Hooking President Sterling

She asked carefully, "Then... did you see my brother?"

"I did." Claire said with a sigh, "I didn't expect your brother to be pretty easy to talk to. He didn't blame me for finding someone to pretend to be him, and he even said he'd handle this matter properly."

"What?" Ruby's voice was full of shock.

She had thought her brother had been exposed, but the more she listened to Claire, the more it felt wrong. Was the person Claire was talking about really her brother?

"You really saw my brother?"

"Yeah." Claire continued, "Not only did I see him, I even talked with him quite a bit."

"..."

In those few short seconds, Ruby rapidly came up with countless possibilities. Maybe Julian Sterling had found someone to impersonate him, maybe Julian Sterling had managed to smooth things over, maybe...

In any case, the final conclusion was that Julian Sterling had not been exposed!

The tension Ruby had been holding instantly eased.

The two quickly returned to the main topic, and Ruby said, "This matter was already dealt with long ago, so there's no way it should've leaked out. Just now, a reporter friend of mine called me, and that's how I found out it was that woman Naomi Pierce secretly tipping people off..."

"Naomi Pierce?"

Even though there was no real suspense, Claire was still a little curious how Naomi Pierce had suddenly exposed this matter.

"Yeah. I'm guessing Naomi Pierce found out about it from who knows where. You made a scene at her engagement party, so now she wants to expose you."

Claire curled her lips into a cold smile. Naomi Pierce probably didn't know that she had already explained the matter clearly to President Sterling and had even obtained his forgiveness, so exposing it was useless.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "I don't think Naomi Pierce is going to let this go just like that. Keep an eye on what she does next for me."

"Okay," Ruby said.

...

At that moment, Luna Brooks was tailing other Sterling International employees into the company building.

Naomi Pierce wanted her to find Meng Lifen and go deliver the video together?

With such a heaven-sent opportunity, how could she possibly let someone else have it? Of course she was going to do it herself!

Not to mention that if this went well, she could return to Sterling International and keep working there. And if by some chance she caught President Sterling's eye, wouldn't that mean she'd soar up to the top and become a phoenix?

She had heard that President Sterling was exceptionally handsome, with limitless prospects, and that he still didn't have a girlfriend.

Luna Brooks had deliberately put on a tight ultra-short skirt that stopped above the knee, and on top she wore a fitted white blouse, the kind of fabric that could even show the pattern of the underwear underneath.

It looked like business attire, but there were plenty of little tricks hidden in it. She had to seize this chance and hook President Sterling!

Luna Brooks had once been an employee at Sterling International, and the front desk hadn't received word about her being fired, so when they saw a familiar face, they didn't stop her.

Seeing things go so smoothly, Luna Brooks secretly rejoiced.

She went straight up to the top floor in the elevator!

Unexpectedly, the moment she stepped out of the elevator, Marcus Reed stopped her.

Luna Brooks recognized Marcus Reed and hurriedly said, "Assistant Marcus, I have something extremely important to discuss with President Sterling. Could you please announce me for him?"

Marcus Reed looked at the woman in front of him swaying and posing flirtatiously, and his expression darkened heavily.

This was no important matter at all. She was obviously here to seduce Julian Sterling. He used to deal with ten women like this a day; he was long since used to it.

He saw through these little tactics and cheap tricks at a glance.

It was just that most people could never make it upstairs in the first place; they were stopped at Sterling International's entrance.

Marcus Reed sneered. "You think you can see President Sterling just because you want to?"

After saying that, he immediately called security and told them to come up and throw Luna Brooks out.

Luna Brooks had originally thought she would smoothly get to see President Sterling, then use her charm to mesmerize Julian Sterling. She hadn't expected to be thrown out just like that.

While security was dragging her out, she struggled with all her might.

"Assistant Marcus, I really do have something urgent to tell President Sterling. President Sterling's been deceived!"

"Someone is impersonating President Sterling and using his name to swindle people..."

Even so, she was still dragged out like a dead dog.

Luna Brooks was thrown straight out the doors of Sterling International. She sprawled on the ground in an awkward heap like a frog, the skin on her knees scraped raw, her hair in total disarray.

In the end, with no other choice, she could only pitifully call Naomi Pierce and tell her that her attempt had failed.

At the hospital.

Naomi Pierce furiously snapped, "Failed? Didn't it occur to you and Meng Lifen that one of you could distract whoever was watching while the other went in to see President Sterling? Are you pigs?"

"What? You went by yourself!"

Hearing Luna Brooks's words, Naomi Pierce was so angry her chest hurt.

She had told Luna Brooks to go together with Meng Lifen because she wanted them to help each other. She had never expected Luna Brooks to run off by herself.

What the hell was Luna Brooks doing!

Did she really think she could handle this all by herself?

Luna Brooks felt extremely guilty. She said softly, "Naomi, I didn't think seeing President Sterling would be that hard. Not only did Assistant Marcus stop me, he even had people throw me out. There was nothing I could do!"
