Chapter 89
I said seriously, "I have an awkward request and hope you can help."
Gary was a prominent figure in Sevan's manufacturing industry, renowned for his expertise and the excellence of his produced equipment within the country.
Edward was currently in dire need of equipment.
But one thing was clear. He didn't get the equipment from Gary. Even if he had placed an order, it wouldn't have arrived so soon.
Gary owed me a favor, and in moments like these, it was time to cash in.
People were afraid of trouble, particularly unpaid favors which weighed heavily on their minds over time.
Gary said, "Please, tell me what you need, if I can be of help."
I smiled and said, "Actually, it shouldn't be too difficult. Edward is my friend. He has helped me a lot before, and his factory urgently needs some equipment. I was hoping you could lend a hand, Mr. Allen!"
Since I was a junior, I should act like one.
"I see." Gary smiled and replied, "This is manageable. Mr. Walker, my apologize for the delay. The production line you need you've ordered won't arrive until next year. However, these days, a company's funding chain has run into problems, and the funds have not been in place. According to the contract, I can dispose of this batch of equipment at will. So, if you agree, we can have the production line set up within three days."
Edward was thrilled. He warmly shook Gary's hand and said, "Thank you, Mr. Allen. I am so grateful. This batch of production lines couldn't have come at a better time!"
How could he miss Gary's intentions? It was clearly cutting in line and diverting someone else's production line to him.
This was a huge favor.
"Mr. Walker, you're too kind. It's also a coincidence. If John hadn't reminded me, I was planning to tell you tomorrow."
His words was simply wonderful. They were a breath of fresh air, instantly uplifting.
He gracefully passed the favor my way without making a fuss, making it smooth for Edward to hear.
This level of tact was gonna take me a minute to catch up.
Edward came over and shook my hand, saying, "John, you are my lucky star!"
I sincerely said, "Edward, you truly are my benefactor!"
Then I turned to Gary. "Mr. Allen, thank you so much."
Gary said, "We're like family, no need for thanks."
Edward was even more surprised. He didn't expect Gary to have such a close relationship with me, treating me like a younger relative.
"Has everyone eaten? How about I treat everyone today, and we can all go to JY Restaurant for a meal together?"
Gary said, "Sounds good, but John's still recovering. He probably can't eat too greasy food."
I said, "Edward, Mr. Allen, thank you for the invitation, but I might not be able to join you today. I have colleagues coming over later, so..."
"That's a shame, but JY Restaurant's banquet is excellent. I'll have have prepare something lighter for John later," Frank said.
"That's great. I haven't tried it yet."
I did my best to mediate the situation.
How could Edward miss that? He chuckled, "John, you wait here, and I'll be back later."
"Mr. Allen, shall we go?" Edward said to Gray.
Gary nodded. "John, let Lillian know what you want to eat, and we'll bring it for you."
The previously bustling ward suddenly quieted down.
Mary and Lillian also left reluctantly.
Finally, it became peaceful and quiet.
But not long after, Paul and Grace arrived.
Seeing me in the deluxe ward, Paul joked. "Wow, you're really something. This is where leaders and tycoons stay!"
I gave him a blank look. "If you're so jealous, why don't you get injured too and join me here?"
Paul chuckled. "No thanks, I'll let you have this luxury all to yourself."
Grace walked over and said, "John, make sure to rest well so that you can lead us effectively."
She leaned in flirtatiously, her front wide open, making me get hard again.
If Paul wasn't there, I would have to set her straight.
After sitting for a while, they left after leaving gifts.
But Grace sent me a message: [I've been renewing that room for you all along.]
Damn, even in my condition, she was still teasing me.
I would have to remind her of my prowess when I recovered.
As I took out my phone, about to reply to Rita, someone else arrived unexpectedly.
To my surprise, it was Lily!
How did she know I was in this ward?
And she came alone.
Lily carried high-end imported fruits and remarked, looking at the full array of gifts on the side, "Looks like you have a lot of visitors."
"Ms. Wilson, why are you here?" I asked.
"As your superior, I'm here to visit you on behalf of the company."
She seemed to have returned to her usual composed self.
She was truly multifaceted.
"Ms. Wilson, could you help me adjust the pillow? It's uncomfortable."
With my right hand on the drip and left hand injured, she hesitated briefly before coming over to help me adjust it.
At that moment, her dark hair fell and scattered on my face, causing an indescribable itch.
I took the opportunity to pull her down onto the bed. She exclaimed, "John, what are you trying to do?"
"Don't struggle. You have already injured my hand today. If you move, it might get injured again."
"You deserve it. Who told you to lay your hands on me?"
Despite her words, she didn't struggle anymore. "And you're so strong, I can't resist," she said.
Her wit brought a chuckle out of me. She always managed to find a way out for herself.
My hand glided gently around her slender waist, causing her cheeks to flush deeper. "John, what are you trying to do?"
I smelled her scent and lightly brushed my lips against her earlobe, knowing it was one of sensitive spots. As expected, her delicate body couldn't help but tremble, and a suppressed hum came from her throat, her hands tightly clasped together.
"John, please stop this!"
"Don't move. I've never seen such cute earlobes before."
I gently grazed her with my teeth. It felt as though a lightning bolt had struck her, melting her in my arms.
"I'm just finishing what I couldn't finish this afternoon, Ms. Wilson. Will you be my girlfriend?"
With someone like Lily, once you had figured out your strategy, you needed to launch a fierce attack, giving her absolutely no time to catch her breath.
Otherwise, once she regained her composure, all previous efforts would have been in vain.
"No, it's not possible. I don't like you!"
She bit her lip and said, "John, the company forbids relationships."
"So, we'll date date outside the office. Problem solved. You do clock out sometime, don't you? You need some downtime, right?"
I coaxed her gently.
My lips moved from her earlobe to her cheek and then to her tender and sweet neck.
I lightly sniffed and said, "You have such a sweet scent, truly heavenly. Ms. Wilson, you are simply stunning, absolutely beautiful!"
