Lies
“Who am I? Mr. Synder, aren’t you going to introduce me to Ms. Hoffman?”
“You know me?” Felix’s fiancée asked in puzzlement. How did she know about my surname?
Without answering, Naomi turned toward Felix.
He immediately explained, “Everyone in the industry knows that there’s a marriage contract between
our families. Besides, our photos were trending on social media. Of course, she knows you.”
“Is that so? Then, how did she get to know you?”
“Uh… She was in charge of a project with Synder Group previously.” Felix came up with a random
excuse.
“Really?” His fiancée sized up Naomi and asked, “Are there any other projects she’s in charge of now?”
“No! Not anymore,” he answered without any hesitation.
“If that’s so, why is she trying to approach you and looking at you in that way? Don’t tell me that women
nowadays like to pester rich men to such an extent. You better stay away from such a woman…”
Although her voice was soft, it was loud enough for Naomi to hear her clearly. Naomi then locked her
gaze on Felix and asked meaningfully, “Mr. Synder, are you sure there are no other projects between
us?”
Looking at Naomi’s stern expression, Felix was worried that she might spill everything and cause
unnecessary trouble to him. He instantly spat out, “There are no suitable projects for Synder Group to
cooperate with your company recently. I will inform your boss personally if there’s any!”
Upon listening to that, Naomi snorted. “Inform my boss personally? Hmph! I’m afraid that you don’t
have that ability, Mr. Synder.”
Felix’s expression instantly darkened as he warned, “You can leave now. We’ve got something else to
do.” With that, he shot Naomi a warning glance, but she ignored it.
Felix’s fiancée crossed her arms while scrutinizing Naomi. How dare she talk to Felix in such a way!
Could it be that there’s someone else backing her up?
“Who’s your boss? How dare you not show Synder Group any respect?”
“Of course! My boss is the president of Seet Group, Evan Seet. Do you think he will bother with Synder
Group?” Naomi shot a glance at Felix’s fiancée as she finished her sentence.
“Seet Group?” Felix’s fiancée was shocked.
As she pondered on it, she felt that something was amiss. Seet Group has never cooperated with
Synder Group, but Felix just said that this woman was in charge of a project with Synder Group earlier.
How is that possible?
“Felix, is she telling the truth?”
Before Felix could answer, Juan suddenly walked out of the room. Although there was a faint smile on
his face, his gaze was sharp and cold. Seeing the murderous look radiating from his eyes, an
involuntary shudder ran through Felix.
Why is he here?
“Naomi, we have a project to discuss in a while. Our client is probably reaching soon. I’ll be waiting for
you in the private room.”
“Okay, Mr. Juan.”
With that, Juan glared at Felix and left. Meeting his gaze, Felix felt as if he was trapped in an ice cellar
as shivers raced down his spine.
He never thought that Juan would have such an intimidating aura.
Why is he looking at me like that? Could it be that Naomi betrayed me? Does this mean that Juan
knows I stole Seet Group’s confidential information?
He looked toward Naomi, eagerly wanting to get an answer from her. However, Naomi shot him a
glance and uttered meaningfully, “Mr. Synder, I have to go now. We’ll cooperate again in the future.”
With that, she turned toward his fiancée and gave her a contemptuous smirk. Staring at Felix’s tense
expression, his fiancée could sense that there must be something between him and Naomi.
“Why would Seet Group cooperate with Synder Group?”
“S-she was not from Seet Group previously,” Felix prevaricated casually.
However, his fiancée did not believe him. She shot him a cold glance and added, “Felix, I’ll find out
when she first joined Seet Group. Not only that, but I’ll also discover what’s your relationship with her
and just how many other vixens you have outside as well! I’ll find out everything! Just you wait!” After
finishing her remarks, she then strode off angrily.
