Chapter 89 Sacrificing For The Company
In the National Trade Center.
A custom-made dress store.
Joleen Lewis and Amanda Jewell tried out dresses one after another.
“Just pick one. There’s no need to be too grand.” Amanda turned around in front of the mirror. “I think this one will do. Pack it up for me.”
After that, she was about to ask the salesperson to pay the bill.
“Hey, wait, what’s good about it?” Joleen pulled her back. “This one’s too plain. Are you attending a banquet or a funeral? Why are you dressed in black? Go change it. This is not the one”
“We’ve tried so many already. Are we still going to try on more?” Amanda was almost speechless. She pointed to a pile of clothes that she had already tried. She was already tired.
“Can’t you try it yourself?”
“No, our company relies on your looks, and I don’t have a face like yours.” Joleen still looked excited. She took the clothes from the saleswoman and gestured at Amanda. “This one is good. Try it on.”
“We’re going for business, not for blind dates.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“A business meeting is no different from a blind date. You haven’t attended such a banquet for a long time. You can take advantage of this opportunity to get out of the shadow of heartbreak. Maybe you will meet the next guy.”
“Okay, okay, just take it as an expansion of customer resources. Can you sacrifice yourself for a while?”
Amanda was helpless. Before she could reply, Joleen pushed her into the changing room.
What heartbreak?
It hadn’t even been a week since she officially confirmed their relationship and finally broke up. What kind of heartbreak was this?
Looking at herself in the mirror, Amanda took a deep breath.
Joleen was right. This was the first time she showed up in public as the president since Safe Home Real Estate was founded, so she needed to leave a good impression in this field.
He had to cheer up.
On the other side, in the Sean Group.
Olinka entered the office of the Halley, and Sherry Sean was inside.
“Sherry, your brother is still in a meeting. I don’t know when it will end.”
Sherry showed a fake smile and said, “It’s all right. I just went shopping and passed by. I came to see you by the way. Here, I brought you some snacks. My brother hasn’t been home for several days. My mother is worried.”
Olinka said, “Don’t worry. It’s all right. I have been taking care of Halley.”
“We are not worried about that. After all, you are so considerate and will take good care of my brother. However, my mother knew about Jake and the board of directors. You also know that my mother is a little superstitious.”
“What’s wrong?”
Olinka’s heart skipped a beat. “How is this related to superstition?”
Sherry was still smiling, pretending to be indifferent. “Back then, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, but Amanda actually had the ability to save it. My mother went to find a fortune teller and he said that Amanda had brought blessings to her husband, which is why she was allowed to marry into the Sean Family. But now…”
“What era is this? How could there be such a thing?”
“My brother and I can’t do anything about the previous generation, can we?” Sherry looked at Olinka worriedly. “You’re still so young. There are some things that you can’t do in the Group, which I can understand.”
“As long as there’s a chance, I’ll do my best for the Group. The issues now are all because of that Amanda.”
“A chance?” Sherry took a sip of tea and said faintly, “In fact, there is a chance.”
Olinka was stunned. “Sherry, what do you mean?”
“Although I don’t work, I have some social interactions and contacts. The problem with the Sean Group now is that the board of directors thinks that my brother is irresponsible. As long as you can help my brother win a few major projects and shut them up, my uncle won’t be able to do anything.”
“You have a way? Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
“There is a way, but it’s impossible for such a good thing to happen. You have to give something in return.”
With that, Sherry looked Olinka up and down from head to toe. “Olinka, while you’re young, it’s much easier to get it done.”
Olinka didn’t understand what Sherry meant. She looked happy and couldn’t hide it at all. “As long as I can help you protect the Sean Group, I can do anything.”
Sherry’s smile was a little gloomy. “I knew you loved my brother more than Amanda did.”
…
After leaving the Sean Group, Sherry made a call while driving.
“Hello? Mr. Ginos, it’s me, Sherry.”
“It’s done. Let’s set a time.”
“Okay, then I’ll wait for your news.”
After hanging up the phone, Sherry tidied her hair in front of the mirror with pride.
It had not been easy for her to get rid of Amanda, and now there was an Olinka. In Sherry’s eyes, the women around her brother were all bad people. Their only value was to create benefits for the Sean Group.
Her phone suddenly vibrated.
The name “Lydia Ginos” was particularly conspicuous on the caller ID.
Sherry frowned slightly.
Before this, Lydia had called her and asked her about Amanda.
Although Lydia’s family had immigrated abroad early, when she was in Ducco, she and Sherry had the same piano teachers. They hadn’t had much contact for so many years, but they could still be considered old classmates.
Birds of the same feather flock together. Everyone was well aware of this kind of fake friendship. It was just an exchange of interests and sharing of profits.
“Lydia.” After answering the phone, Sherry said in a warm tone, “I haven’t contacted you for the past few days. I was about to call you. We know each other so well.”
“I’ve been busy these days. Do you have time today? Come out and go shopping with me.”
“I’m outside.”
“Then come to the National Trade Center and have a look at my dress.”
“A dress?” Sherry asked in confusion, “Is there any banquet recently?”
“It’s the Byran Group’s appreciation dinner. Have you forgotten what I told you before?”
Sherry was stunned. “The Byran Family invited you?”
Everyone knew that Iverson Byran had always been indifferent to Lydia Ginos, and he had told all the media about his pursuit of Amanda, so people felt disgusted by Lydia’s pursuit of Iverson.
They were all respectable people. It was really shameful to know someone who went after a guy who doesn’t care about her.
Therefore, among everyone Lydia knows, Sherry was the only one who got along well with her.
Lydia said smugly, “Not only did the Byran family invite me, but Iverson also invited me to be his date. I’ve already told you that our families have been friends for generations. With this kind of friendship, I’m his best choice.”
Sherry’s expression changed slightly. Although she said flattering words, she was actually very jealous in her heart.
“Oh, stop talking. Come and take a look at the dress for me.”
“Okay, I’ll be right there.”
