Can't Get Away With You novel Chapter 41

The Secretary hesitated for a while and said, "Madam, I'm going to travel tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Can I..."

Lois frowned, "tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

"Yes..."

Lois was stunned. Why did she suddenly tell her that she needed to rest for two days? What about the company?

"tomorrow will not be good. But I can fix it on the day after tomorrow and next day."

Lois refused bluntly. Even if she had transferred a capable person from Tania, she still needed time to adapt. There were three contracts tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. She couldn't make any mistake in such a hurry.

The Secretary bit her lips and said, "I've been overwork for half a month in a row. Is it so difficult to ask for two days off?"

Lowering her head, Lois continued to look at the contract, "I gave you more than 2000 bonus last month. Is it so difficult for you to hold on for a little longer?

The Secretary gritted her teeth, threw the documents in her hands on the table, and ran out of the office with red eyes.

Lois understood the little secretary's emotion. She reached out to take the work card thrown by the little secretary. Generally speaking, she was having the normal efficiency and normal quality of the work which were acceptable.

Lois picked up the phone and dialed Tania's number. Tania was reading documents in a daze. When she picked up the phone and heard what Lois wanted, she laughed out loud, "Hey, I say, didn't you ask her why she asked for a two-days off?"

Hearing that, Lois was stunned. If she told her that was about traveling, it would surely attract jokes. She changed the topic and said, "check if there is any one who works hard on your side. Adjust it for me."

Lois was very glad to call Tania. The little secretary didn't come on the second day, but she did finished around 80% of her work, which was a good job.

When they were talking about the cooperation, the little secretary, who was transferred from Tania, was listening. Lois pulled the assistant of the business department and her assistant to negotiate with the other party.

The contract was concluded in a simple and efficient way. With the reason that she had just been discharged from the hospital and was not feeling well, Lois asked several senior executives of the company to communicate with the people sent by the other company

The company's development was getting more and more smooth. Tania had jumped out of the scope of a medium-sized company but became a big boss not inferior to JF Group.

Not only did Lois intend to do that, but Tania also wanted to expand the scale of Lois's business. Moreover, Tania's original office still had a two-year lease, and Tania also intended to transfer it to Lois.

When Lois was hesitating, a phone call came from the office.

Lois picked up the phone and said in a gentle voice from Kent, "Lois, I'm Kent."

With the same kind attitude, Lois smiled, "what's up, Kent?"

In fact, she wanted to ask Kent how he knew the phone number of her office.

Kent paused for a moment and said, "come out at noon. Let's have lunch together."

Lois hesitated for a while. There was a meeting at two o'clock in the afternoon. She wanted to sort out the relevant documents and manuscript, now she was caught off guard by the unexpected invitation of Kent.

Hesitating for a while, Lois refused, "Kent, here is the thing. I..."

"The second western restaurant on golden street. I'll wait for you there at noon. See you."

His tone was still gentle, but Lois didn't interrupt. Before she could explain and refuse, the phone was hung up.

Heaving a sigh, Lois called her secretaries in and asked them to sort out the information related to the "company expansion plan". Then She would get familiar with the structure and detailed explanation of JF Group as soon as possible, preparing to negotiate with JF Group tomorrow morning.

All her plans were messed up by Kent. Lois could only blame herself for being too soft hearted to refuse a person who had once been nice for her.

It was not until it was time to get off work that Lois took the key to the car, got off the elevator with the company's staff, and drove to the golden street.

After parking the car in the parking lot, [Lois entered the western restaurant with her handbag.

Kent had ordered something to drink. Looking at the menu in front of her, Lois admired his meticulousness.

She asked him about his preferences, but she was surprised to know that Kent liked Fillet steak. After ordering, Lois drank two mouthfuls of watermelon juice and looked up at Kent who was staring at her.

"I came too fast." Lois smiled shyly.

"It seems that you've been very busy recently," said Kent, hiding his excitement

"Yes, very busy." Lois took another sip of watermelon juice and asked, "why did you ask me out for dinner today?"

Kent looked around, lowered his body mysteriously and looked at her cunningly. "Lois, do you want to do something big?"

Lois was stunned. She had never seen Kent behave so mysteriously like an underground organizer who sent messages secretly.

Lois couldn't help laughing at the look of Kent, so she followed his example and leaned over the table. "What's that?"

Kent took out a customized book similar to a plan from his bag and handed it to Lois, "Here it is."

Lois looked at Kent and then looked down at the document. She put the watermelon juice in front of her aside, opened the document and began to browse.

This was a new project in the investment field. Since Lois started to invest in business, she had never seen such a financial project. It was an investment in the future of the sun, dedicated to the future development of all companies.

It was more like grasping the lifeblood than investment.

"This plan..."

"It's made by me," said Kent, pushing his glasses on the bridge of his nose. "I'm going to invest in your company."

Lois was stunned and looked at Kent in disbelief. Although her company had made a lot of money recently, it was nothing for HN Group. Why did he like her company?

Taking a sip of coffee, Kent said, "Lois, you must be confused why I chose you."

Lois didn't answer, "of course I'm confused.".

Kent continued, "in China, the people I trust are not in the investment field, and the people in the investment field are more or less interested in HN Group, not me. Even if I cooperate with them today, if I jump out of HN Group tomorrow, they may refuse to cooperate with me because of my different identity."

But you are relatively stable.

On this point, Lois and Kent thought the same, but neither of them spoke it out.

However, what Lois didn't know was that all the thoughts and words of Kent now had deeper thoughts. He was in urgent need of hard conditions to compete with Joey. The company couldn't compare with Maggie, but if Lois encountered the indifference of Joey, she would definitely not be able to hold on.

Kent knew that he didn't need to be on guard against anything else. As long as he defeated Joey and broke up the relationship between the two, he would be the only one who had a relationship with Lois.

A shrewd light flashed through his gold eyes. Business man valued profit, but he was willing to press everything in exchange for the rest of Lois's life.

After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, Lois still refused the "kindness" of Kent.
