The CEO’s Pet Cat

Inside Asher’s office, Claude placed the newspaper on his desk and spoke in a heavy tone, “Asher, I know you’re still in love with her, but you have to be considerate of her current situation, okay? You’re in front of the media, and look at the state she’s in!”

Asher didn’t take the paper, but sank his entire body into the wide boss chair, his face full of shadows.

“Hey, are you listening to me or not?” Claude was very unhappy with Asher’s reaction, “Because of you, she has now been impeached by all the directors, and Director Wang has already united all the directors and is planning to use this incident to make her give up her position as president!”

Asher still looked grim and unresponsive, seemingly lost in contemplation.

Claude finally got a little angry, “Asher, you’re not going to do this and then run away like you did five years ago, are you? She’s in such a tough spot, don’t you think you had something to do with it?”

“Claude, did I say I wouldn’t help her?” When Claude was done venting, Asher finally opened his mouth slowly, “You go to Centurion right now with the contract, talk to her about our latest project and sign it.”

Claude froze for a moment and finally opened his mouth wide in surprise, “You’re so righteous, our new project is worth a billion, if it comes to fruition, their company will …”

“Well, I know all that, you don’t have to repeat it, so get over there!” Interrupting Claude’s later words, Asher said lightly, “Her situation might improve a lot with the chance of you bullshitting here.”

Claude was just about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and twisted his head, “Asher, why don’t you go, wouldn’t she be happier if you did?”

“Is that all the crap you have to say when you’re told to get something done?” Not giving Claude a good-natured glare, Asher said coldly.

“Fine, fine, I’ll go now, now.” Snapping back, Claude smiled sardonically, “Ugh, doesn’t seem to be in a good mood, catching a temper with anyone.”

After much muttering and muttering, Claude made his way to Centurion and met Mia.

The moment he saw Mia, he carefully noticed a flash of unnaturalness under Mia’s eyes, but quickly returned to normal and greeted him with a faint smile, “Vice President Xiang, what do you want to see me about?”

“Our company has a new project that Master Jun specified to work with your group, so naturally I brought the information and the contract with me, so if you think it’s okay, you can sign it.” Sitting down on the sofa with a big grin, Claude nonchalantly took a large sip of the coffee brought by his secretary.

Mia eased down across from him and said lightly, “Oh, so I have Master Jun to thank for that?”

“He would have promised you a favor, and now he’s sure to help you out. If you don’t mind, just look at the project first!” After a few sips of coffee, Claude pushed the information in front of Mia’s face.

Before Mia could reach for it, she saw a large hand reach over and take it in her hands, saying coldly, “Master Jun is quite thoughtful, I’ll take a look at it first.”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Looking at the imposing man in front of him, Claude smiled lightly, “If I’m right, I think this is Mr. Namgung.”

“You know me?” Turning his head to look at Claude, Nangong asked, his eyes all wary and defensive.

“You don’t have to be so wary, I’m not a bad person, I’m here, at best, to run an errand.” Innocently choosing himself out quickly, Claude was all smiles, he didn’t want to get involved in the emotional strife between these three.

Nangong asked with a cold smile, twisting his head to look at Mia, and then Claude, “Since your Master Jun is so sincere, why didn’t he come in person? Or, does he have a ghost in his heart, so he doesn’t dare to come?”

“Nangong asked!” Mia whispered out, with a hint of sulk.

She knew that ever since Nangong asked saw the picture of the two people embracing in the newspaper, his face had been gloomy. Even if Claude was here to talk business, he definitely wouldn’t give a good look.

“Mr. Nangong seems to be harboring a belly full of fire, and it seems that you are spreading your fire on the wrong person. I have just said that I am just an errand boy, Master Jun asked me to come over to talk to Miss Leng about the contract, so you have a ghost in your heart? According to this logic of Mr. Nangong, your group had better be out of business for you to feel that everything is fine, right?” Vaguely guessing what Nangong asked was angry about, Claude retorted nonchalantly.

In fact, if he wasn’t here to talk about the project today, he would really want to gossip about it.

If he’s not mistaken, this Namgung asks for Mia and is now getting jealous!

“Well, if you’re not feeling well, it’s better to rest for a few days, I’ll just talk to Vice President Xiang about this project.” After a period of silence, Mia finally spoke slowly.

