Chapter 79
The simple handshake made Hackett, sitting the
feel very uncomfortable.

He picked up his coffee and took a swig. He didn't look like he was tasting coffee but looked more like he was drinking alcohol.
Valeria's shaking hands with her client like this made him upset. I lackett did not know how he had turned a blind eye to Valeria's intimate scenes with male celebrities and even sex scenes in the past. Hackett had thought that he didn't care about those things. When he thought about it now, he probably didn't care who Cheryl was intimate with.
But Valeria...
His passionate and possessive gaze made Valeria feel uncomfortable all over. She used her eyes to signal Hackett to stop staring at her.
Sitting opposite her, Devin saw Valeria winking at someone and could not help but follow her gaze.
Hence, Valeria was ignored by her client in the next second.
"Well, isn't this Mr. James? Why are you here?" said Devin, standing up in shock and walking over to shake his hand with Hackett when he saw Hackett sitting beside the aisle. Hackett acted high and mighty. He did not stand up but casually shook his hand with Devin.
"I'm waiting here for Ms. Sharp," said Hackett. His eyes were fixed on Valeria.
Devin was a clever person at his age. He could tell what was going on at a glance. He pretended to be surprised. "So Mr. James and Ms. Sharp know each other. Are the two of you... lovers now?"
He had seen the news that Hackett and that little celebrity had fallen out. There was an 80% chance that Hackett had a new target.
Valeria glared at Hackett as if warning him: Don't talk nonsense! Otherwise, I'll blacklist you!
Hackett looked at her glare and chuckled. "No, but I'm wooing Ms. Sharp. It depends on whether she agrees or not." "Oh... I see. Mr. James, you have good taste. Mr. James, are you sitting here alone? Please come over and sit with us. Usually, he did not even have the chance to meet Hackett. With such a good opportunity today, Devin naturally wanted to climb the ladder. If he could work with James Group in the future, his advertising agency would become famous in one go.
Valeria held her forehead in despair. Hackett could not be ignored no matter where he went. He was always the most dazzling person in the entire venue.
Now that he had stolen the limelight, Devin's mind was filled with business matters. How could he still be in the mood to talk to her about the divorce case? Hence, Hackett sat beside her...
"Ms. Sharp, let's get started. Let's end this quickly. Don't delay Mr. James's date with you. I can't bear the responsibility." Devin's mouth was like honey. He wanted to leave a good impression before Hackett.
"Mr. Gove, the work is important. I will take every case seriously I heard you have a lot of doubts about the division of assets. I've drafted a new divorce agreement. Do you think this is reasonable? Can you accept it?"

Valeria took out a document and handed it to the man opposite er.
Devin took the document and quickly scanned it. He looked up and said, "I think it's great. I have no more questions. That's it. Ms. Sharp, I'm really relieved to hand the case to you.."
As he spoke, his eyes were still observing Hackett's reaction.
Valeria was speechless.
Devin had been looking at Hackett's expression. Previously, he had repeatedly overturned the contract she had drafted. Now, was he so easy to talk to?
On the other hand, Hackett looked as if it had nothing to do with him. He pecked at the coffee in his cup calmly.
"So I'm just going to hand this divorce agreement to the other party's lawyer? You don't have any more questions?" said Valeria.
She was worried and asked Devin again. Don't look at him being submissive today when he saw Hackett here. He would go back on his word when she went to work tomorrow.
"I have no doubts and leave everything to Ms. Sharp. I believe in Ms. Sharp's ability."
"Well..." Valeria did not know what to say.
Devin smiled tactfully and said, "We're done talking about the work. Everything went well. You both can go on a date. I won't waste your time. I'm leaving."
Then Devin stood up and was about to leave.
Hackett was quite satisfied with Devin's performance. "Wait a minute," said Hackett.
"Mr. James... What's the matter?" Devin was slightly stunned. He thought that he had done or said something wrong. He wanted to leave a good impression on Hackett every second.
Hackett said in a deep voice, "Leave your business card so we can get in touch and cooperate later."Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
"Okay, okay! I'll get it for you right now." Devin was dumbfounded. He did not expect Hackett to take the initiative to ask for his business card.
Devin took a business card from his briefcase and carefully offered it with both hands to Hackett.
Hackett took Devin's business card. He also handed his to Devin. "This is my business card. I'll contact you if we can work together in the future."
"Thank you, Mr. James. I'll be waiting for you at any time." Devin took Hackett's business card and couldn't help but smile.
Valeria stood up to send Devin off.
Devin glanced at Hackett, sitting behind him, and said to Valeria in a low voice, "Ms. Sharp, I'm so grateful to you. You're my benefactor. Do you know how much I want to collaborate with the James Group? If I can collaborate with it, my advertising agency will immediately occupy a position in the industry."
"Mr. Gove, don't say that. You're still my client."
"No, no. You're really my benefactor. Thank you, Ms. Sharp. I'm leaving. I won't disturb your date."
After sending off the CEO of the advertising agency, Valeria could not help but sigh.
What the hell was this?

She didn't even show her eloquence at all. She just completed today's work effortlessly with the help of Hackett, who sat here like a god.
Valeria returned to her seat and took a sip from her coffee cup.
"Unhappy? Aren't you having a good chat?" Hackett did not understand why she had such an expression.
Valeria couldn't help but want to roll her eyes. She said calmly, He's so easy to talk to because of you, not because of the divorce agreement I drafted." "Does it matter? The important thing is that the results went well. You can finish your work for the day early."
"Thank you, Mr. Ex-husband. Thanks to you, I can get off work now." Valeria looked unhappy as she packed her things and prepared to leave.
Hackett also stood up. "Have a meal with me."
"I'm going home. I don't want to eat with you."
"Then I'll go home with you. You can cook for me."
Hackett said shamelessly. He vaguely remembered that he had tasted Valeria's cooking four years ago. It was delicious.
What?
Valeria was confused. "Mr. Hackett, how can you be in a relationship with me like this? You're the one wooing me now, not me. Why should I cook for you?" "I want to cook for you too, but I don't know how," Hackett said frankly.
