"Not necessarily."
Looking him straight in the eye, Autumn sneered, "My husband is more mature and well-rounded than you. You're nothing compared to him. Have you even looked at yourself? There's nothing you could be proud of."
Hearing Autumn's words left Roger baffled.
He realized he had been too confident all along.
And now he was going to meet his inevitable end.
"As for the other points you confidently raised, I found nothing that can change my mind. Betraying my husband is the last thing that I would ever want to do, " Autumn said, relentlessly undermining Roger.
After all of what had been said, Roger felt like a fool by Autumn's words.
"You need to wake up, Roger.
Even if Rachel has a stellar career, she is a substandard play-writer, " she continued further.
"I don't understand what you mean, " Roger said, pretending to be confused.
He felt more uneasy at the mention of Rachel. He wondered how Autumn came to know about their relationship. But he had no choice but to deny it at all cause.
"Don't you know about Rachel?" Autumn asked, pouncing another question to Roger with full confidence.
"Rachel is easily one of the most powerful personalities in the world of show business!"
"I am well-aware of that.
But it's actually the other way around, " he said in response.
On that point, Roger already wanted to leave. "Miss Zhao, I think I should go now. This conversation isn't going anywhere and I am clearly taking away a lot of your time, " he said.
"But if you find yourself at the other end of the fence, feel free to reach out to me, " said Roger, giving his parting words.
"Wait! Give me more time, " Autumn called, stopping Roger in his tracks.
"I actually have something important to discuss with you."
She assisted Roger to go back to his seat and heartlessly said, "I can remove the quarrel between Rachel and you because you decline any knowledge of her. However...
I want another agreement to make."
"And that is?"
Remorse ran over Roger now as he looked at her with intuition after discovering Autumn's strength and power, gambling to play her game.
"You don't have to worry about anything as you will be rewarded well if you decide to engage into the service because I have my husband to render whatever you like. Now, let me ask you.
