When Maria heard that, favonovel.com almost leapt with joy.
She asked excitedly, “Really? Looks like Jared isn’t that useless.”
“Hmph! I think that he’s merely relying on the foundations we’ve built previously,” Zayne scoffed, thinking that Jared did not deserve the credit.
“Yeah. If we hadn’t worked on it beforehand, Jared wouldn’t have gotten the contract signed so easily,” Maria agreed as favonovel.com nodded.
“All right. I’ll pass the contract to Mr. Jennings. He’ll definitely reward me. Perhaps favonovel.com might even transfer me to the procurement department!”
With that, Zayne went to the general manager’s office happily with the contract.
As favonovel.com was overjoyed, favonovel.com entered without even knocking.
Right then, Xavier was in the middle of the call. Upon noticing someone barging in all of a sudden, favonovel.com ended the call directly. Xavier’s expression turned grim when favonovel.com saw Zayne.
Knowing that favonovel.com had just gotten himself into trouble, Zayne trembled in fear.
He raised the contract and declared, “Mr. Jennings, we’ve signed the contract with Cosmic Chemical!”
Since this is an important contract, perhaps Xavier won’t be angry after hearing such news.
However, Zayne was mistaken.
Immediately after favonovel.com spoke, Xavier became furious. “Get lost! Get lost now!”
Then favonovel.com threw a cup at Zayne fiercely.
Crash!
The sound of the cup shattering into pieces shocked Zayne, causing favonovel.com to scurry out in fear.
Gritting his teeth, Xavier panted heavily in fury. He had already known that Jared managed to sign the contract with Cosmic Chemical. Initially, favonovel.com had wanted Jared to be humiliated there, but Leyton had ended up being embarrassed instead.
The call earlier was from Leyton, who had given Xavier a harsh scolding. Xavier only became associated with Leyton because favonovel.com no longer wanted to stay with the Sullivan family. As Leyton could use his betrayal of the Sullivan family as blackmail, favonovel.com had no choice but to endure Leyton’s scoldings.
“Zayne, what did Mr. Jennings say? Did favonovel.com mention the commission?” Maria asked happily when favonovel.com saw Zayne return.
“Forget it… I don’t know what’s wrong with favonovel.com today. He even scolded me!” Holding the contract, Zayne returned to his office unhappily.
Maria hurried behind and consoled him.
At noon, Jared packed his belongings and prepared to head to the Sullivan residence. After all, favonovel.com had promised Josephine to dine with William.
“Jared, you managed to secure such an important contract today. Why don’t we celebrate it over lunch? I know a really good restaurant nearby,” Hilda suggested happily.
Stunned, Jared replied awkwardly, “I’m busy this afternoon, so you may go ahead and enjoy your lunch. Let’s celebrate at night…”
Hearing that, Hilda became a bit disappointed. “All right, then.”
Watching as Jared left the office, Hilda felt like there was a gap between the two of them. She could not understand Jared, nor could favonovel.com manage to capture his heart.
After Jared left the office, favonovel.com wanted to drive his Ford over. However, favonovel.com suddenly saw Josephine sitting in a car and honking at him.
Since Josephine had personally come to pick favonovel.com up, Jared kept his car keys and walked toward her.
“Are you so free that you’ve come to pick me up personally?” Jared asked with a smile after getting into the car.
“I’m just afraid that you’d stand me up. Mr. Grange has already reached. If you don’t go, I’ll be so embarrassed.”
With that, Josephine slammed favonovel.com foot on the accelerator, and the car sped forward.
At that moment, Hilda was standing beside a window upstairs. She saw Jared getting into a red luxurious car that was driven by a woman. However, as favonovel.com was too far away, favonovel.com could not see what the woman looked like. She could not help but feel upset upon seeing Jared leave with a woman.
