Mr. Powell Is Hunting for His Wife novel Chapter 9

Diana’s limpid and pretty eyes were gleaming with confidence. Only she could make the perfume Mr. and Mrs. Hill liked, and only she could encourage the collaboration between the Powell’s and Mr. and Mrs. Hill. The feeling of not being able to gain control of something inexplicably made Brooklyn a little unhappy.

He leaned back listlessly to his comfortable chair and examined her up and down who was placing her hands on the desk with his dark eyes. The faint smell which could not be denied was invading all his nerves. He frowned and seemed to want to get rid of that feeling. “Why are you so confident? To date, those who guaranteed that they’ll succeed had all failed. For those who bluff in front of me and can’t fulfill their promise…”

He purposefully did not finish his sentence and let out a meaningful smile. “…it’s not just getting fired that easy. For a waste who’s wasted my precious time and did not manage to do anything in the end, I’ll make him pay the price.” His words were full of warning purpose.

Diana seemed to not get his warning, or it could be she had extraordinary confidence. She let out a smile and looked at him with her eyes that could speak. She then spoke, “Don’t worry, Mr. Powell. You will be happy of my outcome. If I don’t manage to encourage your collaboration with Mr. and Mrs. Hill, I’ll work for the Powell’s for free for the rest of my life, making perfume for the company free of charge, how does that sound? This bet is not small huh?”

After finished, she inhaled softly and clenched her fists when he did not notice. The bet she made this time was too big. If she failed, she would forever work for Brooklyn for free. She could not fail, she must succeed. Brooklyn’s eyes slightly gleamed. After being silent for a few seconds, he rumbled, “For what are you risking this?” He doubted Diana was a diehard good person and did not ask for anything in return.

Diana pursed her lips, she certainly could not tell him her plan to take vengeance on Mirabelle. Rumor said he and Mirabelle was going to get married soon and their relationship now must have been excellent. If she wanted to take revenge on Mirabelle and seized back everything from her, she had to take down Brooklyn first. She quickly adjusted her mind and spoke with an alluring voice she did not notice, “What if I say I did all those for you?”

The faint fragrance from her once again invaded Brooklyn’s nose with her every movement. Just like yesterday, after she left, he felt a rush of tiredness and fell asleep shortly. Staring at the seductive woman before him, he sneered. “You don’t even know how to breathe when kissing. You should train yourself more if you want to seduce me.”

…

Harper came over to hand Brooklyn the documents, and he encountered Diana leaving Brooklyn’s office with an unhappy look. What had happened between Mr. Powell and Miss Miller? Miss Miller also looked like that when she left Mr. Powell’s office yesterday. He pushed the door open and said, “Mr. Powell, I’m here to give you the financial report this season.”

Brooklyn still looked the same. He was marking the report with a level look and did not even look up for a second. “Put it there,” he ordered curtly. Harper was baffled. It looked like Mr. Powell did not get angry, then why was Miss Miller looking furious when she left the office?

Diana thought she had a good mindset and it was rare for someone to provoke her. However, Brooklyn was able to make her lose her temper every time, just like what happened yesterday and today. Who on earth would want to seduce him! She only wanted to take revenge on Mirabelle for god’s sake.
