I only saw Kieran took a step to avoid me, standing far away from me. I also saw that he watched me fall with his red eyes. Then, I had a blackout and didn't know anything.
When I opened my eyes, I saw the gray and black ceiling and simple chandelier. I was still dizzy and covered my head while getting up, only to find myself lying on the cold marble floor.
In front of me, Kieran was sitting on a soft chair, looking at me coldly. There were huge French windows behind him. The midday sunlight burst through the windows, forming a backlight that bathed Kieran. He was like an ancient vampire, existing in the sunlight.
"Mr. Charles!" I stood up excitedly and tried to explain.
"Stop!" Kieran suddenly ordered in a cold voice.
I had to stop and look at him. Kieran glanced at me and flicked his fingertips, "You're so dirty. Who allowed you to get so close to me!"
I looked at the distance between me and Kieran and hurriedly took a few steps back. I absolutely could not anger Kieran now. Otherwise, the contract would be canceled.
"Mr. Charles, I'm sorry!" I apologized with the most sincere attitude, "About the morning's appointment, I really did not mean to stand you up. I had something urgent. So, I was delayed!"
Kieran looked at me coldly, "What does it have to do with to me?"
Kieran's insensitive look made me speechless. But I couldn't give up, "Mr. Charles, I know it's my fault. I promise I'll never do it again. Please don't cancel the contract, please!"
I made the last attempt. Since Kieran had brought me back, it meant there was still a slim chance.
Kieran just stared at me coldly without saying anything. I felt nervous under his pressure. But I must hold on, "Mr. Charles, I promise that from now on, you will absolutely come first whatever happens. I will do anything you order without complaint!"
There was a cold silence in the office. I felt so nervous that I almost was out of breath. Kieran slowly spoke, "The contract will be canceled unless you can do one thing!"
"No problem. I'm willing to do anything!" I hastily agreed.
Kieran smiled contemptuously, "Do it first!"
I nodded and asked carefully, "What is it?"
I didn't know if it was my illusion. I seemed to see a flicker of playfulness in Kieran's eyes as he said, "I want you to buy CH under the name of Rich. I will give you a week to do it!"
Hearing this, I did not fully understand. Kieran should have told my confusion and faintly explained, "Rich is a luxury clothing brand under Universal Group. CH is a luxury jewelry brand. I want you to buy CH and merge the two brands!"
I understood what Kieran meant. But I had never been exposed to the business since I was little, let alone buying such a huge luxury brand. However, I had no choice but to promise, "I will buy CH!"
Kieran smiled, his blood-red eyes glittered with light, looking evil and arrogant, "Good luck!"
"What should I do?" in fact, I had no confidence at all. But I didn't have any choice.
"I appoint you as the head of Rich. You go and talk to them. The price is five hundred million. I won't even give you one more penny!"
"Five hundred million!" Kieran's words shocked me and I almost bit my tongue. I even had never gotten fifty thousand since I was a child. Now, Kieran asked me to buy the brand for five hundred million.
