Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 1314

With that thought, Desmond couldn’t help grumbling inwardly.

But with the boss in such a foul mood, he knew he would suffer for it too.

Desmond didn’t dare risk crossing Lucas now.

Still, he had work in hand that needed reporting.

The moment he thought of it, his head began to ache. He had tried to pass it to others, but no one else was willing to go.

Clearly, the task had fallen to him alone.

At last, Desmond resigned himself and knocked on Lucas‘ office door, delivering the file inside.

It was a long while before a voice came from within.

With the chill radiating off Lucas, the company hardly needed air–conditioning.

Before, Desmond had always thought novels exaggerated when they described male leads exuding a freezing aura.

But seeing it now, he realized those novels must have had a grain of truth.

All Desmond wanted at this moment was to escape.
