It wouldn't be unexpected from Valerie if she simply walked away from there out of her desire to not interact with Damien. However, a part of her wanted to stay and listen to what he had to say.

"CEO Valerie, it is nice to see you here," he expressed.

She nodded her head to that.

"I hope everything is going well with the business. After all, I hold great expectations when it comes to you. But the results recently sort of doesn't live up to the standards."

The corner of her lips twitched.

Would she have to deal with all that if he didn't purposefully make the matters difficult for her?

"Is that all?" she asked— her tone bored. "I am not here to discuss business, so please refrain from doing so. Any complaints you have about me, keep it in the office hours. There is no need to bring them here."

She heard the small chuckle that escaped from Lucian's mouth, and this made both of them shoot him a glance.
