“Oh, are you talking about him?” Eleanor propped her elbow on the armrest and looked at Dominik lazily. “Dominik, you and I don’t think. alike. Think about it. Iron Pillar is Veronica Murphy’s chef. If I could bribe him to work for us, wouldn’t he become our pawn? On the other hand, the Ledgers wouldn’t trust Iron Pillar, but if they see how close he is with me, they will use him too. I reckon that he’ll be of great use to us, depending on how we use him.”
Her words made Dominik lost in thought. After pondering on it, he raised his eyes slightly and asked doubtfully, “Do you really think so?”
“Duh.” Eleanor flicked the crumbs of the toast off her fingertips. “Why would I be interested in an ordinary chef?”
These words were obviously against her will, but she said them for Dominik to hear. Dominik’s eyes sparkled with a hint of contemplation. After a while, he pursed his lips into a straight line and presented a smile. “You’re right, Eleanor. Tell me more about your plan.”
“Well. Here’s what I…”
Eleanor explained her plan to Dominik in a methodical manner while he listened to her attentively, taking her plan seriously. Afterward, he shared his own ideas with her and intended to craft a strategy with her.
“Hahaha. You’re my smart brother, after all. That’s a wonderful idea!” After listening to Dominik’s plan, Eleanor gave him a thumbs up. “Brilliant. It’s really brilliant. Let’s do it. I’ll head back first.”
She waved her hand, put her hands behind her back, and left the side hall triumphantly. When she turned her back to Dominik, the smile disappeared from her beautiful face. In contrast, her eyes were filled with a cold and chilling gaze, and she immediately emitted a dismal aura.
At Bloomstead, Shirley woke up early and cooked breakfast at home. She packed the food, brought it to Wade’s mother, and washed her.
After that, she hurriedly rushed to the company for work. After the regular meeting, Shirley called Garrick and invited him to the company, This time, he agreed readily. Jayden and Shawn, having learned their lesson, no longer dared to make things difficult for Shirley.
However, when Shirley brought Garrick to the company an hour later, Jayden and Shawn were truly surprised. They not only showed great respect to her but also flattered her.
“President Brennan, esports games are highly favored by young people now. It is a sunrise industry. If our companies collaborate, you will definitely be guaranteed a profit.” While leading Garrick on a company tour, Shirley explained the current industry situation.
“Mmhm. I’ve heard from Pia. After she found out, she fully supported me in cooperating with your company.” Garrick’s expression lost its leisurely ease as he was serious and proactive at work. He didn’t smile easily and exuded an imposing aura.
Upon glancing at Jayden and Shawn, he said to Shirley, “We’ve decided on the sponsorship, but I have something to attend to, so I’ll have to leave now. I’ll invite you over to sign the official contract later on.”
After saying that, he added, “Will this be too much trouble for you?”
“No, not at all, President Brennan.” Shirley shook her head repeatedly. “Since you have other matters to attend to, please go ahead. Thank you for taking the time to visit my company.”
“We’re friends, so don’t mention it.” Garrick patted Shirley on the shoulder as a friendly gesture and glanced at the two men beside her. “See you again, Mr. Stoll and Mr. Adler.”
“Hahaha. No worries, President Brennan. Allow us to see you off.”
“Thank you, President Brennan, for coming in person.” The two of them shook hands with Garrick one by one while grinning from ear to ear.
Then, the trio saw Garrick off downstairs, watching him get into the car and leave. Immediately after that, Jayden and Shawn approached Shirley and asked, “How did you become close with President Brennan?”
