Ch. 781..790

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 781 "Mr.Tanner, you have an important meeting tomorrow.

Why don't we postpone the celebration party until tomorrow's meeting ity Damian had personally picked this assistant among the other interns.After bringing it up to Arianna, she immediately assigned the person to him.It was part of his master plan.He wanted to promote some interns and keep them by his side, which was his way of priming them.

Then he would slowly replace those in high positions when the power shift inevitably happened.

He knew how it worked in a world ruled by hierarchy, so this was his preparation in advance.

Damian wanted to get a few henchmen and kick out the old hags.

Besides his new assistant, he had also reached out to a few other interns.

Once he did that, he would host a celebration party and get his assistant to call them.

"What are we waiting for? Are you worried someone will snatch our trophy?"

Damian patted his assistant’s shoulder and continued, "Can't you see how smooth sailing everything is right now? If this continues, our department will soon become the company's backbone.Do you trust me on this? "Don't be too over-cautious.I chose you back then because I noticed that you're just like me.We're both young.We should be brave enough to fight for what we want.We work hard and play hard.Everyone has been working hard for the past few days.It's time we have some fun.Tonight will be on me!"

"Then..."

Since the assistant could not change Damian's mind, he hesitated and asked, "Should I notify Ms.Tanner and Mr.Hall?"

Out of all the people, Arianna and Nathaniel were also responsible for this project.Back then, Damian was the one that approached Arianna and practically begged her to put him on this project.

Since then, Nathaniel got demoted from being this project’s lead manager to being an assistant manager.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмEveryone knew this, and since this was a celebration party, Damian's assistant thought they should invite the two.

However, Damian frowned and suddenly hooked his hand around his assistant's neck while the other pointed at his nose.

"Child, why are you trying to rain on my parade? I am the only one that handled this project from the very beginning.Mr.Hall's been in the factory fewer times than I can count with my fingers.What did he do to deserve such a celebration?"

After a pause, he recollected his thoughts and continued, "As for Ms.Tanner, she's a woman.You guys won't be able to relax if she's around.We'll just leave her out of this one.

"We'll only invite those from the department and whoever worked in the factory."

After thinking for a while, he grinned cryptically.

"I've invited some models to come tonight.I hope everyone will have a good time."

Seeing Damian's determination, his assistant could not argue further and nodded.

"Thank you, Mr.Tanner, on behalf of everyone."

"It's no big deal.Carry on!"

Damian had his head held high as he waved dismissively.Soon, he would be the president.

"Did you hear about that idi*t?"

With nothing better to do, Nathaniel wandered into Arianna's office, sat directly on her desk, and poked at the fruit on her plate before taking a bite.

"Tell me, what celebration party is he hosting?"

Arianna frowned but did not bother to reprimand him.

Hearing this, Nathaniel raised his eyebrows.

"Are you invited?"

She shot him a look, and he immediately understood.

Of course, Damian would not invite them.

With Damian's proud and vain self, he felt that he deserved all the credit for this project to himself.

On top of that, there was bad blood between them.

There was no way he would have invited them.

"Not bad," Nathaniel said as he chomped on the fruit.

"People usually cut their support off once they've succeeded, but this kid is trying to cut you off before he's even on top!"

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 782

Upon saying this, he caught a glimpse of Arianna's face and stopped.

"Does he think victory is within grasp?"

"Enough about him.Look at yourself.Do you think victory is within grasp for you?"

Arianna immediately pulled the topic back.

"Don't say I didn't remind you.Be it the media or the paparazzi, you have to keep an eye on them.

"Ensure they don't make a fool out of you at the last second.Also, clean up after yourself, or you might get caught."

"There's nothing to worry about," Nathaniel said with a frown.

After eating the fruit, he clapped his hand and put the fork down.

"That idi*t is so full of himself that he promoted a few new interns in the company.Damian is trying to create a clique for himself.He's so naive; it's ridiculous."

"It's rare for him to have such an idea in the first place.He knows he will never be qualified enough to win over the old-timers’ employees’ hearts.That’s why his only way will be through promoting and cultivating a new group of people to be his loyal henchmen,"Arianna answered as she thoughtfully flipped through her documents.

