Ch. 226..230: Stay Around You Now And Forever (Hunter Jackson) Chapter 226-230
Chapter 226 Scared of Her own Beauty
You can fall in love freely.
Sounds pretty good.
But she was dumped, shouldn't she feel sad?
Sally looked stunned but Joe was thrilled.
"So, I can pursue you from now on, right?"
He felt the chills on his neck, just like the way Terry's cold eyes made him felt like.
Joe faked a smile and said, "Oh well, I was kidding. I don't like Emily at all."
"Am I that unattractive?" Emily got off from the folding bed and glared at him.
"No, I mean... Um, I am just not that into you."
Joe faked a smile and stepped back quickly.
Of course, he liked her. She was a good friend of his, how could he hate her?
The problem is he didn't dare to.
Everyone knew he didn't dare to do anything because Terry was protective of Emily.
After all, Sally was prettier than Emily, wasn't she?
Even if he intended to hit on friends, he should be doing that to Sally.
Emily looked a bit hard to play up to.
Emily walked to the bathroom, closed the door and saw her messed-up face in the mirror.
She didn't know what she did last night, but the freckles made her face look dirty. But these freckles...
She raised her hand and stroked across her face.
Cosmetics were always harmful to the skin. To be honest, she hated what was on her face.
With a light sigh, she cleaned up her face with the cleansing foam.
"Sally, bring me some clothes." She called out from the inside.
"Okay." They got everything at the office because they often worked overtime.
Sally gave her the clothes and heard the showers.
She looked at the closed bathroom door then turned to Terry.
"She called me last night so I brought her here afterwards."
"Nothing special happened?"
Sally wanted to ask Emily and Hunter, but Terry blushed.
He walked to the window and glanced at the view outside, avoiding her gaze.
"We had some drinks then slept until dawn."
Of course Emily was the one who slept.
He got up from her body after hearing the words "Hunter" came from her mouth.
His mind was occupied with her breath and hazy drunk eyes all night long. But he couldn't help to think of the name she called out.
Just like that, he sat there in silence all night.
Sally and Joe looked at each other. She still wanted to ask, but he waved his hands right after to stop her.
"Well, Emily already decided to break up with Mr. Jackson in two years. We are just a bit ahead of schedule now."
Joe giggled. There was no need to ask since whatever happened already happened.
It was obvious that Emily was upset. But nobody knew how upset she was exactly.
Let time heal everything.
Selfishly speaking, Joe wanted Emily to be with Terry.
They knew each other too well after being friends over the years.
He could vouch for Terry that he would definitely take care of Emily if she picked him.
So wouldn't she be happier with Terry?
These were just secrets between the boys. Even Sally knew nothing about it. Disclosing it once was enough.
Someone opened the door and Lois walked in not long after.
"Oh there you guys are. I was going to call and make an appointment first."
"Well, where is Emily?" Lois said with a big smile.
"In the shower." Sally pointed at the bathroom.
"I got a call from the Sharp Group this morning. They asked us to talk about
signing the contract and they specifically want Emily to be there."
"Is it going to be signed this soon?" Sally and Joe exclaimed in surprise.
Terry also turned around and looked at Lois.
This was Emily's dream. She said she will make September Studio prosperous.
It would be like a magical step forward if they could sign the contract with the Sharp Group.
"I know! That's why I came over right after I received the call."
They could tell she literally rushed over here because of her rapid breath.
"A long delay may cause troubles. So, we should sign it as soon as possible."
After all, they never did business with such a big company. Having a studio small like theirs, there was nothing they could do if the Sharp Group suddenly changed their mind, right?
With that said, the bathroom door was suddenly opened, and a girl walked out. Emily was still carrying a vapor of water all over her body because of the shower. Her wet long hair was dripping water, creating a misty color.
She wiped her hair with a towel while coming out of the bathroom.
The four people in the lounge all fixed their eyes on her face. No one could look away even just for a moment.
What a beauty!
No, she is like a fairy!noveldrama
The freckles were all gone and her face were clean and delicate. She looked like she was blushing because of the hot shower.
Her eyes looked even brighter under the long eyelashes. Her skin set off her eyes which were already gorgeous.
Her lips were pink as if a fresh fragile rose and were bouncy like a freshly opened jelly.
Without freckles, her facial features were like a masterpiece, exquisitely gorgeous. Her beauty was breathtaking that you couldn't look away.
