Chapter 26: Meeting the Partners
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Since the Vice President has such an awareness, we won’t pursue today’s matter. I hope you’ll do as you say and not back off because of difficulties.”
The man stared at Olivia. He was well aware of the temper of one of the business partners. If they didn’t send out a young and beautiful lady like Olivia, they might not agree to negotiate.
After taking so many shares of the company and chasing away their Goddess Sophia, how could she not suffer a little? A wicked smile flashed across his lips when no one was paying attention, and evil plans started to form in his heart.
“Oh? Will it be hard?”
Olivia played with her fingers.
Difficult? What kind of suffering hadn’t she experienced before? How could it be as difficult as those days in her previous life?
She had been humiliated in all sorts of ways, yet no one had pulled her out of the abyss.
Everyone thought that Olivia was afraid and wanted to go back on her word.
“Since the Vice President has personally made an appearance, I’ll head back first. There’s still a contract over there. I’m looking forward to the Vice President’s good news.”
Some people couldn’t bear it any longer and found excuses to leave. A person with a bit of white hair slowly walked up to Olivia and patted her shoulder.
“Young lady, your courage is commendable. However, not all of these business partners are easy to deal with. Some are cunning, while others are lecherous. Young ladies like you are easily taken advantage of. If you really can’t reach an agreement, then forget it. Don’t put yourself in danger.”
Her face was kind, and there was worry and kindness in her eyes. It was like a warm current flowing through Olivia’s heart. If Robert hadn’t used her in her previous life, she wouldn’t have ended up in such a tragic state.
Tears welled up in her eyes as Olivia thought about this. She smiled, took the old woman’s hand from her shoulder, and patted it.
“Thank you, senior. I know, hehe. Don’t worry, I’ll cherish myself. Don’t worry too much.”
The old woman smiled. She didn’t look old, but she had taken good care of her face. The Garcia Corporation wasn’t a small group that had just been listed, and those who could invest in the company had a certain amount of wealth.
The old woman nodded and left with her hands behind her back.
Joseph wasn’t worried about anything happening to Olivia at all. He picked up a stack of documents and threw them in front of his eldest daughter. There wasn’t a hint of pity on his face.
Olivia didn’t expect this disgusting man to be able to do anything or say anything. Instead, she stood there and looked at Joseph. She had no intention of picking them up.
“Why? Do you want me to pick them up for you?”
Joseph glared at Olivia and stood up to leave the conference room.
Only then did Olivia shed her strong facade. She couldn’t believe that this was her biological father. She still had his blood in her, so how could there be such a huge difference in treatment?
It was as if nothing she did was right. No matter what, she could not change his expression. Even if she did not do anything and just stood there, it would be her fault. She could also inexplicably provoke him.
Olivia squatted down and curled into a ball. After a while, she picked up the messy documents. She adjusted her facial expression and walked out of the office with a smile.
Brian had not left, and the car was still there.
Brian stood in front of the car like a child who had lost his way and was waiting for his parents. As he watched Olivia walk in the car, he felt that all the beauty was on her, and he wanted to protect this beauty for the rest of his life.
“How is it?”
The concern in his tone made Olivia lose all pretense. She acted like a little girl and reached out to hug the man. This was the first time she was willing to take the initiative to hug him.
Olivia’s actions made Brian feel flattered. Although he did not know what was wrong with the person in his arms, he knew that she must have suffered. He subconsciously reached out to touch her head and hugged her even tighter.
“I’m fine, you go ahead. I want to meet my business partner.”
Brian felt that Olivia should train as well. There were times when he could not protect her, so he had to let her become experienced. After all, she still had to manage the Garcia Corporation.
“I’ll get Paul to drive you there. You have to be careful not to fall into someone else’s trap, got it?”
Brian gently rubbed Olivia’s head and reminded her many times before leaving.
As the car drove off, Olivia flipped open the document in her hand and started reading it carefully. The first person was Michael Young, the biggest boss of Entertainment City. His looks were indescribable, and he looked extremely greasy.
“Mrs. Ford, where are we going next?”
A man wearing sunglasses came over and was looking at her respectfully. This person should be the person called Paul that Brian had mentioned. This was the first time she had seen his face clearly, and she did not have any impression of him.
“Let’s go to Entertainment City and meet Michael Young.”
Olivia looked as if she had a card up her sleeve. She had already thought of a way to talk to him. Before she knew it, they had arrived at Entertainment City. Paul wanted to follow them in.
“Wait for me here, or you can walk around. I’ll be out soon. I’ll call you then, and we’ll meet here.”
She really didn’t want to trouble Paul. It was just a business deal, so there was no need for him to make such a big deal out of it.
Olivia saved Paul’s phone number and walked in alone. It was a place filled with all kinds of gambling.
The moment they entered, a bodyguard-like person came.
“May I ask if the Garcia Corporation is here to discuss a collaboration?”
Olivia’s face was filled with doubt as she hadn’t called in advance. Could it be that someone from the Garcia Corporation had notified them?
“Yes, I’m looking for your boss.”
The man sized up Olivia from head to toe. She was wearing a business suit, black stockings, and just the right high heels. She exuded the charm of a professional woman, and he nodded, intentionally or otherwise.
Olivia entered a small private room under the man’s lead.
Michael immediately sat down, looking as greasy as in the photos.
“Hello, President Young. I’m the Vice President of the Garcia Corporation. I’m here today to discuss the collaboration with you. I—”
Michael interrupted Olivia’s introduction. “How boring. We’ll talk about work as soon as we arrive. It won’t be too late to talk about it after we’re done playing.”
As he spoke, he poured a cup of wine and shook it before handing it to Olivia. He didn’t think too much about the wine he served and drank it in one gulp. It was red wine, sour and sweet, and quite tasty.
“Good liquor.”
Michael poured another glass of wine and passed it to Olivia, who didn’t want to drink. Their goal today was to discuss their collaboration. What was the point of drinking?
“President Young, if you want to drink, we can talk about it. However, we still have to discuss the business that needs to be discussed. After the discussion, we can drink to our heart’s content.”
Michael was a little unhappy. “As long as you drink today, I’ll arrange ten contracts for you, let alone this business deal.”
He crossed his arms and looked at the sexy Olivia as if he was certain that she would continue drinking for the sake of the business deal.
