"You said your manager doesn't look like me, so what does he look like?" Emmanuel asked, his face stern as he stared her down.

"Oh, still going on with this?" The woman crossed her arms, her expression just as irritated. "Do your research next time. Why should I tell you what our manager looks like?" "Isn't it Gautier Verkade? Looks like this, right?” Emmanuel didn't waste any more targuing. He pulled out his phone and showed her a photo of Chapter 2025 A Slap to Show Where He Stands Gautier.

The woman began to feel uneasy. If these three were frauds, why were they so persistent? What was the point of trying to break into a new company? It didn't add up.

Just as suspicion began to creep in, a Porsche pulled up in front of the office. Gautier stepped out of the car with his assistant beside him.

"Mr. Verkade?" The woman gasped in shock, her sense of foreboding intensifying. That man had just made a phone call, and now her boss-or at least she thought so-had shown up. If this was just a coincidence, it was far too convenient.

"Mr. Verkade!" The security guards behind her greeted Gautier in unison, their voices loud and clear.

"Emmanuel, I'm sorry! I didn't know you were coming. Otherwise, I would have waited at the office to greet you properly," Gautier said, completely ignoring the woman at the entrance.

Despite his confidence, Gautier couldn't help but feel a wave of pressure from Emmanuel's imposing presence as the Wolf Warrior. Without hesitation, Gautier turned and slapped the woman hard across the face. "What are you, blind? Don't you recognize the real boss?" "W-What? I-I..."
