The CEO's smirk faltered for a split second.
But he quickly recovered, leaning back again.
"Tough words, Miss Yu. But remember, I hold the keys to your future in this company. A single word from me, and—"
"—And what?" Yu Holea interrupted, her voice sharp as a blade. Her eyes bore into his with an intensity that made him falter again.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you? Do you think Bright Star is my only option? If you want to play games, I'll make sure you regret it."
The CEO's smile vanished completely. For a moment, the room was silent, the tension thick.
Finally, he cleared his throat, his expression turning neutral.
The CEO's expression remained cold as he stood from his chair, his tall frame casting a shadow over the room. He walked around the desk slowly, his sharp eyes never leaving Yu Holea.
Just as he was about to reach out to touch her, Yu Holea's instincts kicked in.