Damian was not dumb but was too immature.

For someone who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth and was used to following his elders to deal with businesses overseas, he still seemed detached from reality.

To Arianna, all the tricks in his book were not up to par.

A prime example was during the perfume’s production.

If Damian allowed Nathaniel to intervene and help him, it would be hard to clear Nathaniel's name if something did go wrong.

However, Damian's arrogance did not allow Nathaniel to participate in the project.

Damian was determined to show how capable he was and take all the credit, but it seemed to have slipped his mind that it might be a hit or miss.

If the project were a success, all the credit would go to him, but if the project failed, he would have to take all the blame as well.He did not understand this concept; naturally, Arianna did not bother to tell him.

"I'll be checking out the catch tomorrow!" Nathaniel joked before standing up.

Just as he was about to speak again, there was a knock on the door.

"Ms.Tanner," Arianna's secretary called out.

Arianna shot a glance at Nathaniel and said, "Come in."

When her secretary entered the door and saw Nathaniel, she lowered her head slightly and quickly walked toward Arianna to pass her some documents.

"This is the reimbursement list from Mr.Tanner.The finance department sent it over for you to take a look."

"Hmm," Arianna hummed and opened the report, looking at it carefully.

Then she could not help but sneer.

"He really didn't hold back on his expenses, did he?"

"The finance department thought the same and decided to send it to you for your opinion."

"Me? What opinions can I have? Does my dad know about this?" Arianna asked.

"I would assume so, but..."

After a moment of hesitation, Arianna's secretary decided not to explain further.It was hard for them to discuss such a thing with their employers.

Anyway, the finance department had already checked through the reimbursement.

Arianna played with the paper as she pondered before saying, "Leave this with me.I think the young Mr.Tanner will splurge again tonight.We'll just reimburse him in one go.We'll discuss this tomorrow."

"All right," the secretary replied and left.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 783

It was nightfall at the largest nightclub in the city.

Ryo Nightclub had the fanciest private rooms, was the most well-equipped, and had the best service.It was also the highest-priced club around.

However, money was nothing to Damian right now.He booked a large private room and invited his so-called confidantes.

The table was full of various types of alcohol, as if he did not want anyone to go home sober.

"I invited everyone to this party tonight to relax and to cheer everyone up.We have a bright future ahead, and I hope we will continue working together until the end.In the future, our products will go viral and sell out!"

Damian raised his glass for a toast and proudly said, "Everyone has worked hard.Let me give you all a toast!"

"Thank you, Mr.Tanner!"

Everyone cheered in unison as they raised their heads and drank together.

At this time, someone said, "Hey, why are we still calling him 'Mr.Tanner?' Soon, he will be President Tanner! Hahaha!"

Hearing this, everyone broke into laughter.

Although Damian was glowing inside, he had to keep a calm face.

"It's still too soon to say that.It's not confirmed yet."

"Why not? From what I see, it's bound to happen."

Then another person chimed in, ''Mr.Tanner managed to get such a wonderful result just after taking over one project.No one in the company can do such a thing.Besides, you're the son of Mr.Joseph Tanner.You'll inherit his company in the future!"

Damian was beaming when he heard all this.He smiled but said nothing as he held his glass, allowing himself to be flattered.

However, there were always people who were a little ignorant and questioned in a low voice, "Doesn't Mr.Derrick Tanner have a son too?"

"Hey!"

Someone nudged the person who asked the question to stop him from continuing.

"What do you know? Mr.Derrick hasn't been in good health or even been in the company for a long time.If Mr.Joseph did not step in and helped, the company would have been in trouble.Besides, Mr.Benedict isn't a businessman.How can he compare to Mr.Damian here?"

"That's right! You have to take a shot because of what you said.We will all rely on the young Mr.Tanner to support us in the future!"

Amid the uproar, Damian was satisfied.He patted his chest and said, "As long as all of you work hard to serve the company, I guarantee you will all benefit in the future."

After hearing his promise, everyone was in high spirits, and the atmosphere became livelier.

At this time, Damian's assistant went out to answer a phone call and came back.

Then he leaned into Damian’s ear and said, ''Mr.Tanner, Ms.Schiffer isn't coming."

