Chapter 65 The Plan
It was a deal worth several billion dollars.
"What's the deal? Did we outsmart our opponent? Or perhaps we just acquired some impressive companies? why would his lips constantly be curling upwards?"
"Find out what are the popular restaurants and attractions nearby that young girls love to visit," Philippe said. John realized that Mr. Bourbon's good mood had something to do with Miss Abella!
When he walked into the office earlier, he happened to see Mr. Bourbon talking to someone on the phone. Could that person be Miss Abella?!
"Mr. Bourbon, you are becoming more and more concerned about Miss Abella," John said. In the past, Mr. Bourbon would never have asked him to find trendy restaurants and attractions. He would just let him handle the work after a casual meal.
Ever since he met Miss Abella, the cold and distant Mr. Bourbon had become warmer. At least now, his eyes were not only filled with work.
"The old man is right. I shouldn't be solely focused on work. It's time to consider important matters in life."
John had several question marks floating in his mind.
"Mr. Bourbon, are you talking about me?"
"What else?" Philippe glanced at him with a cool gaze and said, "Once you have a girlfriend, you won't need to work overtime on weekends anymore, and your salary will be raised."
John was stunned. Last time, when he wanted to enlighten Mr. Bourbon about the benefits of having a girlfriend and tried to help him step into the realm of marriage... He almost got sent to Africa by Mr. Bourbon.
But now, has Mr. Bourbon had a change of heart? Could Miss Abella's charm be so great that it has made Mr. Bourbon understand the sweetness of love?
"Thank you, Mr. Bourbon! I will find a girlfriend When possible."
Just as John was about to leave with the files, he caught a glimpse of Philippe's phone screen lighting up. Someone had sent him a message.
What surprised John was not the content of the message, but Philippe's lock screen and home screen wallpapers, which both featured a silhouette of a girl! And the posture of the girl was Miss Abella!
"Do you find her attractive?" Philippe noticed his gaze and asked calmly.
"No, no, no... I dare not look at Miss Abella..." John lowered his head, afraid to look anymore.
"Are you saying she's not attractive?"
"Of course not..." John broke out in a cold sweat.
"Miss Abella's beauty is unparalleled. Words like 'stunning,' 'breathtaking,' and 'mesmerizing' are not enough to describe her. Her beauty is like that of a celestial being descending to the mortal world, unmatched in this world. You and Bourbon are a perfect match, a union of extraordinary talent and beauty."
Philippe curled his lips. "You have quite an extensive vocabulary."
"I am lacking in knowledge and learning, but Miss Abella's beauty has stimulated all the good words in my mind."
"Beautiful vocabulary, Miss Abella is too stunning!"
"John."
"Um, Mr. Bourbon, what can I do for you?" John felt a bit uneasy.
"You have been with me since you were eight years old, and I have not treated you well in terms of compensation."
John was stunned. What did Bourbon mean?
"No, no, no, I haven't been mistreated. The treatment you have given me is the highest in the industry! I am already content!"
"No, you must not have a short-term vision and be complacent with the current situation."
John: ???
"And what do you plan to do to salvage the situation?" Maria analyzed and explained to her, "The Lady still has feelings for you now, so she cares for you and spoils you. But as the days go by, their feelings for Lola will deepen while their feelings for you will fade away!"
"I know."
"Miss Lola, you still have to hold on tightly to Phillipe. It will benefit you in the future..."
"Well, what do you think I should do?" Lola had faced consecutive setbacks and couldn't bear the humiliation. After all, she had lived a pampered life for so many years and had never swallowed her pride like this before.
Since Abella returned to this household, Lola had suffered even more grievance than she had in the past decade.
"Miss Lola, listen to me..." Maria leaned in and whispered something to Lola.
Lola hesitated, "Can it work like this? What if..."
"There are no 'what ifs!'" A certainty flashed in Maria's eyes. "Even if Phillipe rejects you at first, as long as you move him with your sincerity, Lola will have nothing to worry about in the future."
Lola's hesitation lessened, and compared to before, she became more confident.she heard a sound from the corner. Her heart jumped, "Who?"
"Miss Lola, it's me." The person who walked out was the butler, Jacob.
Lola and Maria looked at each other, unsure of how much Jacob had heard of their conversation. Both of them felt uneasy.
"Don't be alarmed, Miss Lola. I am on your side." Jacob apologized in humility. "I apologize for startling you earlier."
Lola put on an air of superiority, "My sister is my parents" biological daughter. Aren't you supposed to side with her instead of standing on my side?"
