Shortly after she graduated from college, George decided to bring her into the real family business since she had already undergone some training before when she started living with them. Unfortunately, Eva for the first time refused and made up her mind to withdraw from joining the family underworld business because it would only solidify that she was really contesting to join the next heir succession competition. Eva went back to Miami and since then she never tried to contact him since she told George that she wanted to stand on her own and not get involved with family business.He only heard that his granddaughter had become a world renowned model but had no idea that she was engaged to Mark. When most wealthy socialites her age were out partying and drinking, Eva was pressured by her father after she quitted being a model, she was buried under a mountain of paperworks . She handled almost all of the Carter corporation work and private funds, coupled with the Johnson Corporations
Eva was oblivious to the chaos she had caused in the minds of the employees because of her sudden appearance. She stepped out of the elevator when she got to the floor she was heading to.She walked directly to Grandpa Smith's office, but found it empty. Just as she stepped out of the office she met one of his secretaries who was walking back to his desk with a cup of hot coffee in his hand.“Good morning, Miss. The chairman inside the office in case you're looking for him.” The secretary greeted Eva when he saw her closing the door behind her. He had seen her a couple of times, visiting his boss and knew that she was someone close to the chairman but he didn't know what their relationship was. He only knows that the chairman treated her better than most of his children that come to visit him. “I can see that. Where is the Chairman?* Eva nodded her head and asked. “The chairman asked me to inform if you arrive that you should come and meet him in the private meeting room. He is wait
Spending 400 million is not a simple matter, even if the company was worth billions. Her eyes scanned the company executives that seemed to be on board with the numbers. A few handful of them questioned it, but none of them realized the major red flag that was being waved in their faces. Eva frown deepened on how incompetent they all were. How the hell did they get to be the company executive if they can't even tell that their company was about to get swindled. This project that was being presented now had already been reviewed by the company executives before it was brought today to be presented. So while they were going through this project couldn't they be able to tell that this was a stupid project? Why did they allow their chairman to come all the way to the company and listen to this crappy project? She searched the room for familiar consultants that were usually present and found none of them seated. This certainly made her wary.She was a part-time consultant for Lawrence ma
However, Mr. Wesson knew that Mr. Banner was purposely trying to invade his words because of their rivalry. But he felt that was petty of Mr. Banner because he thought he shouldn't have brought their personal grudges into this meeting because this was something that can affect the company afterwards. “Mr. Banner is right, although the profit might be low at first but let's take a look at the bigger picture. Eventually, we would be able to earn more profit by the time the business is known to everyone in the country.” Another executive said in support of Mr. Banner. “Besides, why are you in a haste, Mr. Wesson? It's not like the presenters have yet to conclude their presentation, so be patient and let's listen to the rest of the presentation. What if at the end of the presentation we find something useful for us, let's not be in haste.” Mr. Banner remarked, staring at Mr. Wesson with a smug smile on his face. He was confident that Mr. Wesson's opinion wouldn't be useful because he wo
“I've yet barely begun my argument, though I don't plan to waste my time on you guys. I would only point out your horrible mistake which I haven't even started. So, it would be too early for you to get provoked by seven simple words." Eva remarked in a cold voice, glaring at the man brave among the group of the presenters to speak. Her gaze was extremely fierce like a deadly snake ready to strike at any time.Everyone felt paralyzed instantly by her frightening stare. Where had they seen that type of glare before? This woman had become a completely different person from the woman who had entered the meeting room late earlier. It was as if she was about to devour them in their seats. “And you, the man with the weird purple color tie, I will be coming back to you." Eva uttered, she was talking to Mr. Banner who unconsciously gulped when he heard Eva words. Why was she coming back to him?Eva ignored the shocked and confused expression on Mr. Banner's face and turned her attention to th
They were the greedy fraction of the company executives. To them, even if Eva had pointed out the flaws in this project they couldn't accept to lose a young woman. They have to find a way to make the chairman want to accept the proposal.“Director Watt, why are you speaking like this? This young lady is clearly right and saying the truth. I'm glad that you all have someone to point out the obvious flaw in this project, let's just accept that this project proposal is forfeited and let's all move on.” Mr. Wesson replied to the man who had spoken up before Eva could open her mouth to reply to him. After he heard everything Eva had stated earlier, he had given it a deep thought and somewhat landed to a conclusion that Mr. Banner, Mr. Watt and the rest of the executives are trying to embezzle some money out of the project money into their pockets. No wonder he felt something was off and he thought the price money for the project was too much. “You seem to be more farsighted than me. So el
He continued to watch her and when he saw her fierce, unwavering gaze locked on the powerful men that were obviously twice her age made him realize why George cherished this feisty little woman. There was no expression that stated the fact that she was afraid in the slightest to speak her mind and pointed out the flaws of both the presenters and the executives. She had amazing eyes to be able see through the inconsistencies in the proposal and expertly calculate the actual revenue as well as profits from signing the contract. Where did she learn all of these things? He doubted if she had any idea how dangerous her potential was? People like her are rare and if words about her abilities got out, she would have countless companies fighting for her. Powerful men would use all kinds of dubious means to get her to their side, or worse, if they can't have her then they would permanently remove her from the hand of Lawrence Smith. Damien stared intently at the wall. She was a hidden weapon
Damien's polished leather shoes echoed in the quiet meeting room as he walked towards her. Eva could sense that he was walking but she pretended to not hear anything and continued to submerge herself in the paperwork.Confusion appeared on the executives faces as they watched Damien approach the woman. Why was he suddenly focused on that woman alone?“You're not going to greet me?" Damien inquired, hovering right over her. He stood with hands tucked into his pocket as usual, while staring down at her.He saw the allure of her snow white skin and she continued to work and ignore him. He removed his hand from his pocket and lightly touched her hair and used it to cover her neck. Her hair fell over her like a thick heavy curtain which blocked her view once again and it only annoyed her further. Eva pressed her lips together in frustration and finally raised her head up.Damien's expression remained the same despite the fact that he was slightly happy when he saw her doing so, however th
