Thinking that Harrison probably had some urgent matters to attend to back home, Gwyneth shook her head. “Nope, nothing lest.”
She had come to Calvocity just to see Pamela, and now she had seen her. There was nothing here worth lingering for
Gwyneth and Harrison flew back to Joracity. As soon as they landed, someone came to pick up Harrison. He had wanted to give Gwyneth a ride. but she declined, saying she wanted to walk around for a bit,
She had just reached the subway station when she got a call from Flora
*Ms. Jenkins, I’ve got a lunch meeting with some investors today, Flora said. “This was originally Melanie’s project, but now
Gwyneth wasn’t sure if this was another mess Melanie had left behind. She glanced at the time and figured she had enough.
“Send me the address. I’ll take the subway straight there,” she told Flora. “Wait for me at the restaurant.”
If these were truly promising investors, she was determined to hold on to them.
Following the address Flora had sent. Gwyneth rushed over.
Jas soon as she entered the private dining room, she saw a group of fashionably dressed men sitting together. On closer inspection, they were all young men in luxury brands, wearing wristwatches worth hundreds of thousands of dollars–definitely potential investors.
Gwyneth was about to introduce herself when a young man in the center whistled
“Are all your managers this hot? With a figure like that, you’ve got us all flustered and we don’t even know how to talk business,” he said with a grin.
Gwyneth sized him up. The young man looked to be in his early twenties, with an arrogant and overbearing expression. Since he hadn’t introduced himself, Gwyneth had no intention of doing so either.
She simply pulled out a chair and sat down, smiling. Thanks for the compliment. But I’m not into guys who are all skin and bones. If you’re serious about inventing, you should show me a little more respect, right?”
AL
her words, the young men’s faces darkened instantly, Clearly, Gwyneth had just implied that they were too thin.
“Ms. Jenkins,” a voice came from behind Gwyneth.
She turned around and saw Adrian. She was a bit surprised, but quickly corrected his address. “Adrian, you should call me Aunt Gwyneth now, right”
“We’re around the same age; there’s no need for such formalities, Adrian said. As he walked into the room, the young men quickly cleared a spot in the center for him.
1 didn’t expect Jenkins Group to send you to talk about the project. Looks like we have quite the connection, Adrian said in a flirtatious tone, with no respect. His gaze also had a hint of possessiveness.
Since this wasn’t the first time he’d looked at her like that, Gwyneth’s expression turned stern. “Mr. Lopez, it seems you’re not here to discuss cooperation. Then there’s no need for us to continur”
She called Flora over and prepared to leave,
At that moment, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open. Melanie stormed in and immediately saw Adrian in the center of the group. She instantly thought Gwyneth was trying to steal Adrian away from her
“Gwyneth, you’ve already taken the position of deputy general manager. Why are you trying to steal Adrian’s deal from me?” Melanie demanded.
Gwyneth thought Melanie really had no sense of timing when it came to throwing tantrums. T’m just doing my job, she explained. “It’s reasonable for me to handle this project”
“You
Melanie was so angry that her chest heaved violently. She couldn’t help but stamp her font, causing her boobs to bounce.
Seeing this, the young men across the table whistled meaningfully and started to tease.
The chick who just walked in is also here for business? With a figure like dut, I thought she was some hostess someone ordered ”
“Hey, you’re late and ruined our drinking vibe. Why don’t you come over here and cheer me up!”
The group acted like thugs, practically undressing Melanie with their eyes, while only Adrian didn’t look at her. He kept staring at Gwyneth.

Melanie’s face turned ashen. She couldn’t believe Adrian had been so quickly captivated by Gwyneth
Gwyneth, seeing the situation getting noisy again, felt a headache coming on. She blocked Melinie with her body and then turned her head.
