Chapter 240 Her?
Nathan turned around with a smile. “Uncle Zenith, I forgot something in the car, so I was just going to go get it.”
Zenith knew very well that it was just an excuse, so he frowned and said, “Come see me after getting it. I have something to discuss with you.”
Nathan could only nod and agree. Ten minutes later, he sat in front of Zenith. When he heard Zenith’s request, his eyes lit up. “That is a good idea. Don’t you know that Royden Group is also working with Eyer Group recently. If we could–”
“Why do you bring that rascal up all of a sudden? Your cousin is going to be fully in charge of working with Eyer Group.” “What?” Nathan took a sharp breath. He could almost visualize the anger on Edgar.
“What? Can’t he do that? Even though he’s not as experienced in management, he had followed up several major projects abroad. With your help, I believe that it won’t be a problem for him.” Zenith had always been a strict person, and Nathan was no exception to his rules.
Apart from that, he had managed to build a big company, and he was a man of his words. Hence, Nathan revered him deeply.
Nevertheless, with Edgar in mind, he said, “Uncle Zenith, you have been abroad, so you don’t really understand the situation right now. Actually, Jean and Edgar–”
At this moment, Jensen walked through the door. “Dad, I passed the car to Jean.”
They gave her a car? Nathan immediately paid attention. This pair of father and son is really swift at taking action. They have only been back for a few days, yet they are already planning to work with Eyer Group. In fact, they have already spoken to her.
The more Nathan thought about it, the more he found the current situation unfavorable, and he called Edgar immediately. “Edgar, it’s not that I refuse to help you, but if you continue to take action slowly, Jean might be my cousin-in-law soon.”
After hearing the intel, Edgar frowned. “Impossible. He’s not her type.”
“Even if she doesn’t like a warm and caring person, do you think she’ll like you?” Nathan went straight to the point. “Yes, you are good-looking and rich, but do you even understand women?”
Apart from Jean, the only other woman he was in close contact with was Gigi.
To be honest, it was Gigi who kept pushing herself at him. Apart from them, he had not been in contact with any other women.
From Nathan’s perspective, even though Edgar was quite popular among women, he had no idea how to communicate with them.
Edgar put his phone down with a frown.
Right at this moment, Miles walked into the room to pass some documents to him. His gaze was so cold that Miles felt a chill down his spine.
“Yes, Mr. Royden?” After placing the documents on the table, he did not even dare to move.
“Do you have a girlfriend?”
He was stunned for a moment before replying, “I just got engaged with my girlfriend.”
“So… what would you do if you get into a fight with her?”
“Did you have a fight with Ms. Reece?” Miles blurted, but he immediately regretted that. If it’s related to Gigi, he won’t even ask me such questions.
“Usually giving them flowers or jewelry is a good choice,” Miles suggested.
“Jewelry?” Edgar muttered.
Right at this moment, someone knocked on the door.
“Mr. Royden, Mr. Shaw and the other stakeholders are already at the meeting room.”
Looking contemplative, he walked to the meeting room.
Since the project with Eyer Group was almost ending, the stakeholders were arguing about the resulting profit.
They seemed to be against Eyer Group, but in reality, it was Andy who fanned the flames in order to give Edgar a hard time.
After a long argument, no conclusion was reached.
“Look at how red your faces are when you’re arguing. What a joke!” Edbert frowned and snorted. “We have already signed the contract with Eyer Group, and I got news that Jean is already preparing for it. Her office is right opposite ours.” With that, he pointed out of the window.
The stakeholders turned around to look in that direction. Nevertheless, some of them were still not satisfied by the answer. “Even so, she doesn’t have anyone to work on the deal. How ludicrous!”
In an instant, the focus went back to Jean.
However, Edgar looked at them and said, “So what do you want?”
“We should send a manager over to keep an eye on the progress.”
“That’s right. I think this manager has to be an experienced and capable person from the project department.”
More importantly, he had to be taking orders from Andy – they only had one goal after all.
Suddenly, Edgar smiled coldly before asking, “It seems like none of you got the latest news. Didn’t you know that Zenith Rocher is going to work with her as well?”
“What?”
“Zenith has been abroad, and has only returned recently. I heard that his wealth is even more prominent than before. The entire economy around the region would be impacted simply from a simple decision from him.”
“Was Jean this capable? How did she get his support?”
In an instant, the atmosphere in the room changed.
The few stakeholders who had been arguing fiercely until then kept their heads low.
“We’re done with this topic.” With that, Edgar got up and left.
Sitting in the vice-president seat, Andy looked murderous.
“Good one, Jean. I’ve underestimated you.”
He then got up and left with his assistant.
Looking at the stakeholders around him, Edbert shook his head with a smile. “You guys are too focused on money. You have to look at the bigger picture and have a good look at the person leading Royden Group.”
The stakeholders exchanged silent looks, not understanding what he meant.
He waved and sighed. “Forget it. I’m not here to intervene.”
Just as he stood up, his assistant whispered something into his ear, making him freeze momentarily.
“Let him be.”
…
“Sir, this is one of the works from Luna, our designer. You can have a look at it,” the salesperson recommended to Edgar.
He narrowed his eyes without replying. This looks familiar. Where have I seen this?
“A few other designs over here are also by her.”
As soon as she finished speaking, someone walked through the door, and her voice was quite familiar as well.
“Have my pearls arrived?” Jean was wearing the staff uniform, with her hair neatly tucked behind her ears, revealing her exquisite collarbones and a pair of moon-shaped earrings.
She had been working on the desk for more than an hour, and her neck felt sore, so she massaged it as she walked out.
However, she frowned immediately when she saw Edgar in front of the counter.
“Luna, you’re just in time. He’s very interested in the bracelet you designed. Why don’t you do the introduction instead?” she suggested with a smile. Then, she whispered, “He’s one of our VVIPs!”
Though she meant well, Jean was not happy about it at all.
Being pushed to Edgar reluctantly, she asked in an annoyed voice, “What would you like to know?”
She would like to keep a clear line between her job and her personal life, hence she treated him like a regular customer without clarifying their relationship.
He frowned coldly as he took the bracelet casually. “Why don’t you put it on?”
