Good boy, buy yourself a candy

After telling Purple everything she needed to do, Shera changed too. She was going to meet Mr. White. She wanted to see just what kind of metal he was made of that gave him the balls to cause such a ruckus in CT Corporation.

Since Purple was on an errand, she let Ash drive her to Ballad Hotel.

As soon as she entered the hotel, she came face to face with one of the people she was not expecting.

"Look what the wild wind blew in. I wasn't expecting to see you here. What a coincidence Miss Black… or are you here as President Turner?" Leo mocked sarcastically when he saw her.

"Oh, President Qin, is this hotel your property? I didn't know I was intruding your territory, your majesty." She returned the same sarcasm right at him.

"It's rude to fight along the corridors of hotels. Why don't we move to a better place? Then we can fight to our hearts' content." He suggested in all seriousness.

"I suggest you get your brain checked, Mr. Qin." Dismissing him, she went to the meeting room.

Behind her, Leo guffawed sarcastically, mocking his own family in his heart. 'The Qins are definitely stupid. Shera is playing all of you like fiddles and you don't even know it.'

However, that was none of his business so he didn't care to warn them. If anything, he so badly wanted them to be destroyed already. That was why he had readily run the errand they sent him to, and readily entered the very trap he knew Shera had woven for The Qin Empire

…

As soon as Shera walked into the meeting room, Mr. White scrutinized her with a sneer and started a string of insults. "You are one minute late. How can I tolerate such tardiness? You are also utterly disrespectful with your dress code. Look at what you are wearing. Do you think you are presentable? I would never collaborate with you! In case you didn't know, I have just signed the deal with The Qin Empire. I will not change my mind no matter what terms you offer."

Shera rested a hand at the back of a chair, not even bothering to sit. "Are you done, Mr. Parrot White? Oops, sorry, it's Patrick White. But I think Parrot suits you better."

"You!" The man was furious. How dare this woman?!

She didn't give him the chance to say more. "Mr. White, you are terribly mistaken. Who said I'm here to convince you to change your mind? Oh don't flatter yourself… I'm only here to make fun of you." She took out a coin from her purse and slapped it onto the table in front of him. "You were such a good boy when you were my pawn. Here, go buy yourself a candy."

"What's the meaning of this?" Mr. White was pale with anger.

Shera pulled the chair and sat on it leisurely. "Did you really think I wanted one of those brain-dead, fake, high and mighty models from your company, who know nothing but overestimate their nonexistent beauty? Of course not. Even Purple is much prettier than them, tsk." It was only that Purple couldn't attract any attention right now.

"I only sought you to bait the Qin family and voila! I won. For the record, I do not collaborate with people who are greedy and full of themselves.

As for your models, heh. They would only make the quality of my jewelry brand deteriorate."

Shera stood up immediately and left, leaving behind an extremely furious Mr. White. She could even hear the clutter as he broke a glass as soon as she was out of the room.

Her lips revealed a wicked smile. That was so easy that she had not even used any effort.

She had made Mr. White think she was going to use a model from White Modelling Agency to advertise CT Corporation's new Jewelry line.

When in real sense, she had akready secretly signed the deal with CEO Blake of Chiq Entertainment. Knowing that the Qins were finding a way to rival her, she had used Mr. White to distract them and indeed, they stupidly took the bait. How stupid. Even after playing them for months, didn't they ever learn? Was it because they were at their weakest moment right now? How boring.

___

Singles Bar.

It was just as Shera had said. As soon as Purple arrived, she was recieved by a voluptuous woman who introduced herself as Vivette.

She took a deep breath and sat in the spot where Vivette showed her.

It didn't even take a minute before Cedric noticed her. Within five minutes, he had already sent one of his bodyguards to send her to him. Typical of a casanova.

Remembering Shera's instruction, she ignored the bodyguard like she had not heard him.

"Miss, my boss wants to have a word with you." The bodyguard repeated his message.

Purple did not even bat an eyelid. "Tell him that I do not want to speak to him."

When the bodyguard relayed the message, Cedric Qin was furious. How dare a woman reject him? She wasn't even that pretty, and she was dressed like a holy Mary in a club!
