Yvette finished all her work by 4:00 pm. Then, she called Xavier.Xavier was still in a meeting. Since he didn't want the public to know who he was just yet, he handled every meeting online.When the exclusive ringtone he set for Yvette rang, Xavier immediately paused the meeting and answered the call."What's the matter?""When do you get off work today?" Yvette asked.Xavier thought she had already finished for the day. Remembering that he'd promised to pick her up every day, he replied, "I'm off now.""Then send me your location. I'll come to you," Yvette quickly replied.Even though Xavier was surprised, he still said, "No need. I'm already in the car. I'll pick you up right now.""Huh? Do you usually get off so early?" Yvette felt a bit disappointed. She had planned to get off work early to surprise Xavier and cheer him up.Xavier felt puzzled upon hearing her question. "Didn't you already get off work?""I left work early today just to come see you," Yvette answered.H
Flowers? Dessert?Xavier was puzzled. When had he sent Yvette any of those?Jeana's eyes gleamed with provocation. She wanted to make Xavier see Yvette's true colors. A fickle woman like Yvette didn't deserve to be by his side."Mark ordered them. If you want to know, go ask Mark," Xavier replied calmly.Jeana was taken aback; she'd never expected Xavier not to scold Yvette but to cover for her instead. She had heard everything clearly in the restroom—Yvette had been on the phone with Claude and had even thanked him."Xav, are you sure Mark placed the order?" she asked, unwilling to back down.Xavier lost his patience. "Who could have done it if it wasn't Mark? You?"Jeana was momentarily speechless. She couldn't retort.Standing nearby, Yvette was also surprised. Xavier was clearly defending her.…While resting in their room alone that evening, Yvette finally explained to Xavier, "Claude was the one who sent me flowers and the desserts to the office."Xavier had been waiti
Meanwhile, Yvette had only been at work for a short time when she returned from the restroom to find everyone at the headquarters thanking her."Ms. Snyder, thank you for treating us to lunch today.""Ms. Snyder, how did you manage to get a five-star restaurant to cater for us? We even got to choose the dishes in advance.""Ms. Snyder, you've really gone all out."As Yvette returned to the office from the restroom, everyone she encountered was expressing their gratitude. She could only respond in confusion, feeling perplexed as to when she had invited employees to a meal.A five-star restaurant?Was this Claude's doing again?Finally, Yvette made it back to her office. All the secretaries in the office were looking at her with smiles. "Thank you, Ms. Snyder!"Jeana, begrudgingly and sarcastically, added, "Yvette, Xav sure is generous. He even treated all the employees at the headquarters to five-star restaurant food."Xav treated all the headquarters employees?Was it Xavie
"Refuse it?" The employees in the office couldn't believe it. "But why?"They finally had the chance to enjoy a free feast, and now they were being told to turn it down. What kind of joke was that?The assistant couldn't directly say it was Marlene's decision, so he tactfully explained, "The sales department is quite busy. Let's all work hard. In the future, there will be plenty of money, and we can eat wherever we want."The employees were devastated. It was a known fact that since Marlene had taken over as their leader, not only had their performance declined, but she had also been unwilling to give out the commissions they deserved.If it hadn't been for the fact that they had gotten used to working at Titan Corporation and had families to support, no one would have wanted to continue putting up with this."Ha! With the little money we earn now, forget about eating at a five-star restaurant; we have to think twice about dining at a regular place."The money they made had to
Jackie watched as everyone gathered together outside, enjoying their food and chatting happily. She went to her desk alone and waited until her takeaway arrived to eat.Yvette noticed that Jackie had ordered takeout for herself and couldn't help but ask, "Did you forget about Ms. Wurth?"One secretary replied, "Yvvy, your good intentions won't matter to her at all."Another chimed in, "She's the kind of person who likes to stand out like a lone wolf and thinks that's how the big bosses will take more notice of her."The last secretary also said, "Yvvy, you're pregnant, so don't allow her aloofness to upset you."After hearing what they said, Yvette didn't ask any more questions. She just focused on eating her specially prepared pregnancy meal.She was becoming increasingly curious about Jackie.Yvette was quite sure that Jackie wasn't the type to ignore someone being nice. Just yesterday, she thanked her for the desserts.Jackie was sitting nearby having her meal and being clos
"This was the contract you signed, and now, just after two days, the other party wants to terminate it forcefully," Marlene said.Yvette ignored her and focused on reading through the contents of the termination contract.Was Hanstein Group actually willing to pay Titan Corporation three times the compensation for breaching the contract just to terminate the agreement?"Why would Ms. Hanstein engage in such a losing business venture?""Who knows? But anyway, we've been forced to terminate the contract now. What were we going to do with the goods in the warehouse? They all have expiration dates."Marlene was currently in charge of food sales, and Hanstein Group was considered one of the top buyers in Tirion.If Hanstein Group canceled the contract, then the goods from Titan Corporation would likely go to waste.Even though compensation was provided for contract termination and this batch of goods wouldn't be affected, losing a partner like Hanstein Group meant it was only a matte
As soon as those words were spoken, there was a moment of dead silence, which was then followed by a burst of conversation from all around."IM Enterprise strikes again. Not only did they take one of our partners, but now they've taken Hanstein Group too?""They are so wealthy. They just don't stop.""IM Enterprise's presence in Tirion has been a real nuisance. I suspect it's a foreign company."Everyone was busy chiming in with their own thoughts.Marlene also hadn't expected that the real reason was that another company had poached their collaboration.She was still not satisfied and said, "After listening to the recording, it sounds like you and Ms. Hanstein are quite familiar. Could it be that you're the one who told her about IM Enterprise?"She just wouldn't stop smearing Yvette's name and throwing her under the bus, huh?"Ms. Larson, I just answered this question for you. Are you forgetful or just not using your brain? I'll say it again. If I had told Ms. Hanstein about
Ever since IM Enterprise arrived in Tirion, it dominated almost all the other companies there.Because of their lack of understanding of IM Enterprise, Titan Corporation ended up at a disadvantage. Everyone was just thinking about how to keep IM Enterprise from becoming too complacent, and no one dared to consider taking away IM Enterprise's clients. Yvette was the first to do so.Jeremiah listened to what Yvette said and felt a great deal of admiration for her.He was fed up with being passive for a long time, so it was definitely time for him to take the initiative.Yvette continued, "I believe no company's funds are limitless. Now, with IM Enterprise putting in considerable effort to secure a contract with Hanstein Group, why not take advantage of this opportunity to win back some of the projects they took from us?""Will this work?" a senior executive asked doubtfully.Another senior member of Titan Corporation said, "No. Things aren't the same as when Mr. Lane was in charge
