Dale's face contorted with scornful laughter as he casually shrugged off Dylan's seemingly empty threats, dismissing them without a second thought. He couldn't fathom what Dylan possessed that could possibly bring his company to bankruptcy. It was all a ridiculous joke in his eyes.As Dylan made his way towards the ground floor reception area, he noticed a group of individuals gathered around the counter, seemingly waiting for someone. However, he paid them no mind and continued towards the exit."Hey, isn't that Dylan Clifford?" a voice called out, causing Dylan to turn and gaze at the individual with a puzzled expression."I heard you were seeking Manager Carter for an explanation regarding your... girlfriend. Yes, he contacted me and yes, I am Jonah Blaine," Jonah said with a sardonic smile, his words laced with contempt. "So, did he satisfy your demands?"The others behind Jonah sneered mockingly, observing the interaction with amusement.Dylan maintained a composed demeanor as he

Still seated in Dale's office, he asserted, "Before I conclude my visit here, I want you to retrieve the details of the client Allison is currently dealing with."Dale nodded and promptly instructed his secretary to proceed to the sales department.Shortly after, the secretary returned with the requested client information."Master Dylan, this is the information you requested," the secretary respectfully placed a set of files in front of Dylan. As she observed him, her eyes sparkled with admiration.Who could have anticipated that an ordinary individual like him would suddenly become the largest shareholder of the company? Moreover, the former general manager, Dale Carter, now stood beside Dylan with utmost respect.

In an upscale Western restaurant located in Flame City, Albertson Grey clearly had too much to drink as he began making inappropriate advances toward Allison."Ms. Adams, do you think you're better than me just because you focus on eating rather than drinking?" Mr. Grey extended his hand with the intention of placing it on Allison's thigh. However, she skillfully evaded his touch, causing him to immediately put on a serious expression."There seems to be a misunderstanding here, Manager Grey. I have been feeling unwell lately, which is why I am unable to drink," Allison quickly replied with a smile, although deep down she was infuriated and wanted the encounter to end.If she had a choice, she would prefer to be nowhere near him."Ms. Adams, if that's the case, then I believe our discussion is over," Mr. Grey threatened and said further, "You should be aware that while NovaTech Electronics is the sole producer of peepholes in the entire Flame City, the quality of its products cannot co

Albertson Grey was filled with anxiety.He could make out that Mr. Brown was very angry. If he did not handle this matter correctly, he truly believed in Mr. Brown’s words that he would not be allowed to make a living in Flame City anymore.With Mr. Brown’s power, he could crush a small fry like him at any given moment.However, what he couldn't understand was why Allison, with her connections to people like Lord Owens, would choose to work as a salesperson in a small company. Despite his doubts, he didn't dare question the validity of Mr. Brown's words."Ms. Adams, please wait!" Mr. Grey hurriedly chased after Allison as they left the private room. “What do you want?” Allison looked at Mr. Grey warily. After they exited the private room, she wasn't afraid that Mr. Grey would do something to her.“Ms. Adams, I'm really sorry. I was blind for not recognizing your status. Please forgive me and I will sign the contract with you immediately.” Mr. Grey fawned over her excessively as he sm

The news of Allison successfully closing the deal with Evergreen Real Estate quickly spread throughout the company, creating a buzz of disbelief among the staff, especially those in the sales department. After all, their Sales Director, Jonah, had been unable to seal the deal despite dedicating more than a month to it.The commission for this particular business deal amounted to a substantial sixty to seventy thousand dollars, a sum that could sustain someone for months. The achievement was noteworthy, regardless of who closed the deal."Allison Adams, you've certainly made an impression. You managed to close a deal that Director Blaine couldn't secure in nearly two months, and you did it within just two days! It seems like being attractive can be an advantage," one male salesperson remarked, hinting at a different implication."That's right! Beautiful women naturally have the upper hand in this industry," added another salesperson, making a peculiar comment.Allison frowned at their

Allison’s mouth hung open as she tried to say, “Director, I...” She also knew that the possibility of getting this project was slim to none; it was nearly impossible.And as a newly promoted supervisor, of course, she didn't want to waste her time on a project that was impossible.Then Jonah continued, “I mean, we should give chances to those with potential, right? You've just been promoted to supervisor, don't you have to set an example for everyone?”“Yeah, Supervisor Adams. Didn't you manage to get the project that everyone deemed impossible too? As long as you try, I'm sure that you'll get it this time.” Someone said.“That’s right, Supervisor Adams. The company promoted you because they believe in your potential. You should have faith in yourself too!”Everyone was encouraging Allison.Jonah smiled smugly as this was the result he wanted.He cleared his throat and said seriously, “Allison Adams, although you were promoted, not many were convinced by your performance. Take this as

He arrived at the coffee shop, saw Princess Mane, and walked up to her.After sitting down, he said, "I've got somewhere to be three hours from now, Jessica. Is this something of urgency?""No. I just wanted to talk to you. Is that a problem?" She questioned him with a raised eyebrow.Dylan simply s

An hour before the management meeting, Jonah Blaine spent a lot of effort to make himself look presentable. He looked energetic.To prevent Allison from possibly overtaking him, he must build a good impression on the new shareholder, and whatever alliance Dylan had with Dale Carter, will become useless.All he just had to do is get the new shareholder's approval and get him on his side."Supervisor Adams, it's almost time now! The new shareholder has possibly arrived and we do not want to keep him waiting. Let's go!" Jonah looked over at Allison who was standing nearby, a hint of taunt flashed across his face."Alright," Allison replied.She kept the proposal that she made for the Maple Meadows Fair Haven Mansion Project and headed to the meeting room along with Jonah.She was curious about the new shareholder too.
