At long last, Ariel finally understood why Iris praised Leon for being handsome.She shared the same thoughts as Iris at that moment and felt that Leon's tall, towering figure was the very epitome of handsome!"Hurry... Call the police..."Gilbert inhaled sharply and his once-savage expression took over by panic.He could not understand how a puny secretary like Leon could be so strong!If he did not see it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that it was true!"Enough! What in the world is happening here?" Someone yelled angrily from behind. The voice came from a young man, who approached the scene from nearby with several of the company executives.The young man who led the group over was none other than Jenson.He was startled by the commotion caused by the brawl."Mister Wick..."The onlookers were surprised.Jenson was the grandson of the Wick Group's chairman who served as the company's general manager."You came at just the right time, Mister Wick. Someone
Jenson ignored everyone's surprised looks. He walked quickly to Leon and said with a respectful smile, "What brings you here to our company, Mister Wolf?""Oh, I'm here to discuss a possible cooperation," Leon replied with a smile."Cooperation? Oh, you mean the cooperation between the Elegante Group and the Wick Group? My grandfather just called me and said that he agreed with you to sign the contract during dinner tonight. Why did you come here in advance?" Jenson was surprised.He was solely responsible for the Wick Group's sales channels business, and Bernard spoke to him about it on the phone earlier."Well, this here is Miss Summers, the assistant to our company's president. I've already told her that the cooperation has been negotiated, but she didn't believe me and insisted on coming here with me..." Leon smiled helplessly and briefly explained the entire situation, including Gilbert's harassment in the office."So you weren't lying when you said you already negotiated a c
Jenson smiled, looked at the time on his watch, and said, "It's almost four, Mister Wolf. Might as well stay here and avoid the trouble of having to go back. I was thinking about giving my grandfather a call right now and we can head straight to the hotel for an early dinner? Would that be alright with you?""Sure..." Leon nodded, but he hesitated slightly when he looked at Ariel beside him.Jenson quickly understood what Leon meant and invited Ariel with a smile. "Miss Summers, since you're a friend of Mister Wolf, would you care to join us if it's convenient for you?""Thanks for the invitation." Ariel knew that she was only invited over because of Leon. Her curiosity over his relationship with the Wicks prompted her to agree to Jenson's invitation after some thought....Inside one of the luxurious and exquisite VIP rooms at The Sovereign Hotel, Bernard and Jenson sat with Leon and Ariel at the table.Under Bernard's directions, the waiters began to serve the wine and food, al
Ariel's heart leaped to her throat too. Leon finally helped the company secure an opportunity to cooperate with the Wick Group, so it would be a real shame if the price became a stumbling block."Elder Wick, sir, if you're not satisfied with the price, we can reduce it by a few percentage points. However, we can only drop five percentage points at most. That's the most we will be able to compromise..." Ariel said with the utmost sincerity and brought out her trump card in good faith."No, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean the price was high. I think it's a bit low." Bernard smiled and shook his head."It's… low?" Ariel was stunned and could not believe what she heard.She joined the workforce quite some time already, and in all the negotiations that she went through, the clients have always complained about the price being too high and would usually go all out to try and have it lowered.It was the first time she met someone who said that the price was too low."Indeed. I propo
Leon smiled and briefly explained what happened."You have medical skills? Really? You're not fooling me, are you!" Ariel expressed her surprise.While waiting for the traffic light to turn green at the intersection, she turned her head and looked at Leon with a suspicious expression, as if she looked at an alien.Leon shrugged his shoulders. "Well, duh! Do you think I have nothing better to do than to fool you?"Ariel still did not buy it. "Maybe not, but if you're so skilled in medicine, why would you choose to work in a company as a small-time secretary instead of as a doctor in a hospital?"She had the feeling that Leon was not entirely telling the truth.Leon drank a lot of wine with Jenson in the hotel earlier, and the drunkenness was slowly getting to him. His face turned slightly red and he blurted out, "If you don't believe that I have medical skills, I can prove it to you on the spot!""How?" Ariel was very puzzled.Leon didn't answer. He leaned close to Ariel and sta
"But don't you worry, I'll write you a prescription now. As long as you follow the instructions and take these herbs for three consecutive days, I guarantee that your condition will be cured..."Leon saw that there was just a pen and paper in the car, so he grabbed them and jotted down the prescription."You... Ugh!"Ariel was so embarrassed and ashamed that she wanted to just pounce on Leon and bite Leon.Her suitors came in droves due to her excellence in various aspects, but she was never teased by them until Leon came along!At this moment, the light turned green at the intersection, and all the cars behind her honked at her to start driving.Since Ariel was still not in the best frame of mind, she stepped so abruptly on the gas pedal that she nearly rear-ended the car in front.After finally crossing the intersection, Ariel immediately steered the car to the side of the road and parked there.Leon just finished writing the prescription then. He looked up, glanced out the w
Leon had a resentful expression that looked more like a woman's than a man's."You deserve that for telling me all that stuff..." Ariel chuckled, amused by Leon's resentful expression.Her pretty face unwittingly became warm when she recalled Leon's teasing."I'll just consider myself unlucky then. Happy now?" Leon's expression remained sullen and he walked straight into the company without looking back.Ariel realized that she was in the wrong for what happened earlier, so she ran up to Leon and pulled his arm, saying, "Okay, okay. I know that I made a mistake. I apologize, okay? Please don't be angry with me anymore…""You're… apologizing to me? Are you being serious?" Leon was so surprised that he raised his head and looked suspiciously at Ariel. Not once did it ever cross his mind that someone as arrogant as Ariel would take the initiative to apologize to him. It was almost as impossible as seeing the sun rising from the west.Ariel blushed, "I'm serious. And thanks for helpi
"I haven't let you down, Miss Young. After some hard work and persistence, the Westpraise Group finally made a concession. They agreed to our profit reduction of five percent, and their general manager has already signed the contract. It will take effect immediately as long as you sign it!" Michael smiled proudly and presented the document in his hand to Iris.It was none other than a contract with the Westpraise Group."Amazing! I didn't expect Mister Duvall to negotiate this so quickly. He lives up to his reputation as a professional sales talent and the pillar of our company's future!""Indeed. Mister Duvall is very capable, so much so that the general manager of the Westpraise Group is willing to sign it in advance. This isn't something any random person could achieve!"...The company's executives poured praise on Michael and gave him their stamp of approval."You did well, Mister Duvall. Thank you for your hard work." Iris nodded in affirmation of Michael's ability."You f
