Chapter 7 I Have A Boyfriend
- "Mr. Fullerton."
- After contemplating for a few seconds, Amelia replied, "I have a boyfriend."
- This incredible stroke of luck, like a gift from the heavens, was something she had never experienced before. She couldn't believe it was true.
- Whether he was testing her further or genuinely needed a marriage partner for some reason, she had no intention of getting involved. So, by claiming to have a boyfriend, she hoped to resolve all the issues!
- Upon hearing her words, Asher pursed his lips and his gaze turned dark.
- "Really?"
- "Why would I lie to you?"
- Before he could speak, Amelia gave a slight bow. "I won't disturb you anymore. Please give me the contract."
- "Mm."
- Asher nodded coldly and didn't try to persuade her to stay. He simply mentioned that the contract was with Matthew before closing the suite door.
- Amelia hurriedly left with the contract, trying to convince herself that the conversation just now was a figment of her imagination.
- Asher wants to marry me? That's absurd!
- After obtaining the contract, Amelia didn't go directly to Anna for the handover but went to find Benjamin.
- She had been involved in this project for such a long time, so suddenly being asked to step down was emotionally and logically unacceptable. Of course, she also knew that she had to consider Benjamin's pride as her leader. Even if she felt wronged, for the sake of work, she had to apologize.
- As soon as Benjamin saw Amelia, his face immediately fell.
- "What do you want?"
- "Sorry, Mr. Coleman. I made you angry yesterday. I thought about it when I went back, and it was indeed my fault." Amelia smiled and took a step forward. "But the cooperation with Prosperous Corporation has been my responsibility all along. I'm afraid if I hand it over to Anna suddenly, there might be oversights that could affect the project. I hope you can forgive me and give me another chance."
- She humbly reminded Benjamin, in the most sincere tone, not to act rashly out of pride.
- Considering the displeasure caused by Ascenda Corporation, if there were further issues with Prosperous Corporation, it wouldn't just be her facing dismissal.
- After some thought, Benjamin looked up and glanced at her.
- "So, are you suggesting that you're indispensable to Prosperous Corporation's project?"
- "Of course not! I simply want to ensure the smooth progress of the project. Look at the contract, I negotiated with the other party countless times, finally managing to raise the value to its peak. You must understand the amount of effort and dedication that went into this."
- Benjamin picked up the contract and quickly glanced at it. Indeed, the deal Amelia had negotiated was higher than expected.
- He cleared his throat a few times, and his brows remained furrowed. "I'll give you one more chance. As you saw yesterday, Mr. Fullerton's control over the entire company is strict. If there's another problem with Prosperous Corporation, you can leave directly."
- Relieved to see him relent, Amelia finally breathed a sigh of relief. "I will definitely do my best. Thank you, Mr. Coleman."
- In a corner of the hotel, a tall man also withdrew his gaze, extinguishing the cigarette in his hand.
- After watching the drama unfold from the sidelines, Solomon Ziegler was thoroughly amused. There was a mischievous air about him. "Well, she is quite attractive! No wonder you finally have earthly desires. Don't worry, leave this matter to me. It's not difficult for me to charm a woman. Just give me the word, and I guarantee she'll willingly appear in your bed tonight!"
- Asher remained silent, his expression cool.
- Seeing him not speaking, Solomon became more enthusiastic. "For a small employee like her, I don't even need to use force. I just need to scare her a bit with a few men."
- "If you dare lay a hand on her, don't bother coming back to the country."
