Chapter 535
The next morning, in the president’s office of the Nicholson Corp., Dahlia was sipping a cup of coffee
as she went through sheets of financial statements.
Just then, someone knocked on her door.
“Come in.” Dahlia put her
cup
down.
“You called for me, Ms. Nicholson?” Dustin pushed the door open and entered. As Chief Security
Officer, he needed to check in at the company every day.
“Where were you last night? I couldn’t reach you on the phone.” Dahlia probed just as he stepped in.
“My friend got into some trouble, so I went to help out.” Dustin grinned sheepishly.
“Your friend? It isn’t Natasha Harmon, is it?” Dahlia’s brow rose in suspicion. “No wonder you were so

Dustin cleared his throat and quickly changed the subject before Dahlia became jealous. “You didn’t
call me over just to talk about this, did you, Ms. Nicholson?”
“As if I’m that bored.” Dahlia retorted and rolled her eyes. “An important client is arriving later, and we
have to serve her well. Make sure you take care of all matters related to security.”
“No problem.” Dustin nodded.
“It’s almost time for us to meet at the café downstairs. Let’s go.” Dahlia glanced at her watch before
grabbing her purse and walking out of the room. Dustin quickly followed suit.
The two of them went downstairs and walked into the café next door. As soon as they sat down, a
bright red Ferrari slowly pulled up to the entrance.
The door swung open, and a woman in a red bodycon dress stepped out. Her vibrant scarlet lips,
beautiful face, and voluptuous figure were striking, and her long, smooth legs seemed to go on for
miles, and her black, sheer pantyhoses only made her more alluring than ever.
“She’s here!” Dahlia sprung up as soon as the woman walked into the shop. Dahlia extended her hand
with a kind smile. “Hello, Ms. Larson. I’m Dahlia Nicholson. Nice to meet you.”
“I didn’t think that Nicholson Corp.’s new president would be a woman. How interesting.” Ms. Larson
removed her sunglasses, revealing her surprised expression.
“You flatter me, Miss. Please take a seat.” Dahlia gestured to the seat beside her.
“And who might this handsome man be?” Ms. Larson gave Dustin a flirty smile as she scanned
him from head to toe.
“This is our Chief Security Officer, Dustin Rhys. He’s responsible for our security.” Dahlia

introduced.
“My safety is in your hands now, Mr. Rhys.” Ms. Larson reached out a hand for Dustin to shake.
“It’s my duty.” Dustin smiled softly and shook her outstretched hand. “You seem familiar, Ms. Larson.
Have we met before?” Dustin just couldn’t shake off the feeling that they knew each other.

Ms. Larson giggled. “Your flirting skills still need some work, Mr. Rhys. It’s too old-fashioned.
“Dustin!” Dahlia glared, annoyed. How could he flirt with her client in front of her?
“I must have mistaken you for someone else.” Dustin smiled apologetically.
“I’m so sorry, Ms. Lardon. He’s very inexperienced. Please forgive him.” Dahlia apologized,
embarrassed.
“It’s alright. I understand. Men are always like that.” Ms. Larson smirked teasingly, slowly crossing her
sexy legs elegantly.
“Let’s get down to business, Ms. Larson.” Dahlia quickly changed the topic. “I suggest
building a casino on the newly developed land. Please take a look at my proposal.” She handed a
document to Ms. Larson.
“Let me see.” Ms. Larson accepted the document and began looking through it, but for some reason,
she kept peeking at Dustin.
