That night when they got back to their house, Kevin went to his room and waited for Lily.As she got to the room and was about to lay down on the bed, Kevin looked at her and said confidently“Don’t worry Lily… Drake Jones will not be able to form a deal with the CEO of Williams Media. No one would be able to except you.”After he said this, he didn’t care how Lily would react.He turned around, closed his eyes and went to sleep.Lily was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect Kevin to actually read her mind but what he said really left her speechless.She wasn’t entirely sure if he was right but if she went to talk to Williams Media about the partnership, she would definitely succeed.How could she be so sure that this won’t be done by anyone except her?“He sure do know how to annoy someone!”Lily said to herself.Rolling her eyes, Lily turned off the light and put the whole thing out of her mind and went to sleep.After Lily left for work the next morning, Kevin also headed out.U

The news of the new CEO had already spread around the company.Everyone who saw Kevin smile and greeted him, “One needs to leave good impression on the new CEO.”One of the employees said, smiling wildlyOf course, when they first saw him they felt like his dressing was in contrast to his surroundingsHe took an elevator to the CEO office and after entering his office, he sat on the big leather chair and looked at Claire briefly who entered the room with him.“Do you have anything else to talk to me about?”He flipped open some of the folders on the table and asked casually as he looked at the contents in the folder.Kate and Claire looked at each other.Claire gave Kate a smile to comfort her, she took two steps forward and said,“Sir, about what happened today… I am really very sorry and about the matter of Kate signing her contract,”Claire paused before finishing her sentenceKevin didn’t even raise his head as he chuckled to himself“Sign her contract?”“Yes”Claire awkwardly rep

Recently, Veridonia had been in financial turmoil and the only thriving company in Veridonia, Williams Media had suddenly taken on a young new CEO.Just when several companies in the entertainment industry were dying to work with them, Williams Media was rejecting all of them.They even turned away the larger companies that they had always done business withIt makes sense that the ones that were able to join forces with the Williams Media had to be tied to the wealthiest family in Veridonia or a large company.But this time they were going with the Jones familyIn Veridonia the Jones family were considered to only be a third rate family and Lily was only from a minor branch at the Jones family tree.Most people didn’t even know that she existed.Some people also heard that Drake had approached the Williams Media to discuss their partnership but was rejected.This was even more confusing. Even the ‘Great Drake Jones’ was chased away, how did Lily, this unknown member of the Jones fami

Lily was not comfortable going up to the stage so she just decided to stand by her seat, looking slightly uncomfortable.“Actually, it was nothing at all… when I went over that day, I didn’t get to see the president of Williams Media. It was his secretary who brought me the contract and asked me to sign it.”Everyone was astonished to hear this,“What!? They signed a contract right away?”Someone else said,“So just like Drake, she didn’t get to see the new CEO of Williams Media either.”Another one added,“I thought she was very capable. Painfully, she was just lucky cause she went there when the new CEO of Williams Media was in a good mood and that’s why she got the contract.”Drake who was sitting beside Grandma Jones couldn’t help but sneer when he heard the comments from the crowd.He turned his head to see Grandma Jones reaction but he was already coming up with an idea to get even with Lily for making him look badDrake spoke up loudly so that everyone in the room could hear,“

CHAPTER TWENTYCold sweats were streaming down Drake’s face.He stepped forward and summoned every courage in him to respond,“We will not go back on our word. We will pay for it.”As he spoke he gave a pleading look towards his grandmother.There is no way he could find four hundred thousand dollars this evening so he unconsciously took a step towards grandma Jones like he little poor puppy.Grandma Jones forced a smile and said to Mr. Collins,“It was our fault tonight. Mr. Collins please don’t hold it against us and don’t worry, we’ll get you the money right away.”After saying that, she turned to the Jones family member who were in the banquet hall,“We can’t let Drake pay all the expenses tonight. Each of you should contribute five thousand dollars, the rest of the money will be paid by Drake and me.”Everyone nodded in agreement.They had no choice but they wanted to look like they were okay with it.However, two of them couldn’t hide their concerned and had very embarrassed exp
