Chapter 182 Secret phone

The manager changed his mind hesitantly. "Tell him I will call him myself. You leave!"

As if they have sympathized, the lower class bowed their heads and walked out of the office. Alex shook his head sadly and did not even bother to read the textbook.

Brandon took over Alex's project "temptation", so he could understand his mind and determine his loyalty.

Alex believed that Brandon was blindly hostile and could harm Mr. Geno, but he would not harm his interests, and he was still thinking about his friend's feelings. But in fact, he had begun to deteriorate, and the interests of the company have been ignored.

He called Brandon and asked him to get back to the office, but there was no answer.

Brandon was in a nearby city, but when he saw Alex calling his cell phone, he deliberately did not answer.

"You are so ignorant! I thought you would have answered after two or three calls. I did not expect the tenth call. You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

Brandon called the restaurant waiter over, tipped him a large sum of money, gave him a few words of advice, and then left

The phone was connected, and before Alex spoke, a polite voice said. "Hello there, the owner of this phone left it in our store. We are waiting for him to return his phone."

"If he comes back, please call this number right away." Alex was skeptical, made a request, and then hung up the phone.

"Your cell phone, sir." The waiter respectfully returned the phone. Brandon thanked him, and he was finally relieved.

His eyes narrowed, his pupils turned, and he pressed a familiar sequence.

"I think he's starting to suspect me. We should implement the plan earlier than expected. There are not many opportunities." McCormick said.

"Be quiet for a while and give orders. Do not prolong his patience. Turn around, his trust is more important."

"Okay, I get it." In the eyes of Brandon, he was strict.

Two days later, when Alex was worried that Brandon would not arrive, he planned to look for him in person, when he suddenly appeared at the company.

"Splendid! Brandon is back. He is waiting in your office now." As soon as Alex left the conference room, the secretary immediately reported what had happened.

The material on hand was printed in the secretary's mind, and Mu Yingjie strode to the chairman's office without saying a word.

The door opened and Alex saw Brandon standing calmly inside, he lowered his shoulders and breathed a sigh of relief. "I have made a lot of phone calls. Why didn't you answer the phone?"

"There are plenty of things that just cannot be solved on the phone." Brandon explained calmly. "I have many ideas and strategies, but I know we just cannot take the risk. So, I gave up my stubbornness and did everything according to your arrangement. The contract and the project are going smoothly. Can you rest assured?"

Brandon's answer surprised him, and the shock in his heart was terribly strong. This information had not been reported by his subordinates, they needed to check it again.

But in the final analysis, Brandon's words represented "regret" and "hatred", Did he not betray you completely?

The whole plan was to use the bait to expose Brandon's conspiracy, so you would not turn things down. You already have an idea in mind, and now is not the time.

"I am glad you are here just in time to come to the reception with me tonight. Alex would change the subject."

Brandon hesitated. "Is it an appropriate time for me to go with you? I heard that this reception is with the general manager or the president of the company. I am only a nominal vice president and a project manager, so it is not suitable for me to be here."

Alex looked at him from top to bottom. He felt that something was wrong when he returned. His character was quiet and not competitive.

It was observed that Brandon was terribly upset but pretended to laugh timidly. "What on earth are you doing, is something wrong?"

Nothing is wrong. Brandon kept his thoughts to himself When Alex slapped him on the shoulder and said helpfully. "Do not worry there is nothing to fear. Get ready for we will go together tonight."

The reception was arranged in the most luxurious hotel in the city. Both Alex and Brandon wore formal dressing and were very dignified.

With a handsome appearance and a good reputation among young businessmen, both Alex and Brandon had attracted a lot of attention, among which were many old fox presidents who admired young talents very much.

Chairman Carter of the Carter Wholesale Store deliberately approached Alex with a wine glass.

"Mr. Hargreaves, I am greatly astonished to see you here today!"

Hearing Chairman Carter's praise, a nearly 60-year-old fox who had been rolling in the mall for more than 40 years. Alex said with humility.

"You are of great value to me, I am only a descendant for future generations, but I also want to learn more from my elders, Chairman Carter, you can call me Alex."

Chairman Carter smiled happily when he saw that Alex was polite. "Alex, I heard you have a girlfriend, do you?"

Without much thought on what was asked and because he knew what the question meant, he answered without embarrassment. "Yes, but I am married."

His old beard was dead. Brandon ran uncontrollably and did not allow Alex to escape the introduction of Chairman Carter's family grafting.

Chairman Carter was disappointed at the news about Alex being married, but his expression was much more relaxed when he heard the news of his ex-wife's death. There would be no trouble with the death of an ex-wife, which proved that the young man was now a bachelor.

Chairman Carter seized the opportunity quickly, "My niece is as old as you. She had just returned from studying abroad. She would be incredibly happy if she could learn from talented young men like you."

Alex's first reaction to the proposal was his unmistakably a refusal. "Chairman Carter, I have been dreadfully busy with my work lately, and I am afraid I will not have time for Miss Carter."

"What?! Are you afraid my niece is not good enough for you? What do you have against her?" Chairman Carter said with a dark face and a loud voice.

"Chairman Carter, of course, I didn't mean that."

Before the end of Alex's explanation, Brandon spoke to him with a smile. "President Carter said so, and our General Manager Alex would certainly take good care of your niece Miss Carter. We do not need to lose peace because of misunderstandings."

Chairman Carter was satisfied with Brandon's reasonable attitude. He knew where to stand and said smartly. "Good luck to you! I believe there would be a pleasant meeting next time. Please help yourself to whatever you need. I need to say hello to some of my old friends."

When rituals were needed, Alex always knew the main points and would never lose his temper. He would no longer stare at the back of Chairman Carter and throw a cold look at Brandon. What kind of game was he playing?

"You are smart. You knew just what I wanted. Miss Carter's evaluation of education and identity is stronger than that of Elly's. All I wish you is good. Do not be blind when choosing your girlfriend."

"When did you start to interfere in my own affairs?"

"Mr. I-don't-want-anyone-to-interfere-in-my-own-affairs, we are friends. I just wish you good that is all."

"Thanks for your kindness. But I really do not need it!" The cold voice and Alex's keen eyes made the atmosphere between the two people tense. Both men were angry, and no one dared to compromise.

At this time, many spectators watched keenly at the venue.. Alex honestly did not care, but the famous names of Richter Pictures the television company ringed in his ear which made him look at the door unwillingly then he immediately froze.

Someone walked beside Elly, the boss of a famous domestic entertainment company.

He was not amazed at her beauty tonight, but rather surprised at her arrival at the party.

"Linda Peart said you worked in the public relations department is that correct? When will the public relations department come to the reception?"

When Elly saw Alex, she became disgusted, but then she also saw Brandon standing beside him, her eyes became cold, and she became even more disgusted.

Elly did not come to say hello to Alex, she indicated before that she had nothing to do with him. She followed in her boss's footsteps and said hello everywhere.

However, Jacob Barracks knew that she was Alex's girlfriend, and he also wanted to have a relationship with this talented young manager.

Elly could not help following her boss over to Alex.

Alex immediately started to greet everyone politely. "It's just splendid to see you here tonight." As soon as he said that his eyes glanced instinctively at Elly

Jacob was not fooled by his small move. He pushed Elly directly in front of him.
