Hearing the man's words, Smelian didn't answer immediately. Instead, he looked up at Dean, the department head, who was doing his best to make himself invisible. All his previous arrogance had vanished.
Feeling Smelian's cold gaze, he even cracked a sycophantic smile, hoping Smelian would spare him.
But Smelian acted as if he hadn't seen it, asking coldly, "Is that acceptable, Dean?"
The people from the Male Management Agency wanted him to put in a good word for them with Duke Lu Xia, but he had deliberately thrown this difficult problem to Dean. It was tantamount to holding his feet to the fire.
The moment Smelian finished speaking, the men from the Male Management Agency all turned to look at Dean, clearly waiting for his answer.
Not that any of their gazes were particularly friendly.
In their eyes, if Dean hadn't made such a reckless accusation, they wouldn't have been put in such a passive position.
