RedNovelChapter 535: The office door creaked open, drawing Connor's and Burnet's attention.
Connor's gaze was purely observational, taking in Silver Fox's appearance as a stranger. Burnet, however, wore a mask of complex emotions, with guilt and fear warring within him.
He believed thirty million was a reasonable sum to demand from her, yet he had angered her because of this matter. Now his need for her help gnawed at his confidence.
In stark contrast to Marissa, Silver Fox possessed a beauty that captivated everyone with its charm and allure. While Marissa shone with a clean, bright brilliance, Silver Fox exuded a potent feminine magnetism that could easily ensnare men's hearts.

Silver Fox, clad in a chic white pantsuit and crowned with voluminous curls, clutched a giant bag of snacks. Curiosity danced in her exquisite features as she surveyed the opulent office, its grandeur reminiscent of a royal palace.
Two motives fueled her visit to the Daniels Group alongside Marissa today. Firstly, an unwillingness to be separated from her friend, and secondly, a burning desire to witness the sheer scale and splendor of the company.
Even upon entering the building, she'd marveled at the internal facilities, and now, as she stood in the billionaire's inner sanctum, a surge of satisfaction washed over her.
Not everyone, not even celebrities, enjoyed such access. Here she was, solely thanks to Marissa.
Marissa, understanding Silver Fox's wonder, allowed her a moment to soak in the surroundings. Only when curiosity seemed sated did she tap the desk, prompting Silver Fox's attention.
With a smile that crinkled her eyes, Silver Fox deposited the hefty bag of snacks on the desk.
Without a word, Marissa rummaged through the bag, extracting a pack of popcorn which she promptly began munching on.
At that moment, Connor finally grasped the purpose behind the cleared space—a makeshift snack bar for enjoying the show. He too wanted in on the entertainment, so he reached for the popcorn and started crunching. Throughout this exchange, Silver Fox had been discreetly observing Connor.

Connor, aware of her scrutiny, remained impassive. “Thanks for the compliment, Elin,” he replied coolly.
Silver Fox exclaimed, "Even your voice is pleasing!" lavishing him with more praise. Nudging Marissa with a playful elbow, she declared, “Your husband's a real catch. Don't let him go!" Marissa responded, "Keep your nose out of it.” Silver Fox's playful facade vanished as she turned towards Burnet, who was now leaning against the sofa in a display of forced ease. His ingratiating smile failed to win her over. Unlike the smiles bestowed upon others, her charming expression dissolved when she met his gaze, replaced by a glacial chill.