"Who... are you?" Lois couldn't help to take two steps forward. She was tempted
to get closer but panicked at the same time.
She was way more beautiful than Wendy Gale. Do they know each other?
But they said Emily was the girl who was taking a shower inside...
"Are you blind, Lois? Can't you recognize me?"
Emily looked at her. There was no longer any pain from last night, only pure
calmess as if nothing could scare her.
It seemed like the shower had given her a new life.
"Oh wow, you really are Emily! Emily Gale!"
Lois was so surprised.
God, it was really Emily Gale, the hideous gal everyone knew of!
How could this be real? Did the ugly duckling become the swan?
"Did you have a plastic surgery?" Lois still found it unbelievable.
"Emily didn't have a plastic surgery. Maybe she had a treatment of cosmetology."
Sally was also completely dumbfounded. But if Emily had cosmetology, why were there freckles on her face before she took the shower?
What is more, rumors said freckles couldn't be completely removed. There would be some marks left after the treatment.
Where are the so-called marks on Emily's face?
Her face was simply perfect, without any flaws.
Joe finally gathered his thoughts, "I think Emily's concern is that her beauty might cause wars so..."
He exhaled out of relief and concluded, "So the freckles were cosmetic used to make yourself look ugly, right?
Chapter 227 There are Conditions for Cooperation
Too beautiful that it might cause wars...
It made Emily speechless.
However, Joe's statement obviously sounded the most reasonable.
Her freckles indeed looked like makeup used to make herself ugly.
Emily dried her hair and looked at Lois, "Aren't we going to sign the contract? Prepare the stamp and let's head out."
"But your face..." Sally stepped forward.
This was what she looked like originally. No foundation, no concealer, nothing.
Sally freaked out in the end.
"Why did you make yourself ugly? Do you know how uncomfortable we were when people called you ugly?"
She wanted to scold back every time someone called Emily ugly.
But Emily was definitely not good-looking. So, she worried if arguing could somehow hurt Emily's feeling.
So Sally swallowed her pride every single time!
But now, no one could find a prettier girl in Bentson University, not to mention Skyler University!
Even Bentson's socialite Wendy Gale seemed inferior to Emily!
Emily could finally hold her head high!
"Didn't you hear what Joe said? I was intimidated by my own beauty." Emily said indifferently.
"You'd piss off many people if you said that out loud!" Gosh, it was not a good thing to be too proud.
"Well, they might not be willing to agree if you said that, but they couldn't deny it looking at the way you are now! Hahaha..."
Lois was thrilled. She didn't feel confident enough when they were about to sign the contract with the Sharp Group.
But the odds of winning are definitely higher with such a gorgeous girl.
"I have packed everything. The appointment is at ten so we could leave now."
It's a quarter pass nine now. They could almost arrive there by car.
Emily dried her hair, picked up the laptop and headed out immediately.
"Let me drive you guys there." Terry grabbed the keys and walked in front of them.
They ran into Rufus and Aryan who just heard the good news and rushed over.
"We heard you and Lori are on the way to sign the contract. Can we accompany you? We will wait outside."
The Sharp Group was the second biggest group in Bentson City. It may not be as competitive as Jackson Group, but the difference was insignificant.
Especially they were going to the headquarter of the Sharp Group, its scale was unimaginable.
Observing the group they were about to cooperate with from the outside was exciting enough.
"We will sit in the car and wait..."
Rufus was interrupted by himself after he saw the girl behind Lois.
Who is this fairy? When did they hire such a beauty?
He was stunned for a second, "Is this our new colleague?"
Emily walked over and patted him on the head.
"Why did you hit me?" Rufus looked delighted even though it hurt a bit.
Her actions were perfect even when she was hitting people.
Even though Rufus was hit, he still felt really happy.
"Emily?" Aryan narrowed his eyes when he saw what she did to Rufus. His eyes were wide opened the next second.
It was Emily Gale!
The ugly duckling from Bentson University has transformed to a gorgeous lady!
He tried to calm down. Although he didn't find Emily ugly, but definitely had nothing to do with the word 'gorgeous'.
It was shocking when she suddenly became so beautiful.
"Emily?" Rufus stepped back as if he saw a ghost.
How could it be Emily? However, he saw the resemblance after a closer look.
It's just that the skin was so delicate and flawless...
Emily didn't bother to speak to him, looked at Aryan and said, "You should come with me. They will like you better."
Aryan nodded. The campus comic contest made him famous.