Nangong asked, twisting his head to look at her, “I think, you want to see someone, right?”

“Nangong asked, if you keep stirring things up like that, you can just go back to America!” Pulling her face down sharply, Mia’s tone was cold.

Nangong asked, his expression changed instantly, his voice immediately softened, “Okay, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have talked to you like that, you mustn’t let me go back to America, okay?”

Claude sipped his coffee leisurely and watched the two with interest, excitement shining in the bottom of his eyes.

After Mia let Nangong ask to leave, Claude mysteriously approached Mia and whispered, “I can see that Mr. Nangong is jealous!”

“To the Vice President, I think Master Jun asked you to come to talk business, not to pry into people’s privacy.” Mia’s face was already unpleasant, and this turned even uglier.

Seeing that Mia was about to get angry, Claude hurriedly waved his hand and said offhandedly, “Okay, okay, Mia , I won’t say anything else, I wouldn’t dare mess with you!”

“Again, my name is Condensation, not some Mia, so remember that!” By the time he finished, Mia’s face had almost frozen, “If you’re so happy to gossip, then please go back, this project should be postponed!”

“My bad, my bad, I said the wrong thing, I’m sorry.” Claude snapped and hurried to put on a smile, if he couldn’t even get that right, he probably wouldn’t have to go back to see Asher!

Also, with Mia’s situation right now, Asher’s help is desperately needed, or else those boards won’t think to leave her alone.

Mia glanced at Claude coldly, a flash of dissimulation under her eyes, but quickly recovered and her voice returned to blandness, “Tell you what, you leave the information with me for now, I’ll take a look at it first and I’ll get back to you Master Jun when I have time.”

“Okay.” Looking deeply at the small woman in front of him, Claude nodded, “Make sure you let us know when you need us, we’ll help no matter what.”

Having been in the business for so long, he knew how heavy the burden of a group would be for a woman to take on.

Before Mia could answer, she saw a fat, balding man walk in, looked at Claude, and had a bad tone, “President, you’ve been back for so long, you haven’t taken care of the previous company affairs, and you haven’t started any new business, so shouldn’t we, as directors, ask what’s going on? Is it that the president doesn’t want to do it, or is it that he simply doesn’t have the ability?”

Claude’s face snapped cold, a low pressure suddenly forming with him as the loyalty, giving a chill for no reason, “This fat gentleman, you are?”

“Who are you again, how dare you ask me who I am?” Although he understood that the man with cold intent in front of him was definitely not to be messed with, Director Wang forced himself to act calm and composed, if he was bluffed by an outsider even in his territory, he might as well not go out to meet people in the future!

“This is the project I’m here to talk to your president about today, if Director Wang thinks that a billion is not even in his mind, then please ask Director Wang to also find a billion, no, a hundred million to show to your president. If you really find one, just forget I said anything.” Pointing to the documents on the table, Claude’s tone was very cold.

One billion!

Director Wang’s eyes were complete and utter shock!

“Director Wang, I’ve always respected you as an elder and the patriarch of the group, so I’ve always treated you with respect. However, since I came back, Director Wang has really disappointed me with his actions!” Mia walked up to Director Wang, her voice as cold as ice, “Also, knock before entering, this is the minimum courtesy and respect, don’t you understand that, Director Wang?”

“This …” Director Wang was a little flustered.

“Moreover, this is Vice President Xiang, the Vice President of Jun’s Group, who came over to talk to me because of a project, yet you spoke out of turn, even with this one, I don’t think you have any way to explain to the other directors, right? Did you think that it was easy to talk about this project?” Mia didn’t give Director Wang any chance to catch his breath.

Mia’s words hit Director Wang in every way, causing beads of sweat to seep out of his forehead, but Claude wouldn’t let him go, gloating, “If I leave with the information because of you, I guess you won’t be a director much longer, will you? Your president is good-natured, but if it were our company, you’d be gone already!”

“Sorry, sorry, I didn t see … it,” Director Wang pulled out a handkerchief and kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.

He didn’t expect that Mia, who hadn’t done anything since she came back, would negotiate a billion dollar project in a short period of time!

If Mia steps up to the plate because of what just happened, there’s no way he’ll be able to answer to the board!

“Sorry?” Claude laughed coldly, his dark eyes all cold, “According to me, why not hold a board meeting now, so that all the directors can see how Director Wang does things.”
