Chapter 271 Agreement
Edbert had always been a sympathetic person. Edgar lowered his lids and reflected before saying in a calm voice, “Don’t worry, Uncle. I will think it through and talk to Andy. I won’t let things get worse.”
“That’s good then, we are partners, after all. Let’s not make things too complicated. He was in charge of quite a few of the company’s projects. You must think carefully about the loss and gains.”
“I understand.”
“Also, I saw the news. Are Jean and the boy from the Rocher family together?” Edbert asked curiously. “I’m not too sure.” Edgar said after a few moments.
Edbert said a few more things to Edgar before leaving. After sending Edbert out, Edgar thought for a moment before pressing a button on his landline.
“Make an appointment with Mr. Shaw for the afternoon.”
“Yes, sir.” Andy was sitting in the president’s office at Eyer Group when he received the call from Edgar’s secretary. Jean sat opposite him. There wasn’t a more apt word than unwelcoming to describe the current situation.
Jensen Rocher and Rachel Sander stood by the door. They had their ears pressed against the door to hear the movements inside.
“Mr. Rocher, do you think Ms. Eyer is in danger? Should I call the security guards up? Just in case.”
“No need, let’s just listen quietly.” Jensen frowned. The muscles in his face tensed with alertness.
In the office, Jean sat, composed. “I didn’t realize you were so free to come for tea, Mr. Shaw.”
Andy put down his phone and answered her with a laugh, “Of course, I’m here to talk business. Eyer Group is expanding so well.”
He passed over an envelope of money and a name list.
“This is a record of the bribery and corruption going on within the higher-ups in Royden Group. I need you to pass this to Edgar.” He said blatantly.
“What do you mean?”
“You can use this to threaten him and make your comeback. And I will be able to benefit from it too. Two birds with one stone.” The grin on Andy’s face grew deeper.
The atmosphere in the office became indescribable.
“No.” Jean said obstinately.
It wasn’t the answer Andy was expecting.
“Ms. Eyer… you really are different from the others.” The despise in him was showing. He leaned forward. “This isn’t your first time rejecting me. There’s a limit to my patience.”
“Not everyone wants to work with you. We do not welcome you. Please leave.” Jean answered steadfastly.
“Ha… Do you think you can take revenge on Edgar with this attitude of yours? You will never be able to do it in this lifetime!”
Jean’s expression darkened, but after a moment, she turned away from him. There was no point continuing the conversation with people like Andy.
“Whether I succeed or not is my business. It has nothing to do with you.” Jean’s fingers dug into her palm. “Rachel, please see our guest out.”
Andy smirked coldly and walked out the door.
Rachel was about to follow behind him but was stopped by Jensen. “I’ll go, stay with Ms. Eyer.”
Rachel was frightened by Andy’s expression, so she nodded her head in agreement.
Jensen went up to Andy, “Mr. Shaw, what brought you here?”
“It has nothing to with you.” Andy was chewing on a piece of gum. His gaze became calculative when he gave Jensen a once over. “I heard you were pursuing Jean Eyer. How’s that going?”
“Please be mindful of your words.” Jensen replied frostily.
Andy got into the elevator.
“Hmph, what a show.” He scoffed, and the elevator door slowly closed.
Just as it was about to shut completely, Jensen pressed the down button and got in.
“I know why you’re here. I can help you with your request.”
“You?”
Andy was skeptical of those that offered themselves like this.
Jensen brushed aside the hair on his forehead.
