CEO’s Seduction Trap

After riding the elevator upstairs, Leila, accompanied by the police, went straight to the Planning Department. Amid the stares of the department members, she knocked on the door of the manager’s office.

As the door opened, the man inside first looked puzzled, then smiled at Leila. “Miss Patel, what’s this about?”

Leila remained composed. “Mr. Knox, there’s a case about a video. I hope you can cooperate with the investigation.”

Mr. Knox’s expression tensed slightly. “That matter… Alright, come in.”

He stepped aside to let Leila and the police enter. “I’m not quite clear about that incident either. I saw it in the work group chat. But I’ve already instructed everyone in our department to delete the video and ensure it doesn’t spread…”

“I may not have been clear enough. I’m referring not to the gossip video, but to the video of you bribing a waitress at the hotel to drug me.”

As Leila spoke, Mr. Knox’s face turned pale.

Leila spoke openly in the Planning Department’s office area. This caused a stir among the people, and discussions broke out.

“Is what Miss Patel said true or false? Did Mr. Knox drug her?”

“Impossible, right? Mr. Knox and Miss Patel seemed to have a good private relationship. They even went out to dinner together a few days ago. I thought Mr. Knox was pursuing Miss Patel.”

“It doesn’t look like it’s fake. Miss Patel brought the police with her.”

Hearing the discussions, Mr. Knox staggered slightly. “Miss Patel, is there some misunderstanding here? What waitress? What drugging? I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

Facing this, Leila turned to the police behind her. “Sir, I need your assistance.”

The leading police officer nodded. “That’s what we’re here for.”

He then focused his gaze on Mr. Knox, showing his police badge and saying sternly, “Sir, any further discussion should take place at the police station.”

Mr. Knox recoiled. “I haven’t committed any crimes, why should you take me to the police station?”

“I can sue you for this. Just because you’re police officers doesn’t mean you can act recklessly.”

“You took me away like this and ruined my reputation in the company. How will I continue to work in the company in the future?”

The leading officer signaled to the other three officers, who stepped forward to stop Mr. Knox and escort him away.

Watching the police escort the man into the elevator, Leila tightened her hand slightly at her side and then turned to walk towards her office.

Her assistant rushed over. “Miss Patel, Miss Patel!”

Leila halted. “What’s the matter?”

“Mr. Lee is looking for you.”

Leila frowned. “I’m aware.”

With that, she handed her bag to the assistant and took the elevator to Mr. Lee’s office.

Mr. Lee was furious. He slammed his hand on the desk, making a loud ‘thud’ sound.

Observing this, Leila couldn’t help but marvel at the quality of the desks at Nova Group.

After pounding the desk, Mr. Lee pointed at Leila. “You, you…”

Realizing his rudeness, he withdrew his hand, crossed his arms, and seethed, “Leila, you… The company hired you with a high salary to create value, not to cause trouble.”

“Yes, I admit you’re capable. You’ve closed several major deals in just a few months, but even so, you can’t turn the company upside down just because you’ve done some good work.”

Mr. Lee had just heard about Leila bringing the police to the company. Before he could inquire, he received reports of the planning department manager being arrested.

He hadn’t even finished explaining yesterday’s video scandal to his boss, and now there was an even bigger problem.

“Explain!”

Leila had anticipated this when she reported to the police, so she remained quite composed.

She took out a USB drive from her pocket and placed it on Mr. Lee’s desk. “Mr. Lee, you should take a look at this first.”

Mr. Lee glanced at the USB drive with a furrowed brow. “What’s this?”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Seeing his hesitation, Leila took the USB drive and plugged it into his computer. She opened it and turned the screen towards him.

As the video played, Mr. Lee’s expression grew darker and darker.

Once the video ended, Mr. Lee’s anger subsided, leaving only a grim expression on his face.

“Why didn’t you report this to me when it happened?”

Leila remained composed. “Mr. Lee, this is my personal matter. I believe I have the right to handle it as I see fit.”

Mr. Lee. “…”

Leila continued, “I admit I’ve caused you a lot of trouble recently, and I’m sorry for that. But ultimately, the fault lies not with me.”
