroad four years ago? Besides, you even turned me away for two whole years.”

Slevin poured him a cup of tea before saying in resignation, “Mr. Summerfield, I don’t understand why you refuse to leave me alone. I came here because my company is here. Should I have stayed in the country?”

“Then, why have you turned down all those appointments?” Harper felt that Slevin was doing something behind his back and there was a high chance it had something to do with Elspeth’s disappearance.

Slevin then sat down and leisurely crossed his legs with a nonchalant look on his face.

“How could you say that? It’s just that you’ve been making things difficult for me as you keep insisting on barging into my office. There are even rumors circulating in my company that I’m gay.”

Harper’s face darkened immediately. “I’m not interested!”

“Of course, I know that. But you can’t stop the mouths of the public. I can’t stop every rumor that goes around.” Slevin took a sip of the tea and discovered his tea-making skills had improved. He narrowed his eyes in satisfaction. “Well, I’m here now, aren’t I? Here’s your chance to talk things out. Tell me precisely what you are here for.”

Then, Harper took out a document from his bag and placed it on the table. “I’m not here to ask about Elspeth this time. I’m here for a collaboration.”

Slevin raised a brow. “When your boss was around, you guys refused to work with me. Now that she’s gone, you intend to go against her wishes? Aren’t you afraid that she will be upset?”

A hint of sadness flashed across Harper’s eyes at the mention of Elspeth.

He had never given up looking for her for the past four years. Unfortunately, there was no sign of her no matter where he looked.

It was as if she disappeared into thin air.

Regardless, Harper had a hunch that this had to do with Slevin. His gut was telling him that Slevin was definitely in on this.

“It’s okay. She won’t mind,” Harper said coldly.
