Chapter 1011 Acting Cute
“Me, me, me, me!”
While Donald was still conversing with Jane, Geraldine, like a primary school student eager to answer a question, immediately raised her hand and stood up.
She attempted to flip over from the couch but unexpectedly lost her balance. Tripping over her own left foot with her right, she tumbled heavily onto the ground.
Fortunately, the living room floor of the mansion was covered with wool carpets, so when Geraldine fell, she wasn't hurt. Instead, the fall gave her a tumultuous feeling in her chest.
Donald glanced once, then quickly withdrew his gaze, preparing to help her up.
Before Donald could do so, Geraldine grabbed onto his pant leg, climbing up while grinning at him. “I've understood your requirements,” she said. “I've managed a tech company like this before, so if you're going to start this company, can I be your boss?”
“No way,” Donald flatly refused. “You're not from Quadfield, so you can't manage this company.”
“Come on. You don't have any time anyway. Besides, a company definitely needs a knowledgeable boss to manage things. That's how efficiency improves. Otherwise, you wouldn't even know if your subordinates are slacking off. Just agree with me, will you?”
Afraid that Donald might refuse, Geraldine directly reached out, hugged his arm, and shook it.
“No means no. Don't give me that.”
Just as Donald was about to ask Jane to head downstairs and proceed with the preparations, Jennifer's voice echoed from the staircase on the second floor.
“What do you mean by no?”
“Jenny!”
Seeing Jennifer, Geraldine felt as if she had found her savior.
She quickly ran to Jennifer's side, looking pitifully, and said, “Donald wants to start a mobile phone company. I thought he was already too busy with the affairs of Dragon Fide Corporation, so I wanted to take the initiative to help him share some of the burden. But not only did he not agree, he even scolded me.”
Jennifer had always regarded Geraldine as her own younger sister.
Upon hearing Geraldine's words, Jennifer immediately furrowed her brows and said to Donald, “Darling, Geri is just trying to be kind. Why won't you agree?”

Donald's mouth twitched slightly, finding women's friendships to be truly peculiar.
Previously, Geraldine was your best friend. Although you always referred to each other as close as sisters, you were still equals.
Since when have you started using such a cheesy nickname like “Geri”?
Donald explained, “The situation with my mobile phone company is quite complex. It's not your average mobile phone company, so I...”
“It's just a mobile phone company. How complicated can it be? Listen to me. Let Geri manage your company. If she doesn't perform well, you can always replace her, right?”
In fact, Donald didn't really have much of an aversion to Geraldine.
After all, even though Geraldine might seem flippant in her daily life, she indeed possessed the ability to manage a company effectively.
Now that Jennifer had spoken, Donald sighed and naturally went along with Jennifer's wishes.
“All right. In that case, you and Jane should have a thorough discussion and present me with a plan as soon as possible.”
“Awesome! Thank you, Jenny!”
Seeing Geraldine so happy, Jennifer also began to chuckle.
However, when she looked at Donald, the smile on her face faded.
“Why did you come home so late? Didn't I tell you we have something important at home?”
Donald touched his nose and replied, “I ran into some unexpected issues outside, so I had to take care of them.”
“Did something happen outside?”
Jennifer leaned in to sniff Donald, her brows furrowing in response.
“Why is there a scent of another woman's perfume?”
Upon hearing Jennifer's words, Geraldine and Hannah immediately turned their attention.
The look they shot the man was just like one given to a criminal.