He may not be helpful if he goes with her, but as long as he could help a tiny bit, he should go.
"Emily, I want to go too."
"I want to accompany you too."
"Me too!"
Terry drove his second-hand seven-seat car, set off for the Sharp Group with the rest of the gang.
They imagined the Sharp Group before they came. But they realized the big difference between fantasy and reality.
The office area was so luxurious that you couldn't see the other end from where they stood.noveldrama
In downtown where the land cost a fortune, the value alone was not possible to imagine.
Also, with so many buildings, the area was even more horrifying than the luxury estate.
There had to be a reason why it was called the second biggest group in Bentson City. You could totally tell it was more competitive than most companies.
If the Sharp Group was so formidable, how intimidating could Jackson Group be?
You have to register when you enter. The security was like a guard in the palace, the inspection was very strict.
No wonder after Lois contacted their staff, she received a text message.
She found out now that it was the registration code for access.
They were released right after the code was scanned.
Very high efficiency and clear rules!
"If we got here in a luxury car, would they still need to register us?" Lois said with
a smile.
"You can give it a try." Emily was busy with the agreement file sent by the Sharp Group.
She basically went through it once, now it was the second time.
Roughly speaking, the Sharp Group invested 300 million on the animation APP, and their team was running management.
Their studio has 10% of the shares...
"10%!" Sally could see the countless money symbols after hearing it.
Counting it by fingers make you scream out of excitement.
"10% means, out studio already possesses 30 million worth of assets once we start the cooperation!"
Holy cow, 30 million! This was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
Did the Sharp Group run a charitable company? That was too generous, wasn't
it?
"There are conditions." Emily kept scrolling the agreement on her phone.
"According to the agreement, the loss must be controlled within 30% and all funds
must be used within a year." She said after a while.
All funds which was 300 million must be used...
God! Apart from the reserved liquidity, the rest had to be spent!
Everyone was shocked by such a huge number, to be honest.
They knew little about investing. Even when Emily invested in the studio, it was
nothing compared to 300 million!
300 million was a horrifying number to even think about!
"What... what if we failed?" Sally asked in a low voice.
Everyone's eyes instantly landed on Emily's face, except for Terry who was
driving.
Emily's eyes were fixed on the phone without making any eye contact.
"Not only will the shares be taken back, but we'll be working for them for free in the next three years." Emily said after a while.
Chapter 228 Everyone Seemed To Know Her
There was a silence for a moment inside the car.
Emily continued, saying, "The second condition is that we must achieve
breakeven within two years, otherwise, we will do free work for them in the next
two years."
"The third condition is that we must make more than 30 percent of the profit within three years, or else we must work for free for one year."
In fact, the conditions were absolutely favorable for them.
After all, they did not need to pay them back even though they made them losing money.
However, everyone's mind was weighed down. The most important thing was they must make a profit of 30 percent within three years with 300 million.
In other words, if they could not generate a net profit of 100 million in three years, they had to work for free.noveldrama
Nevertheless, they felt extremely excited at the same time with a heavy heart.
In short, they had mixed feelings. Frankly speaking, they were flustered.
300 million was a huge amount for students like them.
Was this the fund that Second Young Master Sharp allocated? It seemed like someone who was rich but stupid would do such a thing.
The car stopped at the main building and Lois was the first person who got off the
car.
Aryan and Emily came down after her.
Terry told them, "We are waiting here. Give me a call after you come down."
"Alright." Emily gave her an OK gesture and then looked at Lois, "Is there a rule to go inside?"
"I suppose not?" Lois also did not know because it was her first time to go to such a serious and large group.
Emily carried her computer bag and the three of them walked into the lobby after they sorted their clothes out.
As soon as they entered through the door, there was a female receptionist greeted them with an amiable smile, "May I ask who are you looking for? Have you made an appointment?"
It showed how well the job training of large company was as she could still be so polite to them after seeing them who could be called as the poor students in 'shabby clothing'.
However, it was obvious that there was no warmth in the female receptionist's smile even though she was smiling.
That was no way for her to not be polite because those who could enter here were either the big shots or employees of their company.
She did not know who let these children went inside.
"We have an appointment with Second Young Master Sharp."
As soon as Lois's words were uttered, the female receptionist's face sank slightly, "Excuse me, have you made the appointment?"
"Yes, it's the people from your company called us and let us come to the meeting at 10 o'clock."
