Both men were shocked. “Dear, you might not know how capable we are. We promise to satisfy your every desire—”
“Get out of my way!” Zeke hissed.
His domineering presence caused both Leonard and Rodney to do a double-take.
Right that moment, it felt as if they were watched by the grim reaper. They felt a chill trickle down their spine and trembled in fear.
“Who is it? Why are you upset early in the morning?” A deep voice speaking stilted Eurasian was heard upstairs.
Everyone turned to look upward subconsciously.
It was a female foreigner with wrinkles all over her face. She might be an elderly lady, but her outfit was revealing and seductive. The sight was both strange and disgusting.
Hmm, this must be Ms. Lucy.
When both Leonard and Rodney spotted Lucy, they dashed toward her and pouted coquettishly.
“Dear, we've been bullied,” Leonard wailed.
“Dear, you have to get back at him!” Rodney whined.
Chuckling, Lucy patted their butts and announced, “Don't worry, my darlings. No one can bully you, for I'm the only one who can bully you. I'll avenge you both today!”
Leonard and Rodney seemed touched by her gesture. “Thank you, Dear. You're the best.”
Lucy said, “You should get something to eat. I need to talk to them about work.”
Both men were shocked. “Deor, you might not know how copoble we ore. We promise to sotisfy your every desire—”
“Get out of my woy!” Zeke hissed.

Hmm, this must be Ms. Lucy.
When both Leonord ond Rodney spotted Lucy, they doshed toword her ond pouted coquettishly.
“Deor, we've been bullied,” Leonord woiled.
“Deor, you hove to get bock ot him!” Rodney whined.
Chuckling, Lucy potted their butts ond onnounced, “Don't worry, my dorlings. No one con bully you, for I'm the only one who con bully you. I'll ovenge you both todoy!”

Lucy soid, “You should get something to eot. I need to tolk to them obout work.”
“All right,” Leonard and Rodney answered in unison. “Dear, after you're done with work, we shall serve you well. There are over thirty positions that we have yet to unlock.”
Lucy let out a bout of raucous laughter. “Sure!”
She took a seat beside Sheldon. “Thank you, Mr. Guerrero. I love this arrangement of yours.”
Sheldon replied hastily, “You flatter me, Ms. Lucy. It's part of my duty.”
Lucy gave an indifferent nod. She glanced at Emma and said, “Ms. Jones, take a seat so we can talk.”
“All right!”
Both Emma and Zeke took their seats across from Lucy.
As it seemed that Lucy had decided to choose Sheldon, Emma had lost all hope.
Lucy opened her briefcase and pulled out two proposals.
The proposals were each from Linton Group and Intercontinental Group.
As it was a crucial moment, Emma couldn't help but tense up.
Just like what she said last night, she wasn't going to give up until the last moment.
In a deep voice, Lucy uttered, “For the past few days, I've analyzed both proposals thoroughly. In the end, Intercontinental Group's proposal seems to show more sincerity.”
Despite having expected that, Emma was disappointed to hear Lucy's decision.
Sheldon could barely hide his delight. “Thank you, Ms. Lucy. Intercontinental Group will work hard to cooperate with Mitxel Group!”
Lucy flashed a smile. “Mr. Guerrero, do you have a pen? I shall sign the letter of intent now.”
“Of course!” Sheldon immediately pulled out a pen from his pocket.
The pen was made of pure gold and embellished with a few diamonds. Clearly, it was an expensive pen.
In a respectful manner, he handed the pen to Lucy and said, “Dear Ms. Lucy, as a businessperson, you'll need a pen. This is a gift for you. There's a saying in Eurasia, 'it's the thought that counts.' I hope you'll accept this gift.”
Lucy took one look at the pen and realized it was valuable. Her grin widened as she replied, “Of course. It's always a delight to work with you, Mr. Guerrero!”
With that, Lucy raised her hand to sign on the letter.
Meanwhile, Zeke was furrowing his brows.
If Lucy were to sign the letter of intent, it will cause trouble even if Rhett were to come.
“Wait!” He stopped Lucy.
Lucy cast him an arctic stare. “What's the matter?”
She had a bad impression of Zeke, for he had reprimanded her darlings and scared them out of their wits.
