Chapter 390 Free Praises
Seeing a trace of a smile in the corner of Elisa’s lips, Rachel was suddenly worried about Elisa. She sighed in exasperation. “Never mind. Let’s not talk about this. Let’s head to Uncle James’. Bring along your proposal.”
“Alright.”
The two of them packed and left. They reached James’ house at the time that Rachel said they would.
James had already prepared some snacks. When he saw that Elisa was with Rachel, James was astonished. “Liz?”
Elisa immediately nodded respectfully. “Hello, Uncle James.”
Actually…
When her dad was chairman, she would go to the office to help her dad out, so she had come into contact with some of the higher levels.
It wasn’t strange for them to know each other.
Moreover, even if they didn’t know her, with Elisa’s current reputation, they would know of her.
James let them in at once and said cheerfully, “Come in. Have a seat.”
Rachel chuckled, “Did you miss me, Uncle James?”
“You silly girl!” James scolded playfully.
When they were seated on the couch, James said, “Try it. All these fruits have just arrived today and taste good. The cake was made by our chef. It’s delicious.”
Rachel wasn’t shy at all. She picked up a slice of cake as soon as she sat down and put it in her mouth. She immediately said with surprise, “Mm! It’s delectable!”
James smiled and looked at Elisa. “Girl, you try it too.”
He felt quite sorry for Elisa. This child has a hard life. If her dad had been around back then, she wouldn’t be in such situations.
Rachel handed Elisa a slice of cake. “Try it!”
Elisa smiled as she took it from Rachel.
James looked at the two of them cheerfully. “Tell me, why are you looking for me today?”
Elisa’s eyes flashed a little. She didn’t keep him in suspense and took out a proposal from her bag before she passed it to James. “Uncle James, take a look at this.”
James took it from her, puzzled. After reading part of it, there was clearly bewilderment in his eyes, and he was a lot more serious. Not long after, he read the whole proposal.
Elisa and Rachel didn’t say anything. They didn’t want to disturb James.
He lifted his head and looked at the two of them. With a serious expression, he said, “Let’s talk about it in my study room.”
He got up first after he said it. Rachel’s eyes were shining, and her expression told Elisa that there was a show to be seen. She pulled Elisa’s hands and followed James.
When they reached the study room, Rachel shut the door, and James said, “Sit down.”
He walked to the couch and sat down. He held the proposal in his hands and didn’t say anything about it. He looked at Elisa instead.
“Liz, what are you trying to tell me by showing me this proposal?”
The content of the proposal was about the partnership with the Darcey Group. Every point and direction of development were written clearly, but Will’s condition wasn’t in it, nor was anything else, so James didn’t know what Elisa meant to tell him.
Elisa’s expression dulled a little, but she wasn’t in a rush to answer James. She asked him instead, “What do you think of the proposal, Uncle James?”
‘It’s very good.” James praised it freely.
Although James was a very kind and affable person, he had a very artful personality, especially about work affairs. It was rare for him to praise anything.
