Chapter 229
This statement made Henry and Samantha, who were secretly eavesdropping, widen their eyes simultaneously. They both turned their heads and exclaimed in unison.
“Person by your side p>
“What does that mean? Did you two used to sleep together p>
Even the driver was so startled that he slammed on the brakes, making a screeching sound.
Everyone looked at Adrian.
The driver hastily wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and forced a smile, “We have arrived p>
Upon hearing this, Eva realized that the car had already arrived at the racecourse.
She reacted and immediately pushed Henry.
Henry also got off the car right away.
Seeing this, Eva prepared to follow, but she heard Adrian’s cold voice from behind.
“You’re just going to leave after leaning on me p>
It seemed he had become even more shameless than before during their five years of separation.
She glanced at him and sneered, “What can you do if I just leave like this p>
With that, she jumped off the car, slammed the door shut, went back to the dressing room to change back into her own clothes, and then left.
When she was leaving, Henry found her and said awkwardly, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know there was this kind of relationship between you two, otherwise, I wouldn’t have invited you to the equestrian center.” “What relationship?” Eva’s expression remained indifferent. “I have no relationship with him whatsoever p>
“It’s alright, but just now in the car p>
“Even if there was anything, it doesn’t matter p>
“Five years ago p>
“Five years ago?” Henry repeated, initially muttering but then widening his eyes as if he realized something. “You mean?” Eva nodded.
“I can’t believe it Henry murmured to himself. “No wonder he became so irrational and lost his composure when he saw you.” Henry had never seen Adrian act as crazy as he did on their journey.
“So, Mr. Davis, I hope that it won’t affect our future work in any way p>
Only then did Henry remember that Eva had come to talk about work today, but he wasn’t sure about the specific job.
After thinking for a moment, Eva replied, “It’s not a good time to discuss it today. Are you available tomorrow p>
Henry nodded. “Then come directly to my office tomorrow to talk p>
Eva was slightly taken aback, but she nodded. “Alright, thank you p>
After scheduling a time with Henry, Samantha approached.
She waved at Eva and smiled, “Can I add you on WhatsApp p>
Eva was surprised that Samantha was willing to add her.
“Of course p>
They exchanged contact information, and Samantha whispered, “So, did you really sleep with him p>
Upon hearing this, Eva’s hand holding the phone trembled.
Without hesitation, she coldly replied, “I refuse to answer that question p>
“Well then,” Samantha didn’t mind, shrugged her shoulders, and said, “I’ll ask something else next time p>
After bidding farewell to Samantha, Eva left the equestrian center.
Before leaving, she felt a sharp stare locked on her back, and it was obvious who it was.
She directly opened the taxi door and got in, leaving.
Back at her small company, Tim greeted her right away.
“Did you get satisfactory results p>
Eva glanced at him helplessly.
Tim asked, “Seems like the results weren’t quite satisfactory p>
“Enough, stop talking,” Eva said, taking a seat on the sofa. “We didn’t discuss the investment issue at all today, but we’ve scheduled a meeting for tomorrow.” Upon hearing the last sentence, Tim finally felt relieved.
“That’s good. Have a good discussion tomorrow. You’re smart and clever, so you’ll definitely secure the investment p>
Can she really secure the investment?
Eva found it difficult to imagine.
Thinking of something, Eva looked at Tim and asked, “Between Henry and Adrian, who’s more formidable p>
This question instantly puzzled Tim.
“What do you mean, Boss? Why are you suddenly asking this p>
“Just answer honestly p>
Because Tim knew about Eva and Adrian’s past, he was struggling to figure out how to answer. If he praised Adrian too much, would Eva get angry? After all, she was now his current boss.
“What are you thinking?” Eva asked when he remained silent for a while.
Taking a deep breath, Tim said, “I’m wondering whether I should tell the truth or say something that will make you happy p>
That answer was interesting.
Eva smirked and said, “Well, you better tell me the truth p>
Tim “Boss, this is really difficult for me p>
Upon hearing this, Eva raised an eyebrow, “Let’s consider it as your management assessment for the first month at work p>
“Well, it seems like I need to think about it carefully p>
Tim stood still for a while, lost in thought, before speaking up, “In terms of experience, Adrian is naturally superior. After all, Henry is just a rookie in his eyes. But the newly appointed dark horse is full of momentum and potential. The business world is like a battlefield, and only the ones who can endure until the end are the winners p>
Eva chuckled lightly at this response.
“Now I understand why you climbed up to the top management level in such a short time p>
Tim smiled, “You flatter me, boss p>
“And one more question. Do you think Henry would offend the Blackwood family for the sake of our small company p>
Upon hearing this, Tim hesitated.
“Is this question difficult to answer p>
“Boss, I think you are dissatisfied with the suggestions I gave you today, so you are questioning me at this time p>
“So, you know that your suggestions would make me unhappy p>
“There’s nothing I can do, boss. The company needs operations and development.” He reminded her, “It’s your company.” The last sentence reminded her.
“Yes, it is my company p>
Therefore, even if she knew that the result might not be as she wished, she still had to try her best.
“It would be best if the boss understands this p>
“Manager, besides the Davis Group, I want you to help me come up with a new list of companies p>
“To attract investment.” Eva smiled slightly. “Because tomorrow is likely to be a failure p>
After a while, Tim looked at Eva, who was still pretending to smile, and asked in difficulty, “May I ask, boss, who did you meet today p>
“Don’t you already have an idea in your mind p>
Tim said, “Did you really meet Mr. Blackwood? What a coincidence p>
“Yes, that’s right. It was just a coincidence, and I offended him too p>
Chicago is so big, she never thought she would meet him so many times in such a short time.
Tim suddenly didn’t want to say anything. He thought she was asking those questions to trouble herself, but it turns out she really offended someone p>
