Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1221 - チャプター 1230

Her mind was still stuck on Tessa’s final words, which was why she had forgotten to ask her name.Now, faced with Daniel’s sharp gaze, she couldn’t even muster a defense.Daniel said sternly, “Our company doesn’t need useless people like you. You do things half-heartedly, and your thoughts are on the wrong things. Tell me, why should we keep you?”At his words, the secretary nearly collapsed to her knees.She quickly begged, “Please, Mr. Lewis, it was my fault. I was careless, but I’ll be more careful next time.”Desperate, she added, “This was my first mistake. Please forgive me, I promise it won’t happen again.”Tears streamed down her face as she tugged her blouse slightly lower, almost without thinking.Daniel’s eyes darkened.She already had a striking figure, and this move made his throat tighten.“All right, since it’s your first offense.” Daniel cleared his throat. “Get it sorted and tell her I’ll be available tomorrow.”“Thank you, Mr. Lewis. Thank you for letting me stay, fo

The secretary remembered her earlier mistake and made sure to make up for it this time.Tessa, unsuspecting, replied, “My surname’s Walton—Tessa Walton. I’m the eldest daughter of Walton Corporation’s chairwoman, and I’ve just taken over as the new director.”As she spoke of her position, her chin lifted unconsciously, pride written all over her face.Her identity carried weight, and a mere secretary asking her name wasn’t like that arrogant receptionist who hadn’t even bothered.Clearly, this secretary was more sensible.Hearing Tessa’s status, the secretary felt a flicker of unease. She hadn’t expected the caller to be someone so prominent.If she built a good relationship with her, the road ahead would be even smoother.“So you’re Walton Corporation’s heiress—I truly underestimated you before,” the secretary flattered.So openly praised, Tessa floated a little higher.With a serious tone, she said, “Not at all. You didn’t know before—ignorance is no crime.”The secretary almost scof

Tessa studied the woman and quickly guessed her identity. “Yes, you must be the secretary I spoke with on the phone yesterday.”“Miss Walton, you’ve got quite the memory,” the secretary said with a smile, leading her toward a nearby conference room. “Please, come this way. Mr. Lewis has been waiting for you.”Tessa nodded slightly, her confidence growing. She hadn’t expected Daniel to wait for her—surely that meant the chances of securing this project were even higher.When she stepped inside, she was greeted by the sight of a portly man, a string of beads rolling between his fingers, his whole demeanor slick and shifty.Pressing her lips together, Tessa held back her irritation. Instead of the arrogance she’d shown earlier, she now introduced herself with a pleasant tone. “Hello, Mr. Lewis. I’m Tessa Walton, director of Walton Corporation.”Daniel replied bluntly, “I know. You must be Aurora’s sister.”The words froze her in place.Since when did she need to be introduced with Auror

Daniel was moved, if only a little, by Tessa’s sincerity.And truth be told, this contract would bring him considerable profit.“All right then, just leave the contract here. I’ll think it over,” Daniel said with a faint smile.Tessa froze.She had already offered such generous terms—why was he still unwilling?“Mr. Lewis, are there conditions in the contract you’re dissatisfied with?” she pressed, unable to hold back her curiosity.She couldn’t understand it. She had practically handed him free profit, so why hesitate?By all logic, he should have accepted immediately.Yet all she got was, “I’ll consider it.”That was hard to swallow.“No, the terms are quite satisfactory,” Daniel said, flipping through the contract again.He was indeed pleased with what she proposed.But the thought of Lucas made him pause.Hearing that only deepened Tessa’s confusion.“In that case, when will we sign?” she asked quickly. She had always been a woman of action, and now, with his words, she was sure he

“Mr. Carter, what should we do now?”Lucas glanced at the message, his expression calm.“This doesn’t require my opinion. Ask Daniel—whoever he thinks is suitable, he can work with.” He paused, then added, “It doesn’t matter who he partners with, but absolutely not Joseph.”Hearing this, Desmond immediately understood.“Mr. Carter, don’t worry. I’ll make sure she gets the instructions clearly.”“That’s fine.”Lucas lifted his hand, signaling Desmond to handle it.With a small nod, Desmond left the office.Back in his own office, Desmond sent Daniel a message.“Handle the project as you see fit, as long as it’s not with Joseph.”Daniel had been waiting anxiously for a reply.When he finally saw the message, he didn’t text back—he called directly.Desmond hesitated for a moment but eventually answered.The moment the line connected, Daniel’s voice came through in a near-complaint. “Mr. Watson, what should I do? Miss Walton from Walton Corporation came to me today—it was Tessa.”Worried
