Kane's eyes twitched.
After a while, he lowered his head and nudged Amora’s head.
"What do you mean ‘nonsense’? This is good!"
"Huh?"
"What are you guys standing around for? Amora has already done all the brainstorming for you and you still don't know what to do?" he said in a disgusted tone, glaring around at the senior executives of the company who were still loitering in the office.
The senior executives immediately came to their senses.
Their presence was no longer welcome.
They picked up the plans spread out on the table and walked out of the office with their heads ducked in embarrassment.
Wow, Mrs.Ronin is really clever! What a smart woman! After the senior executives had all left, a quiet peace descended over the office.
Amora was still standing at the head of the table, looking rather embarrassed.
"Sebby, earlier..."
"Why don't you just come and work for the company? We've just recently gone through a volatile time and most of our departments are understaffed...
I think you're very suited to do investment planning; Kane blurted out suddenly.
He reached out a hand to gently tuck a stray strand of hair behind Amora's ears.
Amora was stunned into silence.
Work here? In this company? What about Rory Enterprise then? That's my own family's business.
I've never considered working here.
Wouldn't that be a bad idea? After all, I'm not just any other person; I'm his wife.
Amora fretted to herself.
That was the difference between Amora and those other women.
Back then, Hallie had always hoped to use her relationship with Kane to attain a position in the company.
Roxanne, too, had always wanted to join the company.
Amora was the only woman who was averse to becoming a part of the company.
"What's wrong? You don't want to work for the company? Amora, this is a family business.You're my wife; shouldn't you help lighten my burdens? Do you want to see me get overworked and exhausted?"
Kane saw the reluctance on Amora's face and pouted.His handsome face became gloomy and he pulled his hand away from her unhappily.
Amora was rendered speechless.Why is he acting like a child? His expression changed so quickly!
"No, no, that's not what I meant.Listen to me.It's not that I don't want to help you out in the company.I'm just afraid that my presence here would reflect badly on you.After all, I'm not just any other person; I'm your wife."
"What's wrong with you being my wife? Can't my wife work for me?"
Huh!
"Or are you unwilling to work under me? That's not a problem! I'll let you have my position in the company.I'm fine with that."
He's getting more and more outrageous! Amora thought secretly to herself.
In the end, Amora could not refuse him and she gave in to his request to join the company.
Little did she know that Kane had asked her to join the company because after he had hugged her, he could no longer smell the perfume.
He was happy as long as he did not smell it.
