Chapter 300 My Meeting
Ten minutes later, Milan returned. Because he couldn't get through on the phone, he was a bit hesitant.
As he walked towards the seat, he noticed Eudora's shoulder-length top had slipped down a bit, revealing her delicate skin.
His heart itched. Someone like her, Michael definitely wouldn't want!
Besides, it was Eudora who seduced him!
As he took a few steps closer, the thought settled, and he made up his mind as he sat down.
"Miss Savoy, have you made up your mind?" he asked Eudora with a grin, "Are you sure you want this project?"
Eudora clasped her hands under her chin, smiling charmingly at him, "Yes, I am determined to get this project, Mr. Runyon. I hope we can sign the contract today."
Milan looked at her flamboyant smile, unable to contain himself, and placed his hand on Eudora's shoulder.
His fingers were thick, and his palm had a thick layer of calluses, kneading Eudora's shoulder forcefully, even causing her some pain.
Until his hand slid down her clothes, just slipping into her bra, Eudora promptly stopped him.
"Mr. Runyon, you haven't made it clear yet. This project, are you giving it to me or not?"
"Well, are you giving yourself to me?" Milan applied some pressure with his hand, smiling at her.
Eudora frowned slightly but quickly relaxed and smiled, "I said, I want this project. Our Synergy Global Corporation has the capability to handle it. Mr. Runyon, I hope you choose Synergy Global Corporation for its capabilities, not for me."
Milan motioned for her to remove her hand, "I've already made up my mind. If you make me happy, the project is yours. Are you sure you want to waste time?"
He glanced around, noticing even the waitstaff had been dismissed, growing more impatient, "Stop pretending. You brought me here already prepared to have sex, right?"
"I just want you to say it clearly. Do you want me to sleep with you in exchange for this project?" Eudora asked bluntly.
There was no one else around, the lighting was dim, and the large restaurant made it so that their lowered voices couldn't be heard in every corner.
Milan didn't think much, grinning and admitting, "You can think of it that way. Since you're prepared to sacrifice yourself, let's not waste time!"
He couldn't wait any longer, roughly tearing open Eudora's top.
Her black bra was half torn off. Not expecting him to have any gentlemanly demeanor, Eudora screamed as he pulled her to the ground.
The next second, Milan picked her up from behind, throwing her onto the table, pulling up her long skirt to reveal her smooth thighs.
"Let go of me! Don't touch me! You scumbag!" Eudora panicked, struggling desperately. She could feel Milan's body heat!
He started to take off his pants so swiftly?
She had planned to run while he was undressing, but didn't expect this.
"What are you pretending for?" Milan punched her in the back, "Didn't we agree? Don't act like I'm forcing you!"
"Let go of me, Milan. If you dare touch me, you'll regret it! Tristan won't let you off, and neither will Michael!" Eudora cried, her head pinned down, unable to move.
But Milan, already unable to hold back, didn't care about being let off or not.
Suddenly, Eudora felt a sharp pain, and she screamed, "I have a recording! I can sue you! Everything you're doing to me is recorded!"
This scared Milan, causing him to instantly become impotent. He hurriedly pulled up his pants, looking around.
Eudora broke free, quickly fixing her skirt, and fled with her bag before Milan could find the recording.
Milan, being a fraud, was only concerned about the trouble he'd be in if his impersonation was exposed.
He was in such a panic that he forgot to stop Eudora from leaving.
Back in her car, Eudora could still feel a slight discomfort in her body. No, this didn't count as being humiliated!
She shook her head vigorously, repeatedly telling herself she was still clean.
Driving home, she took a shower first, then reviewed the entire video she had just recorded.
Since it was her first time doing this, she couldn't fully control the camera angles.
The whole process didn't capture Milan's face!
But fortunately, it didn't capture her face either. From their conversation, their identities could be inferred, which was enough.
A scumbag like Milan didn't care about his reputation. Only by letting the higher-ups and shareholders of Runyon Corporation know about this would it matter.
The issue involved not just Milan, but the reputation and stock market of Runyon Corporation, which would surely prompt the shareholders to take action.
Then, she could seize the opportunity to get the project.
She edited the video to make it seem like Milan demanded sex in exchange for the project.
She refused, and then Milan tried to harass her but failed, and she escaped.
This video was anonymously posted on Runyon Corporation's internal website, causing quite a stir that day.
Some media speculated that Runyon Corporation had some issues, and within a short time, dozens of shareholders gathered, though it was unclear for what purpose.
Seeing such news, Eudora was very satisfied.
Just then, Travis and Ivy came to ask her about the Runyon Corporation project.
