Chapter 172<\/p>\n
As soon as Cherise walked out of the concert hall, she saw Crow Waiting for her across the street.<\/p>\n
She walked over and slipped into the car.<\/p>\n
Crow looked her over and said, \u201cBoss, you\u2019re really going to dres like this? That might not be the best idea. It shows a lot of<\/p>\n
skin.<\/p>\n
Tve heard that King\u2019s a lecherous, middle\u2013aged creep with a beer belly and a bald head. What if he takes a fancy to you won\u2019t let you leave?\u201d<\/p>\n
and<\/p>\n
Cherise gave him a sideways glance.<\/p>\n
Crow immediately fell silent, thinking. \u2018I forgot how good she is at fighting. There\u2019s no way she\u2019d be worried about King taking an interest in her. If he tried anything, she\u2019d have him down in a heartbeat.\u2018<\/p>\n
With a press of the gas pedal, the silver\u2013gray sports car zipped off<\/p>\n
In the Dean\u2019s office of the Chivers Group, Morris finished reviewing the last document and stood up.<\/p>\n
Leo already had the car ready and waiting downstairs.<\/p>\n
As Morris approached the office door, Steven entered and handed him a USB drive. \u201cMr. Chivers, the files are ready.\u201d Morris nodded and said, \u201cGood. Make multiple copies, encrypt them, and send one to Ms. Leach.<\/p>\n
Then deliver the USB directly to the supervisory authority and inform Mr. Weaver that the Dark Web Division will be handling the pre\u2013operation.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd you\u2019ll be presiding over the shareholders\u2018 meeting later. I\u2019m going to Ebb & Flow\u201d<\/p>\n
With that, he headed straight for the elevator.<\/p>\n
When Cherise and Crow arrived at Ebb & Flow, it wasn\u2019t dark yet<\/p>\n
Truman wasn\u2019t there today, but the Ebb & Flow staff all knew Cherise by now. They were aware that both their boss and Morris held her in high regard, so they eagerly came out to greet her.<\/p>\n
They noticed Crow by her side and were confused but didn\u2019t ask questions. Someone said, \u201cMs. Leach, welcome!\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise nodded. \u201cCould you get me a private room, a quieter one?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course. Right this way. The server led them to a VIP room on the second floor.<\/p>\n
Once inside, Crow took out his phone and texted someone on King\u2019s side: [VVIP room, second floor, Ebb & Flow ]<\/p>\n
The response came almost immediately. [Got it!]<\/p>\n
While stopped at a red light, Leo replied to the text and turned to Morris. \u201cMr. Chivers, they\u2019ve arrived at Ebb & Flow and are in a VVIP room on the second floor.<\/p>\n
Morris was resting with his eyes closed. He slowly opened them and simply said, \u201cAlright.\u201d<\/p>\n
Leo hesitated. \u201cDo you<\/p>\n
want me to check who\u2019s in the room first?\u201d<\/p>\n

Half an hour later, the Rolls Royce pulled up to Ebb & Flow<\/p>\n
The server, seeing the license plate, knew exactly who had arrived and ran our for Morris \u201cMr. Glivers, welcome!<\/p>\n
Morris gave a slight nod and walked in without a word, with Le following behind.<\/p>\n
The server watched as Morris strode away and murmured, \u201cHul Mr. Chivers and Ms. Leach both seem a bit serious today<\/p>\n
Inside the VVIP room on the second floor, Crow was lounging on the sofa, eating pistachios, while Cherise, sitting next to him, was going through the files on Felix and Mandy that Steve had sent over.<\/p>\n
Her expression was calm, though she occasionally frowned slightly.<\/p>\n
The next moment, there was a knock on the door. Crow dashed to open it while Cherise kept her eyes on her phone.<\/p>\n
As the door opened, Leo stood there and asked, \u201cWhy is it you?<\/p>\n
Crow looked confused. \u201cAnd you are\u2026? You seem familiar?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s me, Leona, from Lewis Chemical Plant,\u201d Leo said.<\/p>\n
Hearing the name, Crow awkwardly scratched his head.<\/p>\n
Cherise looked towards the door and was stunned to see Leo standing there.<\/p>\n
After a brief pause, her eyes widened as she thought, \u2018Could it be that Morris\u2026 is King?<\/p>\n
Just then, Morris stepped into the room and looked directly at Cherise.<\/p>\n
Cherise stared back, standing slowly. Their eyes met<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re King?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n
Morris nodded. \u201cAnd you\u2019re Darknight?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise nodded as well, recalling her suspicion when she first saw his rapid typing at the Chivers residence.<\/p>\n
Crow felt a<\/p>\n
chill under Cherise\u2019s intense stare.<\/p>\n
\u201cWh\u2013what\u2019s wrong, Boss?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise pointed to Morris. \u201cSo, this is the pot\u2013bellied, bald, lecherous middle\u2013aged creep you mentioned?\u201d After she finished speaking, she stared at Morris and asked, \u201cSo, how many of my orders have you rejected?\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris\u2019s heart sank. He realized he needed to find a way out of this.<\/p>\n
With a serious expression, he replied, \u201cLeo manages my account. I only found out about it later\u201d<\/p>\n
Leo\u2019s eyes widened in shock as he thought, \u2018What?! Why didn\u2019t I know about this?\u201d<\/p>\n
But he didn\u2019t deny it \u201cYes, Ms. Leach. Things have been hectic lately, and I forgot to inform Mr. Chivers. If I\u2019d known it was you, I would\u2019ve told him right away. No way would I have waited until now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise didn\u2019t respond, pursing her lips..<\/p>\n
She thought to herself, Morris is the boss: his assistants would have certainly kept him updated on everything right away!<\/p>\n

Morris noted her silence and was already thinking about how he\u2019d smooth things over and earn her forgiveness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-197","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/197","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=197"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
