Chapter 199 Meet Jackie in Newton Town 4
I raised my head and paused. “Dennis, does Mario always go to M Country recently?”
He nodded, “The business needs to be expanded. Mario is in charge of overseas business. He has been working there recently. What’s wrong?”
“Can I ask him for a favor?” I was really worried about Diana. I hadn’t seen Diana for months. I didn’t even hear her voice.
Every time I called Alex, he hung up in a hurry. I didn’t know what had happened to them and if they were fine.
“Well, there is a gathering tonight. You can ask Mario then.” He paused and saw that I was taking out the things that I had put in the bag before. He frowned and asked, “What’s wrong? Don’t you want to go out?”
I nodded, “Diana and Alex are in M Country.”
He nodded slightly, “Okay, I’ll go out for a while. I’ll pick you up for dinner tonight!”
“No, thanks. I’ll drive there myself!”
“Clara, it has become a habit for you to refuse me. Have you found it?”
I was stunned. Looking at his gloomy face, I said, “It’s not what you think. I…”
“Okay, be careful when you drive tonight!” Then he left with a long face.
Was he angry?
Trouble came to me again.
…
It was seven o’clock in the evening. I parked my car in front of a restaurant. When I found the private room, everyone had already arrived.
In the large private room, besides Dennis and Mario, there were two other people. One was Marshal, who I had just seen a few days ago, and the other was Michael, the president of AC.
“Long time no see, Mrs. George!” Michael and I had seen each other at business meetings several times before, but we were not familiar with each other.
I nodded and greeted him politely. Then I couldn’t help but look at Marshal. Wasn’t he taken away by the police before? Why did he come out only one day later?
As Jackie said, even the police couldn’t do anything to him because of the power behind him.
But Newton Town was not a place where someone could be so dominant. Even if he was rich, he wouldn’t be so powerful.
“Mrs. George, nice to see you here. We meet again.” Marshal said with a smile. He didn’t look as vulgar as he used to be in the dining room. Instead, he looked like a gentleman now.
He was so changeable.
I nodded and tried to keep a smile on my face.
When everyone was here, Michael asked the waiters to serve the dishes. Then he began to chat with Dennis.
They were talking business. They generally talked about that the quarterly accounting of the business of George Group in Newton Town was still entrusted to AC.
With a calm look on his face, Dennis said, “Mr. Thomas, my wife is in charge of everything about the George Group’s branch in Newton Town. You can talk more with her.”
I was stunned. When did I begin to take charge of all the business here?
Even if the George Group moved the head office to City P, Newton Town was the base of the George Group after all. It was a huge group, and I could not manage it.
Mario was also a little surprised. He stopped drinking water and took a glance at me. Then he calmed down.
Michael smiled and said, “Mr. George, I even didn’t know this before you said it. It turns out that Mrs. George is managing everything of the George Group.”
I took a look at Dennis and didn’t know what he was going to do.
I had to talk business with Michael, which was about accounting. We had talked about almost everything in the last quarter.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
I looked at Michael and said, “Mr. Thomas, it’s not that I don’t trust your company. What happened last quarter caused great panic to the George Group, and that was also why I resigned. I can’t make the same mistake again.”
Michael didn’t expect that I would say so. He said, “Mrs. George, don’t worry about that. I promise that what happened last time won’t happen. To show my sincerity, I brought Mr. Kiplin here, who is in charge of the cooperation with the George Group. With him here, you can rest assured.”
I thought Marshal had a higher position in AC than Michael.
I couldn’t help but look at Marshal. He smiled “Mrs. George, what happened last time was an accident. I promise there will be no problem this time.”
I pursed my lips and looked at Dennis. “Can I refuse to cooperate with them again?”
Dennis raised his eyebrows. “Why?”
“I don’t want to get involved in this mess again and I don’t want to make the same mistake.” Besides, I was working for the Gibson group now. No matter why Dennis asked me to take charge in the George Group’s branch here, it was not a good thing for me.
Dennis narrowed his eyes and paused for a moment. Then he turned to Michael and said, “Mr. Thomas, I’m sorry. The misunderstanding between you and my wife last time has cast a big shadow on her. Let me put it bluntly first. I entrusted AC and Jo Turner Credit. Jo Turner Credit is a small company, but it made no mistake. AC almost made me go bankrupt. Although it didn’t cause any bad result, in the end, it made my wife resign. According to all of there, I’m sorry I can’t entrust AC again. ”
Michael and Marshal were both stunned. “Mr. George, you should be more clear than us about the problem of last quarter. The reason why the George Group was in trouble was not because of our problem, but because of the shortcomings of your own company. Your company needed to be cleaned at that time. AC was just the spark.”
Dennis raised his eyebrows with a faint smile on his face. “So, Mr. Thomas, do you think that you can be forgiven for what you did in the middle?”
Michael was stunned and his face turned pale.
The dinner was finished in a bad atmosphere.
In the car, Dennis looked at me with his dark eyes and asked, “What are you thinking about?”
Looking at the scenery outside the window, I asked Dennis. “You didn’t want to cooperate with AC in the beginning, so why did you set up this trap?”
He raised his eyebrows, “Just guess!”
“Dennis, you don’t have to do this.” I pursed my lips and was a little unhappy. It was really childish to invite them out and make a fool of them.
I was too tired to talk to him. There was no need to quarrel with him for this small case.
…
I had booked a ticket to City P. I was going to take a day off and then go back to City P.
I also didn’t expect to receive Jackie’s call. “Mrs. George, can we meet?”
Thinking of the night when they talked business, I hesitated for a moment and asked, “Is there anything I can do for you?”
She sobbed, “Mrs. George, I know I deserve it. But I really don’t want to be imprisoned by him for the rest of my life. I beg you. Let’s meet and talk.”
Dennis was not in the villa, so I had nothing to do now. After thinking for a while, I said, “Okay, see you at the Bridge Restaurant.”
She breathed a sigh of relief and hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, I changed my clothes and went out. When I arrived, Jackie had already been there.