"Alright, please wait for a while." The female receptionist walked to the outside reception department that was not far away, "Did Second Young Master call those children to come for the meeting?"
"Yes, don't you know that they are from the Bentson University?"
The other female receptionist smiled and immediately walked towards the three people at the door.
However, it seemed something was wrong. Why didn't the person involved come?
After scanning between the three of them, those eyes that could not wait to watch the show became slightly impatient.
"Sorry, Second Young Master appoints to meet Emily Gale. If Emily Gale doesn't come..."
"I'm Emily Gale."
This sentence was enough to make the employees that were passing by stopped all of the sudden, and more than 90 percent of them turned their heads and looked at the girl who was talking.
What a pretty girl! This was their first thought that flashed in their mind when they saw Emily.
However, how could she be Emily Gale? Wasn't the rumor of Emily Gale an ugly monster?
"You are... Emily Gale?" The female receptionist also looked incredulous.
Emily directly took out her ID card and showed it to her.
She was only 16 years old and she was wearing makeup when she took her ID photo.
However, due to the fact that heavy makeup was not allowed for the ID photo, she had to remove her makeup at that time.
Although the makeup was not removed very clean, at least her facial features could still be seen clearly.
It really was Emily Gale!
As soon as the female receptionist looked up, she saw countless curious eyes.
Emily Gale was famous in their group today.
It was just that no one thought the ugly monster was as beautiful as a swan!
"That.....” The female receptionist took a sigh of relief and said dully, "Well, I'll take you up."
Three of them followed her back and went directly to the special elevator that only those high-level executives could use.
After they left, the first female receptionist was grabbing her colleague that was passing by with a look of puzzlement.
"What's the matter? Why it seems like everyone knows who Emily Gale is?"
"Don't you know?" The colleague leaned close to her as she was afraid of being caught in discussing the private affairs of the Second Young Master during work hours.
She lowered her voice to a whisper and said, "The campus comic contest that the Sharp sponsors. You can search it on the Internet yourself."
"I know this..."
"No. I bet you don't know the breaking news this morning yet by looking at you like this."
The colleague took out her mobile phone and smiled slyly, "I have to send a message to my high-level executive friends and tell them that the legendary Emily Gale is here."
On the way out from the 88th floor, Emily could feel the strange gaze from everyone that looked at her all along the way she passed each of the lobbies.
Of course, it was not because she was really pretty enough to cause any commotion. Although they were also stunned by her prettiness, they were more surprised, explored, curious, and even waited for watching a show.
Why did everyone seem to know her?
Even the female receptionist, who took them up, also occasionally looked back at her when she walked ahead.
Her gaze was complicated whenever she looked back at her,
Eventually, there was even a little hostility through her gaze?
What had she done?
Emily's mobile phone short message ringtone was rung. It was from Sally, and
Sally even sent the messages several times in a row.
However, Emily could not see the mobile phone when she walked in such a
solemn, sacred, and high-level lobby of a large group.
So, she directly set the phone into the silent mode.
After they walked to an office door, the female receptionist stopped and knocked gently on the door.
A man's deep voice from the office could be heard, "Come in."
Although they were separated by a door, the voice was indescribably magnetic, sweet, and sexy!
The female receptionist took a deep breath, adjusted her clothes, and squeezed a perfect smile on her face before opening the office door.
This was definitely the most professional and the best smile! The female receptionist smiled and said, "Second Young Master, Miss Emily and her friends are here."
"Let them in." Henry did not even lift his head.
The female receptionist did not leave immediately. She stood at the door for a few seconds instead.
The Second Young Master was unwilling to look up! Even if it was just a glance!
How many times in a year could they, who work in the lobby on the first floor, come here to approach the Second Young Master?
She had shown her most perfect side, and yet the Second Young Master did not even look at her.
If the Second Young Master fell in love with her at first sight, she could also become his partner and eventually increase her social status and value in the
future!
After three seconds, Lois couldn't help but spoke, "Well, is he calling us to go inside?"
The female receptionist glared at her. She was trying to say something, but she soon realized that the Second Young Master, who she kept thinking about, finally raised his head.
He looked at this way!
The female receptionist hurriedly stood up straight, raised her head, and held her chest high. Then, she inhaled deeply into her stomach.
"Second Young..."
"Emily Gale, come in."
There was a look of displeasure flashed across Henry's eyes. He hated the
female employees that being coquettish and flirtatious in front of him, "Close the
door!"
