Chapter 180 She Got to Know Him Better
Ten minutes later, Jean sat on a bench opposite the hotel and held her phone to record a video. She witnessed Gigi’s manager calling a few models and actors to the hotel. “Tsk, tsk. Is she looking for people to take the blame for her?”
Unfortunately for her, I have installed a camera along the hotel corridor. It shows that Gigi knows her way around the hotel and enters without hesitation the room Andy frequently stays in. Even an idiot would know what is going on.
However, it felt exhilarating to have such evidence with her. Thus, she did not wish to expose it too soon. Today, Jean had not only taken back Garrison Group but played around with a few people. Words could not describe how satisfying it felt to her. Thus, she took out her phone and suddenly felt like inviting someone to dinner. Who should I call?
She walked along the street and soon noticed an advertisement board for a new product from Peres in the middle of a pedestrian street.
In that photo, Jean deliberately hooked her arm around Edgar’s neck while he leaned down toward her. They stood closely and intimately but did not kiss. The photo seemed mysterious and mesmerizing.
Jean looked at it for a while and recalled a few strange incidents. However, she bit her lower lip and reminded herself to remain clear-headed.
…
A week later, Garrison Group had been renamed Eyer Group.
Although the company did not have a physical office, and Jean was the only person in the company, at least she found a goal she could work toward. Furthermore, a few of Eyer Group’s past business
partners contacted Jean.
They expressed their willingness to give Eyer Group a chance if there were any opportunities for collaboration.
That, to Jean, was the best kind of news she could receive.
Jean looked at the words ‘Eyer Group’ and sat smiling by the street.
At some distance away, a bodyguard who had been protecting Jean in secret quickly reported to someone.
“Is that all?” The person arched an eyebrow.
Jean’s reaction was not what I expected. She is behaving too calmly.
“Yes.” Miles handed over a few proposals for joint ventures. “I have chosen a few proposals as you instructed and made sure they are suitable for Eyer Group.”
Edgar glanced at them. “This proposal is too complicated. And this one is unsuitable.”
Then, he patted the table and continued, “Search again.”
“Yes, Mr. Royden.”
Miles was about to leave the office when he recalled something. He turned around and hesitated.
“What is it?”
“Mr. Shaw requested a long leave to rest. Please have a look. Are you going to approve it?”
Edgar frowned, but before he could say anything, a figure suddenly appeared at the door. It was Edbert. He held a box of pastries and said with a smile, “Have I disturbed your work?”
“Uncle Edbert.”
Edgar gestured to Miles before standing up to welcome Edbert into the office.
“I saw you were busy and did not want to disturb you. However, this dessert was the one your late mother loved. I finally found some that looked and tasted the same, so I brought them for you to try.”
Edbert pushed the box of pastries toward Edgar. He had a nostalgic expression on his face.
“How nice it would be if they were still alive.”
His words triggered old memories to resurface in Edgar’s mind.
Edgar frowned and said, “Uncle Edbert…”
“I understand you have a lot of work, but you should also take care of yourself. Alright, I won’t take up any more of your time. I’ll leave first.” Edbert got up slowly as he spoke.
After walking a few steps, Edbert turned around again. “I recalled seeing someone who looked like Susan that day. I’m not sure if my eyes were playing tricks with me.”
“No, she was Susan.” Then, Edgar explained that he had gone to the countryside to find Susan and brought her to the city.
Edbert was surprised before nodding with delight. “You did right and considered well. One should be grateful to people who have helped us and remember to repay their good deeds.”
He left Edgar’s office after saying that.
His secretary Alex Moore was already waiting outside for him.
Once the elevator door closed, Edbert sighed and said, “Tell Mr. Shaw that he doesn’t have to apply for a leave anymore.”
Alex was stunned. “Are you sure Mr. Edgar will forgive Mr. Shaw?”
“The matter was only about a woman. They have been working together for so long. There is no need to ruin their relationship over such a trivial matter.” Edbert narrowed his eyes. “A successful man should be magnanimous.”
Alex nodded immediately. “Yes, Mr. Edbert. You are right.”
