Chapter 206 

Even Zack looked down on Katherine, and no one in their circle bothered to acknowledge her.

Katherine was just a good-looking gold-digger in their eyes.

"You know yourself perfectly well, Miss Wilson" Maxton mocked.

Anger was slowly seeping in Katherine when she heard Maxton's reply.

Hiding her irritation, she languidly reached out her glass of red wine and took a sip.

She looked up at him with a smile, saying, "My understanding of myself is perfectly fine.You, however,doesn't seem like it.”After she spoke, she smiled faintly and tilted her head to look at Celine.Celineraised her hand in recognition and placed the document on the table, sliding the folder in front ofMaxton.

“Mr.Maxton, this is the reported situation of Lux International for the past three years.In the past eightmonths, the company has closed down nearly a hundred stores throughout the country.The companyhas a total of two hundred and forty-eight as of now.Lux International has not only been in badcondition regarding networking, but even the sales on the Internet have greatly beendiminishing.According to your official data, from last October, the company's products and services hadbegun to decline greatly.The monthly income of three hundred percent less than the quota has notbeen enough" Katherine announced curtly.

Katherine paused for a moment, "Right now, Lux International reportedly has an estimated threehundred million dollars left in its account.How are you supposed to solve this predicament,Mr.Maxton?"

"Or perhaps, you want to contact Mr.Charles to deal with this" Katherine smirked tauntingly.

"You..." Maxton gritted his teeth in anger.

Just a few words from Katherine caused Maxton to lose his temper.

"I was supposed to meet Ms.Summer today"

Maxton seethed, his eyes flashing from suppressed anger.

Katherine completely knew the meaning behind Maxton's words.She wasn't supposed to have thisconversation and did not deserve to dine at the same table with him.

"I am Ms.Summer's right hand.She's currently busy and doesn't have time to see you.She gave me fullauthority to handle this matter.If you feel that this is unacceptable, then you'll have to wait untilMs.Summer has time to see you" Katherine said in a formal tone.

Lux International might be closed down by the time Maxton met Ms.

Summer if he insisted on discussing this matter with her.

It would prolong their time in solving this issue, so he had to act now.

Katherine was smiling bitterly at Maxton at the beginning until she finished her words.

To her delight, her every sentence made Maxton firmly set in his place.

Celine took a discreet glance at Katherine from her side.

It was not the first time she had witnessed Katherine negotiating, and she had always been amazed byher business skills ever since.

‘That's what you call powerful!’ Celine cheered in her mind.

‘This is entertaining!’ She laughed mentally.

That was just a few words, but it put Maxton in his place.

Celine had a feeling that Maxton would be crushed again even more by Katherine if this went on.

Celine couldn't help the excitement she was feeling when she thought about it! Katherine glanced atCeline and smiled.

She then looked at Maxton’s way, "Looks like I don't have the honor to have this meal with Mr.Maxtontoday"she appeared as if hurt.

She smiled faintly at Maxton and placed her bag in front of her.She stood up and turned to the door.

Her actions were crisp and clean, and it didn’t seem like she was acting at all.

Maxton didn't even have time to react when she stood up, but he became anxious when Katherine wasalmost close to the door.

"Wait a minute!"

Katherine, who was already halfway to stepping out the door stopped, and turned her back to look athim with a knowing smile.

"Yes, Mr.Maxton?"

"You simply misunderstood me, Miss Katherine.I didn't mean that.I came here with great sincerity todayto discuss the matter, Maxton said.This time, Maxton was no longer looking displeased before herpresence.

Katherine laughed.

"Of course, we also came with Ms.Summer's sincerity"

Weston immediately acted away to mediate the situation.

He already walked up to Katherine and made a "please" gesture.

"Miss Katherine, Miss Celine, please, let's eat first." Katherine raised her eyebrows.

She chuckled a little and made her way back to her seat.

Maxton was sullen as they ate their dinner.

He wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but whenever he looked up and saw Katherine'sface, his tongue would retreat.

Although Katherine's beautiful eyes looked friendly and inviting, Maxton couldn't sense any warmthfrom her.He felt belittled when Katherine looked at him.

Maxton was thankful to his secretary.

Weston was racking his brains out to talk about things just so their table would not feel awkward andsilent.

Katherine ate while listening but did not bother to respond.

Maxton's secretary was clearly embarrassed, and it was not good for him not to say anything.

If he wouldn't utter a single word, this situation would definitely reach an impasse.
