As for the staff who were working in Winters Corporation, even the receptionist would think of herself as someone of higher status, so she would never pay attention to gossip on the Internet. Therefore, the receptionist did not recognize Adina. She just merely thought that the woman was good looking, and she could be the most beautiful woman she had ever met. “Ahem.” Adina covered her lips and gently cleared her throat. Only then did the receptionist suddenly snap out of her daze. “Oh, sorry. Do you want to go to the CEO’s office?” Adina nodded. “Do you have an appointment?” the receptionist continued to ask. “No.” Adina shook her head indifferently. “I have a verbal appointment with Mr. Winters.”When the receptionist heard that, her impressed gaze was filled with some contempt. Countless people came to the company to look for Mr. Winters, and among them were beautiful, alluring, and sexy women… Although this woman looked much better than those who had visited pre
Adina looked up. When she saw the man who had suddenly appeared in front of her, she casually said, “Oh, it’s you, Mr. Sunderland. I was wondering who was blocking me at the entrance.”The corner of Trent’s lips twitched.Why was this woman so sharp-tongued?He had not done anything, yet she had just criticized him.Could he still keep his dignity?“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”Adina started walking.Trent subconsciously grabbed her arm. He had yet to clarify things.But before he could speak, he felt dizzy.At the next second, he was thrown to the floor.Previously, the ground in Riverview Pavillion had been covered in grass, so he did not feel pain when he hit the ground. This time, however, the floor was marble-tiled. He felt as if his bones were about to break apart.When Eilam saw what happened, he gasped.Ms. Daugherty was truly not an easy person to deal with.He immediately went over and helped his buddy up.“Adina, are you mad?” Trent was so an
Duke nodded. “She’s really capable. You’ll know when you see her later.”This R&D Project regarding automotive intelligent systems was by their team of three. It was considered an internal collaboration among three companies.They failed to find a suitable smart chip designer previously, so the project had been delayed.The day before yesterday, Duke had suddenly called them, and they had been incredibly surprised. This project was considered the first of its kind in the country. People who were not capable or gifted would not be able to bear the burden. The two of them were very curious about the person whom Duke had complimented as capable.Time slowly passed while they chatted.The three of them waited for almost half an hour.Even the good-tempered Eilam also felt slightly irritated. He frowned and said, “This genius is really not punctual.”Duke frowned coldly.Was that woman still in the hospital?He called his secretary to come to his office. “Call Ms. Daugherty.”His
Jake narrowed his eyes. “Do you know how long Mr. Winters, Mr. Sunderland, and Mr. Walker have waited for Ms. Daugherty?”The receptionist’s face turned pale. “Mr. Wilson, she told me that she hadn't made an appointment, so I just took action according to the company’s policy. I didn’t do anything wrong, did I? She-She didn't state her identity either. How could I know have known that she was Mr. Winters’ guest?”“Alright, you better think of a way to explain this to Mr. Winters.”Jake cast a cold glance at her before he turned around and returned to the CEO’s office.The receptionist’s legs lost all strength, and she nearly fell.Meanwhile, Adina was driving toward her studio.Ethan had found the studio for her, and it was in a strategic location.The office was a hundred square meters in size. It looked small as well as exquisite, and every corner was filled with warmth.Before she started working, her phone vibrated. It was an incoming call from Jake."Hello, Mr. Wilson," s
At that time, Ms. Daugherty and Duke would work together to beat Trent up. He would not help him. Trent seemed to think of something as he hunched his shoulders and said, “I have slept with a lot of women, so it’s nothing for me to sleep with one less woman. Duke just slept with one woman once in his life, so he really needs a woman to brighten his life up. I’ll quit then. Is that okay?” When Duke heard his name, he turned back and coldly asked, “What did you say?” “Nothing.” Eilam covered Trent’s mouth and followed Duke into the car. Adina was busy with some miscellaneous matters in her office. After she was done with those tasks, she went online and published some advertisements for hiring. Before she could send out the advertisements, someone knocked on her office door. She thought the property owner had come for the registration, but when she opened the door, she saw three people.She curled her lips and smiled. “I didn’t expect you to cast your nobility aside and
“Mr. Winters, Mr. Sunderland, Mr. Walker, do you have any questions?”Adina sat down and glanced at the three people nonchalantly.Trent stroked his chin. “I don’t understand many of the terms that you’ve mentioned, but because I don’t understand, you seem very professional. I don’t have any opinions.”“Ms. Daugherty, you really live up to your title as a smart chip designer.” Eilam sincerely gave her a big thumbs-up. “With your participation in Project A-F, I believe the designed car will be available as scheduled.”Duke nodded indifferently. “Let’s sign the contract.”Eilam took out the contract that he had brought along. There were some empty spaces for the profit sharing and signatures.Trent was the first to say, “The project's profit is distributed evenly among the three companies: Winters, Sunderland, and Walker. Since Ms. Daugherty is joining us, we’ll give the remaining 10% to her.”Ten percent profit of such a huge project was actually considered very high.Just as Ad
“Stop talking crap then.” Eilam rolled his eyes at Trent.“Was it my fault?” Trent felt quite wronged. “The Internet said she gave birth to two stillborns, so I thought her kids died a long time ago. But she's going to pick her kids up in preschool. What’s going on, guys?”“Two of her kids are still alive. They didn’t die. Don’t say such things again,” Duke said indifferently.Trent appeared totally shocked before he gulped. “So, she has two kids, and you have two kids too. If you get together, there's going to be four kids in total! Oh, my gosh, isn’t the house going to be chaotic?”Duke cast a cold glance at him. “Who says we'll be together?”“Fine, just deny it!” Trent scoffed. “Adina's so beautiful. I'm guessing a lot of men want to be her children's stepfather. If you act too slow, don't come complaining to us.”Duke recalled the scenario in the hospital yesterday.She truly did not lack a man.He just wondered if that man was her children's biological father or just the
When Adina arrived at The Rock Bar, she pushed open the door to a private room and went inside. Soon after, she saw that Flint had been tied and thrown on the floor. “Addy, you’re finally here…” Flint wiggled over like a caterpillar.Just then, he was kicked to the side by a man in a black suit.The man in the black suit walked over with a cigarette. “Did you bring the money?”Adina threw the box over. “Five million dollars, not a penny less.”The man in the black suit threw the box to his people behind him to let them count the money. The group checked for ten minutes before they were done.Adina grabbed Flint by the collar and walked outside.“Addy, I’m sorry. Please don’t be mad. I won't hang out in a place like this again.”“Mad at you? Ha! Do I have the time?” Adina pushed him strongly. “I'm warning you. If you get into this kind of trouble again, don’t call me!”This man was already twenty-five years old, but he was still getting into blackmailing situations. Who woul
