After pressing the button for the elevator door to close, Daniella noticed Scott looking at their direction.
When her eyes followed to where he was staring, she could not help but smile.
"Are you dating someone Jenna?" she asked the woman as the elevator move up.
Jenna blinked and turned her head to Daniella. She shook it lightly with confusion forming on her face, "why?"
Daniella shrugged, "nothing. Anyway, I asked Scott to give you a tour around the city," she turned while flashing her casual no smiling face, "is it fine?"
Jenna was taken aback by Daniella's words, as she withdrew her eyes from staring at her dumbfoundedly, she nodded, "it's fine. The work you've given to me was too stressful. I need a release."
The door of the elevator opened, as the two walked out, Daniella parted her lips to speak, "actually, I recently found out that s.e.x is a good way to release your stress. I can ask Scott if you need one."
Jenna's footsteps frost upon hearing it while a shock crept across her face.
"you're crazy!" that's all she could say with her face reading like a tomato after a long moment of silence.
Daniella winked at her teasingly.
"You must be Jenna Marcus."
A voice interrupted Daniella from teasing Jenna.
There, they found a blue-suited middle-aged man with glasses on and hair combed neatly on the side.
"And you must be Ms. Marcus Assistant, I am Mr. Dux assistant," saying that, the man stretched a hand.
Daniella stared at it with a flat face.
"I am Daniella Chen, the owner of the Lumax and this is Jenna, my COO."
Daniella blinked while the man in front of her had turned statue in shock.
"I didn't-," he started stuttering while the sweat formed on his forehead despite the coldness in the office.
"We didn't know that the CEO will be here," he continued as he got himself back.
Daniella smiled at him, it was wide and sweet showing her dimples, "no worries. This is very important to me so, shall we go?"
The man nodded but his body remained stiffed staring at Daniella's smiling face.
"My boss time is precious, can we go?" Jenna said coldly.
The man nodded and lead the way, as they strode to the boss office, Daniella noticed the similarity of the office to Evan's. It was as if it was designed by the same architecture though the atmosphere was full of tension, people sitting on the tables had frowned on their faces, and exhaustion was painted on it as if they have been working for years without any sleep, unlike Evans where she could hear the employee laughing and chatting lively.
They halted in front of the white thick door with a sign CEO OFFICE hanging on it.
The assistant knocked twice and then a voice of what seemed to be a man in his fifties said to come in.
And so, they did, and Daniella's first move was to look around.
The office was painted in white, with the glass wall it became brighter and wider.
There was a man, looking so serious sitting on the swivel chair behind the desk with a card CEO John Dux while three men were sitting on the leather black sofa, fully suited and had the same frown as the employee outside.
"Those three are the members of the board," Jenna whispered.
Daniella noticed a young woman standing next to the desk of the CEO. She had a light make up on, blonde short curly hair and a shy look.
Daniella squinted her eyes when she noticed the kiss marks on the woman's neck. When she shifted her sight to the CEO she found the lipstick smudged on the CEO's mouth.
She scoffed bitterly and with confidence, she walked towards the CEO desk.
Without greeting him, Daniella took two folders she prepared last night and dropped it to the table.
"This," she forwarded one folder, "is the new policy I made for this company."
Without letting him speak, she forwarded the other, "this is the doc.u.ments you need to sign to transfer the full ownership to me."
Jenna who was standing next to the assistant blinked in puzzlement. Daniella has never mentioned anything about buying the Island Bank and she doubted if Lumax could afford it.
A loud bang sounded when the CEO pumped both fists on the table. Leaning forward to Daniella, anger flashed on his face.
"Who the hell are you? Do you know who I am?"
Daniella was not even startled by the loudness of his roar, unlike the blonde woman who was now shaking in fear.
"Yes, I know who you are. Multiple s.e.x.u.a.l assaults to your female employees, beating up your wife, corruption and don't let me start by naming the people you had killed."
Instead of fear, the man smirked.
His hand lifted and gripped her chin.
"Hmm… your lips, how much shit does these lips had suck?" after saying that maniacally, the man chuckled.
Daniella smiled, "these lips do more than suck," and her smile disappeared, "let's do this business without shedding blood alright" she slapped his hand from holding her chin.
Flashing an intense look, she continued, "I have all the evidence so you can either save your family's reputation by giving me your company or," and turned to the board member anxiously sitting on the couch.
"Or I will take all the evidence I have to the police and let them investigate it, and I am certain that with all the files I have and my power, there won't be any investigation."
The anger burning in the CEO's face ignited, "are you blackmailing me?" hands on the table balled into fists as he suppressed himself from punching the overconfident woman in front of him.
Daniella rose a brow, "so, you are admitting that what I said were all true," she sighed, "well, I know that they are true. I have evidence and witnesses."
"What is she talking about?" finally, one of the board members spoke.
Daniella looked sideways and found the three murmurings, "1 hour," she said as she turned her sight back to the CEO, "after that, I want your assistant to bring the signed doc.u.ment at the coffee shop in the lobby."
