Chapter 540:


    After Silver Fox finished speaking, Bu was left momentarily speechless. Just earlier, Marissa had said Elin was sharp-tongued and had a nasty temper, but at the time, he hadn’t taken it to heart.


    Later, when he finally met Elin, he skillfully dodged a potential sh by swiftly changing the topic. He believed he had sidestepped her fury by paying the 80 million promptly, thus concluding the transaction without incident.


    However, unexpectedly, even after the transaction wasplete, he found himself on the receiving end of her harsh words. Receiving such a scolding, he held back any retort. He knew that any attempt to argue would simply provoke her further, and he would likely end up faring even worse.


    Thus, after a moment of silent resignation, he managed a forced smile and said, “Thank you for your guidance, Miss Elin. I will endeavor to improve myself.”


    “Pfft!” Marissa couldn’t contain herughter this time. Connor, although notughing aloud, was visibly amused, his shoulders shaking as he tried to suppress his chuckles, perfectly mirroring Marissa’s delight.


    Witnessing Bu’s surrender, Silver Fox felt a sense of satisfaction and decided it was time to ease up. She smiled and passed him the half-full bottle of perfume. “Mr. Hoffman, our deal has been very agreeable. Should you find yourself in a bind again, do not hesitate to seek me out for business,” she said.


    Bu epted the perfume with a measured look, choosing to remain silent. In high spirits, Silver Fox pped her hands and then turned to Marissa. “I’m off to see Araceli. Goodbye!” Without waiting for Marissa to respond, she simply turned and strode away.

    The office settled into a rare silence. Both Marissa and Connor nced over at Bu, barely suppressing their smiles. Bu held the half-full perfume bottle, his gaze shifting from the object in his hand to the couple snacking in front of him, his expression icy. “Had your fill of the show?” he asked coldly.


    Connor, not missing a beat, picked up a file and resumed his work, clearly dismissing the confrontation. Marissa, on the other hand, engaged further with Bu.


    “Mr. Hoffman, it’smendable that you’ve quickly seen the error of your ways and opted for self-improvement. Here, take this—another remedy for your troubles,” she said, presenting him with a new bottle.


    Bu, his brow furrowed, remained silent. Today’s encounters had taught him the perils of rash words in the presence of these sharp-witted women. Marissa seemed unfazed by his demeanor. She retrieved a small porcin bottle from her bag and handed it to Bu.


    As Bu epted it, Marissa began to exin, “The Wild Bluebell perfume can help manage asthma, though its effects are gradual and might take years of consistent application before a significant improvement is seen. However, when it’s used together with this medicine, the recovery time can be significantly reduced.”


    Bu examined the porcin bottle, rotating it in his hand. It bore nobel or description. Curious, he unscrewed the cap and took a whiff. A medicinal scent wafted out, surprisingly soothing, and it lightened his spirits immediately. He raised his eyes to Marissa, intrigue coloring his tone.


    “What exactly is this medicine?”


    Marissa responded, “This is a unique medicine created by Dr. S. specifically designed for asthma treatment. Think of it as an advanced version of my father’s AsthmaEase Pill.”


    An advanced version of the AsthmaEase Pill? Bu mulled over her words, then looked up at Marissa. “So, I didn’t need to purchase this half-bottle of perfume. This medicine you gave me can save my life as well, right?”


    Marissa nodded sincerely. Bu couldn’t suppress a bitterugh. “Why didn’t you bring it out sooner?”


    Marissa shrugged. “Was I supposed to?”
