The Beauty and the Brain by Natalie Jones novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186 

“Come here and give me a kiss,” Dennis said, and Marie was speechless hearing that. 

Who just said we should have a serious conversation? 

As she sat still, Dennis looked at her and said, “Marie, your man is the boss here. You have to learn to use the 

resources in your hand…” 

Stunned, she asked, “What kind of resources?” 

Dennis rubbed his brow, pointed to himself, and said, “Me. No matter how many stores you want, I can give 

them to you if you make me happy.” 

“Well, are you happy now?” she then asked. 

Dennis took a sip of water and said, “I’m all right.” 

“Are you so happy that you’re willing to sign me a store?” She then looked at Dennis submissively, trying to 

butter him up. 

Dennis shook his head. “No.” 

Seeing that, she scratched her head and said, “I’ll be your partner if I get a store in the mall. It shouldn’t be a 

problem for a partner to attend the annual corporate party of Whitney Group, right?” 

Dennis raised his eyebrows and looked at her, “Are you threatening me?” 

Marie immediately waved her hand. “No. I wouldn’t dare. This is a discussion. It’s just a discussion…” 

Dennis then nodded. “Okay. Remember to attend the annual corporate party.” 

After that, Marie leaned over with a smile. “Are you so happy now that you’re willing to sign me a store?” 

With that, Dennis picked up the document and walked toward his desk. “It’s passable.” 

Hearing that, she jumped up excitedly. “Yes!” 

In the end, Whitney Group and Maris Entertainment signed the contract, and Whitney Group and Maris Entertainment would work together to produce clothes in volume by using Whitney Group’s production line. The store was rented to Maris Entertainment on an annual basis, and as for the final store profits at the end of the year, Whitney Group would get 40%, and Maris Entertainment would get 60%. 

Marie was satisfied with the contract. The production line of Whitney Group would produce high-quality clothing in good quality. Coupled with the flow of people and high consumption groups in the mall, the profits. for the stores were also very considerable. 

After signing the contract, Marle put it away like a treasure before jumping into Dennis’ arms and kissing him on the face. However, before Dennis could react, she had already run away. 

As soon as Marie ran into the elevator, her phone rang. She then took out her phone and opened it. It was Dennis as he sent a text, [Don’t run, or others will think I slept with you in the office.] 

Get Borus 

Marie: [What nonsense!] 

Dennis [Ms. Spence, it’s just a business deal. Calm down and walk slowly.] 

She was speechless. 

Forget it! I won’t about what he just said for the sake of the benefits that Dennis gave me. 

In fact, even if she made a fuss, she wouldn’t win against Dennis anyway. 

When Marie returned to Maris Entertainment with the contract, Iliana was extremely happy to see it. She had 

lived for the Tuttle family and for her father for more than ten years, and now, she felt like there was finally a 

time when she could do what she wanted. 

Marie and Iliana then discussed what to name the new brand. Thinking that Iliana was the chief designer, 

Marie thought of the name “JT,” which was both fashionable and connotative. 

However, Iliana disagreed. Iliana was able to walk down the path of being a designer and be successful today because of the encouragement and help from Marie and Sasha. Therefore, she wanted to name the new 

brand “JCL,” which incorporated the name of Iliana, Sasha, and Marie. 

Both Marie and Sasha had no objections, so they found someone to design the trademark and took it for 

registration. 

In this way, the brand that belonged to Iliana and the three of them was officially born. 

There was a hot discussion immediately as soon as the news came out. Not only did Sasha’s designer have her own brand, but she also had her own store in the newly opened commercial building of Whitney Group. This was undoubtedly a piece of big news that not only shook the entertainment industry but also attracted. the attention of many people in the business world. 

For many in the entertainment industry, working with Whitney Group was something they couldn’t even imagine, and also, for many in the business world, working with Whitney Group was even more difficult. 

Who would have thought that in just two years, a small studio that wasn’t promising at the beginning would produce not only the best actor and the best actress, but also a popular pop singer and even a household-name young designer. And now, this small studio actually got to work together with the Whitney 

Group. 

Seeing the news, Olive’s eyes were red with anger, thinking, “Who does Marie think she is? Marie was able to get the contract signed with Whitney Group. Does this mean that compared to me, she’s even closer to a wealthy family like the Whitney family?” 

Olive would never allow this to happen. She would never allow Marie to live a better life than her. 

Nataly was even more furious. She humbly went to talk to Dennis about cooperation with him that day, but Dennis refused her without hesitation. But now, Dennis was working with Marie, Nataly didn’t know what kind of drug Marie had given to Dennis so that Dennis would spoil her to that extent, and Nataly was unwilling to 

accept it. 

As for Marie, she didn’t care what these people were thinking about. She was busy with the brand. Iliana’s 

Get Bora 

design draft had been completed, and the production line of Whitney Group had begun production. The store. was also accelerating the decoration, trying to officially operate after New Year’s. 

It was almost the end of the year, and the things that needed to be handled were almost done. As she 

promised, Marie went to the annual corporate party of Whitney Group. 

Everyone in Whitney Group knew that Marie was their business partner, so it was reasonable for her to come. 

to the annual corporate party. Dennis even fired the receptionist because the receptionist disrespected Marie. 

Many people speculated about the relationship between Dennis and Marie, but when they asked Cullen about 

it, he didn’t respond to them, so the scandal was then ignored. 

At the annual corporate party, Marie came with Iliana, and Dennis had openly invited her to an opening dance 

this time. 

Everyone thought that Dennis invited his new partner to dance as a sign of respect, and no one thought 

much about it. It seemed that Iliana and Andres had something to talk about as well, so Marie didn’t want to 

bother them. 

Nataly didn’t come this year. Not only did Dennis ban her from appearing in Whitney Group and in front of 

Marie, but she was also not qualified to attend. 

As the designer of Olive, Nataly could only stay in Olive Entertainment and work with Olive to find a way to 

take down Iliana’s designs. 

After Dennis finished dancing with Marie, he then very gentlemanly escorted her to the lounge, saying, “When 

will you change your identity to attend the annual corporate party?” 

Stunned, Marie asked, “What identity?”. 

“The identity of my girlfriend, perhaps?” Dennis said. 

“I’m your girlfriend, aren’t I?” she muttered. 

“Then what identity do you want? To be my wife?” Dennis raised his eyebrows at her. 

Marie’s face instantly turned red. Glaring at him, she said, “I’m not playing with you anymore. I’m going
