Chapter 1354 Disillusionment

Wynter glanced at Cyrus. "Even a young girl selling flowers on the street would outperform your sales assistants. Being the top seller in your store probably just requires having hands. There's nothing impressive about that."

Cyrus had a nagging feeling that Wynter didn't like him very much.

But today's events have indeed revealed many issues. The most concerning part was that it had been over ten minutes, yet neither his best friend nor the store manager, Bryson Griffin, had shown up yet!

Cyrus' expression grew even grimmer.

A sales assistant quietly whispered in Cyrus' ear, "Mr. Griffin is in the conference room on the fourth floor.

Cyrus turned and strode quickly toward the stairs.

As he reached the doorway, he could already hear the chatter from inside. One person had his legs crossed, and another was holding a cigarette. Both of them idly tapped away on their phones and made crude comments.

"This chick is really something. She has a big bust."

The other replied with laughter, "Let's invite her over for some fun."

Cyrus nervously glanced at Wynter. He was worried that she might overhear something inappropriate and report him when they returned home. After all, Cyrus wasn't like those guys.

But to Cyrus' surprise, Wynter was even calmer than he was. She cooly tilted his chin, signaling for him to open the door.

Cyrus did as Wynter suggested. He regained his usual demeanor before pushing the door open. "Is this how you guys do business? How do you expect to make money?"

"Who is it? What does it have to do with you whether I make money or not?" The speaker was none other than Benette Wray, Cyrus' best friend, but also someone sent by Kenton.

When Benette looked up and saw Cyrus, his hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly.

"Uh, Cyrus. No offense, man. I just lost a game and was pissed off. We just closed a deal, so the guys and I were just chilling. We were playing a game.

"Making money is important, but you also need to relax a bit, right?" Benette chuckled and put on his best innocent expression, appearing as harmless as possible.

Ilis gaze then shifted to Wynter, and his eyes narrowed. His lips curled up as he took in her appearance. He had never seen a girl this stunning yet fierce in Hawford.

His eyes gleamed with interest as he turned back to Cyrus. "Cyrus, is this your new girl? She's a real beauty!" Benette was practically falling over himself to flatter Cyrus.

Cyrus frowned at Benette's words. "She's my cousin. Wipe that disgusting look off your face!"

Cyrus quickly glanced over at Wynter right after speaking. He was relieved to see that she remained calm and composed, showing no signs of displeasure.

But those who knew Wynter well understood that the calmer she appeared, the more dangerous she became.

She had immediately suspected it was connected to the Blaise family when Benette mentioned that they

had just closed a deal.

Wynter put on the appearance of a sweet and friendly woman as she extended her hand. "Hi, I'm Cyrus' cousin. You must be Benette. Cyrus often talks about you.

"He's always saying how much you've helped him out in Hawford and how grateful he is of you for holding down the fort at the store so you both can make money together!"

Benette swiftly extended his arm and shook Wynter's hand "You're too kind! Cyrus is the real deal, not us. After all, he's the Whitman family's eldest son, and we rely on his connections.

"We'd be starving most of the time with others, but with Cyrus, it feels like we're always feasting!"

Cyrus felt nothing but a pang of disgust hearing these words. If he hadn't been informed of the Blaise family's situation by Wynter, he might have felt touched and thought that having these friends around him was a blessing.

But now, after knowing the truth, the only thing stopping him from snapping was Wynter's advice to take a more diplomatic approach and observe the situation before deciding on a course of action.

Wynter steered the conversation back. "Benette, you mentioned earlier that you just closed a deal. What kind of deal was it? Could you show me what it's about?"
