In fact, in a sense, I had already confessed my love to Clara, and any fool could see that.
But she gave no indication, and that was the answer.
I didn't blame her, because I came to repay the favor. I had never expected some day that she would be with me.
So I was going to leave. I didn't want to see her be with another man.
“Marcel, right? How do you want to bet?! You arrange the rules, I don't care.”
Spreading my hands, I looked at him lightly and said.
“What?
Losing the will to fight so soon?
I never want to abuse the man has no will.”
He stared at me, as if two golden lights were erupting from his eyes.
I said with a dismissive smile.
“You look pretty blustery on the outside, but you are confident! The truly great people are humble, but your overestimate yourself and your eyes are not firm enough, always wandering from side to side, which proved that you care about what others think of you! To put it bluntly, you're a piece of shit in my eyes!”
“Asshole! In all my life, no one has ever dared to talk to me like that!”
He clenched his fists and stared at me with red-eyed fury.
“What? Upset about having your heart peeking out? I have studied psychology. You can bluff Clara and Greyson but you can't bluff me. I see you through. You can get out now, or don't lose your face if you lose the competition later.”
“Well, I see, you're not as bad as you seem! I never take advantage of others, so let's let Clara set the bet, the winner stays and the loser gets out!”
In a few words, he was irritated by me.
So I'd judged well that this man has some ability, but by no means great ability. And I've won this bet by 70%.
“What are you guys doing here? Marcel, Matteo, you are both exceptionally good people in my eyes. You can be friends, there's no need to fight! Don't bet on it, okay?”
Clara was caught in the middle, looking at us begrudgingly.
I sighed and said.
“Sis, don't you get it? He's coming for the formula in my hand. You can't persuade him, and likewise, you can't persuade me, because no mater I win or lose, you're the one who ultimately benefits. I just want to help you!”
Marcel grunted coldly and rolled up his sleeves, revealing his large gold watch and said
“What's the point of wasting words? Sign it, let’s get started!”
I grabbed the contract and signed it straight away!
Marcel looked up at Clara and said.
“Clara, come up with a question. You can throw out the company's toughest problem, and we'll each come up with a set of solutions to help you, and whoever has the better solution wins!”
Clara pursed her lips and looked at us with a difficult face, but Greyson popped up and said.
“Miss Clara, doesn't our company want to enter the clothing field? I think it's a great subject! Let them both each come up with a marketing strategy plan, and whoever is more feasible will be counted as the winner!”
Hearing this, many shareholders followed suit, saying that the subject was good, which not only can determine the winner, but also helps the company solve the future development problems.
But Clara slammed the table and looked coldly at Greyson and said.
“Marcel's major is marketing! It's simply not fair to Matteo to compete on this!”
I didn't expect Clara to say something for me at this point, but I laughed, raised my hand to block Clara and said.
“Okay, let's compete on this! But Marcel, I've been in the company for a few days now, and I know more about internal affairs than you do, so you do you it is fair for you?”
Marcel tilted his head proudly, pushed his glasses and said.
“I knew about Clara's company 7 years ago, and I did some understanding before coming here this time. Let's start straight away!”
Speaking here, he paused for a moment and added.
