Chapter 180 Chapter 180 She Got to Know Him Better Ten minutes later, Jean sat on a bench opposite the hotel and held her phone to record a video. She witnessed Gigi's manager calling a few models and actors to the hotel. "Tsk, tsk. Is she looking for people to take the blfor her?" Unfortunately for her, I have installed a camera along the hotel corridor. It shows that Gigi knows her way around the hotel and enters without hesitation the room Andy frequently stays in. Even an idiot would know what is going on.
However, it felt exhilarating to have such evidence with her. Thus, she did not wish to expose it too soon. Today, Jean had not only taken back Garrison Group but played around with a few people. Words could not describe how satisfying it felt to her. Thus, she took out her phone and suddenly felt like inviting someone to dinner. Who should I call? She walked along the street and soon noticed an advertisement board for a new product from Peres in the middle of a pedestrian street.
In that photo, Jean deliberately hooked her arm around Edgar's neck while he leaned down toward her. They stood closely and intimately but did not kiss. The photo seemed mysterious and mesmerizing.
Jean looked at it for a while and recalled a few strange incidents. However, she bit her lower lip and reminded herself to remain clear-headed.
A week later, Garrison Group had been renamed Eyer Group.
Although the company did not have a physical office, and Jean was the only person in the company, at least she found a goal she could work toward. Furthermore, a few of Eyer Group's past business partners contacted Jean.
They expressed their willingness to give Eyer Group a chance if there were any opportunities for collaboration. That, to Jean, was the best kind of news she could receive.
Jean looked at the words 'Eyer Group' and sat smiling by the street.
At sdistance away, a bodyguard who had been protecting Jean in secret quickly reported to someone.
"Is that all?" The person arched an eyebrow.
Jean's reaction was not what I expected. She is behaving too calmly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Yes." Miles handed over a few proposals for joint ventures. "I have chosen a few proposals as you instructed and made sure they are suitable for Eyer Group." Edgar glanced at them. "This proposal is too complicated. And this one is unsuitable." Then, he patted the table and continued, "Search again." "Yes, Mr. Royden." Miles was about to leave the office when he recalled something. He turned around and hesitated. "What is it?" "Mr. Shaw requested a long leave to rest. Please have a look. Are you going to approve it?" Edgar frowned, but before he could say anything, a figure suddenly appeared at the door. It was Edbert. He held a box of pastries and said with a smile, "Have I disturbed your work?" "Uncle Edbert." Edgar gestured to Miles before standing up to welcEdbert into the office.
"I saw you were busy and did not want to disturb you. However, this dessert was the one your late mother loved.
I finally found sthat looked and tasted the same, so I brought them for you to try." Edbert pushed the box of pastries toward Edgar. He had a nostalgic expression on his face.
"How nice it would be if they were still alive." His words triggered old memories to resurface in Edgar's mind.
Edgar frowned and said, "Uncle Edbert..." "I understand you have a lot of work, but you should also take care of yourself. Alright, I won't take up any more of your time. I'll leave first." Edbert got up slowly as he spoke.
After walking a few steps, Edbert turned around again. “I recalled seeing someone who looked like Susan that day. I'm not sure if my eyes were playing tricks with me." "No, she was Susan." Then, Edgar explained that he had gone to the countryside to find Susan and brought her to the city.
Edbert was surprised before nodding with delight. "You did right and considered well. One should be grateful to people who have helped us and remember to repay their good deeds." He left Edgar's office after saying that.
His secretary Alex Moore was already waiting outside for him.
Once the elevator door closed, Edbert sighed and said, “Tell Mr. Shaw that he doesn't have to apply for a leave anymore." Alex was stunned. "Are you sure Mr. Edgar will forgive Mr. Shaw?" "The matter was only about a woman. They have been working together for so long. There is no need to ruin their relationship over such a trivial matter.” Edbert narrowed his eyes. “A successful man should be magnanimous." Alex nodded immediately. "Yes, Mr. Edbert. You are right." "By the way, helpto send a gift and flowers to a hospital. An old friend of mine is unwell." Edbert left the elevator after saying that.
It was raining lightly outside.
Edbert mumbled, "Why has it been so rainy this year." The rain showed no signs of stopping any tsoon.
Jean sat on the rug and watched the news.
"Royden Group's Arid Residential Project has officially begun in the west of the city. Thus, many companies in the relevant industries began to feel an invisible threat. After all, Royden Group has advanced rapidly in recent years..." She ate a spoonful of steaming hot macaroni and cheese and mumbled, "Edgar is too merciless in his business dealings. His enemies will soon retaliate against him." He has too many foes.
Jean chewed the macaroni and cheese in her mouth and ate spickles.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Jean put down her food and headed to the door. "Who is..." She saw a stern face before she could finish speaking.
At the stime, the TV was showing news about him.
Edgar glanced at the TV indifferently. "Is watching the news all you do?" Jean immediately blocked him from entering the house and glared at him with hostility. "How did you find out where I live?" "Is it supposed to be difficult to find out?" Edgar frowned as he smelled the macaroni and cheese from her room. "Get changed. I'm bringing you to dinner." "No thank you." Jean rejected him without hesitation.
Is he out of his mind? It's rainy and cold outside. I don't want to go out. Contents belong to
However, before she could close the door on him, Edgar replied calmly. "Susan has been discharged from the hospital today. I hired a special chef to prepare a feast." Suddenly, Jean felt her macaroni and cheese did not seem appetizing anymore.
Edgar glanced at her and said, "I'll wait for you in the car." Then, he walked away without another word.
Jean watched him walk away and grumbled to herself, "It must bem him must Susan who asked him to invite me. I believe he doesn't wantat the dinner either." Since he doesn't wantthere, I must go.
Furthermore, I need to find ways to annoy him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI will show him that he is too incompetent to manage Eyer Group. Furthermore, I will soon find a way to return Eyer Group to its past glory.
Yes, it's settled then.
Therefore, Jean quickly changed her clothes and headed downstairs. She noticed Miles and the river were not in the car. It turned out Edgar drove the car to her place alone. "It's raining. Are you sure you can drive?" Edgar glanced at her but said nothing. His gaze was as determined as ever.
Thus, Jean had no choice but to get into his car and put on the seatbelt.
Edgar had a strange condition that would act out not only in the plane. It also made him uncomfortable being in the car during heavy rain.
Since he did not seem to mind, Jean decided not to say anything.
The car traveled onto the overpass. Unfortunately, the rain soon grew heavier.
Jean kept checking on Edgar's reaction. Initially, he seemed fine and calm.
However, he began to sweat profusely.
"Would you liketo turn on the aircon?" Jean asked softly.
Edgar did not respond. Thus, Jean turned on the aircon by herself.
Meanwhile, Edgar frowned and pulled down his necktie. His headache kept growing worse.