"What's wrong? Not even for my sake?" He suddenly felt unhappy.

Naomi was the model he had specially invited for the perfume advertisement shoot.

Some considered her an elite model in the city, and she had also been to some international events.

For someone like her to accept his photoshoot request was also because of Damian's connections.

He had personally sent someone to invite her to the celebratory party.She was supposed to be here to join the fun, and, at the same time, Damian wanted to show her off.

However, he did not expect her to be so late, and now, saying that she could not make it.

To Damian, she just seemed to be disrespecting him at this point.

His assistant quickly explained, "That's not it.I heard Ms.Schiffer is sick, and that’s why she can't make it."

"That's just an excuse!" he retorted.

"Did I not pay Naomi enough? Ask her how much she wants to get paid for her to show up.Also, remind her that although the shoot is over, she must work with the company for its publicity.Otherwise, I can sue her for breaking her contract."

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 784

"Um...okay then."

Damian's assistant then went to call Naomi again.Damian assumed that it was just one of those tricks that celebrities pulled.

To him, they were just trying to extort more money from him.

Nobody was out of his reach as long as he paid them.He sat down and had a few more drinks before his assistant returned a short while later.

The assistant had Damian’s phone with him this time and handed it over.

"Mr.Tanner, I don't think she's giving an excuse.I told her what you said, and she sent this over."

The assistant positioned the phone nearer to Damian's face as he spoke.

When Damian saw the photo, he almost dropped the glass in his hand.

"What the hell?!"

Naomi had sent him a picture with the message, "I had an allergic reaction.I'm in the hospital now.If you don't believe me, here's a picture of my face for you."

Although only half of her face was in the photo, she was flushed and covered in pimples.It was a terrifying sight.It was no wonder Damian almost dropped his glass.

"Put that away! That’s cursed! Why’d you show it to me?!"

He growled, "All right, who cares if she's not coming? Why don't I ask someone to send her a get-well-soon gift basket to demonstrate my consideration? We must leave a good impression so they can't find fault in us."

He took another bottle after pausing to reflect, poured himself a drink, and then said, "Hold up, get two more things for her.Then call some reporters in to take a few photos to show our company's concern."

This sounded like a good idea.Damian's assistant nodded and immediately carried out his orders.

Then there was another wave of flatteries.

They all praised him for his authoritative demeanor, incredible strategies, and the fact that this company was experiencing its most prosperous period.

In all of Damian's twenty-plus years, this was the happiest night.

Suddenly, he felt that all those humiliating years of his past were buried, and the path ahead was bright.

Meanwhile, Naomi slowly wiped her face with a towel, then looked in the mirror.

Although she did have a rash on her face, it wasn't as bad as the one in the picture Damian had received.She lightly tapped on the red dots, and her gaze darkened.

"Naomi, you're being put through a lot."

The person standing by her hospital bed was Eloise.

"Eloise, how can you say that? If I hadn't had your support back then, I'm afraid I wouldn't know where I'd be.This is nothing to me."

Naomi put the mirror down.

Although her face did suffer, it didn't matter.

"That's a result of both your talent and luck.I guess we're fated.After being out of the industry for so many years, I didn't expect you to become such a big star.Destiny is an amazing thing!"

Eloise was a little emotional as she said this.

If she hadn't stepped away from the scene back then and become a trophy wife, would her life have been different today? Would she be more successful? Nonetheless, there were no "ifs" in this world.

Nobody knows what life would be like if they could go back in time.Still, it made sense that someone who had lost something would spend sleepless nights tossing and turning over it.

"You're doing pretty well yourself.You can enjoy life with peace of mind and don't need to work hard to make money like the rest of us," Naomi responded.

"Am I?"

Eloise slowly sat on the stool next to the bed with a wry smile and said, "At this age, I'm still thinking of ways to help my children.Now, I'm here to ask for your help..."

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 785

This was the truth.It was as if the stars had aligned for Eloise to meet Naomi again.

This all stemmed from Damian's idea of hiring famous models to endorse his product.

Although it was the correct decision, he appeared to have ignored the budget.

If everything was as simple as he thought, why would they need him in the first place? Anyone in the company could have done the same thing.

