I helped Sean in.
At first, I thought he came to see if he could help us.
I didn’t expect him to go in and just say to Linda, “Linda, let’s talk.”
“Me?”
Linda froze.
She pointed at herself and looked at me in disbelief. She seemed to be asking me for help. She asked me in her eyes what Sean wanted to talk to her about.
I shook my head and asked Sean, “what are you going to tell her?”
“Follow me.” Sean said.
He was serious, but I couldn’t see anything in his face.
But we couldn’t refuse and could only help him into the conference room.
When the three of us sat down, Sean said to Linda, “I don’t think your studio is safe.”
“...”
As soon as Sean spoke, I suddenly understood what he was going to say!
He wanted to persuade Linda to move the office.
I adjusted my posture and was embarrassed and didn’t know what to say.
Linda looked at me and was confused. “It doesn’t happen very often.”
Although there had been several times.
And the cause was mostly me.
I said awkwardly, “it’s me. It has nothing to do with them.”
Sean nodded and continued to Linda, “I know. She’s going to be my wife. Even if she doesn’t do anything, I can’t fully guarantee that no one will hurt her.”
“I know.” Linda nodded and looked at Sean firmly and said, “but I think President Jessop should respect Becky’s opinion, and since I choose to partner with her, even if there is such a risk, I will not choose to give up, and she likes the job. I don’t think she’ll give up.”
Linda’s tone was very firm.
I knew she knew me.
Unfortunately, she got it wrong.
But people who didn’t know Sean thought he wanted me to give up.
Then I had to go home and be a rich lady.
Linda and Sean both knew me.
It was impossible for me not to work.
Sean listened to her and smiled. He seemed to be satisfied with my partner.
He nodded. “I know, but you misunderstand me. I just want to ask if you want to change your workplace.”
“What?” Linda looked at me and then at Sean. “Didn’t Becky tell you? We are already building a new office. If there is no accident, it will be completed by the end of the year, and we can move in next spring.”
“It doesn’t seem to make much difference.” Sean said directly, “the sub top level of the Giant group has been empty. I promised to keep it for her before. I respect her choice, but I hope your studio can move in.”
When Sean finished, Linda was stunned.
She blinked and seemed to want to say something but didn’t know how to say it.
She looked at me and seemed to ask me for an answer.
I was a little embarrassed. I bit my lips and nodded, “I said casually seven or eight years ago, but I didn’t expect him to keep it...”
“I don’t want rent or anything else. You can show the logo of your studio outside the building. It doesn’t matter how big it is.”
Before I finished speaking, Sean continued.
Linda was surprised when he said that.
But she was not happy.
I didn’t think Linda agreed. I said immediately, “you don’t have to listen to him. He just says it casually.”