Chapter 229 Emily Gale, Are You Dead?
Emily was puzzled. This voice sounded irritating, as if... he had a bone to pick with her?
She looked back at Lois. Second Young Master Sharp called her name only. Did this mean that she should go in by herself?
"Miss Emily, please come in!" The female receptionist's face darkened, and she glared at Emily.
Emily had to go in, and the door was immediately closed behind her.
"Then we..." Lois was stunned. How could he leave them out?
"Second Young Master only intends to meet Miss Emily, so both of you please wait in the lobby."
The female receptionist finally received such a good task to take the person up personally and had the opportunity to get close to the Second Young Master.
However, she did not expect that there was no benefit for her at all.
The eyes of the Second Young Master that looked at her were full of disdain.
No, the Second Young Master did not seem to even look at her directly.
The female receptionist was aggrieved, and so she threw Lois and Aryan aside on the lounge chair in the lobby and turned away.
Emily had no idea what was going on outside. After calming down for half a second, she walked to Henry's desk.
"Second Young Master Sharp..."
"Is Big Brother doesn't want you anymore?" Henry dropped the mouse, leaned back in the chair, and stared at her.
It was just a glance, but it immediately became complicated, indescribably complicated!
He knew that the things on her face were a disguise. Although he did not know why she did so, he saw that there was something wrong with the freckles on her face when Big Brother said she was beautiful.
However, he did not expect that Emily, who had washed off the freckles, was... somewhat stunning.
Her face without any cosmetics was clean and showed that she had a good complexion. Her small facial features were more delicate than those of the maids in the drawings.
It turned out that Big Brother who said that she was beautiful was true...
He moved his eyes away and his tone became even colder, "Did he break off the engagement?"
This question was so cruel. It would be so painful for someone who had just been dumped.
However, all the sadness of Emily had been vented out last night.
The dawn had come. She should go her own way. There was nothing to be sad. "Yes. I have heard that he broke off my engagement in the newspaper."
She put down the computer bag, sat in front of the desk without Henry telling her to do so, and met his exploring gaze, "Second Young Master Sharp, about our cooperation this time..."
"Emily Gale, are you dead?" Henry made her unable to keep up with the flow when he spoke.
Emily was slightly helpless and rubbed her forehead. She said, "Second Young Master Sharp, I don't understand what you mean. Can you make it clear?"
She thought that she came here for the business matter, but why all he said were about the private issue?
"Did you really feel nothing when Big Brother dumped you? Did you cry?"
It looked like her eyes were a little swollen, but they were not so swollen. They were just slightly swollen as if she drank too much water before going to bed.
He could not tell whether she cried.
"I had cried." She answered calmly.
"Yes." She was finally like a normal person. He nodded, "Are you reluctant?”
"No."
"No?"
"I was too arrogant when I quarreled last night. I didn't even ask for a penny. Well, it's not like I leave without any property. After all, we haven't married."noveldrama
She coughed lightly. After adjusting her breath, she said, "But when Young Master Hunter offered me compensation, I didn't accept it."
"..." He did not expect to hear such a realistic statement from Emily's mouth.
Shouldn't this be the time to be sad about a breakup?
Henry realized that he could not accept Emily's thought. His voice was a little dull, " and then?"
"Then, of course, I regret it. Am I foolish? Young Master Hunter is so rich. He can give me if I just ask for tens of millions."
Emily looked really regretful, and she regretted it so much that she was about to stomp her feet and beat her chest!
"Maybe if I want 300 million, he will give it to me too. In this way, I won't have to wait for the Sharp to cooperate with us, don't you think so?"
"You..." This girl! She was beating around the bush and getting back on the business matter!
She was really good at talking!
But why she didn't feel sad at all?
Big Brother was such a good man. Was she really not feeling sad about losing this fiancé?
"Actually, Second Young Master Sharp is also happy to see it happen, and would love to see me being dumped, aren't you?"
Emily's smile made Henry's throat suddenly tightened and he was a little speechless.
Finally, he cleared his throat and said lightly, "Why do I want to see you being dumped? Do I know you well?"
"I also don't know why, but I know that you don't want Young Master Hunter and me to be together."
He originally wanted to deny it, but Emily's seriousness made him could not say anything against his conscience.
He really hoped that she would leave Big Brother and stop being a burden to him. However, she was really dumped by Big Brother, and he was... inexplicably a little uncomfortable.
