Chapter 423 - He would trust her more (1/2)

Jeremy did not look interested when Ellie An tried to give him what she considered as her most alluring look. HHis long finger tapped on the file as he smiled at the woman.

”It seems like your company is interested in building a business complex at City L,” he said.

”And your company will invest, right?” Ellie An said with a wink.

Jeremy held himself from scoffing. He ended up just smiled.

”And you think that I will agree without any presentation?”

Ellie's mouth opened but she managed to control her emotion. She smiled instead.

Jeremy's attention was diverted at the time on the clock. It was almost 4.30 pm. Has Ryn done with her work or she was still in the middle of her work?

Ellie sensed that she has lost his attention. Her eyes narrowed. Had she lost her control over men? When she was in the university, all boys and even lecturers were eyeing her with interest whenever she went. She could pick anyone she wanted but she did not think any of them was in the same status as her.

But it did not mean she was 'in love' with this man in front of her. It just hit her ego. This morning, she was full of confidence that she could get this contract easily but now, her presence was actually ignored by this man.

Outrageous.

She cleared her throat and amplified her seductive look. She even adjusted her shoulders and shook her head, letting her hair rested over her shoulder.

Unfortunately for her, he did not blink an eye at her. He looked back at the proposal with a bemused smile. He did not know where she learned that he would agree for cooperation with just one meeting with no presentation at all. Was she so overconfident about herself?

Or maybe other companies were not as strict as his. He would not simply agree to any contract without looking at the pros and cons and what the company would receive in the end. Would they gain a lot of the loss would be higher?

”Miss An, I will think about this proposal and we'll get to you later,” Jeremy said. He wanted to leave the office. He wanted to meet Ryn, to start his first step of wooing her.

It had been a long day for him at work. Surely, when Ryn knew how hardworking he was in the office, she would think how good he was and would melt her hardened heart a bit. Just a bit was fine as long as he got closer toward her heart.

”Jacob will contact your company for the next appointment. I would love to see your presentation on that day. Tightened up the proposal too,” Jeremy said after he stood up. He put the proposal in front of the shocked Ellie.

Ellie's eyes widened in shock. Did he just signal her to leave?

But he hasn't signed the contract yet!

”Am I actually coming here at the wrong time?” she asked after she took a deep breath.

Jeremy just smiled. He did not want to tell her the truth because he knew it would be impolite and rude, but at the same time, he did not like the way she suddenly came here without an appointment and expected him to sign the contract without even studying it first.

She should expect this kind of treatment from him.

”Let me walk you to the door,” Jeremy said without wasting any more time. He walked to the door and waited for Ellie to stand up and leave.

But it took her about five minutes to digest everything and stood up. She flipped her hair back and stormed to the door. She ignored the look from the other employees who were shocked to hear the angry tap-tap-tap from their boss's office.

”Jacob!”

Jacob jumped to his feet when Jeremy shouted his name. The others gave him a sorry look but none dared to approach him. They all watched as he grabbed his notebook and handphone and rushed into Jeremy's office.

”Why do you think the boss is calling for Jacob?” one of them asked his neighbor. They knew something would happen when that woman stormed into the office despite Jacob tried to stop her.

Poor Jacob.

Jacob closed the door and stood in front of the working table. He tried not to show how nervous he was as he faced his boss.

”Explain to me how she managed to come in here without an appointment?” Jeremy c.o.c.ked an eyebrow at his personal assistant. He did not even ask Jacob to handle his music career, only helping him handling his schedules and whatnot for both companies, as well as some little things like reminding him for special anniversaries if he was too busy to remember. And this happened?
