Chapter 401 Herman’s Hostility
“Mari.”

Unlike Jaylen, Heman didn’t address Mariela as Ms. Robins, making others feel that
Hernan and Mariela were close.
Mariela turned around and saw Herman. She immediately revealed a bright smile.
She happily came to Heman. Seeing Heman reach out, she shook hands with him
and greeted him in a low voice, “Herman.”
“Hi. I’m not late, am I?” Heman asked with a gentle look in his eyes.
“No. In fact, you’re here early,” Mariela said as she led him forward. “There’s your
favorite wine up ahead. Let me get you a glass.”
Aside, Jaylen was a little stunned. He somehow felt hostility in Herman’s eyes when
Hernan looked at him earlier.
Was it his illusion?
For some reason, such hostility was a bit familiar…
It reminded him of the way Martin looked at him.
None of the people present had expected that Mariela managed to invite Jaylen as
well as Hernan. They were funous, yet they didn’t
dare to utter a word
*Heman, a toast to you.” Mariela handed Heman a glass of wine.
“Girls shouldn’t drink.”
“You have helped me so much. I insist.”
Just as Hernan was about to tell Mariela that a small sip would do the trick, she had
already drunk up. She even smiled at him after
that, and her smile was utterly innocent.
She had the innocent face of a young girl, to begin with. Right now, with the evening
dress she was wearing, she looked even more
charming.
“Mr. Lusk, this is quite rare,” some chairman came over and said with a smile. “I’ve
never seen you at other groups’ welcome parties,
and it seems that you have made an exception for Ms. Robins…”
“He is right,” another chairman walked over and said with a smile. “A while ago, the
CEO of Meteor Group had his 70th birthday, and he
didn’t have the honor to have you there…”
Hearing that, Mariela immediately looked at Hernan in disbelief.
“Man is different.”
Herman’s words were meaningful. The two chairmen were stunned and then grinned.
“Mr. Lusk, now that you think so highly of Ms. Robins, you ought to help Ms. Robins,
since she has just taken office…”
“That’s right. Ms. Robins isn’t exactly experienced. If Mr. Lusk can cooperate with us
more…”
Hearing that, Mariela interrupted at once, “Work is off the table today, Mr. Lusk, let’s
go there.”
She thought, these two chairmen are so annoying.
“Hey, I heard that Mr. Lusk came to us today to discuss cooperation, I wonder what
kind of cooperation it is. Have you reached a
deal?”
“That’s right. I’m also interested in knowing the first project Ms. Robins brings us after
she takes office.”
“I’m afraid that you are asking too many questions,” Heman said without answering
them. “I will discuss the details with Mari at
another time.”

“You don’t have to worry about it,” Mariela added.
The two chairmen were dissatisfied and found an excuse to leave
“Heman, thank you…” Mariela didn’t expect that Hernan would make an exception for
her and help her out.
“You just took over the group. There are a lot of people and things you have to get
used to,” Hernan said, and at the same time, his phone vibrated. “Excuse me.”
“It’s fine. Heman, go ahead.” He picked up the phone and walked to the other side. It
