Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel
After knowing she got the chance to meet Jared, Hannie couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. She quickly walked toward the direction of the elevator as she was led by the receptionist to the office.
In the elevator, she didn’t forget to tidy up her makeup and touch up on her lipstick.
She thought that as a woman, beauty was her advantage in negotiating with men. As long as she pretended to be pitiful, Jared would be soft- hearted.
If she could even make him feel pity and fall for her, wouldn’t that make a great story?
“Miss Quins, you’re here. President Presgrave is waiting for you in his office,’ Stanley said.
Hannie smiled brightly. “Okay, please lead the way.”
“This way, please.’ Stanley extended his hand to invite Hannie in. She did not forget to use any mirror or glass that could show her reflection to check her current attire and makeup.
At last, they reached the door to Jared’s office. Then, Stanley knocked on the door before he opened it and entered the office. ‘President Presgrave, Miss Quins is here.”
She immediately revealed a sweet, faint smile. After she received a look from Stanley, she stepped into the office elegantly. However, her smile stiffened the moment she saw another woman sitting on the sofa because she had never expected to see Ellen in Jared’s office. Hence, she was shocked as she turned to Stanley and stated, “I… I’d better come again tomorrow because I have an urgent matter to attend to.”
“President Presgrave needs to leave for abroad at 3.00PM today. Miss Quins, you’d better hurry up and say it if there’s anything on your mind. Otherwise, you won’t have the chance to meet him,” Stanley explained. He was involved in the whole incident, so he knew what to do.
Hannie’s expression became hideous. Then, I’ve got to bow down and beg Jared in front of Ellen in this one hour?
Ellen sat on the sofa and looked at Hannie awkwardly standing at the door. She then resumed reading the magazine in her hand and did not even acknowledge Hannie.
Although she was rarely rude to others, she despised people like Hannie-shameless.
“Miss Reiss, good afternoon. I-Is President Presgrave around?’ Hannie could only behave cheekily and walked to the sofa to greet Ellen.
“What’s up?” Ellen asked while raising her eyebrows. I wonder if Jared did it purposely, considering that he left me in his office before heading off on some business.
“Can you tell me when he’ll be back? I need to see him about something urgent,” Hannie questioned immediately. However, Ellen purposely shook her head and replied coldly, “I’m not sure.”
“Miss Reiss, could you please help me in contacting him? I have an urgent need to see him, Hannie pleaded. I can’t offend Ellen now, so all I can do is beg her to help me.
Ellen, on the other hand, did not forget how arrogant and confident Hannie was at the party. Thus, she uttered aloofly. “Miss Quins, aren’t you capable? Why are you begging me?”
Hannie’s face became slightly flushed as she explained awkwardly, “I’m sorry for offending you before. Please forgive me, Miss Reiss.’ She was smart, so she knew that she had to soothe Ellen’s anger toward her since Ellen was in the office.
Otherwise, it would be useless no matter how she begged Jared as long as Ellen wasn’t on her side.
Ellen supported her chin as she looked at the forced look of plea on Hannie’s face. Serve you right! You should keep a low profile and be humble.
Just when Hannie put her palms together to beg Ellen again, the door behind her was opened. Jared strode into the office with Stanley. Seeing that, she leaped to her feet in delight. “Mr. Presgrave, here you are.” Jared sat next to Ellen.
Hannie, on the other hand, stood up and took a few steps back. She put up a pleading front and bowed while sincerely begging, ‘Please help me, Mr. Presgrave. I was just fooling around. I never intended to compete against you. I was simply too naive and childish. I’m truly sorry.”
“Ellie, did she help you cool down?” He tilted his head and asked Ellen. As a result, Hannie’s heart skipped a beat. She was worried now because of how much she had belittled Ellen at the party.
She had no idea Ellen would have the power to decide her fate. “Miss Reiss, I’m sorry. Please forgive me for being so ignorant.” She had succumbed to a very humble level now as she just hoped that Jared could save her.
Jared glared at her, his expression was cold. “Get lost and go back to your country. Don’t let me see you again.”
