A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love
Chapter 646

Different from the undercurrents on Daybreak's side, Hestia's methods of making things difficult for Duval Group were relatively more straightforward.

Benji brought the proposal out of her office with a demoralized expression. And as soon as the team waiting for the results saw Benji's look, they immediately knew that Hestia must have returned the proposal again, and they could not help but feel a little defeated for a while.

When Hestia came into the company yesterday, she only wandered around the company, making Benji feel a little uneasy. However, Hestia started asking questions related to the project that morning, and both the previously proposed plan and its backup had all been rejected by her.

Now the entire Team A that was in charge of the project was outside Hestia's office. They were there waiting to receive Hestia's next order at any time, and among them was the unlucky Benji.

Although Hestia had been making things difficult for them deliberately, everyone could still see that every point that Hestia put forward was something they could not accomplish at this moment, so all they could do now was curse the evil capitalist deep down while correcting all the problems that Hestia had pointed out.

The most devastated person in the group was actually Benji. After all, the others were only there to modify the proposal, but he was the one who had to face the devil head-on.

"Mr. Lynch, Mr. Duval asked you to go downstairs to pick someone up." Seeing that Benji was walking out of the office, the secretary standing next to Team A instantly said, "Right now."

Benji's eyes lit up; he handed the proposal back to the members of Team A and dashed downstairs. He originally thought it would still take a while longer for Kenji to arrive at Duval Group, but he did not expect him to come so soon.

As soon as Benji left the scene, Hestia opened the door and came out. "Has Benji gone downstairs?"

The team members looked at each other in dismay. Although Hesper was now their immediate superior and had an unclear relationship with Rickard, they also knew that she was not part of the company, so they did not know whether they should disclose Benji's itinerary to her.

Hestia could tell what they were thinking at a glance. Seeing that they did not intend to answer her question, she took a few steps backward unconcernedly. "Okay, you people are to come up with a new proposal. If we were not in Halwanest, but Fredonia instead, and I was your direct superior, your salary for this month would have already been flushed down the drain at this very moment."

After saying so, Hestia closed the door, leaving all the team members with their heads bowed guiltily.

All of them once heard employees from Lane Holdings say that Ms. Lane was very gentle on the surface, but as soon as it came to work, she would turn into someone else. They did not believe how strict Hesper could be with her employees before this, but they did not expect they would have the opportunity to experience it themselves someday in the future.

At the same time, Benji had already picked Kenji up and they were on their way up in the elevator.

"Where is Ms. Rivera?" Kenji was dressed in black, and everyone should be able to tell from his appearance that he looked somewhat similar to Benji.

But because Benji wore a business suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses that had not been changed for as long as he was alive, one would always see the shrewdness of an entrepreneur in him. However, Kenji was different; he was usually casually and ordinarily dressed, so one might subconsciously ignore this man at first glance most of the time.

Benji scratched his neck. "She proposed to work opposite Mr. Duval, so her office is now located opposite to that of Mr. Duval."

Kenji was silent for a while.

When performing his missions outside, Kenji had heard a lot about this woman who went by the name Ms. Rivera. After all, she was once Rickard's nominal wife. However, Kenji had not cared about her, as according to others, she was only a pushover that anyone could kick around.

Kenji did not believe that Rickard would get himself involved and entangled with such an ordinary woman.

Who would have known that the news that came to him ever since the marriage became more and more outrageous.

"I also heard from Mr. Duval that Ms. Rivera seems to have some reconnaissance skills." Kenji was curious about this. "Although the Deschamps are involved in some suspicious businesses, Ms. Rivera had only gone missing for half a year, hadn't she...? So why would the patriarch of the Deschamps not only let her get involved with their family businesses, but also let her learn reconnaissance skills in the past six months?"

Benji had always been in charge of all legal deals in Duval Group, so when the tortuous words came out of Kenji's mouth, Benji did not quite understand them and was only able to grasp onto the key points.
