Chapter 11

It was already closing time, and Pino Capital’s employees were filing out of the company.

Mickey’s patience had exhausted. He couldn’t help but rush to the front desk and ask, “Why haven’t I met the director of your investment department? Did he spend the entire aftemoon on his meeting?”

Mickey’s voice was loud, and his rude attitude attracted many gazes.

However, Mickey didn’t care. He only felt that he had been tricked, and his rage was driving him to do something to vent his anger about being. neglected.

Jenny was even more arrogant. Spoiled by her family, she believed that everyone should be at her service whenever she needed something.

Immediately, she shouted as loud as Mickey, “The director agreed to meet us, but he hasn’t appeared until now! How dare you do this!”

Their roar attracted many employees, who milled around them and started to watch their performance.

Mickey noticed the surrounding employees and became even more excited. “You have to give us an explanation! You can’t fool us around like this!”

Although Mickey shouted as loudly as possible, he didn’t dare to go against Pino Capital.

But now, under Jenny’s admiring gaze, Mickey could only make a fuss to make everyone pay attention to him.

“Mr. Blake, I told you at the very beginning that you were not guaranteed to meet the director of our investment department today. He did spend his entire afternoon on his meeting. If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing more I can say.”

Mickey wasn’t convinced. He snorted coldly and said, “If you don’t want to cooperate with us, just say it! You don’t have to trick us like this!”

Seeing that Mickey still wanted to pester her, the receptionist stopped explaining and called the security guard. “Please ask this gentleman to leave. He’s not in the mood to have a proper conversation!”

Mickey’s eyes widened. “What do you mean?”

“Nothing. I just want you to know that your company is not the only one that wants to cooperate with us. If you can’t show us your sincerity, you don’t need to stay here any longer.”

Mickey thought he could meet the director of the investment department by throwing a temper. After all, Pino Capital was a big company, and he thought they wouldn’t want anyone to mess around.

However, the receptionist’s attitude was so tough that she had left him no other choices.

Mickey was stunned. “We did show our sincerity. But you… You bullied us just because we’re from a small company!”

The receptionist didn’t want to be polite with Mickey anymore. “To be honest, countless people want to cooperate with us. We also have the right to choose our partner. You have no right to accuse us!”

Jenny gritted her teeth and said, “Mickey, let’s go! Pino Capital is not the only wealthy company in the world! I’ll go home and ask my father to invest in our company. We don’t need to beg them!”

Mickey didn’t want to lose this opportunity. After all, Pino Capital had a very high status in the industry. If they actually offended Pino Capital… Mickey suddenly felt a bit regretful..

If he had known it earlier, he would never quarrel with the receptionist!

However, mistakes had already been made, and there was no way of turning back.

Under many employees‘ scornful gazes, Mickey said angrily, “Let’s go!”

He once had some expectations about today’s appointment. However…

Mickey had never been so humiliated before. Although he was the director of the commercial department, he was nothing in front of Pino Capital. Even a receptionist could foof him and drive him away!

Moreover, Mickey hadn’t even met the director that he had made an appointment with until now!

“How dare they be so arrogant? What’s so good about them?”

Jenny snapped, “Don’t worry, Mickey. I’ll help you!”

Mickey hugged Jenny tightly and said, “Thank you, baby. You’re my savior…”

At this moment, Mickey believed that his decision to dump Giselle and be together with Jenny was the best he had ever made.

Jenny could save his ass, but Giselle wouldn’t do anything to help him at this critical moment.

Chapter 11

Pino Capital.

In the president’s office.

Leo told Hymes everything that had happened downstairs.

Hymes, who was browsing the documents, looked up at Leo lazily.

“I guess the word ‘Shameless‘ is not in the dictionary of everyone.”

Leo also disdained Mickey for daring to argue with the receptionist.

Then, Leo said, “Mickey’s girlfriend, Jenny Clarks, claimed that her family will invest in Domino Media.”

“Really?”

A trace of coldness appeared at the corner of Hymes” lips. “Then you need to make sure that her family can never make this investment. Do you understand?”

“Yes, sir!”

Leo once again felt sorry for Domino Media because they had offended this devil’s sweetheart.

Giselle was the only woman that Hymes had ever been interested in. The result of offending her would be severe.

Mickey and Jenny hadn’t come back when it was almost time to get off work.

Everyone was talking about whether they could win the cooperation with Pino Capital.

“Since Pino Capital had invited Mr. Blake to negotiate with them, there wouldn’t be any problem!”

“If our company wants to reach a whole other level, we have to rely on Pino Capital. If they actually agree to invest in our company, can I… ask for a raise?”

“Haha! It seems that a raise is much more important than anything!”

“If Mr. Blake can cooperate with Pino Capital, he will become the savior of our company…”

While discussing, they glanced at Giselle from time to time.

The pity and sympathy in their gazes were very obvious.

The employees believed that Kevin hadn’t fired Giselle because Mickey was not strong enough to be irreplaceable to the company.

However, if Mickey managed to persuade Pino Capital to cooperate with Domino Media, Kevin would definitely consider Mickey as the most valuable employee of the company.

At that time, Giselle would have no reason to stay.

However, Giselle chose to ignore the others‘ gazes.

She didn’t care about others and only focused on her job.

After negotiating with various organizers about the possibility of further cooperation, it was almost time to get off work.

Giselle happened to receive a message from Hymes: [Shall we eat at home tonight? I’ll cook.]

Thinking about the feast at noon, Giselle swallowed and replied: (Okay. I’ll come back after getting off work.]

After leaving the company, Giselle bought a bouquet on her way home.

It wasn’t for something special. Giselle only felt that she was in a good mood and wanted to decorate her apartment with flowers.

She didn’t expect Hymes to come home earlier than she did.

Looking at the man who was busy cooking in the kitchen, Giselle was stunned. She asked, “What’s wrong with the insurance business? Is it in a slump?”

Hymes actually had time to cook at noon and came home earlier.

However, Giselle always felt that an insurance salesperson should be very busy every day.

Hymes explained emotionlessly, “Yeah. The insurance business has been off–season recently.”