Budgetary restrictions existed, but Damian also desired to expand his business into international markets.

As a result, all of his costs were cut.

Even the endorsement fees were reduced one by one.

However, he was adamant that in this industry, networking was more crucial than anything else and that the "friends" he made were reputable connections.He was quickly convinced after a quick resume check.

Although the proposed price was lower than the going market rate, he did not suspect anything.He had no idea about Naomi's friendship with Eloise either.

Seeing her sad look, Naomi was silent for a moment before she asked again, "I'm curious.How will my little allergic reaction help you?"

"Of course, it will."

Eloise reached out to hold Naomi's hands and said, "Do you still remember what we discussed?"

Naomi nodded, and Eloise continued, "It's simple.The hospital's test report will come out tomorrow, and the allergen will be the perfume."

"I have a concern.Don't I have to call in some reporters to take pictures?"

It would add to the dramatic effect if she were caught crying on camera.

Although Naomi had never been directly involved in the fights of the rich and powerful, she had heard stories of them.

However, she did not expect that they would be ruthless enough to destroy their own family once there was a feud.

Although Damian was in charge of that project, it was still a project under the Tanner Corporation.

When this matter broke out, it would affect not only Damian but the entire company, and the impact would be immeasurable.

However, Naomi was entrusted by Eloise to do this.

In addition, Naomi had already taken the money, so naturally, she would have to do what Eloise said.

"There's no need for that."

Eloise smiled faintly.

"Didn't you reject his invitation? Believe it or not, you'd be swarmed by reporters tomorrow morning.It's just that you won't look as good in the pictures."

At this moment, Naomi's beautiful face was ruined by the rashes.It was quite a distressing sight, but it could also be advantageous to her.

This would easily evoke sympathy from people, especially her fans, who would be pissed.

Public opinion would be the most potent weapon.

Once they had it under control, all they had to do was sit back and relax.

After leaving the hospital, Eloise got into a black car waiting in the parking lot.

The vehicle began to move as soon as she got inside.

Obviously, the car had come for her.

"Done?"

Nathaniel turned his head to look at her in the back seat.His face looked like he had all the puzzle pieces in place.

"How'd you know about my relationship with Naomi?"

She breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back, closing her eyes from the fatigue.

"Mom, you used to be a movie star.You're famous in the entertainment industry.

"I wasn’t sure if you knew Naomi Schiffer, but I knew you'd have the means to, even if you didn't."

Then, with a shrug, he continued, "If I want to get close to someone in this industry, who else is a better candidate to do that than you?"

"All right now, that's enough.Still, why have I never known that you’re so witty?"

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 786

Although there was a frown on her face, she knew that Nathaniel was right.

Not only did she know Naomi, but the two were also good friends.

After so many years, Eloise never expected this friendship to come in handy.

"Mom, I'm not trying to set you up.You're aware of what's going on.Our fate is on the line, and we're all in the same boat.Of course, we'd have to work together, don't you think so?" Nathaniel asked as he drove.

Eloise shifted herself and let the shadows engulf her as she sighed.She had never thought the day would come when she and her two children would unite and fight against her husband and his second family.

At first, all she wanted was to be a trophy wife and find a good family for her daughter to marry into so she could retire in peace.However, this was all wishful thinking at this point.

Joseph was going to take everything she had to raise another family.How could Eloise willingly let him do that?

"I've already helped you with Naomi.Are you sure you can do the rest on your own?"

She was still concerned.

Nathaniel focused on driving, and did not take her question to heart.

"Mom, why do you sound so much like Arianna? Don't worry.I've arranged everything, and he’ll experience his crash at an important meeting tomorrow."

He said with a sardonic grin, "For such a big accident to happen in front of so many shareholders and high-level executives, he wouldn't be able to climb another level higher even if he managed to salvage the project."

Nathaniel had everything planned out.

After being involved in the ups and downs of the business world for the past few years, he learned a lot.

Now, it was time to teach someone else a lesson.

The blonde -haired brat even dared to yell at Nathaniel because he believed he was in charge of everything.

Nathaniel wanted Damian to experience what it was like to be at the top of the world one moment and fall to the depths of hell the next.

"Your sister is just worried for you."

