Chapter 515
It was exactly how he treated Jean — patience alone was not enough.
What she needed was mutual respect.
However, as soon as he finished his sentence, Julia stopped praising him.
"Now that you've sent the contract over and finished your food, you should leave."
She invited Hugo over to let Jean know more about him.
From what she heard, they had a good experience visiting the art gallery the other day.
Hugo even sent Jean home.
Since it was the perfect opportunity to get to know each other better, she didn't want Edgar to ruin it.
Hence, she made herself clear enough.
Edgar already had a plan in mind.
"I have some business to discuss with Mr.Mason about a golf club project south of the city.I think he might be interested"
He used business as bait.It was slightly despicable of him to do that, but it was useful.
The crucial point was that Edgar was great at deciphering others’ facial expressions.
His bait was right up Hugo's alley.
After hearing their business conversation, Julia frowned in annoyance, so she went to play with Ellie.
Jean, on the other hand, was listening to the conversation attentively.
She learned a lot from the conversation between the two seasoned businessmen.
She had the chance to learn the art of negotiation from their conversation, and she wanted to make the most out of it.
Hence, Julia's plan turned into a business conversation between the three.
Finally, when Hugo left with Ellie, who had fallen asleep, Julia apologized again.
"I will prepare a nice meal another time and make sure no one interrupts us." Hugo smiled at her warmly.
"I don't mind.Thanks to you, I got a business deal tonight"
"Good." Julia thought highly of Hugo because he wasn't annoyed at all.
When the father and daughter entered the car, she muttered to herself, "It's too bad that he has a daughter.
But she is cute and well-mannered.
It might not be bad after all’ Edgar heard her.
Wearing a perfectly-ironed suit, he asked calmly, "Does he know about Jean's pregnancy?"
Julia looked at him defensively.
"What do you mean?" Edgar smiled warmly.
"Nothing.I'm just thinking that if they are serious about dating each other, they'll have to face each other honestly.Otherwise, it's considered cheating: Julia gritted her teeth silently.
"I shouldn't have let you in just now"
She would never have given in if it wasn't related to Eyer Group.
Standing opposite her, Edgar replied politely, "Don't be mad at me.I'm sure we will see each other again"
It was inappropriate to be mad at him since he didn't step out of line.
As soon as he finished speaking, he coolly walked back to his car.
Julia sighed.
"He shouldn't have done it if he was going to regret it now!"
The door was closed shut.
In the car, Edgar called Nathan, who grumbled as soon as he picked up the phone.
"I won't drink with you tonight"
"I'm not asking for a drink.Come to my office to work"
"What?" Nathan complained.
Doesn't this guy have a transition period between being romantic and being a workaholic? When Edgar left, Jean watched him with the contract in front of her.
Julia knocked on the door before sending in some desserts and fruits.
"You need a lot of nutrients at your current stage, but don't force yourself.Just choose what you like."
Her hands were slightly wet when she put the plate down.
Just as she was about to leave, Jean asked, "Aunt Julia, do you think I should sell the company to Edgar?"
Julia stopped and mulled it over.
"You're aware that I know nothing about business, but I understand how a man thinks.Since this is the reason Edgar is using to see you regularly, I'm sure he has a backup plan.Whether you sell it or not, he is well-prepared"