Her face was deeply flushed. That was the largest humiliation she had ever suffered, but she could only endure it because she had to reap what she had sown.
“Um… Will you be in charge of this project?” While blushing, Hannie continued to inquire. “I won’t let you off the hook if your family interferes with my projects again,” Jared warned.
She felt humiliated, after which she quickly nodded. “Okay, I’ll keep that in mind.” After that, she left in a sorry state. She did not forget to turn around and bow at the door, giving her complete sincerity, before she left.
After she left, Jared held Ellen’s waist and asked tenderly, “Have you cooled down?”
“Yes.” She nodded, and she never wanted to see people like Hannie again. “Stanley, invite the RY Company employees over. I’ll deal with them myself,” he told Stanley.
“All right.” Stanley immediately made arrangements for that. Ellen did not want to disturb Jared’s negotiation, so she retired to his room to rest.
When Hannie left the Presgrave Group, she called and yelled angrily to her assistant,
“Pack up and book the earliest plane ticket to return home immediately!” Her true colors were revealed once she got into the car. She bit her lower lip and glared at the building housing
Presgrave Group. This is when I’ve been humiliated the most, but I know that I can’t offend Jared and can’t afford to do so, either. I picked the wrong person. If there’s nothing important, I’ll never set foot in this country again. It’s so embarrassing. When Jared left the office with Stanley, an exasperated figure dashed toward him from the elevator out of the blue. When Stanley noticed that, he immediately stood before Jared and said to that person, “Mr. Turner, what can I do for you?”
“President Presgrave, I heard that you refused to let my son take over my position. Is that true?”
“Mr. Turner, your son taking over your position goes against company policy. This is al company, not a hereditary royal system, as in ancient times. So, there’s no such thing as the son taking over the father’s position,” Jared responded coolly.
‘Then, what about you? You could take over your father’s position. My son is so outstanding, and he works so hard. He’s capable of taking over my position. Please give him a chance…” Gavin gave him a pleading look. “President Presgrave, please do me a favor.”
“That’s impossible, Mr. Turner.”
“I’ll ask for your father’s help.” “This is already decided even if my father steps in,” Jared said solemnly..
“You… You hold others in contempt, don’t you? You’re just a boy to me. Listen. I sacrificed my whole life for the company, and my only request is for my son to take over my position. Is it wrong?” Gavin glared at Jared with deep wrath as if Jared was being unreasonable.
“Mr. Turner, President Presgrave is leaving for a meeting.” Stanley interrupted him to ask him to set aside his private matter. “I’m not going to give up like this,” Gavin declared before storming out.
Stanley put his hands on his waist furiously the moment Gavin left. “What’s wrong with Gavin? Why is he so stubborn? Why does he want his son to take over his position no matter what? It’s a modern world now. Why does he think that you’re wrong? It’s quite baffling.”
Jared recognized Gavin’s requirements. Gavin wanted to give his son a chance to develop his skills before he retired, owing to his unusual faith in his son. He hoped that the Presgraves would do him a favor.
“Forget about it. Let’s get this meeting started!” Jared stuck to his principles. He would not allow his company to be involved in string. pulling, so he strictly adhered to the policies.
Stanley nodded. I don’t have to waste much time worrying about this. After all, Gavin is just making a fuss. He’ll retire when the time comes.
At that time, a middle-aged man was pacing to and fro anxiously outside the lobby of Presgrave Group. When he saw his father coming downstairs, he immediately rushed to his father and asked, “Dad, how did it go? Did President Presgrave agree to it? Will I be promoted to your position?”
Gavin clenched his fists in frustration. “That b*stard rejected me, and he didn’t even consider it.”
Jason Turner soon became disappointed and even slightly enraged. “Dad, didn’t you claim that you have a very close relationship with the Presgraves? Didn’t you promise to help me get a promotion? You must keep your word!”
“I’m doing everything I can for you! Easy. Let me handle it. When was the last time I let you down?” Gavin patted his son’s shoulder. Since his son had grown up in a single-parent household, Gavin was everything to him, which was why he handled all his son’s affairs well.
