The Returning Heir from the Darkness

General Manager

Damian was sitting in his office when his phone rang. It was a call from his sweet little wife. Without making the woman wait for long, Damian immediately grabbed his phone to answer the call. "What's wrong, Lynne?"

"Damian, I've had a little chat with my family. They said that I definitely won't get the contract, isn't that annoying?" Lynne began to complain, her soft voice sounded so sweet to Damian's ears.

The man chuckled, he put down the file in his hand casually. "Honey, I believe in you, you can do it."

"Uh, you're right! I'll trust my husband." Lynne's laughter began to be heard from Damian's phone, making the man smile.

"So, what time will you be back?"

"Oh, I forgot to mention, I made an appointment with the Imperial Sage Group, they said that I have to come today at 11. Can you take me? You can order a taxi," Lynne asked from the other end of the phone. "There are no taxis near the Esperanza mansion, it's so annoying."

"Okay honey, I'll be right there. There's still enough time to go to Imperial Sage, so you don't have to rush." Damian immediately got up, he glanced at Rolan who was sitting in the corner of the room, typing something on his laptop.

The aide immediately nodded obediently, closed the laptop and rushed out of the room.

In less than 15 minutes Damian immediately arrived at the gate of Esperanza's mansion. There he could see Lynne standing under the hot sun. The woman was sweating all over her face and inevitably made Damian worried. "You should take shelter first. Who knew the sun would be hot in the rainy season like this?"

"I'm just too nervous." Lynne squeezed her husband's fingers tightly. Her body was shaking slightly and her lips were pale. "What if I mess it up?"

"How could that be? My wife is the best. It's just a small interview, it won't be a big deal." Damian chuckled, he hugged Lynne's shoulders to calm her down.

"Oh by the way, you rented a car again? Isn't that too wasteful? What if you run out of money?" Lynne moved gently, pinching her husband's thigh lightly. "Forget it, I will make a lot of money so that my handsome husband can live well."

"Look how my little bunny has become so good." Damian chuckled, pinching his wife's cheek fondly.

"Damian, did you know? Old Master Sterling died last night," his wife suddenly said excitedly. "They said a man dressed as the angel of death came to Old Master Sterling's birthday party and killed him! Isn't that terrible? What if the killer suddenly came and killed me?"

Hearing his wife's words, Damian was silent for a moment, but the man immediately chuckled shortly after. "Don't worry, honey, everything will be fine, your husband is here to protect you from anything in the future."

"Yes, I will rely on my big and strong husband!"

The car drove smoothly on the fairly busy road. Luckily they still had plenty of time so when they arrived at the Imperial Sage Group building, it was still not 11 o'clock.

Lynne nervously got out of the car, Damian immediately followed, accompanying his wife so that the woman's nervousness would be reduced.

When the two arrived at the lobby, a woman with heavy makeup and a pungent perfume immediately approached Lynne. "You're here!"

"Long time no see, Sophie!"

Sophie smiled, she took Lynne's arm intimately. "Hey, I knew you'd be very beautiful without that scar."

"You're complimenting too much." Lynne smiled awkwardly. Sophie was her friend from high school, but the two were not that close, at least just acquaintances and friends who worked together a few times.

Sophie took Lynne to sit on one of the benches in the office lobby. Damian had no intention of interfering, the man sat not far from the two of them.

"Hey Lynne," Sophie called.

Lynne turned her head in confusion. She asked, "What's wrong?"

"Our general manager is so handsome! You'll definitely enjoy working under him," Sophie said excitedly. "Do you want me to give you his contact?"

Lynne frowned, but the woman still smiled awkwardly, shaking her head in response. "No need, why would I get his contact information? I don't even work here yet."

"Hey, you know what? You can easily work here." Sophie whispered, moving closer to Lynne. "As long as you sleep with the general manager, everything will be fine, what do you think? He's not an old fart with a big belly. He's just a handsome mature man."

"What?" Lynne was stunned, but soon the woman snorted angrily, pushing Sophie's body away from her. "Sophie, don't you know that I'm married? Even my husband is behind us, why are you saying such disgusting things?"

"Come on Lynne, why are you so naive? A naive girl like you is so pathetic. Isn't it common to sleep with a coworker?" Sophie grinned, she patted Lynne's shoulder a few times then turned to Damian. She took the time to give the man a scornful look. "I have to go take care of your interview, wait here and think about it."

With that, Sophie immediately got up, entered the elevator and left the lobby.

On the other hand, Damian could hear their entire conversation. The man moved closer, rubbing his wife's shoulder gently. "Don't think about it okay? Everything will be fine."

"How could he suggest such a mean thing to me?" The woman almost cried.

Damian smiled, patting his little wife's head. "Everything will be fine. How about we meet the chairman of Imperial Sage Group? Maybe he can help you with the interview."

"Is that possible? Isn't he a busy person?"

Before Damian could answer, Sophie's voice calling Lynne was heard again. "This is the general manager I mentioned. Isn't he handsome? He is definitely different from what you imagined. You don't need to worry."

Lynne was silent, staring at the figure of the man who came with Sophie. The man was thin, his height probably only reached Damian's jaw, and his face was not as handsome as Damian's. Lynne made that assessment in her heart. The woman shook her head. "I still disagree, Sophie. I'm married."

"Come on Lynne, you know? I also entered this company the same way. It really helps." Sophie moved to sit beside Lynne. "Let's make a reciprocal relationship. I've shown your photo to the general manager before, he said that you are very beautiful."

"Yes?" Lynne still frowned in confusion. "So?"

"Sleep with the manager, you will definitely get a good position when the general manager likes you," Sophie answered excitedly. "This is a reciprocal relationship, you will get a position in the Imperial Sage Group and I will get a promotion soon if you are willing to sleep with him."

"What?" Lynne was silent again, she looked at Sophie with disbelief. "How can you sell me?"

"This is a mutual relationship Lynne!" Sophie was still smiling, she even shifted her seat, inviting the general manager to sit beside Lynne.

"You look even more beautiful than in the photo." The general manager smiled, he even moved closer, starting to rub Lynne's shoulder.

"Uh yes, thank you." With an uncomfortable movement, the woman shifted, immediately sticking to her husband.

Damian frowned, staring sharply at the general manager's figure. He then turned to Rolan who had been lurking. Giving a code to the aide. Immediately, Rolan nodded obediently, walking away towards the elevator.

On the other hand, the general manager was still carrying out his actions, trying to touch Lynne's thigh but the woman immediately avoided him. Seeing the scene, the veins on Damian's forehead became even more tense. Only God knew how the man tried to restrain himself from strangling the damn man to death.

"Can you move away a little? I feel uncomfortable." Lynne said softly.

"Hey, it turns out you're so shy." The general manager smiled flirtatiously. "How about we go to a hotel nearby to chat? I'll give you thirty million dollars in pocket money."

"No, no need."

"How about fifty million dollars? Isn't that tempting enough?"
