Looking into mirror, she carefully outlined her seductive red lips with so exorbitantly priced lipstick, the maid felt quite confident about her perfect features.
Being able to serve as Sofia's butler, she was confident in her own appearance. And to have reached this position, her intelligence was absolutely up to par.
If it weren't for the stirrings of spring in her heart, she felt she wouldn't have been so passive before Harry. But everything was predestined, and now she could no longer control so of her actions.
For instance, every ti she went to see Harry, she couldn't help but dress up ticulously, use the best costics, and wear the most beautiful clothes.
Even her nails were carefully manicured, and she chose the most suitable bracelets and rings, more attentively than when she had attended the expo a few days ago.
After confirming that her selection was indeed perfect, the maid finally stepped out, got into the car, and rushed to Harry's office.
In the spacious and bright office, this stunning high-level executive from Shireck t with Harry, who was busy reviewing docunts.
The expo had just ended, and Harry's work was naturally extrely busy. The event facilitated tens of thousands of contracts, and the vast amount of transactions proved the trendous success of this expo.
The Great Tang Group was undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary, not only securing a huge volu of orders but also establishing its trademark in almost all high-tech fields.
It was a war, a grand war, a war without smoke but of utmost importance!
Through this war, the Great Tang Group established industry standards. With such standards in place, other competitors had to compete according to Great Tang Group's rules of the ga.
In this competition, Great Tang Group acted both as the referee and a competitor, its advantage was naturally huge. Moreover, with Tang Mo's foresight, the powerful Great Tang Group was already in an invincible position.
Harry closed the docunt in front of him and looked at the maid who entered the room, saying, "There is sothing Mr. Tang has asked to inform you about."
"Do you have ti tonight? How about going to Brunas Hotel for a bite to eat?" the maid took a book from the shelf, trying to appear as if she ca here often, and was not an outsider.
Harry felt sowhat drained, he rubbed the bridge of his nose and continued, "I called you here for business."
"Eating is business too, isn't it? After we finish talking about business, shall we eat together?" the maid nonchalantly put the book back on the shelf and continued her grand pursuit of the man she fancied.
"Hope you'll still have ti to eat later." Harry cracked a smile, "You might be very busy for a while after this."
The maid furrowed her brows and looked at Harry. She didn't mind doing sothing interesting with the man she liked after work, but work was still work.

"Firstly, we have to thank you for the intelligence you provided, which allowed us to quickly confirm who the mastermind behind the assassination of Earl Alice is," he interlocked his hands and propped his chin on them.
"What exactly are you trying to say." The maid seed to realize sothing and asked urgently.
"The Smiling Tiger… that old man… is going to die in three days." Not one to beat around the bush, Harry got straight to the point, "If Lady Sofia is interested, she can make preparations in advance, which could expand her influence within Shireck."
"What are you saying?" The maid was shocked, staring into Harry's eyes with an incredulous exclamation.
It should be noted that Shireck was, after all, a behemoth with deep roots and substantial wealth, and in terms of influence, it wasn't much less than the Great Tang Group.
Such a terrifying existence, the mbers of its upper council, naturally held positions of great power and distinguished prestige.
To touch these people was inherently not an easy matter. Who among them, after having survived in Shireck for so many years, wasn't a cunning old fox?
Assassinating such an entity would require an imnse amount of energy and ti that was incalculable, and even so, success couldn't be guaranteed.
If it were really that easy, Sofia would have taken action herself long ago, eliminating these people to swallow the Shireck pie whole; why would she wait for Tang Mo to make a move?
Therefore, the maid was so shocked that the Great Tang Group had, without a sound, arranged for an assassin to infiltrate the side of the smiling tiger and even obtained an opportunity to strike...
Harry, as if boasting about the power of the Great Tang Group, once again spoke to confirm the news, "Hmm? Didn't catch that? The smiling tiger is about to die! Who let him plan the assassination of Countess Alice?"
"You got an assassin by his side so quickly?" the maid could hardly hide her curiosity as she asked.
"That's not for you to worry about. You just need to pass the ssage to Lady Sofia, we'll take care of the rest," Harry insisted, keeping silent about the assassin's details.
As the saying goes, the more one talks, the more one loses. Even if he uttered just a few words, he might accidentally reveal details of the operation, or even expose the thod of assassination and the pattern of the action, which could complicate similar operations in the future.
So, the best strategy was actually to say nothing at all.
"..." The maid opened her mouth, but no words ca out.
"How about it? Dinner together tonight?" Seeing the deflated expression on her face, Harry couldn't resist the urge to tease.
The maid clenched her teeth, "Harry! You really are a jerk..."
"Thanks for the complint." Harry revealed a triumphant smile.
"The more I think about it, the better a man you seem to be," the maid said, no longer as angry when she saw his expression.
"..." This ti, it was Harry's turn to be deflated.
The maid, with a satisfied look, walked to the door, turned back with a laugh, "Hahaha! Goodbye! I don't have ti to dine with you tonight, brother, but in three days, it's on ..."
"I'm very busy! No ti in three days!" Just as the door closed, Harry shouted desperately from his office.
The maid smiled outside the door, then straightened her expression and walked out of the building, getting into her car, "Let's go back!"
A coded telegram was quickly sent back from Brunas to Fla Castle, and when Sofia saw the content, she was silent for a long ti.
A once in a millennium opportunity was thus laid before her! If handled well this ti, she might very well swallow many of the smiling tiger's assets.
But to prepare in advance would make the other Shireck council mbers suspect, suspect that it was she who had the smiling tiger killed...
It was a love-hate decision, truly difficult to choose. Was it better to take the risk of suspicion to reap real benefits, or to feign ignorance and buy so insurance? Sofia found it to be a hard choice indeed.
