Ex-husband's Sweet Trap novel Chapter 16

When Henry took over the company, he must have known that the company was not on good terms with Aprico Jewelry. Even so, he still told her to deal with this contract. It was obvious that he was trying to set her up.

Linda could see that something was wrong from Luz's expression. She said sympathetically, "Ms Boone, Mr Harper, the general manager from Aprico Jewelry, is not easy to deal with. If you are looking to collaborate with them, it might be a little... hard."

Luz had already read up on Aprico Jewelry, so she nodded in agreement. She felt like crying.

It wasn't just hard, it was almost impossible!

Unfortunately, Henry had told her to solve the problem within five days.

Tomorrow was the deadline.

Luz spent the rest of the day calling Aprico Jewelry.

However, they hung up as soon as they heard that she was calling from MR. She was even mocked by the employee over the phone. "Hey, are you new? You must not know what is going on yet. MR is on the brink of bankruptcy, why would we collaborate with you?"

"F*ck you!" she cursed silently.

If they didn't want a collaboration, they could have just said so. There was no need to be so smug.

She slumped against her chair dejectedly for a minute. Then, she pulled up Aprico Jewelry's website on her laptop and called them under the guise of a client. She managed to get the general manager's phone number after half an hour of careful persuasion. 

Mr Harper, the general manager of Aprico Jewelry, was a well-spoken man. He did not hang up immediately after she introduced herself as a representative from MR. Instead, he told her politely that they had already found an ambassador for their new line of jewellery, so they did not have any room for collaboration. He also informed her that he was busy.

However, Luz overheard someone talking about attending a gala on the other end of the phone.

She noted down the time and place of the gala quickly and smiled. "Alright, Mr Harper, I'm sorry to bother you."

She would just go to the gala and meet him in person.

At the Glacier Hotel on Thursday night.

Luz arrived at the gala in a low cut navy blue gown, which accentuated her tall and slim figure. Her bare arms were pale and almost translucent. Her eyes were bright while her lips curved in a pleasant smile.

She was surrounded by a hazy aura of brightness as if she was a goddess.
