“Tsk, tsk, tsk! There are only three sets of this chess set in the entire world! I can’t believe one of them belongs to Boss!”
“I-Is this sandalwood? The extremely valuable sandalwood?!”
“Boss, this is a set of acupuncture needles sent by the director of the Academy of Medicine of Markovia! They’re completely made out of jade!”
The four of them were like little children who had never been exposed to the world. Every single present dazzled their eyes. Even the cheapest gifts were worth millions, and the more expensive ones were worth billions. Although they knew their boss was amazing, they were shocked to learn that she was acquainted with so many bigshots. Moreover, her relationship with those bigshots seemed to be rather good.
“This necklace is gorgeous!” Janet played with the ice jade necklace in her hand.
On the other side of the phone, Lara was grinning widely. “I knew you’d love it.”
“Where did you get it?” Janet smiled slightly, but her tone remained as indifferent as ever.
“I found it by chance!” Lara smilingly replied.
Although she loved it too, she didn’t feel that it was a big deal to give it to Janet. Besides, all the bigshots of Markovia were sending Janet gifts too. She couldn’t lose to them—she had to bring out something on par with them at the very least.
Janet smiled until her eyes were crescents. “Thanks!”
“It’s nothing. I hope you like it!”
Dexter eyed the ice jade necklace intently and chuckled in anticipation. “Boss, can I see that please?” He was never interested in such things. However, from the way she talked about it, it seemed like it was very rare. Therefore, he wanted to take a good look at it.
“Boss, I want to have a look too!” Tyler echoed enthusiastically.
“After Tyler has a look, I want to see it too!” Luke chimed in, unwilling to be left out.
Janet fell silent for a moment. “In your dreams!” She glanced at them speechlessly. I hope these clumsy buffoons don’t accidentally crush anything.
“Okay…” The men glanced at Janet unhappily.
“By the way, return all the other presents except for the one Lara gave me!” Janet instructed faintly. She did not wish to owe anybody anything. “Or, send back something of equal value.”
The Beasts were so shocked that they couldn’t react. Boss is so boring. These presents were so valuable that they were reluctant to return them.
…….
The group of bigshots at Markovia gathered together. Then, the national chess master said, “What’s going on? Does Miss Janet think that our gifts were too cheap?”
The director of the Academy of Medicine said, “What do you mean? Are you saying that girl isn’t happy with this set of jade needles?”
The leaders of Markovia were rendered speechless.
At Markovia, the Davis Corporation received notice from the Lowry Family Conglomerate, and they immediately began preparing for it. In order to prevent the Lowry Family Conglomerate from changing their minds, Magnus packed up his stuff and rushed to Sandfort City overnight.
Esme’s eyes flickered. “Magnus, remember to spend some time with our daughter when you’re at Sandfort City! Don’t forget to remind her to practice her piano too!”
Magnus frowned. “Okay. Watch the house; I’ll be back soon!”
“Okay. If you get the chance, try to introduce our daughter to the president of Lowry Family Conglomerate.” Esme had already inquired about the heir of the Lowry Family Conglomerate. He was supposedly wealthy, powerful, and influential. If they could attach themselves to such a powerhouse, they could rest easy without any worries for the future.
“Of course, I won’t fall behind! Take good care of yourself.” Magnus smiled. If my daughter, Rebecca, can get together with the heir of the Lowry Family Conglomerate, what else would I need to worry about? If that happens, many companies will probably rush to cooperate with me. As the thought crossed his mind, he smiled so widely that his eyes became crescents and the meat on his face twitched.
……
Inside the Lowry Residence, Mason returned home from the company and saw the lady lying on the sofa. Raising his brows, he walked over. “Babe.”
“Yeah?” Janet looked up and glanced at the man. Then, she returned her gaze to her tablet.
As Mason rubbed his cheek affectionately against her face, his Adam’s apple shook slightly. “Have you had dinner?”
“Let’s go for dinner!” At that moment, Janet came back to her senses. She realized that she had yet to eat. She had been sitting on the sofa the whole time, waiting for him to come back.
