Chapter 1013: Chapter 993: Heard You Don’t Like Making Money From Won Who Throw Themselves at You?
“I heard, CEO Thompson, heard that you don’t like making money from won who throw themselves at your door?”
The door was abruptly pushed open, and the person at the doorway almost burst in, followed by an apologetic-looking Secretary Sanders. Roy Thompson waved his hand, signaling her to leave.
The woman was dressed in a fiery red OL suit, professional and sexy, like a bewitchingly blooming rose. Without guessing, it was clear this was Hanny Josh, the proprietress of Josh Group, known in the business world as the ‘Jade Rakshasa.’ Unlike other wealthy daughters, Miss Josh had ousted her two brothers to seize the top spot—a dominantly assertive female lead, celebrated for her business acun and ruthless thods, pushing Josh Group to the pinnacle of the electronic engineering industry within a few years.
He had wanted to partner with her for a while, but the timing had always been off. He hadn’t expected that she would extend an olive branch today, nor that after being rejected by him, she would directly barge into his company in such a short ti. It was clear that before making an appointnt, she was already downstairs.
He had to admit, she was a rare sharp businesswoman, even guessing his thoughts, and after being rejected, she ca right up, obviously prepared!
“What, looking at Miss Josh’s stance, are you prepared to co to my company and donate money?” Roy Thompson glanced at her and spoke indifferently, “If it’s about partnership, please schedule during office hours. Now, I’m off work!”
Discuss a partnership?
Hanny Josh’s eyebrows slightly knitted together. This man was indeed very direct, so she had to be even more straightforward: “Does discussing a partnership require Miss Josh herself to take action?”
Clearly, in Hanny Josh’s eyes, the foundation of Shawn Group in Andras City was not as solid as her group’s. Of course, she didn’t know that the man in front of her was intricately linked to Allure International, the leading company in Andras City, assuming he was just a minor CEO dispatched by Shawn Group to manage its subsidiary in Andras City.
“Not discussing business, Miss Josh coming in person ans you are here to find a man?”
Roy Thompson had always been smart, and since the woman’s words were so forthright, he didn’t need to be courteous—at all. After all, he was a taken man, and his little darling at ho had quite the firepower.
“It seems, CEO Thompson, you expect
to be here for a man?”
A glint of a bright smile flashed through Hanny Josh’s eyes, her words profound and affirming, “Then, if I really am here for a man, I suppose CEO Thompson would accept, right?”
She thought, given Miss Josh’s current status and standing, there were no reasons for a man to reject her.
Status, standing, wealth, and capability, after all, marrying her was like acquiring half a kingdom—a trendous step up for a minor CEO of a branch company.
“Accept?!”
Roy Thompson gently bit on these words then lazily waved his index finger, speaking faintly, “NO, NO, NO, you thought too much, I’m married!”
Married?
These two words felt like a slap on her cheek. Hanny Josh’s face instantly flushed, and her eyes, shocked by the news, widened to their fullest. She couldn’t believe that the man she had set her sights on, after thorough investigation, was married.
“Who is your wife? Prettier than ? Or does she have more status? Or is she more capable?”
In Andras City, she was considered the epito of a superior woman. Those prettier than her lacked her talent, those as talented as her weren’t as pretty, and those who were both pretty and talented didn’t have her worth. Other won were from wealthy families, but she was the wealthy family, so she was almost certain that if Roy Thompson really had a wife, she wouldn’t compare to her.
Of course, she was more convinced that his so-called wife was a lie, especially since she had investigated him. This man, who had been dispatched to Andras City by the Thompson family to be an Executive CEO half a year ago, was unlikely to be willing to leave his family behind for a deploynt, particularly to a completely new market in Andras City!
“That’s not important because in my heart, my wife is incomparable to you!”
Roy Thompson glanced at her indifferently, not even offering her a seat, “Miss Josh, if you are here to talk business, we can schedule during work hours tomorrow. If you are here for a man, unfortunately, you’ve got the wrong person!”
“Roy Thompson!”
Such a direct and clear rejection infuriated Hanny Josh instantly. No one had ever spoken to her in such a tone before. She knew there were lines of n in Andras City waiting for a chance to pursue her, enough to form several soccer teams. “Do you know what you are doing? You are giving up an opportunity that could advance your career. You must know that even if Shawn Company is mighty in Corda City, this is Andras City. The subsidiary you manage here is completely unestablished in this market. To establish a foothold here, aside from Gordon Group’s Allure International, our Josh Group is your only opportunity, quite clearly. But since Gordon Group never cooperates with the finance industry, even though Gordon family’s daughter and your CEO’s son are already in union, it hasn’t changed Allure International’s historical principle. So, Josh Group is your only option currently!”
Heh!
She really did co prepared!
Even this she had thoroughly investigated. If not for his overly low-profile attitude, desiring to prove his abilities through his own efforts, would his identity have already been dug up by this woman?
A true powerhouse of the business world, yet he disliked her intensely!
“So, I should abandon my wife for my career and be with you?”
Roy Thompson scoffed, his expression tinged with a light mockery, “I really do want to partner with Josh Group, after all, there are reasons we must collaborate, but not at the cost of selling myself.”
At the end, Roy Thompson added indifferently, “I didn’t realize the allure of a married man was this strong. Thank you, Miss Josh, for your high regard, but I’m strictly under my wife’s thumb. In this life, only she has the right to divorce , not
giving her one, so I must disappoint you.”
Watching the elegant and composed man lounging in the leather chair, Hanny Josh’s hand clenched inch by inch. He had rejected her thoroughly, but she didn’t want to give up just like that. Ever since that day at the press conference when she saw him, she had realized why, over all these years, no man had caught her eye.
Today, was the culmination of many days of turmoil. Even being rejected, she had still taken the first step, and naturally wouldn’t give up easily. After all, she had strived so hard to take over her entire family, not wishing to beco a sacrificial lamb in a strategic marriage. Being a powerful woman, earning more money, was all for the sake of marrying for love!
