Chapter 217 Ate apples and figs

Later that evening, when Manager Linda walked out of the company, she saw that Secretary Gerald was standing at the door of the building.

'A lot of things happened today. Am I hallucinating?' Manager Linda thought. She checked repeatedly to confirm if what she saw was correct, after she confirmed Secretary Gerald's presence, the first idea that appeared in Manager Linda's mind was to escape.

When Gerald saw that Linda turned to avoid him, he went forward to stop her. "Miss Linda, don't you want to see me?

Linda silently scolded herself before she slowly turned to face him. She forced a smile and looked at Secretary Gerald with calm eyes. "You misunderstood. I suddenly remembered that I had left something in my office and I wanted to go back and get it."

Secretary Gerald understood that she was lying just to save herself from being embarrassed that is why he subtly changed the subject. "I'd like to invite you for dinner. I don't know if you would grant me this favor but I am hoping you would."

Manager Linda refused the offer. "I'm sorry but I'm not free."

She turned and tried to leave from his line of sight at once but a masculine voice was heard from behind. "What if I say that I could help you through this?"

She froze on the spot, Manager Linda turned and said with an expression of disbelief. "Is that true?"

"Would you like to try?"

Secretary Gerald's confident smile made Manager Linda tremble and she seemed to lost her wits. She obediently followed him and they rode the bus.

At the same time, Alex was on day off. Elly, who was sitting on the sofa, hurriedly got up and asked him anxiously. "How about my best friend? What did the boss of Swiss Entertainment Company said?"

Alex knew Elly was in a hurry, so he answered unabashedly. "Linda would be suspended until the rumors were completely dismissed. The investors, because of marriage and family chaos, push up the public opinion which led to more and more trouble."

"This will greatly affect her career, just as if she was fired, the future of that person will be affected by the stain on her good name."

"What should she do? Didn't the public department of Swiss Entertainment took any measures?"

Alex took her hand and gently stroked it. "In order to save the artist, the Swiss Entertainment public relations department will certainly take measures to turn the situation around. But." Alex smiled mysteriously and his voice was a little strange. "However, I think Gerald is the key to eliminating this risk." Alex added.

It was hard for Elly to understand. Watching her confused face made the smile in Alex' mouth wider.

Linda was the kind of person who would seize every opportunity quickly.

In the restaurant, Linda was not in the mood to eat. She watched as Gerald ate leisurely across her, she urged anxiously. "Are you still in the mood to eat? Speak up!"

"After this. My brain often goes out of power when I am hungry."

Linda was not happy but she was still dependent on him so she had no choice but to eat with him.

Gerald looked at her with her mouth wide open, as if these rumors had no great impact on her life, he unconsciously jumped out of his mind. "Actually, I think you're cute."

Linda almost vomited a mouthful of rice and frowned with dissatisfaction. "Did you hit your head today?"

Secretary Gerald laughed without saying a word and quietly watched her finish eating.

After dinner, Linda was unbearable and restless. "What's your plan?"

"I'm responsible for what happened last night."

The answer did not match her question. Her face flushed, she tried to cover up shame with anger, "Ridicule! I'm not here to talk to you about this."

Linda remembered what happened last night, her face became redder and hotter and her voice warned in a low voice. "Nothing happened last night. I don't need you to be responsible. I forbid you to bring it up again."

"What happened last night can remove the risk on your reputation as well as on your artists."

"What do you mean?" Linda looked at the cunning person in front of her, full of precautions.

"I'm the one who entered the hotel with you in the photo. I'm your boyfriend. Investors are just business partners."

Gerald's words beat the scandal surrounding her and her brain turned her thoughts. She understood that trouble would be freed. But.

Linda stared at Gerald suspiciously. She was watching his face closely to check if he was lying. "Why are you helping me? What's your motive?"

Secretary Gerald made no secret and called a spade a spade. "No matter what you think, I am responsible for you."

"You shut up!"

Whether Linda was willing or not, she cannot let Dimitri's reputation be destroyed. The next day, Gerald voluntarily admitted that he had rented a hotel room and revealed his current relationship with Linda.

Gerald, the secretary of Alex, was well matched with the first manager of the entertainment company.

When Elly heard the news, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned to nag Alex. "Why didn't you tell me about it earlier?"

"You would deny that. Well, now that the matter is settled, why should I tell you to make you worried?"

A simple word is enough to warm Elly's heart. Alex always did a lot of things for her silently, but he seldom let her know about it.

Alex looked at her happy smiling face. He tried to look away from her beautiful pink lips and he said another important thing. "Mom told Dad about you after returning, she wants us to go over their house after a few days. They want to see their grandson."

"Dad, how are you these days?" Elly was not very impressed with her father-in-law.

"Let's go there to play. My health will be better."

After she listened to his hint, she had no reason to refuse and nodded yes. "OK, I'll arrange the schedule."

The mission was well organized but the day before flying abroad, Hargreaves Company was put in great danger.

Hargreaves Company had bid for a piece of land, but that land was offered a higher price at the last minute by another company. All the money has been invested in the project, and the plan after getting the prepared land, just waiting for deployment, has now slowed down.

He hurriedly canceled the flight, but the later losses were even more serious. Many of the partners that have been working with them for a long time, as well as some contracts that was already signed, have been snatched by the Torch Group at the same time. It was obvious that the rival company was already prepared in dealing a heavy blow to Hargreaves' Company.

The bad news about the company surfaced, the stock price fell, and the company was officially at major risk.

Alex and the senior management insisted that they maintain the company, Brandon persuaded him to compromise and sell some shares in the company. They needed to do this in order to save the group from this difficult period.

ESMAEZC,' situation really would not be able to stand a coherent blow. The Torch Company was very strong in finance and strength, and they are absolutely no match for them. They had to take a step back and play steadily.

"What if I don't sell my shares?" Alex smiled as if he expected Brandon to say this a long time ago.

He was afraid that there will be more tricks from the Torch Group, but the secret threats were sufficient to prove Brandon's position and attitude.

Alex laid down on a high-grade leather chair and looked at Brandon with his arms across his chest and had him memorize it coldly.

"Do you think I look so scary? Am I wrong?" He asked a question.

Alex' tone was sharp with mockery. "I'm just watching the people who eat apple trees and fig trees. What are you afraid of?"

Brandon's face became dark, "What do you mean? You're insulting me."
