Chapter 249
Yvette hung up the phone..
The three people at the door stared at her. The general manager and the young heir of Bamboo Hall was Samuel.
Samuel just returned from abroad this year to take over Bambog Hall. He was trying to operate Bamboo Hall more internationally, always looking for overseas companies to collaborate with to expand the business
Samuel gave Yvette a cold look, subtly sizing her up.
Samuel thought, ‘Sure, she’s pretty, but stupid. She talks about withdrawing investments. What a joke!
Samuel said. “Miss, that call you made was so phony. I don’t know where you heard that I was looking for investment and who you called. Have you ever found out what Bamboo Hall is? You think you can just act here?”
The two girls tried hard to impress Samuel, so they were doing their best to make a great impression. A girl said. “Miss, our manager already asked you to leave. Why stick around and humiliate yourself?”
Another tall girl didn’t want to miss out and said, “Miss, are you up to something?”
That thought hadn’t crossed Samuel’s mind, but hearing it from the tall girl made his vanity grow.
Samuel thought. The girl’s look and charm were indeed great. If she wants to be with me, I will agree.
With this thought, Samuel’s attitude improved, and he looked at Yvette with an arrogant gaze and said, “Miss, if you want to date me, I will agree, but today isn’t the best time. Mr. Owens is coming to dine with an important guest soon. There’s no time for me to date you now. Come back tomorrow, and we can talk then.”
The two servants were furious.
They thought they had set things up for Yvette on a silver platter because they didn’t expect Samuel to like Yvette.
They didn’t dare complain in front of Samuel and could only glare at Yvette, seething with anger.
Yvette stayed silent from start to finish, watching the three of them put on their act.
Yvette looked up, and her eyes sparkled with coldness, exuding a frightful aura, her gaze as icy as ever
The two servants instinctively took a step back, scared by Yvette’s gaze.
At that moment, Samuel’s phone suddenly rang in his pocket, and a sudden nervousness washed over Samuel without reason
Samuel took out his phone and relaxed when he saw his dad’s name. He thought it was probably another call urging him to come home for dinner.
Samuel didn’t wait for his dad to speak before jumping in, ‘Dad, I told you that I’m not coming home for dinner today. Mr. Owens is coming over and I’m busy at Bamboo Hall. Just eat by yourself.
A loud angry shout came from the other end, and the two servants shivered with fear.
“What have you been busy with all day? The investment deal fell through, and FastPulse Technologies mentioned that their manager rejected our investment proposal. Over a year of effort has gone to waste. What happened? Wasn’t this supposed to be a done deal? Something must have gone wrong. Check it out and see if there’s any chance of saving it.”
Samuel held the phone, shocked, suddenly recalling the call Yvette made earlier.
Samuel’s jaw was tightly clenched, and he stared at Yvette in disbelief, his face flushed with anger.
Samuel’s voice trembled, no longer arrogant, as he spoke into the phone, “Dad, I know what’s going on. I’ll talk to you later.”
Samuel quickly hung up the phone.
The two servants heard every word spoken over the phone. Like Samuel, they remembered the scene that had just happened and were frozen. Then they lowered their heads, feeling ashamed, not daring to make a sound,NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
The two servants knew they just offended Yvette, an important person.
The two servants thought, “It’s over. We will be fired.
Samuel was stunned. He had never run into Yvette during all his time in Betrico, and he was shocked that Yvette could make FastPulse Technologies pull their investment in a short time,
This was so ridiculous that no one would believe it.
The general manager of FastPulse Technologies, Lucy Raglan, was known as a formidable woman who never followed anyone’s orders.
Samuel gritted his teeth. Given the situation, he had no choice but to apologize.
Samuel thought, ‘She is a girl, and some sweet-talking will work
Samuel put on a gentlemanly demeanor as if the arrogant and harsh person from earlier wasn’t him.
Samuel gently explained to Yvette. “Miss, I truly apologize for my rudeness earlier. I was swayed by these two servants” words and formed a bias. I’m sincerely sorry and hope you’ll forgive me. Of course, I apologize for my impulsiveness and hope it won’t affect your dining experience”
After saying this to Yvette, Samuel turned and sternly scolded the two servants.
“You two, come over here and apologize to this young lady. If she doesn’t forgive you, you can’t work at Bamboo Hall. You might as well pack your things and leave.”
The two servants couldn’t care less about dignity and burst into tears immediately, and they said, “We’re sorry, miss. We shouldn’t have treated you so rudely. Please don’t take it into your heart and forgive us. If we lose our jobs, we’re done for.”
Yvette stood on the steps with her hands in her pockets, looking at them casually, and she slowly curled her lips into a cool smile.
Yvette thought. They are so ridiculous. Does an apology mean I have to forgive?”
All three thought they had convinced Yvette with their words, thinking she would forgive them, Yvette’s words crushed their hopes completely.
Yvette said, “Forgive you?”
The three looked at Yvette expectantly, waiting for Yvette to say she wouldn’t hold a grudge.
The next second, Yvette continued to say, “No way.”
Yvette was so determined.
The three were instantly stunned
Samuel was furious, and he couldn’t hide his anger.
But thinking of FastPulse Technologies investment, Samuel held back his anger and had to blame it on the two servants.
Samuel thought the reason Yvette was upset was because of the two servants, so he was going to fire them.
Samuel said coldly to the two servants, “Since this young lady won’t forgive you, don’t blame me. Go and process your resignations, and you can’t work at Bamboo Hall anymore.”
Upon hearing this, the two servants finally stopped crying, and they glared at Yvette with hatred but didn’t dare say anything, so they had to step aside and wait.
Samuel ignored them because his priority was to salvage the investment from FastPulse Technologies.
Samuel wore a big smile and said, “Miss, I’ve resolved the issue and fired them. Could you ask your friend, Ms. Raglan, the general manager of FastPulse Technologies to reconsider withdrawing? A partnership between Bamboo Hall and FastPulse Technologies benefits both parties, right? It’s a win-win situation, and it would be a shame to let such a minor issue ruin it.” Samuel believed he had clearly explained the pros and cons of the situation, so he thought Yvette would agree.
Yvette raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smirk on her lips, her eyes icy. “Are you done?”
Samuel nodded and said, “Miss, I don’t know what kind of relationship you have with Ms. Raglan, but in Betrico, the Lake family has some influence and connections. Getting too tense won’t help you.”
Samuel words were full of threats but he showed his respect to Yvette.
Samuel thought he was playing a clever game.
