Chapter 201
The rain was getting heavier, and the corridor was already half-soaked.
Eva tugged at the scarf around her neck.
She didn’t expect the weather in America to be this cold.
Once she stood still, Eva’s mind became somewhat absent, thinking about the sound of “Mr. Blackwood” tonight p>
Indeed, as always, her emotions wouldn’t fluctuate when she heard this surname.
But she knew that the “Mr. Blackwood” tonight was not the same “Mr. Blackwood” she had encountered during her previous job.
This was America, this was Chicago, and there was only one person who could afford six hundred million dollars so casually and be invited here. It’s been five years since they last met.
Eva took a deep breath, then turned and walked in the opposite direction.
“Ms. Hansen p>
After a few steps, a tall and handsome figure blocked her path.
Eva was momentarily stunned and looked at the person.
The man was wearing a blue suit, his tie neatly done. When he saw her looking up, he curled his lips and introduced himself directly.
“Hello, my name is Henry p>
Henry? The heir of the Davis family that David and he were discussing just now?
Seeing her distracted, Henry raised an eyebrow. “Ms. Hansen, don’t you recognize me? After all, I’ve sent you several job invitations. It would be quite hurtful if you don’t know who I am, wouldn’t it p>
“Not really.” Eva shook his hand in return. “It’s just curious to see Mr. Davis here p>
Eva indeed didn’t know what the new heir of the Davis Group looked like. She was too busy at the time and didn’t have time to see.
But that didn’t stop her from pretending to know the other person.
In the future, she would have to build good relationships with these companies when starting her own company in Chicago.
Henry hesitated for a moment when he felt the softness of her hand, then regained his composure.
Eva withdrew her hand.
After a few seconds of scanning her, Henry asked, “Why did Ms. Hansen come out p>
“I’ve been sitting for a while, so I came out to get some fresh air p>
“I see.” Henry raised an eyebrow. “Ms. Hansen, you’ve rejected my job invitations several times. May I ask why p>
“After all, the conditions I offer are much better than what you had in your previous company,” said Eva, thinking for a moment and deciding not to mention her plan to start her own company at this time. She continued, “I’m sorry, my refusal is for personal reasons, unrelated to the terms.” Henry, being a respectable person, didn’t inquire further when she mentioned it was personal.
“Well, then I can only hope that Ms. Hansen resolves her personal matters soon, so that I can invite you to join the Davis Group,” he said. Hearing this, Eva hesitated, about to say something, but then she saw Henry taking off his suit jacket and draping it over her shoulders.
“Ms. Hansen, you should dress warmly the next time you go out, so you don’t catch a cold,” he said. Eva replied, “I still have something to attend to, so I’ll take my leave.” Henry, with his assistant, walked away without saying much. Eva’s lips trembled, thinking about calling him back, but Henry and her assistant returned. “Ms. Hansen, I forgot to ask for your contact information earlier,” he said. After obtaining her contact details, Henry left contentedly, his lips curled high. The assistant followed behind cautiously and asked, “Mr. Davis, you gave your jacket to Ms. Hansen, aren’t you cold p>
“What’s cold?” Henry raised an eyebrow, joyfully. “My most important task at the moment is to win her heart. What’s with that expression? Weren’t you the one who suggested I use some romantic tactics before?” The assistant scratched his head, wondering how it became his fault and thinking that he was only joking.
After Henry left, Eva realized that she had taken his jacket and chased after him, but he was nowhere to be seen. She had no choice but to return and hand Henry’s jacket to the staff at the entrance of the venue. “Hello, could you please return this jacket to Mr. Davis later?” she asked.
The staff had been present at the entrance, eavesdropping on their conversation. There were rumors about Henry being flirtatious, enjoying various romantic encounters, and not sticking to one person. But they didn’t expect him to be so forward, giving his jacket to a beautiful woman he just met at the event.
As staff members, they didn’t dare touch Eva’s jacket since it was given to her by Henry, which signaled his intentions. “No, miss, if it was given to you by Mr. Davis, it’s better that you return it to him personally,” one of the staff members said. Eva responded, “But I don’t know where he went p>
The staff member said, “Didn’t you exchange contact information with Mr. Davis?” It seemed like they were watching a play unfold before their eyes. Seeing Eva still standing there, another staff member explained, “Miss, it’s not that we refuse to help you, but we are just event staff members and rarely have the opportunity to see Mr. Davis. Even if we take the jacket, it would be difficult for us to deliver it to him on your behalf p>
After hearing this explanation, Eva realized it made sense. She said, “Okay, thank you.” Once she had made up her mind, Eva decided not to wait anymore.
Make it difficult for them again.
Taking a glance at the interior and then at the hall, Eva asked them, “Can I take a break outside p>
In response to this, the staff immediately and enthusiastically said, “Of course, I’ll take you there p>
As they needed an umbrella to get across from here, the staff held one up and escorted her over.
After arriving at the destination, Eva smiled at the person and said, “Thank you for bringing me here p>
Eva was beautiful, with fair skin, waist-length hair that hadn’t been permed, a pure black color. When it was draped on either side, it made her look both pure and charming. Moreover, up close, there was a faint fragrance coming from her. It couldn’t be identified as any specific perfume, but it felt very pleasant.
The staff blushed instantly when the beauty thanked him. “No, no need to be polite. I’ll be on my way then p>
After the staff left, Eva surveyed the hall and finally walked over to a corner.
Once she sat down, she finished sending a message to David and received a message from Lisa.
“Darling, has the auction ended? Will you accompany me to a bar tonight p>
Originally, Eva intended to refuse, but thinking about how Lisa had stayed at home to look after her two children for her, she softened.
“I’ll find you after it’s over p>
Not knowing how long she waited, the crowd at the venue gradually dispersed. Eva saw people gradually walking towards her because of the heavy rain outside, causing many to gather in the hall.
As Eva stood up to search for David at the exit, her line of sight unexpectedly caught a familiar figure.
The man had a slender figure, wearing a white shirt and black suit, complemented by a sophisticated wristwatch. He walked through the checkerboard patterned area with a cold and detached expression, exuding a sharp and intense aura on his handsome face.
