The next day, Amanda met George in a coffee shop.
George came thinking it was just a business meeting for a cooperation proposal, so he just went there without giving it much thought. However, seeing Amanda sitting in the coffee shop, he hesitated a bit.
He knew that the client was a woman, but the woman sitting in front of him had such shining aura and noble manners that he was stunned and couldn’t step forward easily.
"Hello, Mr. Green. I'm the client who asked you here to talk business." However, Amanda recognized George and took the initiative to greet him.
"Hello! Hello! How may I address you as?"
George didn't dare to verify her identity. Since she took initiative in speaking, he just politely inquired her name.
"I'm Amanda Sullivan, from the Sullivan family." Amanda smiled generously and introduced her extraordinary identity in a casual way.
Hearing that she was from the Sullivan family, George's attitude towards her became more modest and kinder, "Oh! It’s a pleasure to meet you Miss Sullivan.”
"I am also Jason Reed's fiancée. I just returned from studying abroad. I founded the clothing brand “Links”, business has just started; there are a lot of orders. I heard your company is also in the clothes making business so I wanted to know more about it. "
Amanda added the details about herself, almost as if exerting a lot of pressure on George and trying to imply that she was not someone to provoke.
George didn't dare to neglect her. As soon as he heard that she was engaged to Jason Reed, he was even more respectful towards her, "You heard right. FR Group is a giant in the design industry in JC City, and we have many well-known designers. Riley Kim is also among them..."
"It sounds great." Amanda smiled.
Just as George was about to continue introducing his company, Amanda suddenly interrupted him and mentioned Jason, "Recently, my fiancé seems to be very close to an intern in your company. How could that be?"
Amanda sounded slightly distressed, which made George's heart suddenly collapse in fear.
"I'll see what happened at once." George said modestly, not daring to let her take offence.
At the same time, he also understood her intention behind mentioning it. Cooperation meeting, in fact, was just an excuse to meet him; the real purpose of Amanda was just to put pressure on him and to make him dismiss Felicity.
It was just that it wasn’t justified. Although the Sullivan family had a strong position, he was still not sure if Amanda was really Jason's fiancée…
Besides, Jason seemed to favor Felicity, which was also something that George couldn’t overlook. If he dismissed her rashly, he was afraid that he would end up offending Jason.
But if he didn't do anything, he would be offending the Sullivan family.
George thought himself really unlucky. He got involved in the emotional whirlpool of such a powerful family for no reason. All he could so was to stabilize the situation first and then make plans for the next step.
…
In the afternoon, Felicity came to work normally, but Riley told her that George wanted her to speed up the design.
Felicity felt a little confused; she was a full week ahead of schedule… But George held on to his point saying that the client was in a hurry, even if it was to look at the sample.
She had to sort out the existing designs and send samples to George.
After a little time, Felicity was called to his office.
Yesterday, Felicity had also worked overtime at home. Even if the design was not finished, she thought she was working ahead of the schedule and had a good idea. So, when she entered George’s office, she felt more confident than usual.
However, the atmosphere inside the office was cold and unfamiliar. George sat with his face stiff and expressionless.
