Love Comes To Me
Chapter 77 Here Comes Mr. Rogers

'Great, I can go out and have a good time tonight.' Hector, on the phone, was excited.

After hanging up, Hector suddenly called Eloise.

Back from the hospital, Eloise stayed at home all day, feeling bored.

The phone on the desk suddenly rang, and she paused before answering.

"Have you eaten yet?"

Eloise was stunned by the deep and attractive voice on the other end of the line, so it took a few seconds for her to reply. "I have already eaten."

"I have something to do tonight, so I'll come over and see you later."

"It's all right, so you go about your business."

He called her specifically to say this as if they had a close relationship. Eloise couldn't help thinking to herself like this.

"Okay."

Hector raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and after he hung up the phone, he looked at the papers on his desk again. Later, he told his assistant to drive to a party hosted by the DSO Group.

Hector's assistant was stunned because he didn't expect that Hector would want to go to the party, but he didn't dare say anything.

When the car arrived at the hotel, Hector got out.

At this time, a dinner party was being held in the banquet hall on the third floor. Robbie was talking to a foreign man at the dinner party, while the foreign man was wearing a black suit, appearing to be in his forties. He was the president of DSO Group, and his name was Ethan Marshall.

Robbie kept an eye on the DSO Group, so once he knew they're hosting the party, Robbie managed to get an invitation.

The longer his project was delayed, the more money Tompson Group and Gardner Group were going to lose, so Robbie's already in hot water.

But Robbie thought if he could negotiate a partnership with Ethan tonight, everything would be solved.

Robbie and Ethan were having a great conversation, while Robbie looked elegant and relaxed, like a gentleman.

By the end of their conversation, Ethan smiled and said. "Mr. Gardner, the project you proposed is very good, so I'm interested in it."

Robbie raised the corners of his mouth when he heard those words.

Just then one of the employees came in a hurry and said to Ethan. "Mr. Ethan, Mr. Rogers is here."

Ethan was surprised, looking towards the door of the hall where the party was held.

Sure enough, Hector was dressed in a black suit, looking deadpan as if he didn't like the company of people he didn't know, while all the people at the party could not help but look at him and be deeply impressed by his imposing manner. Ethan was stunned for a few seconds because he didn't expect Hector to come to the dinner party in person, and he ignored Robbie, walking over to Hector to greet him.

"Hello, Mr. Rogers, I'm Ethan, president of DSO Group. I've heard a lot about you, and sure enough, Mr. Rogers, you're handsome and charming." Ethan said these words to Hector, his tone sounded a little respectful.

Hector smiled faintly. "You flatter me, Mr. Ethan."

"Mr. Rogers, this way, please."

Hector strode into the party after Ethan, and as he passed Robbie, he glanced at Robbie with his deep eyes.

Even though Hector only glanced at Robbie, Hector's cold eyes made Robbie stand stiff, not daring to move, and suddenly a bad feeling came over Robbie.

Hector hasn't been interested in talking about projects in detail in the past, but tonight Hector suddenly had a long conversation with Ethan. Robbie didn't know what they were talking about, and after about half an hour, Hector was gone.

Ethan walked Hector off with a big smile on his face, while Robbie has been waiting for Ethan at the dinner party, so after Hector left, Robbie walked up to Ethan, asking him, "Well, Mr. Ethan, what about our cooperation..." After hearing those words, Ethan came to his senses, looking slightly apologetic.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gardner, but I just made a deal with Mr. Rogers about a project, so I'm afraid we're going to have to spend all our funds on that project. I'm afraid we can't do business with your company now, so I'm very sorry."

They had just expanded their business domestically, so between the Rogers Group and the Gardner Group, it was natural for them to negotiate a partnership with the Rogers Group, which was the more established and powerful company. The smile on Robbie's face froze, but Robbie still tried to smile and said. "That's all right, Mr. Ethan. If there's a chance, let's do business together." Although Robbie was smiling, he was furious in his heart because the solution he had worked so hard to come up with had suddenly failed. Ethan didn't say another word to Robbie, leaving.

...

Robbie looked terrible all the way home.

Agnes sat down on the sofa without realizing that what was happening. She said hello to Robbie as she watched TV. "Robbie, you're back!" Robbie ignored her, took off his coat, and sat on the edge of the sofa, looking gloomy.

"I saw a handbag in the shopping mall today, so why don't you buy it for me tomorrow?" Agnes spoke to him in a kind of coquettish tone.

Agnes had already given the man $200, 000, and this morning she secretly gave a lot of money to his family, too, while the handbag cost a lot of money, so she was a little short of cash for a while. Robbie, who was in a bad mood, got even angrier when he heard that.

"And you want a new handbag? Agnes, do you have any idea what a mess you've made?"

Agnes was in a daze after Robbie yelled at her. At this time, she realized that Robbie was in a bad mood, but he was fine this morning, wasn't he? "What's the matter, Robbie?" Agnes asked him cautiously.

Robbie got up, pulled at his tie, and kicked the table impatiently, looking grumpy.

Agnes was shocked, and she stood up, took Robbie's arm, and asked. "Robbie, what's going on?"

Robbie shook off Agnes' hand, yelling at her. "Why do you have to mess with Eloise? Don't you know who she's with now? You've almost killed me."

He and Ethan were on good terms with everything, so if Hector didn't show up tonight, he'd be able to negotiate a partnership with DSO Group.

Agnes offended Hector, but Hector came here tonight to get back at him. Well, now he couldn't start the project he's working on, so the Tompson Family and the Gardner Family were in trouble.

If Hector kept them from doing business with others like he did tonight, Tompson Group and Gardner Group would be in direct danger of bankruptcy.

"What?" Agnes was confused for a moment. "Didn't we pay to keep the thing under the carpet?"

Did Hector replace out and make trouble for Robbie at work?

"Agnes, do you think Hector is that easy to fool? Is it something you would have so easily tried to hide? Our project with DSO Group has now been taken over by Rogers Group. Well, now, we, the Tompson family and the Gardner family, are in trouble because of what you did."

After Robbie said that, he went to his room. Suddenly she heard a bang, seeing that he had closed the door.

Agnes stood still, as in all the years they've known each other, Robbie has never been so angry with her. She gritted her teeth angrily, thinking it was all because of Eloise, the bitch.
