Chapter 246
Tracey, Eric, and Carl came in together. The design of this room was very elegant, and it was full of antique style. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Miss Xia, please." Eric was very gentlemanly and humble to Tracey.
Adam snorted in his heart, "Look at him, so pretending he is."
"Miss Xia, here is the menu." Eric handed the menu to Tracey after they were all seated.
"Thank you, but I'd like you to order, I'm not picky." Tracey replied politely.
"Okay!" Eric began to order the dishes. Originally, Tracey didn't feel any strange, until she heard what Eric was ordering.
They were all the dishes that Tracey liked! What was going on?
Although she felt quite strange, she could not straightly ask him why order what she liked. It was weirder.
"That’s it. Miss Xia, is there anything else you need to add?"
"No, thanks." Tracey waved her hand. She was indeed a little hungry. After all, she had not eaten yet but was interrupted by Adam.
"Carl, what else do you need?" After Tracey replied, Eric handed the menu to Carl.
"I'd like to have a banana boat," Carl said.
Tracey glanced at him surprisingly and she didn't expect that a man like Carl would like to have this kind of dessert. Although she felt strange in her heart, she didn't say it out.
The period of time waiting for the dishes was difficult to go through. She was not very familiar with Eric. Besides, her competitor Carl, was also here.
The atmosphere was a little awkward. Tracey gave the coffee she prepared to Eric and Carl.
"This is the Blue Mountain coffee my friend bought from abroad. You should taste it."
"Miss Xia, you are so thoughtful. I like Blue Mountain the most." Eric was a talkative person, and he also had a good sense of humor.
At first, Tracey was wary, but gradually they began to chat. "I heard from Carl that you attend the same school as us. So, we’re alumni!"
"Yes, we are! Should you take good care of me?" Tracey tried to talk about the order.
"How should I do that? During the time in the United States, Light&Shadow had given you a lot of orders."
Eric meant he was competing for orders with Tracey when they were in America. Several times Tracey had given up competing, Light&Shadow suddenly canceled orders and let Tracey got all of them.
Although Tracey didn't know what they were planning, it was obvious that they did it on purpose.
"Well, thank you for those orders, without them, my company could not be what it is today. Since you were so nice, what about the order this time..."
It was easy to talk to a smart person, Tracey was not getting so straight, Eric already got her point.
"So, you want the order of steel materials for Xia's Group?" Eric's face was a little evil, so was his smile.
"Can you do me this favor?" Tracey's tone softened, even sounded a little bit begging.
Hearing it, Adam was pissed. How could his woman beg others for something!
He did not know how many times that Tracey had done similar things in the States to develop her company from zero to a listed one.
How many hardships a woman should go through to do business? How much Tracey had suffered to be what she was like today?
Thinking of this, he felt painful and hated that he didn't accompany her.
"Well, if you ask for other things, it will be good, however, my brother wants this order too. But there is one point I got confused, since both of you are working for Xia’s Group and one of you must inherit the company, why are you still competing for the order?”
Eric threw up his hands, pretending to be very hard.
Tracey patiently explained, "Since both of you are familiar with each other, Mr. Luo should also know that we made a bet. The board of directors will promote someone who won this order to be the
next vice president."
"Carl told me about this, but you already have a listed company in the United States, I heard that you are setting up a branch for it in A City recently. How can you take a fancy to the vice president position? How about giving it to Carl?"
Tracey could not figure out was Carl serious or not, but he seemed inclined to Carl.
From the beginning, the reason why Tracey wanted this position was to drive Edgar out.
Carl was the son of Edgar, and Edgar was driven out due to Tracey. If Carl hated her, it would not be easy for her to get this position.
Edgar had weaknesses, however, Carl was too good to be true. He was elegant and hardworking, he barely had any shortcomings. Tracey was worried about this.
Today, after having a meal with Carl, she found that he was an erudite person. But he didn't seem to hate her. Tracey was no longer hostile to him as before.
But Tracey was not a woman who gave up easily. No matter what the opponent was like, she would keep competing.
"Mr. Luo, work is the same as love, it can't be given to others. I am quite stubborn, and I will compete it till the end." Tracey said seriously.
"Okay, then..."
"Sir, this is your order, banana boat." The waiter handed over a beautiful ice cream plate.
Carl, who had been silent all the time, pushed the ice cream in front of Tracey. Tracey was a little surprised. "Did you order it for me?"
"Don’t you have hypoglycemia? It's okay to eat this dessert. I remember that you liked banana boat when you were a child." Carl just simply explained.
"He still remembered what I like when I was a child...!" Tracey thought. She was surprised by his memory, but she did not have so much impression of him.
"Thank you..." Tracey felt a little embarrassed. She was always wary of him, but he seemed to be very considerate to her.
Adam almost rushed out several times. "How dare you ingratiate my woman!" Adam thought.
Soon the dishes were all served. Eric said, "Come on, don't talk business while eating. Have a try to these dishes."
Since he said it, Tracey found it not appropriate to talk about the order more. As they started to eat, Eric's phone rang.
"My baby, what do you want? I'm with Carl! The lights are broken? You can call the managing office for help. My darling, I will come back after dinner, okay?
Hey, stop it. I'll just come back in half an hour." Eric hurriedly hung up the phone.
"Sorry again, Tracey. My girlfriend needs me. I have to go now."
"No problem, go ahead with your stuff. We understand."
