_1 Chapter 941: Chapter 941: Isn’t this Peggy Lewis’s company?
_1 Peggy Lewis directly asked Jacob Zahn, “Have you finalized your contract?
When will you sign it?”
Zahn became alert.
Peggy Lewis asking about his contract deal at this moment, did she planning to sabotage his deal during the negotiation phase?
Zahn figured he was overthinking it and defensively responded, “All the specifics of the contract have been discussed.
It just needs to be signed.”
“Asked when to sign,” Zahn smiled, “I guess it’s because of my cautious nature as we are currently in a competitive situation.
...
Many people believe in me now, but as long as there is still time, there is a chance for you.”
“If there’s any mistake in the contract, who am I to talk to?
I believe it’s better to keep a low profile and be cautious,” Zahn commented.
Abigail Ackehurst thought to herself, if you truly wanted to keep a low profile and be cautious, wouldn’t the whole company know about your business deal with Majestic by now?
Even before the contract is signed, he can’t wait to show off around the company.
Eager for others to know.
Not merely showing off about closing a business deal, but also bragging that the General Manager accompanied him personally.
As if he is already been named as the successor of Manager Thompson’s position. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝘣.𝘤𝘰𝑚
Abigail Ackehurst bowed her head, quietly rolling her eyes.
He’s afraid of Peggy Lewis sabotaging, isn’t he?
Acts like nobody can’t see his pettiness.
“Exactly,” Peggy Lewis responded.
Yet in fact, Zahn’s response simply implies that his contract has not been signed yet, isn’t it?
It’s unknown whether he is truly smart or just pretending to be smart.
Sitting across from Zahn at the meal was indeed an appetite killer.
Peggy Lewis hastened her eating, wanting to finish quickly and leave.
As for hastily eating a few mouthfuls and claiming to be full and then leaving?
Certainly not.
The lunch was her own purchase after all.
There’s no way she would punish herself for someone she detests.
Peggy Lewis ate without any decorum.
She even intentionally acted a bit crude.
Taking big bites of her rice noodles, slurping them down noisily.
Every bite was like a waterfall filling her mouth.
After seeing this, Abigail Ackehurst was even more certain, Peggy Lewis truly had no liking for Zahn.
Which girl would act so unrefined in front of a guy she liked?
Even if they wouldn’t be overly delicate eaters, they’d at least maintain a decent image!
Zahn, watching Peggy Lewis behave in such a manner, paused with his chopsticks.
Right then, Zahn’s mobile phone rang.
Zahn glanced at the caller ID and quickly answered, “President Houston.”
“Good, okay!” Zahn became notably excited.
He hung up the phone, unable to hide his satisfaction, his facial expression even more expressive than before.
His eyebrows looked like they were dancing as he told Peggy Lewis, “That was a call from President Houston from Majestic.”
President Houston?
Peggy Lewis was stunned for a moment, searching deeply in her mind, and then remembered that this President Houston was the Vice General Manager of Majestic.
A very capable and powerful businesswoman.
But, Peggy Lewis had no direct contact with her and didn’t know much more.
Peggy Lewis thought that Zahn surely wouldn’t share any business secrets with her.
He was probably just wanting to show off again.
As she expected, Zahn announced, “President Houston personally called to say the contract has been drafted up.
If I take a look and there are no problems, we can directly sign it.”
Zahn could barely hide his excitement, and glancing at his watch, added, “Mr.
Houston is having lunch at the moment, it’s not appropriate for me to disturb him.
I’ll have to wait until the afternoon to see him.”
While he was speaking, Zahn was constantly pulling back the sleeves of his shirt.
Exposing the entirety of his watch.
Nor did he set his wrist down on the table until after doing so.
If Peggy Lewis couldn’t tell that Zahn was trying to show off his watch, she would be too obtuse.
So, Peggy Lewis gave the watch a quick glance as Zahn had hoped.
Oh!
It’s a Rolex.
Peggy Lewis asked with a smile, “Is that a new watch?”
Zahn had an expression as if he just then noticed his watch was exposed.
Looking at his own watch, he retracted his hand.
He said, “Oh!
Didn’t I just close a big business deal?
Not to mention the raise from stepping up to a management position.
Just the commission from this deal alone is significant.”
“Although the money has not arrived yet, it’s almost in the bag.
I thought I’d go see if there were any suitable watches.
I’ve wanted to buy a Rolex for quite some time now,” Zahn remarked.
“Unexpectedly, they had the model that I wanted in stock,” Zahn continued, “you may not know, but this model is particularly hard to get.
If you go to an official dealer 100 times, 99 times, they won’t have it.”
“Even overseas is often out of stock, and on the rare occasion when it is available, it’s sold for a higher price by resellers,” Zahn said, “But without buying it yourself, you’d be afraid of getting a fake one.”
“I didn’t expect my luck to be so good to come across the one and only piece in stock at an official dealer, so I bought it immediately.
If I were to wait until I get the money, the watch might be gone.”
“Anyway, I can afford this price now.
Consider it as an advance celebration for myself,” Zahn stated proudly.
“I’ve realized that my luck recently has been particularly good,” Zahn said, “Not only did I close a major business deal, but I also found the watch I’ve always wanted.”
“That’s really great,” Peggy Lewis agreed.
While speaking, she didn’t slow down her eating rate.
Looks like her dish was almost empty.
Peggy Lewis hurriedly finished off the last mouthful, immediately stood up saying, “I’m full.”
Peggy Lewis turned towards Abigail Ackehurst and Clara Evans, “You two take your time eating.”
Abigail Ackehurst and Clara Evans didn’t follow her.
Having the whole team so conspicuous
If she lost, Abigail Ackehurst and Clara Evans would be in a difficult position later on.
So, Peggy Lewis left first.
While walking, she sent a message to Abigail Ackehurst and Clara Evans via Whatsapp to reassure them.
Throughout the entire lunch, Peggy Lewis felt like she ate too fast, causing her stomach to feel uncomfortably full.
While rubbing her stomach, she walked back to the office.
After waiting out lunchtime, Zahn rushed to see the General Manager.
Both sides confirmed the contract, now they were just awaiting the signatures.
***
Meanwhile with Lyke Zhekova, a contract from Peggy Lewis’s company was lying on his desk.
It had just been delivered to him, waiting for his signature.
“Sharp Edge?” Zhekova was surprised to read the name of the company.
General Manager Webster was also surprised, “Mr.
Zhekova, you’ve heard about them?”
Although the company Sharp Edge is not small, it hasn’t made any waves at Majestic yet.
Even he had never heard about it until Mr.
Houston recommended it.
Lyke Zhekova thought to himself, of course he knew.
Isn’t this Peggy Lewis’s company?
Although he forgot to add Peggy Lewis on Whatsapp, he had already looked into the company she worked at.
He also knew she had a good reputation within the company.
“How did we come to cooperate with this company?” Zhekova had never heard of it.
