Chapter 186
I was somewhat surprised. No wonder TY Media was leading by a wide margin. It turned out that undisclosed transactions were involved.
Steven whose expression wasn't too good was marketing with Linda. They almost talked non-stop, but their trading volume wouldn't increase.
On the contrary, TY Media's market cap quickly rose to ten million dollars, which showed its strong potential.
The attendees were all major shareholders and executives from various channels. Shining at this moment would be more effective than investing millions in advertising.
Seeing TY Media leading by a wide margin, other media companies were getting anxious.
However, at this moment, Steven and Linda walked to the side as if discussing something. Linda became increasingly unpleasant, even showing signs of anger.
I thought, ‘What are they talking about? Could it be that Steven wants Linda to provide sexual service?’
Once this idea came to mind, I couldn't hold it back.
I felt restless.
I told Marry, found an excuse to leave, and then moved in their direction. Luckily, Linda had her back to me, unaware that I was right behind her.
"What do you mean!"
"You saw it too. If this continues, our company will be at the bottom!"
"Then what do you mean by asking me to give sexual service? Am I not your wife?"
Because of the noisy environment, I couldn't hear clearly, but I probably caught some of it.
Damn, he was really planning to have his wife have sex with others.
How despicable!
"Everything is for the company. And, rest assured, I will be there at that time..."
"Steven, I regret having married you!" Linda suddenly raised her voice, turned around, and ran out!
Steven looked around. Since no one was paying attention, he hesitated to chase after her.
In the end, he didn't chase after her.
I thought for a moment and walked out of the banquet hall!
Linda didn't go downstairs but entered the women's restroom. I also went into the men's restroom, relieved myself, and then waited by the sink.
Hearing the sound of high heels, I quickly walked out. As expected, it was Linda.
I saw her, and she saw me, too!
Linda’s eyes were a bit red as if she had been crying. "Why are you here?"
Her expression instantly turned cold.
"Just came in with a friend." I took out a cigarette. "Mis. Foster, why are your eyes reddened?"
She glared at me. "Is it any of your business?"
"It's not." I shook my head. "Just out of subordinate concern."
After saying that, I walked away, and she asked, "Where are you going?"
"Oh, to smoke a cigarette!" I wondered if Linda would come over. The chances of her returning to the banquet hall at this moment were slim, but she wouldn't leave directly.
After all, Jenny and the others were still downstairs. As long as she left, she would be noticed.
The banquet was not over yet. If Linda had already left, what would they think?
At this moment, if I showed up, there was a certain probability that she would come over. Besides, Linda smoked. When I went to her office, there were cigarette butts on her desk.
As expected, as soon as I entered the fire escape, the door was pushed open behind me. "Give me one!" I deliberately looked surprised. She frowned and said, "Didn't you hear me?"
"Oh!" I quickly took out a cigarette. "It's not a ladies' cigarette. It's stronger in flavor. Take it slow, don't inhale too deeply!"
I lit it for her, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward. In the dim light, two dimly lit cigarette ends flickered.
The smell of smoke mixed with the pleasant fragrance on her body, creating a unique scent.
This scent was intoxicating, making me unconsciously draw closer.
"Help me out!" Linda flicked the cigarette ash. "If Katherine can give you something, I can give it to you too."
"Mis. Foster, what do you mean?" I pretended to be puzzled.
"You're a smart person. You should understand what I mean." Linda said, "You're currently Katherine’s driver. I don't need your surface compliments. Just help me out privately and report to me on Katherine’s every move."
I thought, ‘Damn, is she asking me to be a double agent?’
"I'm afraid I can't do that." I declined.
"As long as you agree, I'll give you five thousand dollars each month, privately!"
Five thousand?
In the past, I might have agreed to this, but now, it didn't mean much.
"Mis. Foster, I can't do this kind of thing."
"Are you trying to be my enemy along with her then?"
Linda crushed her cigarette, her voice turning exceptionally cold.
"Mis. Foster, you misunderstand. I'm just a humble driver. I can't get involved in this kind of matter."
I thought, ‘How can I help you for just this small benefit?’
"I can't do this kind of thing."
"Are you trying to refuse me?" Linda crushed the cigarette, her voice becoming unusually cold.
"Mis. Foster, I'm just a driver. I came to work for money. Technically, you're the vice president, and I should agree to whatever you say. But, I'm lazy and cowardly, afraid that if something goes wrong. If so, I'll offend someone and end up in a bad situation."
"Just stand by my side, and I will support you. When the time comes, I'll make you a deputy director, even a deputy general manager!"
"Mis. Foster, I..."
"Either stand with me or stand with her. You figure it out and weigh the consequences yourself!"
What a blatant threat!
I was also annoyed. "Mis. Foster, if you want me to stand by you, you should give me the benefit."
"You're greedy!"
"Am I greedy?" I smiled and said, "Not at all greedy. It's just that you're forcing me to do something I don't want to do. And although five thousand dollars is a lot, I'm confident I can earn several tens of thousands in a month."
She didn't refute but said, "Indeed, by cozying up to Walker Company and Winest Company, you do have the ability to say such things. It seems that I set the price too low."
Linda chuckled, "In that case, ten thousand dollars a month. Next month, I guarantee you the position of deputy general manager."
Deputy general manager?
"But the marketing department already has Nicole."
"I promoted her. Having one more won't hurt!"
Well, it turned out Linda promoted her, not Katherine. I misunderstood Katherine in the end.
I couldn't figure out why she promoted Nicole. Wasn't one Jenny enough?
