The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1059

Jordan deliberately held my hand just now for Theo to see so he would get the wrong idea.

This man deserved to be beaten up!

There was suddenly a round of applause around us. The person on stage was done with the presentation of his bid proposal.

It was my turn next. I grew even more nervous now.

I glanced at Jordan's blank expression and got up to walk toward the stage.

Theo was sitting on a chair on the left side of the stage. His cold, stern dark eyes followed me the whole way.

He must be hopping mad right now. I helplessly sighed and retracted my gaze from his face, handing my USB flash drive t o the staff.

There was a PowerPoint slide in the USB flash drive, which contained some data that I needed to pair with the bid proposal t o explain to the audience.

I glanced at the big screen and took a deep breath before saying to the audience down below, "Hello, everyone. I'm Wanda Lane, the person in charge of this bid for Fredericks Corporations. I am extremely grateful to be given this opportunity to stand here and present our bid proposal to everyone here."

A lengthy preamble would inevitably be superfluous. After a brief introduction, I explained everything on the bid proposal and combined it with the PowerPoint slide. Fortunately, I had read it in advance. Hence, my explanation went quite smoothly.

I was relieved to finish the presentation and was just about to go down when Theo suddenly came on stage and stood in my way.

He looked at me with a sullen gaze and asked in a cold, stern tone, "That was a wonderful presentation, Ms. Lane. Your bid proposal stands out and I approve of it. But there are some details that I would like to ask you about."

Looking at his charming face, I did not know what he planned to do next and nodded my head slightly. I said with a faint smile, "Please, ask away."

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "As we all know, Fredericks Corporations has rarely been involved in real estate development over the years. We can't deny that your bid proposal is very good, but that doesn't mean that it's applicable.

Fredericks Corporations has too little experience in this area. Do you think your proposal plan can be carried out smoothly?"

"Fredericks Corporations has long thought about this question. We have thought of many solutions, as well as how to solve problems that arise. You don't need to worry about whether this partnership will b e a success Mr. Grant. You can trust us."

Fortunately, I had thought about this question beforehand. Hence, I was able to easily answer it now.

Theo pursed his lips and did not say anything else. He looked sideways at Keith.

Keith looked at me, hesitating to speak.

I asked curiously, "Is there anything else, M r. Grant?"

Theo sneered. "If I'm not mistaken, Ms. Lane, you used to work for Grant Corporation. Do you remember the reason why you left?”

I froze, not expecting him to ask this question.

Without waiting for my answer, Theo looked at Jordan and asked with a slight smile, "Mr. Fredericks, do you know about Ms. Lane’s career history?"

How could Jordan possibly know?

Although I took the blame and quit Grant Corporation, Theo sealed all information, s o not many knew what had happened.

He was undoubtedly planning to use the incident which I took the blame for to embarrass me.

Jordan glanced at me, then looked at Theo, saying indifferently, "Everyone has their own past. I don’t know what she used to be like, but I know that she's now an outstanding person. I believe you have a past you don't want to talk about too, right, Mr. Grant?"

This was a complete textbook answer, but when used in front of Theo who knew all the details about me and was determined t o uncover my past, there was really no use.
