Just then, someone knocked on the door.
Mr. Doman had been standing outside for a while. "Can I come in?"
Chen Zhao and Normans were already standing up, but their clothes were rumpled.
"Mr. Chen, how is your talk with Normans?"
"Very good. We had a very friendly exchange. I believe Normans will cooperate with my fitness plan."
Normans scoffed. She didn't refute him outright, but she'd decided not to cooperate.
Whatever Chen Zhao wanted her to do, she wouldn't do it.
Whatever Chen Zhao wasn't her to eat, she wouldn't do it either.
Chen Zhao looked back at Normans who was glaring at him, shooting daggers with her eyes.
"Mr. Chen, let's go talk in the living room."
"Sure."
As soon as Chen Zhao and Mr. Doman left, Normans settled back onto the tatami and shoved snacks into her mouth.
…
"Mr. Chen, you saw that Normans probably won't cooperate. What's your plan?"
