Chapter 946 The President's Fiancee

Selene stormed back to the company, and the first thing she did was find Rylan and demand that he withdraw the investment in the lab.

Catherine was so arrogant that she needed to be taught a lesson.

But all she got was a round of mockery from Rylan.

She gave Rylan a puzzled look, asking, "What's with that laugh? Are you also planning to stand for Catherine?"

"Stand for Catherine? Rylan raised his eyebrows and looked at her. "Do you know that Duncan Corporation is waiting for us to withdraw our investment? Guess how much we paid to qualify for this sponsorship? Do you really think that Catherine's lab is begging for sponsorship? As long as we withdraw our funding, even if the Duncan Corporation doesn't step in, there will be plenty of big companies waiting to throw money at them to sponsor their lab!"

Rare things were precious. Marshall's lab was not only a symbol of Styre University but also a hot commodity in many people's eyes. So many people were lining up with money in hand. 'Selene asked me to withdraw sponsorship. Isn't it a joke?' thought Rylan.

Selene looked at Rylan with confusion, finding it hard to understand what he was saying. When she was overseas, even the top laboratories had to pull out all the stops to please the sponsors. She never encountered someone as arrogant and overbearing as Catherine.

Seeing her look of disbelief, Rylan sneered disdainfully and said, "I suggest you take the time to get to know exactly what kind of person Catherine is. Once you understand how formidable she is, you'll realize that everything makes perfect sense."

Rylan was already the third person today who called her to understand the situation. Selene couldn't believe that she had just encountered such a big humiliation by starting her job.

She glared at Rylan dissatisfiedly and asked sternly, "Is being arrogant and overbearing considered reasonable?"

Failing to convince her, Rylan couldn't be bothered to talk to her more. "Do your job, don't forget the goal that your boss set for you. Alright, now get out of here!"

Having never been treated like this before, Selene was so angry that she felt like her lungs were about to explode.

She left Rylan's office in a bad mood, feeling more and more hatred toward Catherine.

She used just to hate this woman, thinking she didn't deserve to stand by Branden's side. But now, it was pretty clear that hating her was a must.

She had never experienced such humiliation in her career. It was all because of Catherine. She must get that revenge back.

Selene was getting more and more pissed off as she thought about it. She had completely lost interest in dealing with work now and was ready to kick off her revenge plan.

She walked back to the office, grabbed her small purse, and left the company.

Half an hour later, Selene showed up outside the Duncan Corporation building.

She passed the business card to the receptionist but was told by the receptionist that she couldn't meet their president without an appointment.

Selene looked at the receptionist expressionlessly and said, "Then tell Paxton that I care!

Her arrogant attitude made the front desk lady feel that she was not to be neglected, and she immediately made a phone call.

When Paxton received the news, he happened to run into Branden coming out of the meeting room, so he reported the situation to him.

Branden had a deadpan expression and spoke without any emotion. "Sent her in." "Yes, sir!" replied Paxton.

A few minutes later, the front desk got a message.

The front desk lady immediately said to Selene respectfully, "Miss Miller, the president asked you to go up. Please follow me!"

As Selene walked away, a few people at the front desk started whispering to each other.

This is the first time a woman has seen our president without an appointment."

"No, besides the president's fiancee, she is the first one."

"Is this the president's new girlfriend or what?"

Selene had pretty good listening. She wasn't walking particularly fast and caught every word of the conversation going on. A confident smile escaped her face.

They were right. She was gonna be the new Mrs. Duncan real soon. She had the confidence and the ability.

There was a knock on the office door. Branden didn't even bother to lift his head before

calling out.

After receiving the message, Paxton pushed open the door to invite Selene in. "Miss Miller, come in, please!"

Selene gave a polite smile and elegantly walked through the door.

Branden was still working; he didn't stop just because there were guests there.

They said a man who was focused was the most charming, and I totally agree with that," said Selene.

Branden was attracted by the soft voice, and he looked up at her. His cold gaze showed no extra emotions. "Do you need something?"

Wanna grab a meal together?" Selene tentatively asked and noticed a slight change in Branden's expression. She immediately stopped smiling and changed the subject. "Just kidding. I know work comes first for you. I'm here to discuss business with you don't get me

wrong!

After hearing the explanation, Branden's expression improved a bit.

They finally got down to business and had a long discussion.

After the work discussion ended, Selene smoothly suggested that she and Branden grab dinner together.

This was just standard procedure, nothing out of the ordinary. Normally, no one would refuse.

But Branden didn't let her have her way, refusing flatly, "No, it's a good time to go back and make dinner now."

After listening, Selene was so scared that her mouth was wide open. "You cooking dinner? Branden, are you sure you're not just joking around with me?"

She was starting to doubt if she was hearing things.

Branden looked at her with a serious face. "You know I'm not the kind of person who likes to

joke around.

"Can't find a chef that suits your taste? Do you want..." Selene knew how picky Branden was, and she was thinking about introducing him to a suitable chef.

But before she could finish speaking, Branden just debunked her guess. "My fiancée's stomach isn't good; the food I cook is better for her."This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Selene's smile froze on her face as soon as she heard the casual tone. She had never seen

such a gentle look in Branden's eyes.

But when he mentioned his fiancée just now, the look in his eyes was so rare and gentle.

Selene was pissed off and madly jealous. 'Why does everyone treat Catherine so well? For

what?'

Despite feeling a lot of dissatisfaction inside, Selene still managed to keep it in and didn't show it on her face. "Since that's the case, I won't bother you then. Let's hang out next time

when you're free!"

Coming out of the office, Selene still couldn't calm down her anger.

She was supposed to leave directly, but she didn't. Instead, she turned around and found

Paxton. "I didn't drive today, and it's hard to catch a cab to where I need to go. Can you

arrange for a ride for me?"

Anyway, Selene was the representative of the business partner. The requests she made were within a reasonable range, so Paxton had no reason to refuse. "Of course, Miss Miller,

please hold on a sec!"

Looking at the back of Paxton as he turned around to make a phone call, a victorious smile appeared on Selene's face.
