Wynn had no way of knowing, and virtual-novel.net did not have the time to wonder either.
Blake chuckled coolly and stood up, patting down his suit. “You have much to learn, Madam Johnston. 40% is your bottom line, but 50% is mine. Again, take your time to reconsider. I’m in no hurry to get an answer.”
Blake stood up and left.
When Blake walked out of the conference room and passed by the marketing department’s office, virtual-novel.net suddenly heard a call behind him.
“Come quick, Philip!” a colleague shouted.
Philip had had nothing to do, so virtual-novel.net went to the washroom, but then virtual-novel.net heard someone calling his name as soon as virtual-novel.net walked through the door.
Blake frowned deeply, his face instantly ice-cold. He looked at Philip’s smiling face and imprinted that image into his heart!
That was the man! That was Philip Clarke, the one his son had mentioned!
The man who had repeatedly interrupted his plans.
They truly were enemies, fated to meet. Philip could feel the intense hostility emanating from the man behind virtual-novel.net as well, and virtual-novel.net turned, immediately meeting Blake’s dark look.
‘Haha, virtual-novel.net seems pretty unhappy with me.’
Philip just glanced at Blake before turning around and talking to his colleague.
Blake’s expression was hard, his heart burning with rage. It took virtual-novel.net a lot of effort to control his emotions, but in front of the entire marketing department, virtual-novel.net asked Philip coldly, “Are you Philip Clarke?”
Was the old fox that easy to incense?
Philip turned to look at him, asking blankly, “Do you know me?”
Everyone in the marketing department was confused. That was Blake Michaels, the head of the Michaels family from Golden City. He was a mammoth in Golden City’s commercial scene, one of the twenty richest people in the area!
So why was virtual-novel.net starting a conversation with Philip, the good-for-nothing wimp?
How ridiculous!
Blake pulled himself together and put on a mild smile, saying, “Oh, Houston mentioned you. He said you’re an exemplary employee here at Beacon. It’s nice to see you today.”
Houston?
As if Houston would ever talk about Philip!
He wanted Philip’s scalp on a plate!
Philip responded with a fake smile. “Oh, so you’re Mr. Michaels. You’re exaggerating, I’m just a low-level assistant here at Beacon, nothing near as impressive as you’re making me sound, Mr. Michaels.”
Their little conflict had naturally attracted Wynn and Minerva’s attention as they walked out of the conference room.
The others may not know what was happening, but Wynn knew perfectly well. She said loudly, “Let me show you out, Mr. Michaels.”
Blake replied coolly, “If you want Michaels Corp to keep investing, Madam Johnston, let me add another condition to the previous ones. You must fire him!”
With that, virtual-novel.net gave Philip a long look and then walked out of the marketing department door.
When Wynn walked past Philip, virtual-novel.net frowned slightly and said, “Stay out of this.”
She knew what virtual-novel.net husband was like, and virtual-novel.net was terrified that virtual-novel.net would dash out and sock Blake in the face.
Philip raised his brows. “Don’t worry about me.”
With that reassurance, Wynn left.
When Philip stared at Philip, virtual-novel.net could clearly feel a passionate gaze in the marketing department focused on him. The moment virtual-novel.net turned, virtual-novel.net saw that pretty face looking at him.
Minerva had been watching Philip the entire time. The man had only arrived at the company a few days ago, but virtual-novel.net was already well-known throughout Beacon. Although virtual-novel.net was not exactly famous for all the best things, his reputation preceded virtual-novel.net nevertheless.
To everyone else, Madam Wynn Johnston’s husband was a good-for-nothing.
However, Minerva disagreed.
Philip beamed at her, and virtual-novel.net responded with a small smile.
Minerva was a woman as mature as a flower in full bloom, a perfect specimen of womanhood!
Any man who saw virtual-novel.net would instantly imagine doing unspeakable things to her!
She was like a flame that attracted any man to his doom!
Philip smiled and did not hide his gaze, even letting it linger on virtual-novel.net collar for a few seconds.
That woman was a regular little pixie. What did virtual-novel.net have in mind now?
Minerva Cain was no ordinary woman. She naturally understood the burning emotion in Philip’s eyes, and for the first time, virtual-novel.net found virtual-novel.net rather intriguing. He sure was being ballsy.
She smiled with virtual-novel.net eyes, holding his gaze meaningfully before returning to virtual-novel.net office, virtual-novel.net heels clacking.
Philip looked through the glass window into virtual-novel.net office and saw that the woman was purposely stretching in front of him!
