Cindy threw the question to Jayla.
Of course, Jayla, who was a pampered young lady who only knew how to enjoy herself, was not aware that Cindy had negotiating skills.
When Cindy asked her this question, Jayla froze for a moment.
“But he said he’s busy…”
“That’s true, but you had one minute to talk to him just now. Ms. Jennings, I think you missed your chance. If there’s another opportunity next time, I’ll contact you again.”
Jayla looked at Cindy gratefully, took a deep breath, and held her hand.
Her long nails poked Cindy, but she was not aware and only held Cindy’s hand tightly.
“Ms. Yeager, thank you very much. I don’t know what I’d do without you!”
Cindy suppressed the disgust in her eyes and smiled patiently.
“No problem. Didn’t we agree that if you help me to solve a small problem, I’ll give you a chance? Unfortunately, I couldn’t help you...”
Cindy sighed regretfully.
Jayla took a deep breath and did not give up yet.
“It’s progress that I get to meet him. I will definitely seize the opportunity next time.”
As she spoke, she looked at Cindy.
“Ms. Yeager, please let me know when the opportunity arises next time!”
Cindy nodded. “Of course, but that person…”
“Don’t worry. She’s doing well. I won’t let people know that you know her. I’ll just say she’s my friend.”
Jayla spoke as a matter of course.
Cindy’s smile deepened.
The two ladies parted ways afterward.
Everyone in the circle knew that the Jenningses were in trouble. However, they did not know who the Jenningses had offended.
The Jenningses already started to liquidate their property. Various banks also started to collect debts from them.
Everyone speculated about it, but there was no evidence.
Gerard Lichman from J&L Corporation came back from participating in an overseas artificial intelligence competition. He won a good ranking and made a name in the circle.
Eric was a shareholder of J&L Corporation, so the two of them made an appointment to have a drink together as soon as Gerard came back from abroad.
They were quite close, so they did not choose a formal setting.
They went to The Good Vibes Bar.
It was Gerard’s pick.
When they stood in front of the bar, Eric frowned and looked to be deep in thought.
“Why did you choose this place?”
Gerard took out his phone and smiled. “Isn’t it new? I heard about it when I was abroad. Ms. Stanton posted this bar on her social media, so everyone in the circle knows how pretty the owner of this bar is!”
He pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and asked curiously, “Why? You haven’t been here? Or did the people here offend you somehow?”
Eric disliked Gerard’s nosiness.
He glanced at Gerard coldly before he walked in with an imposing vibe.
“Quit the nonsense. Did you forget how to talk after staying abroad for so long?”
Gerard froze for a moment, touched his chin, and did not know how to react.
However, he could tell that Eric’s behavior was abnormal.