Well, that was not right. He was from the Sharp at the moment, and she was the representative from the small studio September.
Why her aura completely overshadowed his aura when both of them talked? "Second Young Master Sharp, your time is too precious. I do not dare to delay it too long. Can we talk about the cooperation agreement?"
Emily's words made Henry hold back what he wanted to say.
He did not believe that she was so cold. It should be said that he did not believe that someone would really be so indifferent after leaving Young Master Hunter. "Then, do you really have nothing to do with Young Master Hunter now?" he asked.
Emily thought for a while, and she knitted her brows lightly, "Second Young Master Sharp, is it because I am Young Master Hunter's fiancé, so you are willing to cooperate with us?"
Henry was stupefied. He did not expect that she would have this thought.
He squinted his eyes, "Do you think I need such a relationship?” "Originally, I certainly don't think so. Although the Sharp was not as large as the Hunter for the time being, I saw that the company was developed so well with my eyes when I came in."
"So?" This girl was well-spoken.
However, Emily's next words almost made him, the famous and elegant gentleman frowned on the spot.
"So, I didn't expect that the Second Young Master of the Sharp would be such an unprofessional person under rigorous circumstances."
Henry's face darkened, and he said unhappily, "When am I unprofessional?"
"Is the Sharp ask us to come for the cooperation today?"
There was no need to continue the discussion if he kept discussing personal issues.
"So you treat your sponsor like this? Are you not afraid that I would be upset and unwilling to continue the cooperation?"
"Sorry, Second Young Master Sharp. I think I have to correct some of your problems."
Emily was very serious even when she met his gaze.
"First of all, you are not the sponsor of our September studio. We are business partners, not the relationship that we depend entirely on you."
"Second, although I don't want to see the cooperation between the two companies be cancelled, this doesn't mean that I have to beg you to invest in our September studio.
She sat up straight, and her eyes were bright when she saw him.
"For studios like ours, everyone hopes to get financing, but it is still too fast for us
to get the Sharp's investment."
"If the Sharp is not really sincere to cooperate with us, then I don't think we need to go that fast."
"Walk fast, fall hard. If the Sharp doesn't want to do business in animation, we will fall harder. Therefore, the cooperation should be both sides. We also have our considerations."
Chapter 230 Now She Was An Utterly Bad Woman
Henry didn't expect that one day he would be talked to like this by an 18-year-old
little girl.
What made him angrier was that he couldn't retort what she said.
Not treating him as investors, not crying and begging for collaboration? In fact, her collaboration still had depended on his sincerity?
This little girl who had never experienced the cruelty of the society, thought she could do anything she wanted?
Henry opened the drawer and casually threw out a pile of paper.
"Here, these are all of the application agreements from the companies that want
to cooperate with us to develop the animation project." Henry said.
He looked arrogant and powerful, wanting to see her compromise or even being humble in front of him.
"Do you see it? If we want to do animation, you are not the only option we have to be our cooperative partner." Henry said.
"I know you have a lot of choices, but I also believe that if we are not qualified, you wouldn't invite us here to discuss about this collaboration." Emily said.
Therefore, after she saw the pile of application documents, she remained expressionless, and her confidence had never been hit by the slightest.
She pressed her lower lip and said with a sincere tone, "Henry, we are just a small studio. In fact, for us, although this collaboration is an opportunity, it is also a burden." Emily said.
"Everyone hopes that their company can become bigger and stronger, but we may not have such capabilities. Your investment is indeed a risk." Emily said.
"I hope that you can think about it seriously whether you are really confident to cooperate with us. If the reason you invest is for wasting your extra money, I'll also advise you to think twice." Emily said.
"Guess what will your team think if they hear what you say?" Henry said.
Henry's facial expression was not looking good.
"They wouldn't think much, they may be disappointed for a while. But after a big meal, they will be vigorous to find other partners to work with." Emily said.
"Perhaps, according to our original plan, they will do the comics first, and then consider animation when the comics are successful." Emily said.
Henry didn't speak, staring at her face, studying every expression on her face.
Without acting rashly or impetuously, she was actually persuading him seriously to reconsider collaborating with them.
Could anyone ask for financial investment like this? She really didn't care about losing such a big investor like him?
No, she said: he was not their investor, but just a partner.
After a while, Henry suddenly asked, "Are you really that calm? Aren't you afraid that I will cancel this collaboration? Seriously?"
...
Sally and Lois were both extremely anxious.
