Chapter 221
The sentence that followed surprised Eva. “You know me p>
The person nodded with a smile. “Of course, even though five years have passed, you’ve become even more beautiful than before. But I recognized you at first sight. Back then, when you were working for the Blackwood family, you came to our company for cooperation. At that time, I was just a junior employee p>
Upon hearing this, Eva understood. “So, you spent five years and became an executive p>
“Yes p>
“Not bad.” Eva thought he was quite capable and liked him for it.
But at the moment, the company’s issue needed to be resolved.
Tim, the manager Eva hired, quickly offered her some suggestions.
“Actually, Ms. Hansen, if you want to solve this problem, it’s quite simple p>
Curious, Eva glanced at him and asked, “What’s your idea p>
“Get investments.” Tim said, “If we can attract investments from big companies, then we don’t need to worry about the company’s operation afterward p>
Eva had considered attracting investments before.
“You mean, I should attract investments while the company only has a few people p>
Tim shrugged and spread his hands. “With your abilities and connections, is it not possible p>
Eva fell silent.
Regardless of what she thought, Tim immediately began listing the companies that could be approached for investments.
“First, there’s the Blackwood family in New York, and then there’s the Davis family in Chicago p>
Upon hearing the former, Eva fell silent for a moment.
Noticing her reaction, Tim smiled and said, “Boss, even though you had a bit of a conflict with the Blackwood family in the past, you shouldn’t mind it for the sake of your own company, right p>
Eva took a deep breath to calm herself, then smiled faintly, “I’m sorry, but I do mind p>
Tim scratched his head awkwardly, coughed, and then said, “Alright, then we’ll have to choose the Davis family in Chicago. Lately, they’ve gained great momentum, especially after that recent auction. The new heir is quite arrogant. But Boss, I should warn you in advance, don’t get too close to Henry when attracting investments. It’s fine to bring in investments, but be careful not to be deceived into bed by him p>
Henry from the Davis family.
He happened to be on her WhatsApp contact list. She still had the suit jacket he lent her.
Maybe she could give it a try?
After making up her mind, Eva didn’t waste any time. She immediately opened WhatsApp to find Henry’s contact information. Since they added each other that day, they hadn’t exchanged a single message, as if they treated each other as non-existent. Because she was busy, Eva had completely forgotten about the suit jacket.
After thinking for a long time about what to say, she edited a message and sent it to Henry.
“Mr. Davis, hello. Thank you for the jacket at the event the other day. I’ve recently cleaned it. When can I return it to you p>
After sending the message, Eva didn’t expect an immediate response. She was about to put down her phone when she received a reply.
“It took so long, I thought Ms. Hansen lost my coat p>
Eva explained somewhat awkwardly, “I’m sorry, I was busy after that. I only recently freed up some time p>
After sending the message, she added, “May I ask when you have time p>
The other person casually replied, “You come and make plans with me, I’m always available p>
Looking at this message, Eva remained silent for a while before replying to him after a moment. “There are some work matters I’d like to discuss with Mr. Davis.” After sending this message, the other person didn’t reply.
Eva held her phone, and her expression gradually grew solemn.
Was she too straightforward?
But if she was too indirect, Eva feared he might misunderstand something. Perhaps it was because Tim cautioned her, making her more cautious.
After a long five minutes, the other person finally replied.
“East District Racetrack, can you come now p>
The racetrack?
Although not an ideal place for a conversation, this was an opportunity!
Eva didn’t hesitate for long. She quickly grabbed her bag and scarf and headed outside.
It was windy outside, so Eva tied her scarf as soon as she went downstairs, then hailed a taxi.
East District Racetrack.
Dirt was flying inside the racetrack as a tall, black stallion galloped through. Riding on the horse was a slender, handsome man with a cold expression. With a grim face, the man held the reins firmly in his hand. Even from a distance, one could feel the chilling aura and hostility emanating from him.
Since he took the stage, everyone else in the racetrack hurriedly drove their horses away, fearing being affected by the man’s anger.
Henry had just finished a race. Despite it being winter, he drank his beverage as if it were hot water, finishing half the bottle of sweetened drink in one gulp.
After finishing, he locked the lid and looked at the man in the arena. He jestingly remarked, “What happened to this person today? He’s so fierce p>
The people standing next to him immediately shook their heads and denied, “It’s not just today, it’s been every day recently p>
“Mr. Blackwood has been venting his anger here for half a month because he hasn’t been doing well in any of the racecourses. The racetrack’s owner is suffering, but they dare not offend Mr. Blackwood.” Hearing this, Henry clicked his tongue.
“Who has offended him to make him so angry? He hasn’t been able to calm down for half a month p>
The person next to him nodded, saying, “Who knows? Mr. Blackwood’s thoughts are as unpredictable as an emperor’s p>
This description made Henry chuckle.
Thinking of something, Henry took out his phone and glanced at it.
It had been more than twenty minutes since he messaged the girl, and she had yet to arrive.
While pondering, his phone vibrated.
Henry saw that the other person had replied to him.
“Mr. Davis, I’m almost at the racetrack. Where are you? I’ll come directly to you p>
Looking at the message, Henry couldn’t help but laugh.
“This girl is quite interesting, not younger than me, yet so driven in her career p>
Seeing him smiling at his phone, the person next to him came over cheerfully.
“Mr. Davis, who is this girl? Is there another newcomer recently p>
Upon hearing this, Henry glared at the person, “What’s it to you p>
The person laughed slyly, about to continue teasing, when suddenly, someone rode a horse and jumped over the railing, heading straight towards them. Finally, when they were close, the person abruptly pulled on the reins and stopped. This scene startled many people, causing them to retreat and even some to fall down in fear.
Only Henry stood there calmly, holding his phone.
The man on horseback stopped in front of him and coldly looked at his face, inviting him, “Henry, how about a challenge p>
Looking at the man in front of him, the pinnacle of success, Henry raised an eyebrow and smiled, “Sure, but I have to bring someone p>
Hearing this, Adrian frowned.
Henry smirked, “Have you ever tried letting a woman ride your horse with you p>
