I knew the supplier. It had only worked with the Carson Group once or twice before, so we were not super familiar.
When I got to their company, they were clearly preny pissed.
“Mrs. Carson, what a rare visit. Not husy at your company anymore!
“Our small biz might not be able to provide proper hospitality to the esteemed guests from the Carson Group. Russell Morrison glanced up. blowing on his coffee as he spoke,
Knowing it was the Garson Group’s fault this time, I wasn’t bring ton touch.
Over the years, I might not have learned much else, but I did learn how to show weakness to business partners
Sometimes there really was a
ly was a gender advantage in the business world
Russell was still there after work hours, which actually proved he was waiting for someone from the Carson Group since no one else but they could supply so quickly.
After a lot of nice talk, Russell’s expression softened a lot, though he still wasn’t giving in. “We already gave the Carson Group the lowest price, even hushed production without extra charge. Not paying now is really too much”
“You’re absolutely right. It’s our fault this time, but if you agree, we can make the payment right away” I pushed the documents right in front of
bim
“Mr. Morrison, we actually have several big projects coming up that will need even mare materials.
“I know your company isn’t short of partners, but stable cooperation? It’s beneficial for both sides, right?”
Russell flipped through the documents, his eyes flickering.
Even though Jude was just the president of
of a subsidiary, everyone knew he might be the future head of the HQ
If they could get in with the Canon Group, at least seven years of guaranteed profits would be secured.
Seeing he was tempted, 1 pulled out more cooperation caxes and profit analyses.
In the end, Russell was swayed by me. “Mr. Carson, you really are good with worth. I used to think…
He didn’t Enish his sentence, but I got it.
Everyone thought I was a quiet type, never
raying anything even when cheated on.
I laughed somewhat awkwardly, “Guess it’s out of necessity. Mr. Carson sent me here. I didn’t dare not come. Lucky to meet you, otherwise I wouldn’t have had a chance to talk so much,”
My role as the jilted, bitter woman truly came in handy,
People in the circle all felt sorry for me, and Russell stopped giving me a hard time.
But he insisted I promise to partner with him on the next project before he agreed to supply at the original price.
Having wrapped up this matter, I was in a fantastic mood.
As soon as the goods arrived, I’d have 150 thousand dollars in my account this month. I wouldn’t have to worry about money anymore, at least for a whule.
After taking my meds, I wai
wanted to sleep soundly but was woken up by Jude’s call.
I hung up a few times, but he kept calling back.
Thinking if something happened to him, I might not get the money anytime soon. I finally swallowed my pride and picked up
“Come pick me up, Blur Moon” Ilis voice came through
“Can’t, already sleeping”
Just as I was about to hang up, kafferty’s voice came from the other end. “Ada, just come over. Jude’s drunk and acting crazy, calling everyone wife.
“Please, if you don’t come soon, I’m gonna get taken care of lay
by him right here Rafferty’s voice was bourse like he was really quite anxious.
As one of Jude’s few circle friends, Rafferty was good to me, so after thinking it over, I got up.

It was not ideal to let people actually see Jude’s drunken anties. If something happened, I, as his nominal wife, would still have to clean up the mess
When I arrived at the bar, Jude was indeed already quite drunk. Seeing me, he immediately rushed over, mumbling, “Honey, you’re here.
“They’re all bad people, saying you wouldn’t come. I knew you cared about me.” He kept kissing my neck, which made my scalp tingling
But no matter how hard I pushed, I couldn’t get him off. In the end, I just let him hold me.
Meanwhile, Rafferty patted his chest like he had survived a disaster. “Ada,
a, if you didn’t come, I really would’ve knocked him out. He’s too scary”
Then he looked me up and down. “No wonder they call you the campus belle. You look like a college student.”
Rushed out in a hurry. I only had a white dress on
This was my favorite type back in my school days, and the first dress jade bought me was white, too.
Jade shoved him away, giving him the stink eye. Hands off my wife, scram“
Seeing his adorably fierce look, I burst out laughing.
He used to give that same glare to my suitors back in school, except he called me his “girlfriend” then.
Just as I was reminiscing. Vivian’s voice, all teary, come from behind. “Jude”
Hearing this, Jude stiffened slightly, then quickly let go of me. “Vivian? You…“
He gave me a suspicious look, then his eyes cleared up with a hint of disgust. “Ada, you’re sickening. Trying to win me back, you’re copying Vivian’s style now? You don’t really think I’d go home with you, do you?”
I glanced at Vivian–she was indeed in a white dress just like mine, looking like my college self.
I won’t be picking
I wiped the spot on my neck, where he just kissed with disdain, sneering. Jude, stop dialing the wrong number next time, and I w
