Chapter 524
Edbert sending Xena over simply meant he was well prepared to execute this plan.
At this time, pressure from the public through the press would not work anymore.
Most of the directors in Royden Group were probably already bribed too.
What would he do next? He would most likely use Gigi to ruin their relationship once more.
Then, he would be able to distract Edgar from counter-attacking.
Perhaps, he would send someone to her too.
Jean turned around and spoke firmly, "Rachel, please invite Miles for dinner.Alone-"
"Invite him?"
Rachel was surprised.But she immediately understood after Jean explained.
"Alright, Ms.Eyer.I shall call him right away."
"Sorry for the trouble"
Rachel shook her head.
"No.He and his boss owe us this’ Half an hour later, Miles sat anxiously in the restaurant.His mind was full of Edgar's orders—to find out what Jean was planning for Rachel.But he...He could not think straight whenever he saw Rachel.
"Have you been waiting long?"
Rachel approached him with her bag in casual attire.She looked relaxed.
"No, no.I just arrived."
Miles rubbed his knees with both hands.
He was so nervous that he could hardly speak.
Rachel glanced at him calmly and asked, "Are you hot? Why are you sweating?"
"Maybe their air conditioning is not on!"
Miles smiled awkwardly.
"Why did you invite me for a meal?"
It would be best if he completed the task his boss gave him as soon as possible.
Rachel rested her chin in both palms and spoke gently.
"I just felt like seeing you since I'm feeling down.
"Seeing me?"
Miles could feel blood gushing to his head.He could no longer hear what Rachel said.
Finally, when he walked out of the restaurant with Rachel, she asked him again.
"So, is that a promise?"
Miles nodded.
Rachel immediately turned around and waved goodbye.
"Thank you."
Miles swallowed his saliva hard and ran to the company.
At the same time, Edgar was surrounded by the directors in his office "Mr.Edgar, since it has been done, there is no use getting angry over it.
If we do not have any other choices, we can relocate the employees from Eyer Group or even offer them higher positions."
The look in Edgar's eyes grew colder.
He slapped his palm onto the table.
At that moment, everyone shut up.
"Does anyone still listen to me in this company?"
The directors exchanged glances in shock after they heard Edgar's cold reply.
Edbert had given them too much confidence until they had the nerve to negotiate with Edgar.
They had forgotten how cold and ruthless Edgar could be.
He did not even care about his uncle; what more to say about outsiders like them? They dared not speak up anymore.
They only said tactfully, "Mr.Edgar, of course, we will obey your orders.But it will be good for Royden Group to acquire Eyer Group.If not, the outside world will most definitely say that we bullied Eyer Group when the truth gets leaked.The company’s reputation will suffer severe damage then"
"Do you mean I should use my money and position to stop every Eyer Group employee from telling this to outsiders? Will it satisfy your ego if I, a powerless person in this company, settle this matter?"
Edgar gave them an icy look.
He sneered.
"I'm not a puppet like Xena."
