Kevin gasped when he saw the woman's face—she looked far too much like a certain someone.
Cedric smiled when he saw the woman's face. "Let her in."
Kevin stepped aside, hesitating as he glanced at the woman.
There were not as many women trying to get near Cedric like this for the past few years, but a few would still appear every now and then. The woman hurried into the elevator, and the doors slid shut.
Cedric just stared straight ahead and said nothing. After hesitating for a while, the woman looked up at him cautiously and said, "Sir, thank you for saving me."
He leaned down toward her and said, "So, how should you be thanking me?"
The woman's face flushed red, and her voice trembled. "I have no money, but I can do anything you want me to."
"Anything I want?"
She lowered her head and nodded. Cedric forced her into a corner and looked down at her. Suddenly, he reached out his hand to grab her by the throat with a cold look in his eyes.
The woman stared up at him in shock. She clearly did not expect this to happen.
Cedric spoke up with contempt. "Did you know? I hate this face of yours more than anything."
Her eyes widened in disbelief. She could not believe what she was hearing. She was told that her face resembled that of a certain someone and that Cedric would soften up when he saw her.
The woman was willing to be a mere stand-in for that certain someone. But what was happening now was completely different from what she had imagined.
The elevator doors soon opened. Cedric threw the woman to the ground and stepped out of the elevator without looking back at her even once.