After Emily and the others entered, Sally just saw another news that broke out on the Internet tonight.
The rumor said the champion team from the college comic contest had a strong background!
What was more under the topic? There were pictures of Emily and Hunter getting in the car together, and pictures of Emily and Henry walking on the road talking and laughing.
Next, Emily's identity was also found out, Emily was the second lady of the Gu family, the fiancée of Vincent.
In the end, Emily somehow turned out to be Henry's female companion.
What did the so-called female companion mean? Everyone could tell through those photos.
They looked intimate together, not like an ordinary friend.
Of course, even Sally, Emily's close friend, somehow got close with Henry. Anyway rumors now were, Emily won first runner-up for the inter-school comic contest all because Emily had powerful background.
The scariest part, Nina the second person in charge of the team, who was acknowledged by everyone as the pretty number one drawing artist for the campus comic, her hand was wounded and went to the hospital last night.
There was news that Nina's hand was likely to be wounded badly!
What was worse was when Nina's accident happened, someone took pictures of Emily and Hunter together.
Of course, no one knew exactly what had happened.
No one had any evidence, proving Emily caused Nina's injury.
However, as for the current situation, Emily was the complete ultimate winner, but for Nina, was not only "arranged" to lose the competition, but also got into the hospital.
As for Emily, It was said that she went to the Sharp family to sign a cooperation agreement with them.
The contrast between the strong and weak was so obvious. Based on the public mentality, people would naturally sympathize the weak one. Emily had become a heinous villain in everyone's eyes!
The funny thing was, this bad woman was abandoned by Hunter!
Sally was very anxious, after speaking on the phone with Lois. She found out that Emily had entered Henry's office alone. She couldn't wait to rush up there to bring Emily back.
"Emi won't do such a thing, don't panic." Joe tried desperately to comfort her.
Sally shook her head and fidgeted, "Of course, Emi wouldn't do such a thing, but what does Henry mean by letting Emi enter his office alone?" Sally said.
This kind of behavior was so unusual!
If it were Emily from the past, Sally couldn't bother herself this much, after all, she does look.. very ordinary.
However, Emi looked like a fairy this morning.
What if Henry had lust thoughts and did something bad towards Emi?
"Unlikely?" Rufus said. Rufus was also a little worried, after all Emi's look this morning was easy to touch a man's heart.
However, Henry was well known, it would be unlikely to do anything to a little girl
in the company no matter how nettled he was.
Terry's hands kept holding onto the steering wheel, staring at the building ahead. No one knew what he was thinking with a deep gaze.
Sally sent another message to Lois, "Has anyone come out yet?"
Lois did not reply, Sally continued, "If Henry does something bad to Emi, this collaboration will not be discussed anymore!"
Lois still did not respond, Sally became more anxious.
"Lois doesn't reply me." She looked at Terry, desperately needed someone to help, "Terry, what should I do, should I go in and look for her?" Sally said.
Terry didn't speak, but holding on the steering wheel even tighter.
Sally looked at Joe and Rufus, Joe hesitated, "What if it's just a misunderstanding?"
"Maybe Henry is more familiar with Emi, therefore talks to her alone." Rufus said.
They couldn't figure out the thoughts of these big shots.
In the company, during the day, maybe...nothing would happen, right?
After a while, Lois still did not reply.
When Sally was about to collapse with anxiety, suddenly the car door was opened with a click, and Terry came down.
"Terry!" Joe was shocked, chased down quickly, "Terry, don't mess around, you can't imagine how many bodyguards are here." Joe said.
Along the way, there were bodyguards everywhere!
Even though Terry was strong and good at fighting, while facing so many bodyguards, no matter how strong he was, he definitely couldn't defeat that many of bodyguards.
Terry walked straight to the lobby of the main building.
Joe, Sally, and Rufus, also got out of the car, chased over quickly.
Seconds after entering the lobby, the reception lady came over, "Who are you looking for? Did you get an appointment?"
"Henry." Terry said lightly.
The reception lady's expression suddenly changed, her voice became quite cold, "Mr. Henry is meeting guests at the moment. It is not convenient... Hey! What are you guys going to do?"
They walked straight to the elevator! The reception lady panicked, and rushed over, "This is the Sharp family's place, not somewhere that you can dash into, hurry..."noveldrama
It was at this moment, the elevator opened, with a sudden sound, several figures walked out...☐☐☐☐☐☐