She confidently said, "Travis, Ivy, rest assured, I am 100% confident in getting the Runyon Corporation project."
"Are you sure?" Travis was skeptical. "I heard that White Corporation is in talks with Runyon Corporation."
"There are many people in talks with Runyon Corporation, but the real winner is the one who gets the project," Eudora smiled slightly, assuring Travis, "You can rest assured."
Hearing this, Travis asked, "What about Tristan? Is he still abroad? Did he really go to find Katniss?"
As he mentioned Tristan and Katniss, Eudora's hand hanging by her side clenched into a fist.
"Travis, whatever happens between him and Katniss, we shouldn't worry about it. He's done for, and Synergy Global Corporation falling into your hands is what we've been looking forward to, isn't it?"
Ivy shook her head, "I still feel things aren't that simple. It's better to be cautious and have someone investigate what he's really doing abroad."
Eudora nodded, "Alright."
Runyon Corporation was in chaos. The real Milan was furious when he saw the video.
But because his physique was similar to the one in the video, he couldn't explain it clearly.
"From start to finish, no one from Synergy Global Corporation has ever contacted me. This is pure nonsense!"
The shareholders didn't buy it and demanded an explanation. Eventually, Milan found an alibi for the time shown in the video.
"Synergy Global Corporation is not the same without Mr. Forbes. Their strength has waned, and White Corporation has taken many of their projects. It's said that a woman is now in charge."
"What kind of brains can a woman have? Always thinking of crooked ideas, but she made a huge mistake targeting our Runyon Corporation!"
The shareholders were indignant, ready to challenge Eudora in person and berate her.
Milan was not someone to be trifled with, known for his bad reputation. Someone dared to target him.
After thinking it over, he decided to launch a counterattack that would catch the other party off guard.
So instead of contacting Eudora to discuss the matter, he had the higher-ups at Runyon Corporation expose the issue as a third party.
The business world buzzed with rumors, part truth and part fiction, spreading quickly.
Eudora thought Runyon Corporation couldn't keep their internal affairs in check and patiently waited for Milan to contact her. But she waited for almost a month.
What she received was not Milan's contact or compromise, but a lawyer's letter, suing Synergy Global Corporation for defamation, damaging Milan's reputation, and harming Runyon Corporation's interests.
The matter blew up, and Synergy Global Corporation became the target of public criticism.
Facing Milan's evidence that he wasn't with Eudora that night, Eudora was also thrown into disarray.
This news was still conveyed to Katniss by Benjamin.
"Everyone is looking for Tristan now. The higher-ups and shareholders of Synergy Global Corporation are counting on Tristan to come forward and suppress this matter. But Tristan is nowhere to be found."
Publicly, Tristan's whereabouts were kept secret.
Only a few insiders knew Tristan had gone abroad.
And he hadn't returned for so long. Katniss had already recovered and returned home with Evie.
She was even planning her return to the country.
She knew Tristan was waiting for something, waiting to see her.
The midday sun was just right, shining into the large living room. She sat on the sofa with her long hair down, watching Evie sleep soundly.
She gently pinched Evie's little hand, thinking about the last message Tristan sent her: [I want to see you.]
There was no additional words, nor any incessant questioning.
She hadn't returned for a month, and he hadn't left either. He probably wouldn't leave until he saw her.
Saskia and Nicholas knew Tristan had come abroad to find Katniss.
The reason he hadn't returned was definitely because he hadn't seen her, and they kept sending a video call to persuade Katniss.
"You've already given birth. Just see him!" Nicholas was anxious. "You won't let him see the child, not even letting him know. You won't even meet him. How can you be so heartless..."
Before he could finish, Saskia pulled him aside by his hair.
"Katniss, don't listen to his nonsense. I understand your desire to draw a clear line with him, but seeing his persistence, some things need to be said face to face. What do you think?"
Some things indeed needed to be said face to face.
On the other end, Nicholas was still chattering, "Katniss, I'm not siding with him. I've kept your pregnancy and childbirth a secret. I'm on your side. I'm just anxious."
Katniss couldn't fully trust what he said.
If it weren't for Saskia keeping him in check, Nicholas would have already spilled the beans to Tristan.
So how was he on her side? He was clearly afraid of Saskia.
She didn't expose him, smiling and saying, "Thank you, Mr. Kennedy, for keeping my secret."
"Are you going to see him?" Nicholas leaned in again, "If you don't, I'll introduce him to other women when he gets back!"
"Go ahead!" Saskia retorted, "I have a bunch of men to introduce to Katniss too!"
The two almost got into a fight, and nearly every conversation ended with them arguing.
Katniss said, "I will see him," and then hung up the video call.
She really was going to see him.
