Chapter 388 A Trap Lies Ahead
I glanced at them triumphantly and dropped my smile as I turned and left. I felt a deep sense of pain and blamed myself for being forceful.I laughed at myself and felt exhausted. I gritted my teeth as I entered the room. I took a deep breath, not wanting anyone to see me so miserable. As I composed myself, Hana approached and handed me her tablet.She glanced at it and shook her head helplessly. She seemed to be speechless about something. I swiped through a few times and then looked at her. "Can you sort out this information if I call for a meeting now?”"Yes," she replied confidently."How long do you need?" I asked. I didn't want to waste any more time on this issue. Engaging with them would only ruin my mood, and I had more important things to do."Not long. Anywhere with a computer will do," Hana said, her confident look making me feel comfortable. I thought even women could be charming and capable.I nodded approvingly. "Good. Ask Harmony if she has other requirements. Dou
Chapter 389 Settling It At Once
Eloise questioned, "What do you mean?"I knew she was displeased. Everyone knew she had always desired Ivanna's position. I answered by exaggerating each word, "I meant that literally. You fit the role of a celebrity manager best."Ivanna defused the tension, "Ms. Chloe, you've got it wrong. Eloise is ambitious and capable."I snorted. "Anyone can dream.""Who are you talking about?" She didn't catch what I said due to the distance and asked for clarification."Idiot." I winked at her and smirked playfully. Then, I turned to Harmony and said, "Ms. Harmony, is there anything else you want to add, or should we continue?"She greedily surveyed the surroundings, wishing to claim this showroom as hers. She had been holding onto Atlas's arm the whole time. Still somewhat dissatisfied, she said, "That's enough for now. Even if I say more, you may not meet my standards.""Whether or not we can meet them is my problem. Your manager was unhappy just now, saying you're too busy. Since you'
Chapter 390 The Signs of Provocation
Hana first presented the showroom’s initial layout and decoration. The images depicted a splendid room with a grand style. The attendees occasionally nodded in approval. It seemed they were satisfied with the initial showroom.Hana then displayed a series of images. With each one, she asked, "Ms. Harmony, is this what you'd like?"Hana was soft-spoken as she guided Harmony. The latter became engaged this time, perhaps because she wanted to show off her thoughts to the audience. She appeared elegant and continued expressing her ideas.Whenever this happened, Hana would provide her with feedback before asking, "Is this what you want?"Harmony clapped, nodded in agreement, and occasionally exclaimed, "Oh, yes! That’s what I want. The effect is perfect. Wow, it's great. I love it!”Everyone in the room watched. The attendees were eager to see the overall effect and learn about the celebrity’s design preferences. Harmony’s excitement engaged everyone’s enthusiasm. It seemed she had a m
Chapter 391 Blow a Gasket
Everyone present avoided Atlas's piercing gaze, afraid he might single them out.I turned to Eloise and said, "Ms. Eloise, as Ms. Harmony's manager, why don't you share your thoughts? We're all eager to hear your opinion."Eloise hesitated. "I think it's quite…down-to-earth?""This is pure garbage!" The designer, Steven, chimed in. He was straightforward and didn’t care about the consequences. "This kind of decor is terrible. Do you understand it, or are you just making a mess here?"Mr. Atlas, are you trying to tarnish ATL Empire's reputation? Who here would buy a house if it was decorated like this? It's a joke!"Steven was truly fearless enough to criticize Atlas directly. Everyone secretly glanced at Atlas to see his reaction.Then, the photographer mustered the courage to speak up. "I'm sorry, but I can't photograph something like this. I have to be responsible for my work!"The others maintained a cautious attitude, exchanging glances and not daring to speak."Down-to-ear
Chapter 392 Give Credit Where Credit Is Due
Atlas's response baffled everyone. Was he declining the offer from Tanum Corporation, or was he going against my suggestion?Harmony was dissatisfied at first, but her expression began to brighten. She seemed to think that Atlas was rejecting me on her behalf.Then, Atlas turned to Ivanna."Ms. Ivanna, please provide Austier Agency with a detailed report. This whole ordeal has disrupted ATL Empire's operations for almost seven hours. I want to issue a warning to all of you. The manager will not participate in ATL Empire's endorsement services again."Harmony exchanged a quick glance with Eloise, whose face turned white. It seemed she had some inkling of what was going on. Harmony then glanced at Atlas, trying to discern his intentions."Ms. Hana, starting today, ATL Empire will request Tanum Corporation to designate you as ATL Empire's soft furnishing designer."My expression froze. I looked at Atlas, my mind filled with confusion. Could it be that he meant…Atlas continued, "St
Chapter 393 Composed
Atlas's decisive actions left those in the room reeling.After a while, Nick stood up and announced, "Let's adjourn!"His words seemed to snap everyone back to reality. I turned to Carol and suggested, "We should leave, too."Suddenly, a piercing shout cut through the air, "Chloe! This is all your doing... What did I ever do to you? How could you conspire against me like this?!"I turned, startled, to find the source of the rage. It came from Eloise. Her eyes burned with anger, and she pointed a trembling finger at me, her hatred strong."Chloe, I have unfinished business with you. You wretched woman, for...""Outrageous! This is not Austier Agency. You can't shout so loudly here. Get out!" Nick looked at her with a stern face. It was the first time I saw Nick look so forbidding. Everyone's attention turned to Eloise. The room was already tense from the previous conflict, and Eloise's shouting only added fuel to the fire. She found herself in an awkward position as her fellow
Chapter 394 Asking for Help
I warmly greeted Myra and noticed her little son was already exploring the house. I sighed at how quickly time flies.Ava was having fun playing with him and acting like a big sister. She made him laugh, and the kids got along well. Ava probably felt lonely.Myra seemed a bit hesitant. “Chlo, this is my first time at Amethyst Apartments. The environment is incredible. Johnson used to tell me about it, but I never imagined I'd come here. I should have visited sooner!" I could sense from her tone that Johnson was unaware of Myra's visit to my house today."You should have come earlier. Look at how well the little ones are getting along. In the future, feel free to bring him over to play whenever you like.”After signaling for Myra to sit down, I joined her and looked at the two kids. My mother was busy in the kitchen, and upon seeing me return, she said, "Myra, have dinner here today. Chlo, we'll serve the meal once you're done chatting!""Thanks, Ms. Laura. I'll just talk to Ch
Chapter 395 Crucial Information
Myra hesitated but then spoke with determination. "Melanie is in charge of the materials. She secretly manipulates things and often sends Johnson in to handle it."I understood what Myra said right away. This was my chance. I needed this evidence to catch Melanie and her cohorts in the act.Johnson's distress was understandable to me. After all, this was not a small-scale project but a substantial endeavor.This was one of Celine's few major city projects. When Liora got it, she secretly handed it to Matthew, using him to open another front for her younger brother. If anything went wrong with this project, all three would be implicated.My body tensed up. I hadn't expected it to be so effortless. While I had plans for these three businesses, I never expected things to work out so well. My scheme hadn't been this ruthless. Now, I could bring their entire operation to a halt.Myra became concerned when she saw my dazed expression, fearing she had said something wrong. "Chlo, I-I h
