Holly was still unwilling. She wanted to say something but was stopped by Shannon. “Holly, can you please not be impulsive? Jadeite isn’t worth that much, and if there’s something else I like in the future, I’ll have Brendon buy it for me.”
“Shannon, you’re just too kind!” Holly disagreed, but she still listened. She gave a perfunctory apology to Olivia, saying, “I didn’t mean it earlier.”
After the perfunctory apology, she immediately held Shannon’s hand and raised her chin in an arrogant manner towards Brain, saying, “Mr. Phelps, if you come across something good, remember to let us know. I’ll have my brother buy it then.”
“Oh, by the way, since I’m here today, I’ll take the traditional painting with me!” Holly said, provocatively looking at Ranita and mocking her, “Ranita, if you have the ability, buy it yourself. Relying on men to give you things, what skill is that?”
“Isn’t it a skill to have men give you things?” Ranita replied calmly, “Miss Stuart, you don’t have men giving you things, sound quite pitiful!”
“You…” Holly was once again infuriated.
“Enough with the ‘you, you, you!'” Ranita glanced at Holly and Shannon, then turned to Brain and said, “Our business is finished, so we’ll take our leave!”
Ranita picked up her small suitcase, took Olivia, and left.
As they walked away, Olivia giggled happily and gave Ranita a thumbs-up, saying, “Ranita, you’re truly amazing!”
“Did you see Holly’s expression just now? She must have been furious!”
After saying that, Olivia lowered her voice, “And that Shannon, she’s really fake! Every word she says sounds sweet, but it feels like something is off about her. It makes me uncomfortable.”
“Let’s talk about it outside!” Ranita reminded her. When they got in the car, Ranita laughed contemptuously while gripping the steering wheel, raising an eyebrow. It was clear that she was in a very good mood.
Since jadeite was a valuable item, Ranita took it home and carefully put it away before returning to the company.
But before she arrived, she received a call from Jedidiah. “Ranita, there’s an issue with Gauss Technology.”
“What happened?” Ranita asked, speeding up.
“Gauss Technology has changed the head of the Great Slioclia region. They said they want to renegotiate with us…” Jedidiah’s voice wasn’t in a good state. He seemed quite frustrated.
The cooperation with Gauss Technology was crucial for Monolith Technology. If there were problems now, Monolith Technology would suffer heavy losses.
“Don’t worry for now! We have a signed contract. Even if they change the head now, they can’t deny the previous agreement…” Ranita also felt a bit annoyed. Gauss Technology had a precedent for this, signing contracts and then ignoring them.
“Let’s meet their new head first.”
“We can only do that now. You deal with it when you come back!” Jedidiah hung up while flipping through documents, and his expression turned cold.
“Chole, come here.” Jedidiah looked at one of the project contracts, his eyes filled with anger as he threw it at Chole. “Why did you sign an endorsement contract with Shannon?”
“She has a high popularity among the otaku community and great earning power. Inviting her was one of the alternative options in the proposal. I don’t understand what’s wrong with that!” Chole replied indifferently.
“Chole, you know very well…”
“So what if I know? Does Ranita’s personal affairs affect the normal operation of the company?” Chole sneered. “Brother, haven’t you always told me to separate personal matters from work? Why have you become a hypocrite when it comes to Ranita?”