Then Eloise turned to face him and continued, "Remember, the two of you are siblings, and you're both my children.You two have to be on the same side, understand?"

Deep down, she was a little afraid after seeing how the two worked together to deal with outsiders.

Once that was done, what would happen next? Would they turn against each other to see who would come up on top?

"I know, Mom.I know my limits," Nathaniel answered, looking ahead with his hands on the steering wheel.

"This incident will have a serious blow to the company and will definitely leave a lasting impact," Eloise sighed faintly.

In all honesty, she did not want to witness the downfall of the Tanner family.

However, if it were about to fall into the hands of Elizabeth, she'd rather watch it crash and burn.

"Mom, you don't have to worry about this," Nathaniel repeated.

"If I can start it, I can end it too.This will undoubtedly impact the company, but I can assure you that it won't be a major issue.Don't worry."

At that time, he would be the hero who turned the tide, and his weight in the company would naturally rise.It was challenging to climb up the family tree as someone without the Tanner surname, unlike Damian.

Therefore, Nathaniel could only establish a firm foothold before slowly making his way up.He knew that he couldn't rush this.His vision was a lot wider than Damian's.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 787

The weather was excellent today, with the gentle breeze, fluffy clouds, and warm sun shining from the window into the big meeting room.

Almost everyone had arrived, except...

"What's taking so long?"

Joseph was starting to lose his patience.

After all, he had been waiting here for half an hour, yet the person was still not there.

"I can't get through to him, and no one's answering."

The secretary shook his head in embarrassment.

"Send someone to look for him, be it at his house or places he would be.We must find him no matter what!" Joseph growled.

He was on the verge of losing his temper.

However, he knew it was not the right time to let loose.

There were more important things waiting to be done.

Thus, he turned around and calmed himself down before re- entering the meeting room.

"I'm sorry for keeping everyone waiting.Shall we start?"

"Are we not going to wait for Mr.Damian?"

Arianna, who was sitting nearest to the main chair, asked casually.

Hearing this, Joseph froze.

At the same time, others began to chime in, "That's right! This isn't just any meeting.We are keen on hearing Mr.Damian's report on the new project.It's already 9:30 AM.Where is he? Why hasn't he arrived yet? Did something happen to him?"

"No, no such thing!" Joseph replied hastily.

"I think he had been working too hard on this project that he overslept.I hope we can empathize with him.I've sent someone to look for him.Let's all start first, and once he arrives, we'll get him to share the new project report.Of course, I'm sure we've all seen the results.All of you have a copy of the document, don't you? The results are gratifying!"

Upon saying that, he let out a hearty laugh.

Profit was the most important thing regarding a product's performance.He could note this project as a success.

Not only did it have a considerable profit return, but it also got off to a good start.It instilled a sense of hope in them.

Joseph felt it would continue to grow, and the possibility of this product hitting international waters was high.He had always been jealous of how La Beauté Group had monopolized the market share and earned such huge profits.

Since he had suggested they start without Damian, the others dared not go against him.

"Let's get started, then."

The meeting started with last quarter's performance summary alongside several project analyses.

Then they discussed the past projects’ experiences and reported the results.

The managers of each branch made their reports, one after the other, and the executives shared their opinions as they listened.

However, Joseph did not pay any attention at all.He was on edge as he secretly dialed Damian’s number on his phone.

Calls upon calls, there was still no answer from Damian.

Joseph started getting worried end angry as he cursed in his mind, 'B* stard! 1'll kill you when I see you!"

Damian s-ill had yet to show up, even after the last branch manager finished his report.

At this point, the high-level executives looked at each other, then at Joseph.

"Mr.Joseph, about this..."

"Should we adjourn for now?"

"Hold up, let's just wait a minute longer.Damian's almost here."

Then Joseph turned to his secretary and ordered, "Ken, make a cup of coffee for everyone here."

Although no one left to show Joseph some respect, they all grumbled inwardly.

Back when Derrick was around, nothing like this would happen, and everyone was very disciplined.

Everyone recalled how Benedict was once late and was shunned in front of everyone.

Later, he also had his wages cut as a penalty.

However, Derrick was stricter with his own son than the company’s employees.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 788

All this created a better impression of Benedict for the executives.

