"If Ms. Miller had a way, and it was convenient for her to do so, she would've done it long ago. So, it's still up to you," Hilda replied helplessly.The decision to place that bet was a wrong one.That had happened because of Henry—that bastard! There was nothing they could do about it.Cecilia walked back with a puzzled expression. When her team members saw her return, they immediately focused on her.They knew they had no chance when they saw how disappointed she looked.Everyone then glared at Henry.However, everyone had learned their lesson from before. None of them said anything. They just looked at Henry with dissatisfaction."Henry, come here."Cecilia pulled Henry aside."Henry, are you playing a trick on me?" Cecilia asked."Absolutely not. Why would you think that?""Why did you claim that a few million dollars is nothing? You clearly don't have a solution. What else are you up to if you're not playing a trick on me?" Cecilia said angrily."Who says I don't have
"Wait! Who?"Skyline Corporation? Dustin Hopper?"He's the most famous business tycoon at the moment. Do you think I'm a fool for you to trick me like this?"Cecilia was filled with rage.'Shouldn't he make up something more reasonable if he wanted to deceive me? No, he shouldn't lie to me.'"Why would I want to deceive you? How can Skyline Corporation's main office be wrong? When you find the building, just go straight to Mr. Hopper," Henry replied helplessly."But—""There are no buts; the opportunity has been presented to you. If you still don't believe me, there's nothing I can do about it."Cecilia decided to try it, given the situation. "Okay, I'll go. However, what type of contract should I bring?""You can bring whatever you want!""I mean—what's being sold and at what price? Without negotiation?""There's no need to negotiate. You can sell whatever you want. Just act accordingly."To put it bluntly, we can sell anything as long as the Skyline Corporation requires i
"Yes, I'm Cecilia."Cecilia nodded immediately. Her business card bore the title of a manager."That's correct then. Please come this way. Mr. Hopper is waiting for you upstairs." The beautiful lady seemed very polite."Mr. Hopper is waiting for me?"Cecilia was immediately flattered. Dustin had only been in business for a short time, but his status was extraordinary. It was difficult for any leaders to meet him.The beautiful lady nodded.Cecilia's heart rate accelerated; she was nervous.'Henry didn't arrange this, right? How can this be possible? If Henry were so powerful, why would he join the company and take on such a low-level sales position?'Even Lydia would not receive such an honor, let alone Henry.Could the beautiful lady have gotten the wrong person?That must be it. Cecilia had no choice but to take one step at a time.The beautiful lady escorting them also wondered why Dustin would want to meet with the Miller Group's lowest-level manager. Cecilia must be a b
"What?" Cecilia and the others were completely taken aback by that statement. Dustin was waiting for them when they arrived.It was an unbelievable turn of events, leaving them completely stunned. Dustin chuckled at their surprised looks. It appeared that Henry had not informed them of his true identity.Cecilia eventually recovered and said, "Please don't mind me asking, Mr. Hopper. Do you know Henry?""Of course, he asked me to take care of all of you," Dustin responded confidently. Dustin saw no reason to keep it hidden because Henry had not asked him to. It might even earn him some respect from Henry.'He really knew Henry!'And it was Henry who had told him to welcome them.'They were shocked and had realized what had happened.At that point, they realized why Dustin was being so polite. Even the secretary was dumbfounded when it was revealed that Henry was the real big shot.Cecilia began to doubt her own ears, but it was undeniable, especially given what Henry had told h
Henry was surprised and shook his head in silence, wondering why Dustin had revealed their relationship.He was fed up with some people's ugly brown-nosing expressions, so he said, "You don't need to worry about that, and don't tell anyone what happened today."Cecilia was taken aback and asked, "How can we claim credit for you if we don't mention anything?""I don't need that kind of credit," Henry replied, shaking his head indifferently."Oh, okay," Cecilia said.After hanging up the phone, Cecilia immediately remembered Henry's previous mention of settling the 4.5 million dollar repayment.'If he didn't want credit for today's 7.5-million-dollar contract, why would he possibly claim credit for that?'He could casually order Dustin around—wouldn't it be easy to collect the repayment and claim credit for it?'He must have handled the repayment. But why did Lydia claim she did it?'She could not understand the upper management's issues anyway. She would not say anything becaus
"Henry, I'll ask you one last time—what's going on?" Lydia asked angrily.Henry looked helpless and replied, "Well, he owed me a favor."Lydia understood it better then. Lydia expected it to be about repaying a favor."When did you help him?" she asked."During the incident with the Seltzers. You know I had a disagreement with them. Dustin thought this would help him somehow, so he allowed me to ask him for assistance," Henry said casually."And then you used that chance for this?" Lydia listened, slightly annoyed. It was a massive waste of an opportunity.Dustin was undoubtedly the most sought-after guy then. He was very mysterious, which most people did not understand or could not relate to. It was a massive opportunity.Henry did not appear to see it that way."Yes, why not use it if necessary? Leaving it unused would be a waste, right?"Lydia grinned wryly.She said, 'Well, Henry is just a man from the mountains; his perspective is limited.'"Alright, then. Thank you for
"What?""Henry?""Did he really secure a big contract?""Didn't they say he took credit for the 4.5 million dollar repayment?"Everyone looked at each other suspiciously, as if they did not fully believe in Henry's abilities."Don't doubt it. It was an issue that I personally handled. Henry was responsible for finalizing the transaction. And it's a huge contract," Cecilia said, smiling."How much is it?" someone asked excitedly.Cecilia held out seven fingers."Seven million dollars?""No, that's not enough. Is it 7.5 million dollars?""How is that possible?""What's impossible? It's indeed 7.5 million dollars!"Even after a whole night, Cecilia was still excited about it. It had been quite some time since their sales department achieved such a large sales amount in a single transaction."Oh, my god!" Everyone was excited and shocked!Henry shook his head. "Aren't you afraid the opposite team will counter us if you announce it now, Ms. Leon?""I don't think so. It's almo
Cecilia could not help but look at Henry, who sat at the back. He was calm, as if nothing bothered him, and showed no signs of nervousness. However, he was also a participant in that bet. That was why Melinda insisted on him being present.Just then, Melinda spoke up."Ms. Miller, Ms. Wood, and all corporate executives, I'm sorry to interrupt, but I believe there's a problem with this data."Everyone was surprised. Lydia's expression darkened. She sensed something was wrong but recovered quickly. She then asked gently, "What's the problem?""Our sales data is incorrect. A 4.5-million-dollar sales figure wasn't entered in time," Melinda said while handing over a new contract.Cecilia's heart sank as she remembered what Henry had said—if they acted too soon, their opponent might plan a counterattack. Henry only agreed to let her go to Skyline Corporation after her insistence.She could not help but glance at Henry again, who appeared calm. However, he must be feeling uncomfortable.
