Revenge Sevenfold

Lu Shen curled his lips up, and he slowly stood up from his seat to walk towards her.

Apprehensive, she watched as he draped an arm along the back of her chair and leaned forward, so that their faces were only inches apart. An index finger tilted her chin upwards, so that their eyes were locked.

Hui Yin looked at the flawless face that was crafted by the gods themselves and gulped.

Seeing him being mischievous like this, the deal couldn\'t be anything good for her.

"I won\'t interfere with your auditions anymore. You\'ll be free to make your own decisions, and I could even support you as an exclusive backer. I could make the A-list actress that was annoying you hand over her early resignation. You\'ll never have to see her again."

Hui Yin was shocked that he knew about Fei Hong. She was sorely tempted by his offer, but she knew that there was a price.

Lu Shen was a master of incentives; it was what made him an excellent businessman.

"In exchange for what?"

She jumped out of her chair to create distance between them, because she suddenly remembered that he was good at practicing body language as well.

She needed a clear head if she was going to make a deal with him.

Lu Shen raised an eyebrow, but didn\'t comment on her excessive reaction.

He straightened up and slid one hand into his trouser pocket.

"I want you to become my personal maid."

His voice was indifferent, as if what he just said wasn\'t something ridiculous.

"..."

I\'m sorry, my lord, did I really just hear that you want me to become your personal maid?

Do you know what century this is?

Did a pure as a flower and elegant noble lady accidentally transmigrated into your body and now want a handmaiden to serve her?

Although Hui Yin wanted to say all of that to Lu Shen, she knew better than to test this man\'s temper.

Instead, she asked, "Why?"

"Because I want to."

Her left eye twitched. "Why would you want to?"

He simply looked at her. "Because I want to order you around."

Hui Yin felt quite speechless. Is this why he wanted her to become his secretary?

So that she would obey his orders?

"No." If she agreed to his demands, wouldn\'t she just be reverting herself to a slave like what she had been in her former life?

His expression went cold. "Do you think you have a choice? Or maybe you don\'t want to go to that audition anymore?"

Hui Yin felt like clutching at her head. Why is this man so unreasonable? It was only an audition; does he really need to pull out the big guns?

"Lu Shen, I don\'t want to become your personal maid. Pick something else."

Her voice came out strained.

He crossed his arms. "That is my condition."

Hui Yin attempted to negotiate. Lu Shen was better at making deals than she was, but she had to try.

"How about this...just don\'t interfere with my acting job anymore. You don\'t have to make Fei Hong resign, and you don\'t need to become my backer. Just let me act freely, and request something else in exchange than making me become your personal maid. I really can\'t agree to that."

Lu Shen looked displeased.

"Why can\'t you agree? You don\'t have to do housework, I\'ll have several maids under my employ. You only need to cook my meals, but I won\'t insist if you\'re busy. All you have to do is to live with me and stay beside me, and follow my orders. I won\'t demand anything difficult that you can\'t do."

Hui Yin: "..."

My lord, ordering me to live and stay beside you is already something difficult that I can\'t do!
