Maricela always felt that Roland's words were directed at her. Now, she was the only one left in the sales department who hadn't closed a deal. Maricela was very unwilling, but the thought of having to deal with those bosses made her feel disgusted and uninterested in her work."There's only one week left until the New Year. Let's stay confident!""Yes!"Joking aside, one deal is worth ten, and you can even get more bonus points. Who wouldn't work hard for it?"Maricela, stay behind." When the meeting ended, Roland called Maricela over.Reluctantly, Maricela sat down next to Roland and forced a smile. "Director, is there anything you need?"After everyone had left, Roland slowly spoke up, "Maricela, is there any problem with your work recently? It seems like you're the only one in the sales department who hasn't closed a deal."Maricela's expression stiffened, and she awkwardly replied, "Uh, I haven't done this before, so...""If you haven't done sales before, then you should listen
Xavier, the bankrupt owner of Harvard Group. He is now the nominal president of TI and has a cooperative relationship with Carissa."Is Carissa here?" Maricela asked Xavier directly as soon as he opened the door."She's not here. Why didn't you go to Perotone to find her? Why did you come here?" Xavier asked Maricela with a familiar smile."No one answered her office phone."Xavier raised his eyebrows and nodded without saying anything.When Xavier was about to enter the TI gate, Maricela stopped him and asked, "Do you know where Carissa is?""She hasn't contacted me for a long time, and I usually don't look for her when I have nothing to do." Xavier felt relieved when he thought of the resources that Carissa had transferred to him a few days ago.Anyway, TI had survived this year, and as for what would happen after the new year, he would deal with it later. Maricela felt that something was wrong. Did Carissa disappear?After leaving TI, Maricela went to Perotone.Hcorp and Perotone
"Ah? Really? You didn't mention it before?" Kathy pretended to be calm as she looked at Dominic, chuckling softly as a faint smile lifted the corners of her lips."Kathy, as far as I know, you're not close with Roland, and you're not a pushover, let alone a saint. What are you up to?" Dominic asked, his tone stern.Kathy chuckled, "You found out, you're really smart!""Don't try to flatter me!" Dominic poked Kathy's forehead with his index finger, annoyed. "Come clean, what have you been up to behind my back? How long have you been eavesdropping outside when I mentioned his illness and you suddenly appeared?""Oh, not long, just over twenty minutes," Kathy confessed everything before Dominic reached his boiling point.The unit that cooperated with Hcorp for medical examinations was the hospital where Dr. Bryson worked. Kathy had discussed with him that they would take 200cc of blood from her for research every month, and a few days ago was the day they had agreed to take blood.After
After visiting Perotone, Maricela continued to call Carissa every day. At first, the calls went unanswered, but later the phone was simply out of service. This gave Maricela a bad feeling. Could something have happened to her friend?Maricela couldn't help but think of what her uncle had told her - that Westford Capital had gone bankrupt and Estela was now in jail. Thinking back, it wasn't hard to understand how Westford Capital had ended up in this situation. With so many people in Westford Capital, why was it only Estela who was in jail? Undoubtedly, it was because of the incident at the Henderson family's New Year's Eve party. Dominic alone couldn't have taken down Westford Capital, and he was still waiting for Westford Capital's financing. It was probably the doing of the Henderson family patriarch.The more Maricela thought about it, the more anxious she became. She decided to take a taxi to the city prison, a place that made her feel unbearable just thinking about it."Do you ha
"The medicine was obtained for me by Brett. As Miss Estela, I am constantly under media scrutiny, and even if I were to take a normal dose of sedatives or hypnotics, it would still arouse a lot of speculation. This would be extremely detrimental to the Westford family," Estela said, with a self-deprecating smile on her lips."Now that the Westford family is no more, what's the point of talking about stock prices?" she continued, realizing the truth of the matter only now. She had thought she was the yellow bird standing behind the praying mantis, but in reality, she was just a cicada on a tree."What did Maricela say to you just now that made you loosen your tongue? Weren't you adamant about not revealing anything before?" Estela opened her eyes and gave a cold glance at a certain spot.Parker, behind the glass wall, raised an eyebrow. This toothless tiger still had quite a presence."She didn't say anything to me, but she said everything," Estela replied, her mind already somewhat mu
Carissa looked at the unfamiliar number on her phone and confirmed for a long time before recognizing that the person on the other end was her uncle, Brett."Uncle, what's going on? What happened?" Carissa's voice trembled.Brett wouldn't call her during his vacation unless something serious had happened."Estela has told everything!" Brett's voice was filled with anxiety. He knew all too well what would happen to him if he got caught for smuggling illegal drugs into the country and causing harm to others. He would be executed multiple times over.Carissa dropped her phone to the ground with a loud bang.There was silence on the other end, and Brett's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. He realized that he couldn't rely on a child like Carissa in such a situation. Besides, he had volunteered for this in the first place. He just didn't expect everything to happen so quickly."Uncle, hold on. I'll tell Dad everything. He'll help us! As long as we keep this quiet, we'll be okay!" Ca
"Don't call my wife in the middle of the night anymore. She works hard every day and is so busy that she only has eyes for me. You better give up on her now." Dominic said with a slightly teasing tone, bringing his lips close to the phone and speaking softly to Wilson. "Okay." Wilson didn't know what kind of emotion he was feeling as he hung up the phone, but at that moment, he felt a deep sense of guilt towards his elder brother. He didn't expect that the relationship between Kathy and Dominic was so transparent as if they had no secrets between them. "He's hung up, you can put your hand down now." Dominic looked down at the small head buried in his chest, then at the hand holding the phone above his head, which was trembling slightly. His heart softened. "You're suffocating me." Kathy let out a big breath, lifted her head from Dominic's chest, and took a deep breath of fresh air. Then she put her hand down and rubbed it. "Are you sure it's okay to treat Wilson like th
"Wait a minute." Dominic swallowed his saliva. He had lived for almost thirty years, but he had never been as nervous as he was now."Don't worry, my parents are very nice people. They won't give you a hard time." Kathy giggled at Dominic, blinked, and opened the door with a smile."This is my first time coming to your house. Shouldn't I bring a gift? Otherwise, it would be impolite to come empty-handed." Dominic looked at himself, empty-handed, feeling a bit regretful.Kathy chuckled, "My parents don't care about these things.""No, let's go buy something." Dominic pulled Kathy and headed towards the entrance of the community.“Harry, did you see that girl just now? Is it Kathy from the Thompson family?" A middle-aged woman carrying vegetables asked her husband who was walking beside her.Harry shook his head, "I didn't see clearly. Let's hurry back. It's going to snow soon, and it will be difficult to walk later."Both Naomi and Harry forgot to bring their access cards and were tra
