Chapter 936 The Managing Director of Sawyer Group
The team frowned slightly upon seeing so, but neither of them said anything in the end. A few minutes later, footsteps could be heard coming from the other side of the door, and Eunice hurriedly fixed her hair while gazing expectantly in that direction.
Soon, the door opened, and Taylor entered with his assistant. “Sorry to keep you guys waiting,” he greeted the team with a professional smile.
The team was stumped for a moment before returning the greeting enthusiastically despite not knowing who they were dealing with.
Only Eunice was still reeling in bewilderment as her smile stiffened. “Who are you?” she questioned with a frown, displeased.
Taylor was taken aback for a second by the beauty before his eyes, and he introduced himself, not really minding her tone. “Cheverell. I’m the managing director of this company.”
But lo and behold, Eunice flew into a rage the next second. “I don’t care who you are. The person we’re meeting is supposed to be President Sawyer. Tell him to come and see us.”
Forget that she had deliberately come for Nicholas; she felt undervalued when the man sent a random guy to dismiss them.
Taylor’s countenance turned somewhat awful in turn. It was his first time being so disrespected after becoming a managing director.
The team also turned slightly grim as displeasure laced their eyes.
However, because of who Eunice was, not only could they not say anything, they even had to pick up after her.
As upset as the team leader was with Eunice, he could only go up to Taylor and apologize, “I’m really sorry, Mr. Cheverell. This is our CEO’s daughter, Miss Eunice. We have been liaising with President Sawyer all this while, so she might be a bit confused with you here today.”
As shrewd as Taylor was, he naturally got the gist of it at once. This woman has clearly come for the president.
A hint of contempt flashed across his eyes at that, and he said indifferently, “Is that so? President Sawyer has left this project wholly in my hands, though.”
His words stumped Eunice, for she hadn’t expected this from Nicholas.
Ultimately, she had no choice but to put up with it. She sat quietly aside while listening to everyone else discuss the details of their collaboration.
Later, she left the building in a seething rage with the team.
Meanwhile, Taylor went to Nicholas’ office after seeing Eunice and the others off, and he stood hesitantly on the spot after reporting the project’s progress.
“Yes?” Nicholas asked with a quirked brow upon noticing his abnormality.
“Well, from what I can tell, our collaborator seems to be more inclined to work with you, President.” At that, he related what happened earlier concisely.
Nicholas smirked disdainfully after hearing so, for he had obviously expected that from Eunice. “No need to bother yourself with her.”
Taylor nodded in acknowledgment and returned to his work after that.
Just then, Nicholas’ phone, which he had placed on the desk, rang. It was a video call from Tessa. “What’s up?”
“Nothing much. I’m just calling to let you know that you don’t have to come so early. I’ll be practicing for a few more hours tonight,” Tessa said briefly.
“Got it.” He nodded. “I’ll go over later. Don’t wear yourself out either.”
Tessa beamed, seeing how concerned he was. “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”
The two chatted for a while longer before Tessa returned to her practice.
“It’s nearing lunch. Don’t forget to eat, alright? I will go over and check on you when I have the time,” she admonished before hanging up.
Nicholas burst into a chuckle in response, happy about her enjoin. “Be my guest.”
He looked at her with twinkling eyes and a charming smile, leaving her in somewhat of a trance until a deep, magnetic voice traveled to her ears. “Is your husband good-looking, hmm?”
Tessa met his teasing gaze upon coming to herself, and she blushed, glaring at him with feigned anger. “I’m hanging up now. I have to go back to practice.”
