Not wanting to cause a fuss, Kaze did not want Luca going around talking about it. “Kaze, what do you mean? It’s not right, and we should talk to the chairwoman so that she can be prepared,” Luca said with a frown. She narrowed her eyes at him, a growing suspicion that he was not as honest as he appeared. “What I mean is, if you bring this up, the client might pull out, even if he was genuinely interested. Worse, he might think our company doesn’t keep its word,” Kaze said. He tried to calm Luca down and then analyze the situation before making any rash decisions. “You’re right, I can’t be reckless. But she still needs to know. At least she should be aware of what’s going on,” she said. She could stay out of this and let things happen, but she must at least inform her boss about her concerns. “Does Darcy have a box like this?” Kaze asked, pointing at the jewelry box. Luca looked strangely at Kaze. “Why do you ask?” “I’m just wondering. Your boss isn’t the type to su
“Who is that?” Kaze snuck up on Luca from the back and surprised her. He came to work as usual, having been busy until now. So he took a break to get himself a drink when he saw a young man come out of Darcy’s office. It was nothing worth his attention, actually. Darcy was a busy person. She had to deal with clients, have meetings with employees, and had many other matters to attend to. It was normal for people to go in and out of her office. However, the young man looked unusual. Kaze noticed that his facial expression was stiff, as if he were wearing a mask. He did not overthink it because he thought it was a recent fashion trend, where people chose to have surgeries to look better. Sometimes, a surgery on the face might make the expression stiff, so he was not overly concerned. Then, he overheard the conversation between Russell and Jenny and realized the man was asking around, seemingly prying for information. With that in mind, he went to Luca after Russell had
Russell came out of the office with a smile on his face, happy with the result. He thought it would take some time to convince Darcy to help him arrange a meeting with Edmund. However, that went better than expected. “This woman is stupider than I thought, but it’s better for me to use her this way.” Russell, or Quill, knew the difficulties in his task. He originally had his doubts about Darcy, but after the brief meeting, he found nothing special about her. She was just a typical businesswoman. She was smart in certain aspects, yet gullible in others, which turned her wisdom against her. He came here not to strike a deal with Darcy but to approach Edmund and find the real chief of the Westeros Branch. Using his normal identity would raise suspicion, so he changed his identity to a businessman. Asking someone else to introduce him to Edmund would be a much more logical approach. Quill grinned. Everything seemed to be under control, and it was smooth sailing. It was no
“You are too kind. I’m just trying to help others after what I’ve been through,” Darcy said, then gave Russell a serious look. She had a strange feeling that Russell’s identity might not be as simple as it appeared. He seemed eager to secure a connection to the Witterson Corporation and was clearly more ambitious than a typical department manager.Darcy’s hands were tied, so all she could do was arrange a meeting for him to meet Edmund. As for whether he could strike a deal, it would depend on his pitch and background. “You are indeed a kind person,” Russell said. He looked at her, wondering how she would arrange the dinner later. “Since you are new here, let me arrange dinner with Mr. Witterson. We have to show our hospitality, after all,” Darcy said before looking at Luca. “Pick a place that Mr. Witterson frequently visits and get a secluded place for us to talk,” she said. She looked at Russell and asked, “Are there any requests?” Since she had decided to help, she
“Tell her I have time to meet. Send me the time and location, and I’ll be there.” Edmund did not know who Darcy wanted to introduce him to, but he saw it as a process that he must go through. As for what this mysterious guest wanted, it would depend on how the meeting went. Meeting Darcy was possible because of Kaze, but the requests from the guest would be completely up to him. Bianca was slightly surprised by her boss’ answer. However, she nodded. “I understand, Mr. Witterson. I’ll inform them.” She nodded and left the office, feeling strange about her boss’ reply. With his current status, her boss did not need to do anything difficult. He could just reject it if he did not feel like meeting. However, she felt like her boss was trying to please Darcy and answer all of her requests. Both companies were not equal. They should be the ones trying to please Edmund, not vice versa. As a secretary, though, she knew better than to ask questions or share unnecessary opinio
Seeing Russell’s sincerity, Darcy was willing to give it a try. “All I can do is arrange an appointment. It depends on whether Mr. Witterson has the time. If not, I might not be much help, too,” she answered. “I’m grateful enough for the help either way, Ms. Quint, and still appreciate your assistance,” Russell said and smiled, visibly pleased by her response.Darcy believed Russell was eager to set up a branch office here in Westeros, and wanted to inform Edmund, or had other plans for the meeting. However, she did not delve into the idea and simply wanted to help since they were business partners, and it would only improve their relationship. Darcy called Luca in. “Can you call Mr. Witterson’s assistant and ask for an appointment? Tell him a guest from the North State wants to meet him if he has the time,” she said. Luca was slightly confused. She thought Russell had come here to work with them. Yet, now he had requested through Darcy that he wanted to meet Edmund. Tho
