Chapter 145
"I say three nights for one deal, and they will definitely give the order to me. As long as the order is in my hand, it's like a fish on the hook. I can play with them as I please."
Grace revealed a smug smile, seeming to control everything. "So I live very comfortably, and my performance is far ahead. Although it's a bit shameful, that's the workplace."
After learning the truth, I was at a loss. Hearing her casually talk about the causes and consequences, I was overwhelmed.
She was a very scheming woman with a lot of experience.
It was hard to tell when she might laugh or cry.
I never knew if what she said was true or false, yet I still felt sorry for her, unable to resist wanting to sympathize and protect her.
This woman saw through men too well.
Grace was almost the best at controlling people.
"Why did you tell me this? Aren't you afraid I'll expose it to others?"
"Will you?"
She said, "If you do, then consider me blind and mistaken in judging people."
I touched my nose. "You don't want to date me, do you?"
"Do you want to date me?" she asked back.
"I'm afraid you'll swallow me whole."
"Are you taking me for a spider demon?"
"You're not a spider demon, but a more dangerous and seductive demon."
"You, a coward with lust but no courage."
Damn! Such a description again!
"Do you believe I could punish you on the spot right now?"
Grace provocatively straightened her chest. "Don't you dare. There's a jungle over there. Dare to take me in?"
I swallowed and jokingly said, "There are a lot of mosquitoes inside. If they bite you, that would be too bad."
"I knew you lacked courage!"
She covered her mouth and chuckled, "But you give me a different feeling. Although I am not a noble lady, I'm not a woman who can be taken advantage of by anyone. Although I'm greedy, I have my limits, and that is absolutely not being taken advantage of!"
I smirked and didn't say anything, thinking, 'Aren't you practically letting me take advantage of you now?'
But it was also for money.
"I know what you're thinking. In your eyes, I'm a loose woman, who can accept anyone."
I covered her mouth with my hand. "I've never thought of you that way. I believed what you said on the rooftop!"
"Really?"
"Certainly!"
Then she gave me a kiss.
But it stopped there. Even though I wanted more, for the sake of the long-term plan, I decided to wait until I got Grace out of Skyliho.
Taking advantage of her moved state, I said, "If one day, I have to leave, what will you do?"
I looked into her eyes. If there was anything special in her gaze, I could see it clearly. What I said before was just an excuse, and this was the main point.
"You want to leave Skyliho? Where to?" she asked.
"Have you really seduced the CEO of Walker Company and you're planning to walk in there?" she said.
I was speechless. "Where did this gossip come from?"
I had spent very little time in the company these days, so I had no idea what rumors were circulating internally.
"Walker Company and Winest Company support you so much, so many envy you, and some say you're planning to resign and change your job."
I shook my head. "How is that possible? Even if I were to change my job, I wouldn't go to Walker Company."
"So, you are indeed considering a job change?"
Grace leaned in. "Is that what you wanted to tell me during the day? Do you want me to come with you?"
Damn! Her intuition was so strong. I just casually mentioned it, and she could already make connections.
It seemed every woman was a natural detective.
But since the conversation had reached this point, I wanted to know what Grace thought. I couldn't spend months building a relationship with her, and even if I did, she might not leave.
In her eyes, money came first, not to mention the impact of her experiences during her youth.
"Yes, I want you to leave Skyliho."
I said, "You are competent, I mean in marketing. I want you to come and help me. I've started a company, and at the beginning, I need an experienced manager. If you're willing to come, you will be the manager."
"What if I say no?"
"Then there's nothing I can do."
I chuckled bitterly, "Everyone has their own aspirations. I can't force you. And I have to ask you not to tell anyone. Because for now, I can't leave Skyliho."
"I thought you might use those photos to threaten me."
"You're underestimating me."
I said, "I may be lecherous, but I'm not despicable. I can't stoop to using such things to blackmail a hardworking woman."
"John, you're really different from other men."
"Of course I'm different from others, as they're not aa charming as I am!"
"Come on!"
Grace pinched my waist, not painful, but I still grimaced.
"Oh, you're trying to assassinate me!"
She gave me a speechless look. "I didn't use much force!"
Grace said so but gently massaged me.
"Do you want to come with me?"
I grabbed her hand. "I can't promise you much because the company is just starting. I'm not even sure if it can continue. But if you come, you'll definitely have a critical position.
"You help me manage the staff, and let them achieve results for you. You don't need to flaunt yourself among men or waver between them."
I whispered in her ear, "You don't need to dress so provocatively. I hope you'll put on the clothes you took off, and only reveal yourself to me in the future."
"Are you being serious about this?!" she seemed a bit nervous. "John, don't deceive me!"
"It's true. Why would I lie to you?"
"Alright. I'm in."
I was delighted and couldn't help but hug her and kiss her. "That's great!"
Grace looked at me with a smile. "Actually, I had already thought you would leave the company. I just didn't expect it to be so soon!"
"You guessed it?"
"That day, when Mr. Foster and Mrs. Smith deliberately provoked you, and you exploded in public, I guessed it. You have Mr. Walker behind you, and Mr. Jefferson, and others all say you have a good relationship with them. Whether you're at Skyliho or not doesn't really matter.
"And you have such good resources. If you don't resign, that would be abnormal. Many people work at the company for a year and then start a business on their own. You're not dumber than others, so there's no reason for you to stay.
"And there's a ten-million-dollar project. You'll get two hundred grand while the company earns at least three million dollars. What a huge profit!"
I was secretly shocked. It seemed there were no fools in the company.
"Why do you trust me so much?"
"Because there's no future at Skyliho. Jenny won't let us go further."
Grace sneered, "You really think Lily's exploitation of you is unknown to others? No, we all know!"
