hist when I thought that he wouldn’t stir up any trouble for me, Lily made a mess for me. There were guests from Brightwave Group, but she didn’t tell me about it. She had even ke them to walk is the conference room. By the time the text from Zack, he and his team had already been waiting there for more than an hour.
Inished to the conference room and asked, “A-Are you working at Brightwave Group, Zack? I’m really sorry. My colleague didn’t tell me that you were here. I would’ve been here micheleri you had sent me a text sooner.” Inoticed that Zack was sitting in the middle of the group, and 1 knew that he held a high position in Brightwave Group

Meanwhile, a lady gave me a displeased look. “Are you exploiting your connections right now? You’ve kept us waiting for a long time, Ms. Grem. Do you ink this would be over Jest tke that?

tamiled as responded to her and apologized countless times. Zack also helped to broker peace, and the mood in the cooghtened a Birtle.
At that moment, Jean appeared, bringing over some milkshakes. “I’m sorry, everyone. Ms. Green said that the milkshakes from this place are particularly famous. She asked me to line up to boy them, amel “I’ve bought their most well-received flavors and some snacks. Let’s have these while we call business.”
I gave lean a lot of approval. She wiped the sweat on her forehead and blinked at me.
This time. Brightwave Group’s team were all young people. The room became lively inter of seconds, as there was good food and drinks on the table
“This is currently the most famous milkshake out there. I lined up for it awhile back, but couldn’t even get one.”
“It’s easier to talk to a bellow young person. There isn’t any gap in communication, and we share similar interests.”
“You’re very thoughtful, Ms. Gem. I haven’t seen these snacks in any other shops before.”
Just as I thought that we were about to get down to business, Lily, who didn’t know her place, came into the conference room
“Are you all eating ally? Are you here for a meeting or a meal?” Lily glanced at the things on the table and pursed her lips disdainfully,
“Is this what you’ve bought for our esteemed quest, Eva? These cakes are only worth dozens of dollars. I can’t believe you think it’s okay to humiliate yourself this way”
“Perhaps you should use your own mory and treat them to a Michelin-star, then.” I took a big sip of the milkshake and telt very pleased.
Lily was about to say something, but Zack spoke before she could
“You’re Ma. Jane, aren’t you? We’ve been here for more than an hour, but you kept telling us that Mr. Harmon isn’t free. What is the meaning of this? Are you here to flex your athenry in frontefish
Zack duvetly stood up and buttoned his suit jacket. The members of his team als put down everything in their hands and rose to their fert
“If you guys aren’t planning on collaborating with us, then I’ll take my leave now. I’ll transter the money for the snacks and milishakes to you, Eva. I wouldn’t want someone to accuse you of missing the company’s money”
How humerous, Mr. Boyd. My company can afford to pay for some snacks Leonard opened the door and walked aside. The smile on his face wasn’t that greine. It seemed that he also didn’t know that Zack worked for Brightwave Group, as he seemed slightly embarrassed Leonard glanced at me and asked in a rather untrendly tone, “What’s the matter? Did you make our esteemed guests wait for you?
“It’s all Eva’s fault. I sent someone to inform the design department, but she had ordered her colleague to line up and by some stuff. That’s why our guests waited for so long. “Eva ako made Mr. Smith wit last true.

However, Leonard was too blind and stupid. That was why he completely believed what Lily had said. “If you’re going to talk about the collaboration, you should do it properly, Eva What’s the point of deing these things?
“Can you afford to take responsibility if the people from Brightwave Group leave today? Are you going to be responsible for the company’s losses?
I was so tired of how stupid he was. 1 would never have hit on him if this was how he had behaved in the past
“Do you have a screw loose, Leonard? I would’ve welcomed Zack at the entrance if I knew that he was coming. Why would I make him wait in the conference room?
Iglared at Leonard nastily and added, “Did someone deliberately stop me from meeting Zack because he didn’t want to divorce me?
We had better for years. I knew just what to say to hurt him. I hadn’t really paid any attention to Zack back in college, but Leonard would still feel jealous
Leonard might not love me anymore now, but he wouldn’t be pleased if his wife cared this much about another man. As expected, he blow his top in the next second. “Love this instant, Eva Green! You’re of the project! Get out now!” Lily stood behind him and gave me atriumphant look. Meanwhile, I rolled my eyes at her. I was about to remind Leonard to give me my commission for the earlier work I had done for the project, but Zack pour first
“If Ms. Green isn’t going to sh the design, then Brightwave Goup isn’t going to continue with the collaboration.” Zack snickered and looked at Leonard. “Do you actually think that I wantpcollaborate with Harmon Group because of you?! Chapter 41 A Proper
