Sweet Love novel Chapter 21

Eliot can’t agree more, "Good idea! Mr. Penn, our company need neither idlers nor eye candy. If she is able to assist you in getting the South Sea Project, nobody will have an issue with her; otherwise, it proves that she isn't cut out for the job at all!”

In fact, the key to business success is negotiation, which depends not only on the negotiators, but also on their assistants. However, considering that the project of the development of the land by the South Sea is a hot potato, it is really hard for a trainee secretary to help complete this task.

The reason why Eliot said that is that he wanted Macy Downey to beat a treat and then leave the Penn’s immediately. Of course, Yusef Penn knows it inside out.

Without saying a word, he turns his head towards Macy.

Macy notices Yusef’s gaze, stands up right away, and bows to everyone in the room respectfully, “If Mr. Penn agrees, I’ll be willing to assist him in getting this project, and thank you all for giving me this opportunity to prove myself.”

Eliot asks with a sneer, "What if the project fails because of your mistake?"

Macy grits her teeth, "I am willing to take full responsibility."

She knows very well that Eliot was deliberately embarrassing her, but what he said was reasonable. Given that so many C-level executives are listening to their conversation now, if she does not agree, it will show that she is indeed eye candy. She has no choice.

"Cool!" Eliot straightens up, "Everyone heard that, Macy just declared if she didn’t get this project, she would take full responsibility!"

Remaining silent, people sneak a peek at Yusef, who says nothing either. They finally relax a little bit.

It is just a small episode before the meeting officially begins. Soon, Yusef has others reporting on the details of the project.

About an hour later, the South Sea Project is handed over at the end of the meeting. Macy follows Yusef out of the conference room with a pile of papers about the project.

Distant footsteps coming, it’s Eliot that walks towards Macy; he glances at her, and puts a set of documents on the top of the papers in her arms.

"Send them to the archive room.”

He says, and then walks forward.

Quickly taking a look at the documents in Macy’s arms, Yusef looks upwards to him, "Wait!"

Eliot stops, turns over and then looks at Yusef, "What's wrong, Mr. Penn?"

" Are you paralyzed?" Yusef’s face clouds over now.

Eliot answers in exasperation as well, "Isn't she a secretary? Why can't I ask her to send a document?"

"She's my secretary. Please stay out of my business.” Yusef walks towards Eliot, directly standing in front of him. In face of his towering older brother, Eliot feels a tremendous amount of pressure sharply.

“I just wanna boss her around!”

Taking those documents out of Macy’s arms, Yusef throws them to Eliot, "You know what? If you don’t need your secretary, Im willing to help you give her the sack. By the way, please send these documents to the archive room within ten minutes, or you would be disciplined as you divulge the confidential information about our company.”

“Yusef!”

Speechless as Eliot is, he grits the teeth.

Yusef doesn’t want to waste time on him anymore. He looks away quickly and said, "Let’s go."

Following him in a hurry, Macy even doesn’t get it at the moment.

Eliot stares at them from behind with the clenched fists.

Macy sends the documents to the Director's Office. Looking at the man who just sits down and begins to work, she hesitates for a moment, "Mr. Penn, thank you for what happened just now."
