Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, on the top floor of the Shen Group building, a tall, muscular man leaned gracefully in his chair, casually drumming his fingers on the table as he listened to his assistant's report. The gloomy sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window added to his mysterious aura.
"After the postponement of land development in the East District, many small companies that invested have suffered losses. Among these, the Shao Group, which went bankrupt, has been acquired by our company..."
"Shao Group?" he repeated as something occurred to him.
The assistant nodded slightly and was about to continue when suddenly the phone rang. She answered it. "Hello, this is the CEO's office of the Shen Group. What can I do for you?"
"Hello, there is a problem..." The man paused nervously, and then continued, "A lady called Charlotte wants to file a complaint against Mr. Shen."
The assistant's hand trembled and she couldn't breathe. She glanced at Oliver cautiously as his piercing eyes bored into her.
"What's the matter?" Oliver asked shortly.
The assistant lowered her head and relayed the message.
"Charlotte." Oliver allowed the name to wash over him. His eyes lit up and he smiled playfully. "Go get the car. I need to go out."
"Yes, sir!"
About thirty minutes later, a posh Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the police station.
Oliver stepped out of the car with the grace of a panther. His well-tailored suit accentuated his Greek-God body. He looked noble and powerful at the same time. His eyes and movements oozed contempt for all living beings.
Oliver strolled into the police station with a large group of people following him. Charlotte looked at them in confusion and surprise. She was a little intimidated to see so many people with him. She stared at Oliver, and guessed his plan, but didn't dare to voice it.
He walked in, and, as he passed Charlotte, he lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "You did a good job yesterday. Why don't we do it again sometime soon?"
His deep and sensuous voice penetrated Charlotte's soul, and immediately last night's events replayed in her mind.
She was so ashamed and angry that her face turned red. Now she was sure of his identity, and she glared at him fiercely.
