Chapter 200 Run Naked âThen thereâs no need to place a bet.â
âYouâre scared,â
âWhat?â
âYou dare not bet because you fear that once our product hits the market, it will pose a significant threat to your company,â Emrys said provocatively, After a moment of pause, Huxley scoffed. âI donât know whatâs gotten into you, but if youâre so keen on bringing humiliation upon yourself, Iâll take you up on your bet. If you lose, youâll have to strip n*ked and run a lap around Honeybeauty Groupâs building.â
âNo problem.â
After leaving Huxleyâs private cocktail party, Cordelia walked swiftly while wearing a cold expression.
Emrys trailed behind her, forcing a smile as he said, âDelia, why are you walking so fast? Are you angry with me?â
Cordelia paid him no attention.
Emrys continued, âYou have to believe me. Iâm not messing around. I wonât do something Iâm not confident about.â
Cordelia still ignored him.
Emrys remarked, âDelia, your buttocks look good, especially in these slacks. They perfectly showcase the curves of your hips, and they look attractive whenever you move your waist.â
Cordelia was at a loss for words.
She finally lost it and turned around, pinching Emrysâ ear as she demanded, âWhy would you engage in such a pointless bet with Huxley? Donât you realize itâs a losing game? Run n*ked? Why donât you try doing it now?â
Emrys shielded his ear and said, âWhy do you have such little faith in me?â
âTell me how do you plan on winning, then!â
âFine, I suppose I should tell you the truth.â
Suddenly, Emrys leaned over and whispered into Cordeliaâs ear, âActually, the formula that Huxley got was a fake.â
âA fake?â
Cordeliaâs beautiful eyes widened in surprise before she asked confusedly, âIf the formula is fake, then why is âPretty Faceâ so popular? It has practically dominated the facial mask market in Summerbank. Its effects are indeed quite impressive, too.â
Chapter 200 Run Naked âThis is all an illusion. Just give it a few more days, and the flaws of âPretty Faceâ will be completely exposed,â Emrys said, smiling.
âReally?â Cordelia asked incredulously, staring at him with suspicion.
Emrys assured, âOf course. When have I ever deceived you? Even if I really lost the bet, it wouldnât be a âbig deal to run n*ked. Itâs good that I have the chance to show off certain parts of my b*dy to make other men feel inferior.â
Cordeliaâs face flushed red as she chided, âWhat a pervert!â
To his surprise, she actually understood his dirty joke.
Three days later, the launch of âWorldâEnchanting Beautyâ did not produce any results as expected.
In the Chairmanâs office of Honeybeauty Group, Huxley was in high spirits. He summoned his female secretary to review the dayâtoâday operations.
Ten minutes later, the secretary left. However, not long after her departure, the marketing manager knocked and entered, placing a stack of documents on Huxleyâs cluttered office desk. âMr. Bjorn, it seems there has been an issue with our new product. These are all the complaints we received.â
Huxley furrowed his brows, asking, âThat much?â
The marketing manager hesitated but ultimately reported truthfully, âActually, these are just a small portion of the complaints weâve receivedâ¦â
âWhatâs going on?â Huxleyâs face darkened, and he slapped the desk, commanding, âSummon Benjamin over right now!â
Benjamin was the department head of Honeybeauty Groupâs R&D department, also the bespectacled man who was beaten up by Emrys in the abandoned warehouse.
He was the one who submitted the formula of âPretty Face.â
Huxley soon received the news that Benjamin had fled, and he flew into a rage. âD*mn Benjamin! How dare he collude with Cordelia Group to undermine me? Send someone to find him immediately! Break that b*stardâs legs once heâs found!â
Of course, he understood what had happened.
