Chapter 725 The Kingpin Has Returned!


    The door to the CEO’s office was not closed, and there was a small gap.


    Mavis stood outside the door and sneaked a peak.


    Luke was standing sideways in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. His slender body carried a


    compelling extravagance as he looked at the bustling city outside.


    The sunlight highlighted his side profile with a golden shine.


    The corners of his lips were raised, and this sight could charm the heart of any woman in the world.


    Mavis stared at Luke like a love-sick idiot. She wanted to open the door and rush over, but her feet


    seemed to be under a spell. She could not move at all.


    After a while, she suddenly thought of her makeup. She took a deep breath and rushed into her office.


    She had a private toilet inside her office.


    With slightly shaky hands, Mavis took out the cosmetic bag she carried with her, poured out the


    contents, and immediately began to doll herself up.


    She had always thought that Luke liked strong, aggressive, and arrogant women, but she did not


    expect that he preferred weak women like Bianca who were vulnerable and required protection.


    It turned out that she had taken the wrong approach from the beginning.


    Now that he was back, Mavis wondered if she stood a chance with him.


    She quickly finished touching up her makeup and then applied soft pink eyeshadow to make her


    already big eyes appear bigger and more innocent.


    Next, she applied a light blush to make her already well-maintained skin pinker.


    The peach lipstick that she applied made her lips look like it was covered with ayer of delicious jelly.


    Finally, Mavis took off her formal-looking suit and put on a yellow dress that she used to roll her eyes


    at.


    Mavis was satisfied when she saw her transformation from an arrogant to a beautiful woman.


    "The man that I’ve had a crush on for ten years has returned. I’ll appear in front of him with a new look."


    Mavis leaned against the wall, stroking her chest and gasping gently. 1


    She must remain calm and wow him with her new appearance.


    She was now the beautiful and soft Mavis.


    She had changed her entire appearance to suit his taste, hoping that he would take an extra nce at


    her.


    The coffee machine in the corner made a slight noise, and the indicator light gradually turned from red


    to green.


    The rich aroma wafted out of the coffee machine.

    Usually, her female assistant made coffee for her, but this time, Mavis did it herself.


    She took out a brand new porcin cup, poured a cup of coffee, and added some creamer and a small


    amount of sugar.


    After the coffee was brewed, she mustered up her courage and walked to the door of Luke''s office.


    Mavis knocked on the door politely and walked in when she heard his reply. She turned the doorknob


    and said, "Mr. Crawford, I heard them say that you''re back so I came here to take a look. I didn''t expect


    it to be true!"


    Mavis had tried to keep herposure, but the moment she saw Luke, all of her efforts turned futile.


    She was like a fanatic girl who was enthusiastically chasing after celebrities. She was seeing things


    through rose-colored lenses while her heart was full of sweetness.


    Her face was warm, and it was difficult for her to breathe.


    Her dolled-up eyes almost welled up with tears from excitement.


    Luke was more handsome than he was two years ago. His handsome and unparalleled silhouette has


    be tough, dangerous, and charming with time. It was enough to make any woman scream in


    admiration.


    To her, he was the perfect man.


    "Ms. Laviere." Luke nced at her with a grim expression.


    He was not sure of what she was trying to do.


    The woman in front of him was mature and morous, but she deliberately wore a dress that made her


    look younger. Her shy appearance, which waspletely different from her usual tough appearance,


    made him feel awkward.


    However, Mavis was overwhelmed with emotions and said, "Mr. Crawford, this is the coffee I made for


    you. In the past two years that you''ve been away, I really missed..."


    Before she could say the word ''you'', she was interrupted by Luke. "Ms. Laviere, bring me the


    company''s financial statements for the past two years. I''d like to have a look. Notify all shareholders


    and hold a general meeting at four o''clock sharp. Also, hold a press conference immediately..."


    His orders were precise and powerful.


    Luke''s domineering nature did not allow doubt, so Mavis could not say anything.


    No one knew what Luke was going to do next. He was a mysterious man. The more Mavis knew about


    him, the deeper she fell for him.


    In fact, with Mavis'' strong capability, manypanies had tried to headhunt her.


    However, she was keeping a secret that she was too ashamed to tell anyone.


    She loved the man in front of her deeply and could not bear to leave him.


    Even though he had been absent for the past two years, she would rather safeguard thepany that


    they had built together than change jobs.


    The longer Mavis was around other men, the more she despised them.


    Every time she met other men, she inadvertentlypared them to Luke.


    The gap between Luke and other men was too substantial.


    A good man like Luke was rare, but unfortunately, his affections were reserved only for a woman


    named Bianca, which made her distressed and annoyed.


    Mavis bit her soft lip and immediately followed Luke''s orders. However, she was upset.


    She had dressed up ording to his preferences, so why did he still not look at her more?


    Luke looked at Mavis'' back andposed his delicately carved face. He lit a cigarette and blew clouds


    while deep in thought.


    He was a smart man, and he was well aware of Mavis'' feelings toward him.


    However, he could not bring himself to fire her.


    One of the reasons was that she was good at what she did. The profits she brought to thepany


    were immeasurable and iparable.


    Secondly, she had contributed to the sess of T Corporation. She dedicated all her best years to T


    Corporation. He could not bear himself to cast her aside once she was no longer of use.


    Therefore, he had kept his distance from her as much as possible, warning her explicitly and implicitly


    that he and Bianca were happy together. He always tried to get her to back off.


    He thought that Ms. Laviere was a smart woman and should understand what he meant.


    The news of Luke''s return soon spread across A City.


    Eugene Hawking of JK Media was dressed in a well-tailored white suit as henguidly rested in his


    chair in the CEO''s office.


    On the man''s slender finger was an extraordinary blue sapphire ring. He had a casual smile on his face


    and carried the noble aura of a gentleman.


    Luke, the kingpin, had returned to A City. It seems that the entire A City was about to be turned upside


    down...
