2 Chapter 2 This is the Style He Likes

"..."

Evelyn Sherman stared in shock as he threw the handkerchief that had wiped his hands into the trash bin without mercy and left the room.

"Bang——"

The loud slam of the door was like a slap in her face.

She sat there, her body limp, and her head hung in despair.

It had been four years, to be exact, one thousand four hundred and sixty-seven days.

During these four years, she had imagined many reunion scenarios with him, but she had never thought that one day, she would appear in front of him like this.

Evelyn Sherman was dazed for a long time before she could gather herself from what he had just said.

It took her a while to answer her ringing cellphone in her bag.

"Evelyn Sherman, are you insane for money? Signing two contracts for one script, and even signing it with Yale Group, offending Mr. Chester, you're waiting to go to jail!"

On the other end of the phone, the woman's mocking voice was exceptionally sharp, filled with the delight of watching a good show.

Evelyn frowned and hung up the phone.

Sitting on the bed alone, her mind kept flashing back to the words she had just heard.

She was just a little scriptwriter who had recently signed her new script with the Yale Group. Who knew that she had made a mistake in the signing process and ended up signing a script she had already signed a few years ago for a second time?

This, in turn, constituted a serious breach of contract and infringement.

If she couldn't get the contract back, she might really go to jail...

No, she couldn't go to jail!

Evelyn Sherman quickly rolled out of bed, picked up her clothes and put them on, grabbed her bag, and rushed out of the hotel, hailing a taxi.

"Take me to the Yale Group Headquarters!"

-

Grande City's financial center.

The most luxurious skyscraper on the valuable land had just been completed, and it was immediately acquired by the mysterious tycoons of the Yale Group, looking proudly over Grande City.

Evelyn Sherman got out of the taxi and, without admiring the view, rushed into the building.

After explaining her reason for coming to the receptionist secretary, she stood there anxiously waiting.

"Miss Sherman, the CEO is in a meeting. He wants you to go upstairs and wait for a while." The receptionist secretary hung up the phone and looked up.

"..."

Evelyn Sherman, who had expected to be rejected, was shocked to hear this, thinking she had heard it wrong.

She hesitated, then stepped towards the CEO's exclusive elevator, her heart filled with trepidation.

He had left the hotel this morning with such a terrible attitude, and she had thought he wouldn't listen to her.

But now, he was actually willing to let her come upstairs. Did that mean he didn't hate her as much as she thought? Would he give her the contract back?

"Ding——" The elevator arrived.

A wave of luxurious and noble air hit her face, causing Evelyn Sherman to gasp.

The CEO-exclusive floor was very quiet, and no one was allowed to enter. Therefore, at this moment, there was not a single person in the entire corridor.

Evelyn Sherman lowered her head and took two steps forward, arriving at the door of the CEO's Office.

She took a nervous deep breath, then knocked on the room door.

She waited for more than ten seconds, but no one responded.

Had he not returned from the meeting yet?

Evelyn Sherman knocked harder on the door, and suddenly, the room door cracked open.

Was someone coming to open the door?

Evelyn Sherman stretched her neck to see inside, but there was not a single person, and the empty office, with its black and white decorative style, exuded a sense of elegance and grandiosity.

Sunlight streamed in through the windows, casting a noble glow on the luxurious office desk.
