Sensing success in this endeavor, Holley just kept silent. She did not want to do anything that would push Charles to make a hasty decision. It would be better if it came from him. She seated herself leisurely and looked around his office with great interest.
For the longest time, silence reigned in the room.
Finally, Charles said hoarsely, "I agree to work with Tarsan Corporation to finish this project."
Hesitation and helplessness were obvious as he pressed his brows after saying his decision out loud. Deep inside, he knew he wasn't sure if what he did was right.
Opposite, Holley gave him her biggest smile ever.
"As I expected, Mr. Lu, you made a wise decision. With the two powerful companies joining hand in hand, this project will surely be completed successfully. What's more, maximum profit is in store for us in the near future. I look forward to our working together."
Holley extended her hand to shake hands.
Charles had no choice but to shake hands with Holley. "Same here."
Not long, the two people soon confirmed the cooperation with Party A.
After signing the contract, Holley suggested that Charles and she create a project committee which would be composed of their top caliber employees. Without hesitation, Charles agreed. Anyway, he was already thinking of letting one of his assistants take charge of the project. He would just ask for updates on its progress every now and then.
At the reception of Shining Company
Holley lightly tapped the reception desk with a smile.
"Good day, Miss Ye. It's nice to see you again," she greeted Holley respectfully when she saw it was her.
"I am here to see Mr. Lu," Holley informed her with a smile.
"Just for a moment, Miss Ye." Then, the receptionist dialed the CEO's office and informed Charles of her presence. Charles replied, "I know." And, he hung up.
Annoyance was clearly written on Charles' face. At the beginning of the project, Holley was always seen at Shining Company every two or three days. He already instructed her to talk to his employee about the project. But still, she kept on bothering him.
Meanwhile, the receptionist was confused and didn't know what to do. Charles' answer was vague.
On the other hand, Holley visited Shining Company almost every day ever since the project started. Anyone with sharp eyes would know that she had another purpose unrelated to business.
When the two receptionists exchanged looks with each other, Holley already understood. What she did was walk towards the elevator without glancing back.
As soon as the elevator doors closed, they began talking in lower voices.
"Do you notice? Miss Ye is here almost every day! Do you think she has a crush on Mr. Lu?" After always seeing Holley in the company, the girl who was regularly assigned at the reception asked her colleague curiously. She couldn't help not to ask anymore.
"And, coming here every time dressed seductively? I definitely think it is true! What's more, she always asks where Mr. Lu is whenever she comes around,"
