"Ms. Fordham, the shareholders' voting is today. You shouldn't be here. "If you want to wait for Mr. Miller, I suggest you wait at the VIP guest room."Ethan hid her very well all these years.

Ethan explained the whole story to Olivia in his office.In fact, he had long known that Darrell was getting in touch with his men.

Two days ago, she came across a content regarding the business scenarios in real life.But the description was nothing compared to this. She thought, "Shouldn't it be like the boss asks me to remove the cable in the competitor's building or use black magic to ruin their business development?"Ethan grazed her nose. "You're drooling.""I mean, you can tell me more about your studd. Otherwise, I'll feel like I'm a good-for-nothing."Her adorable expression made him chuckle. "I don't really wanna drag you into this.""Since we've averted the company crisis, what about Mara's case? Kelvin and Brent are still detained. I heard the Fi

In an underground garage, Darrell stood there with a stormy expression. His phone was called by a virtual number. He picked up and said coldly, "If you want to make fun of me. I suggest you keep it to yourself." "I'm calling to offer you a job." "Oh?""I know you have spent a lot of money over the years. I have a billion-dollar job. Interested?""Tell me about it."