Although he was not interested in the business, he was not brainless.He would still offer some constructive opinions.

The current computer system in the company was his idea, and he even hired someone to set it up.

There were also several other profitable projects within the company that was all from his suggestions.

Everyone still looked up to him, but due to Derrick's poor health, he had been in a hospital for a long time.

As for Benedict, he went missing, and no one had seen him for a long time.

Everyone was losing their patience when someone pushed the meeting room door open with a bang.

Damian stood at the doorway, out of breath.His tie hung loosely around his neck, and his eyes were blank, staring ahead lifelessly.

Seeing him, Arianna felt relieved yet annoyed.He knew what day it was and how important this meeting was.

Yet, he showed up late and looked like a mess.

As he moved closer, everyone could smell a waft of alcohol from his body.

Damian was lucky that what he was about to report was in his favor.He could easily offset his tardiness and disheveled clothes with the result of his project.

Although it needed to be revised, it was better than nothing.

"Mr.Damian!" Joseph called out and quickly walked toward him.

Then his voice softened.

"Look at you.No matter how busy and tired you are from the project, you shouldn't show up this late.Everyone here is waiting for you.Hurry up and apologize to them."

Joseph nudged Damian, probing him to do something.

Then, as if he had just returned to his senses, Damian took a deep breath and straightened himself up before lowering his head.

"I would like to apologize to everyone whom I've kept waiting.I overslept and did not show up on time.I am willing to accept my punishment.I ask all of you, seniors, to forgive me!"

"Since you're here, let's just get started.We've all been waiting for you."

"The perfume department this year is the most anticipated and promising project we've developed, and your achievement has been great.So, Mr.Damian, please share with us about it," one of the shareholders spoke up.

Damian walked to the middle of the room and put one hand on the table.

As he turned to look at the big screen, he felt his head spin.He must have unknowingly drank too much last night.

When he woke up this morning, he saw that he was already late and had countless missed calls on his phone.It was horrible.

Those closer to him could smell the alcohol off him and subconsciously covered their nose.

Damian paused for a moment, and just then, Ken walked in with cups of brewed coffee.

Damian quickly reached out to pick up a cup and gulped it down, making the others frown even more.

However, he was ignorant of it.

To him, he had contributed the most this time, and he only showed up to receive their praises.

There was no need for him to care about how they felt.

Only after that cup of coffee did Damian feel a little better.

He took another deep breath, cleared his head, and said, "Now, let me report to you all the project’s results from the perfume department.

"I believe everyone already has a report in their hands.Our company's perfume was out of stock as soon as we launched them.The sales volume and profit are very gratifying..."

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 789

"My next plan is to expand the market.We'll first put the perfume up domestically before bringing it into foreign waters."His plans sounded almost perfect.He had even identified the relevant industrial chains.However, the executives looked through the report and frowned slightly.They did not look too happy.

"Excuse me,"

Someone raised his hand and interrupted, "We only have one perfume.Although we got a good response, don't you think we're moving too fast? Other companies have already monopolized the domestic perfume market.

"There are recognized brands from giants like La Beauté Group and other companies.This is the first time we've stepped foot into this industry.Shouldn't we take things one step at a time and stabilize our product first?"

The company's executives were from the older generation, and Damian's pie was too big for them to swallow.

"Mr.Park, you're being too cautious," Damian said with a smile, "You must have a fighting spirit in the business world.How can you break through the market if you're too scared? As you said, others have already monopolized the perfume market.

"How can we ever enter this industry if we're not brave enough? Besides, our goal isn't just limited to the domestic market.We want to go international!"

Damian was beaming with joy while several senior executives threw the documents back on the table and lowered their heads, pinching their nose bridges.

Although it seemed good at first glance, they could not deny that this young man had big dreams.

Although he achieved some results, one should never underestimate the domestic market.

The more Damian was ignorant about this, the more dangerous it was.

Sitting at the side, Joseph noticed the change in atmosphere and quickly stepped in.

"Mr.Damian is trying to say that he has already made plans for the next ten to twenty years.It's his long-term vision.We should, indeed, take things one step at a time.However, this is a perfect start!"

Joseph tried to smooth things out.

