Ice and Fire novel Chapter 771

"Ohhh, of course not! That's not what I meant!" Violet quickly shook her head. "Let's leave it for now. I can promise you, as long as my husband doesn't mind me being friends with a guy then we will be friends."

"Your husband?" Francis echoed what Violet just said. He then turned around and walked to the French window of his office to enjoy the view outside. "The weather is good, although the headline today..."

Violet understood what he meant before he finished his words and realized that her refusal might have irritated Francis.

She walked to Francis and said,"Well, we are friends now! And we will soon become close friends, okay?"

"Really?" Francis asked, with his eyes again lighting up.

"Yes, it's serious to me," Violet replied. She just decided to leave her worries along, because she believed that Greg would understand her if she explained everything to him. After all, she loved no one but him.

"Good!" Francis nodded with pleasure. He looked back outside the window, now smiling.

"Then, the GR Group..." Violet tried to imply to him, for fear that being too direct would make him change his mind.

Francis turned around, walked to his desk, grabbed the phone and got through to the internal line.

"Have Assistant Zhao come in." Francis ordered to someone and hung up the phone.

After a few minutes, the door opened and in walked a beautiful lady dressed in a corporate suit and high heels. 'This must be Assistant Zhao.' Violet thought.

"Make an announcement that our company will invest in the GR Group and at the same time send a manager over to the GR Group and discuss the details of the investment with Roger Gu." Francis instructed.

"Okay Mr. Francis. Consider it done." Assistant Zhao nodded politely and then walked out, briefly looking at Violet.

Francis turned to Violet and said,"So now are yo still worried? Trust me. The GR Group's stock price will go up within a couple of hours."

"Thank you, Francis!" Violet said happily, feeling relieved.

"Then," Francis seemed quite serious, staring at Violet. "Now that I have helped you, do you think you could have lunch with me?"

"Of course!" Violet replied joyfully. As long as the GR Group successfully survived the crisis, nothing else worried her. It would be a pleasant afternoon when she finally got to do her grocery shopping after her lunch with Francis.