After all, he could not afford to offend these old-timers, as Damian would still need their help to stay on top.

"That's right! Our first-ever fragrance was an instant hint.That’s the best start we could’ve hoped for.It represents..."

However, before Damian could finish speaking, there was a knock outside the door, interrupting the meeting.

Everyone paused, but the knocking continued even more hurriedly.

Joseph was upset and barked, "who is it?!"

Upon hearing a response, the person outside opened the door.It was Damian's assistant.

"Mr.Damian—"

"Can't you see that I'm in a meeting? Get out!"

Damian immediately scolded with a downcasted face.

"I'm sorry, but this is urgent, Mr.Damian.can you step out for a moment?"

His assistant stood his ground.

If it were unimportant, he would not have knocked on the door at the risk of getting fired.

"Whatever it is, we'll talk about it after the meeting.Leave!"

Damian was ashamed that his assistant did not know basic mannerisms.

"It may be imperative.Mr.Damian, why don't you go and have a look first?"

Arianna, who had been sitting quietly at the side, suggested.

Damian was speechless.He looked around at the room and then at his anxious assistant.It seemed like it was something dire.

Then he frowned and said, "Sorry, everyone, we'll take five."

Upon saying that, he followed his assistant out.

"What is so important that you can't wait for me to finish my meeting? You know how important today is!" He suppressed his voice as he glowered.

If they were elsewhere, he would have flown off the shelves.

Spoiled by Mr. Russell Chapter 790

"Mr.Tanner, I'm sorry, but this is important! Do you remember how Naomi Schiffer was hospitalized?" The assistant asked anxiously.

"Yeah, I do.What's wrong? Didn't I get someone to send a get-well -soon gift basket for her? Is she trying to pull some strings?"Damian immediately assumed the worst when he heard this from his assistant.It didn't matter if she was a supermodel.The advertisements had been filmed, and she had also been fully paid.If she tried to pull something shady, Tanner Corporation had a professional legal team ready to fight her to the bitter end.

"No.Naomi's team is saying that she was hospitalized because of her allergies, and the allergens are..."

Damian became impatient as the assistant hesitated because he wanted to get back into the meeting room as soon as possible.

Damian kicked him and prodded, "Say it!"

"She said that she's allergic to our perfume and that our perfume contains ingredients that are harmful to humans," Damian's assistant spat out in one breath.

Then he quickly stepped back to prevent himself from getting kicked again.

"What?!" Damian was furious.

"She must have lost her mind! How is that possible?!"

"I-I don't think it's possible as well."

Damian's assistant did not dare to say much because the information he received from an insider was unclear.

"She's slandering me! That's nonsense!" Damian barked.

"Sue her! Find me a lawyer, and we'll sue her for slander! That b*tch!"

He started to pace when he cast a glance into the meeting room and became serious.

"Nothing of the sort must occur.If they knew about this, what would they think of me?’

"Keep this under wraps first.Get someone to find out what that woman is trying to do and if she’s trying to blackmail me.Warn her to stop talking nonsense, or she’ll regret it!"

Before things escalated, he hoped to sweep this issue under the rug.However, his assistant's face twisted as if he were about to cry.

"Mr.Tanner, it's too late! Reporters were at the scene, and I think it must've spread all across the Internet by now.I can't do anything about it!"

"Why were there reporters around?!"

Raw anger shot through Damian as he yelled, "This is all planned by her! How could reporters be there so quickly?!"

Damian's assistant remained quiet for a while before cautiously saying, "It must’ve slipped your mind that you were the one that arranged the reporters.You wanted to take a few photos for publicity when the gifts were sent to Ms.Schiffer."

Damian was speechless.He had indeed made such an arrangement, but who would expect this turn of events? He may as well have shot himself in the foot now.He expected the press to write glowing profiles of him at first and had no idea Naomi would announce that she was allergic to the perfume.He would suffer irreparable harm once the news got out.

Damian was in a state of bewilderment.

Given that he had never been in such a predicament before, he was at a loss as to how to proceed.

"F-Find a way to stop this from spreading as much as possible.Then see what that woman's deal is.Calming her down is the most important thing!"

If Naomi could rephrase what she had said, Damian might be able to redeem himself.
