Chapter 371 Impulsive

In other words, BK Group organized this conference and invited you so that all the big corporations could be on

friendly terms with each other and have good working relationships to expand future partnership opportunities and

means.

If you keep arguing here, aren’t you disrespecting BK Group? Most of the time, everyone would act politely as part

of business etiquette. But what happened today didn’t have a happy ending.

Just as Mr. Brady was about to instruct his staff to continue with the conference, Hugo suddenly said, “Why don’t we

stop here for the morning session? I have an appointment.”

Edgar’s expression darkened immediately. “We’re not done with the discussion. Where are you going, Mr. Mason?”

Hugo smiled darkly. “This is a personal matter. I can’t tell you, Mr. Royden, but I believe that you will find out soon

enough.”

Hugo looked at Mr. Brady after that.

The staff members at the side went up and spoke to him.

Mr. Brady nodded. “Alright. Everyone is tired. Let’s end the morning session here.”

After that, a staff member made announcements. “Please head to the restaurant for lunch. Other programs will be

conducted in the afternoon.”

It was good to alleviate the tension between the two presidents.

Mr. Brady looked at Hugo’s figure. “I heard that Mr. Mason has a friend here?”

The staff members shook their heads. “We haven’t heard of such a thing.”

Hugo made his way through the crowd and came to Jean. “Let’s go, Ms. Eyer.”

His tone was pleasant, and there was the warmest of smiles on his face. It was very different from his usual calm

and steady demeanor. That gentleman-like action alone mesmerized the girls around him.

Rachel, who was standing behind Jean, was one of the girls closest to him. She could practically feel the charisma

oozing out from Hugo.

It was unstoppable!

Rachel felt her heart rate increase, even if he hadn’t been speaking to her.

Therefore, everyone’s gaze was focused on Jean as they waited for her answer.

“Alright. Let’s go.”

Both of them left side by side. The moment they walked out of the door, Miles looked at his boss. “Are we going to

the restaurant, Mr. Royden?”

The man turned his head sideways. “Yes.”

He walked out. The parking lot was right outside the restaurant on the first floor.

Jean got into the car with Hugo and his daughter, and they set out happily.

Edgar clenched his teeth. His rage had flushed away all his rationality. “Give me your phone, Miles.”

Miles was startled at first, but he obediently passed his cell phone over.

Edgar opened the chat with Jean and typed a message with Miles’ tone of voice. ‘Ms. Eyer, if you’re free at night

after the program ends, can we talk about a follow-up partnership?’

Even if the two companies were rivals, they could work together.

As things stood, Hugo’s company was also Eyer Group’s competitor, so why did they…

Jean replied quickly.

“Please help me thank Mr. Royden for his kindness, but there’s no need.”

Miles watched Edgar’s expression darken in front of him.

They were in public, and Miles was worried that Edgar would cause a scene, so he walked forward and said in a low

voice, “Mr. Royden, I’m sure that there will still be opportunities to work with Eyer Group in the future.”

He could understand full well his boss’ intentions, but if the other party wasn’t willing to accept it, it couldn’t be

forced.

“Miles, what do you think is the problem?” Edgar suddenly turned his head and asked. He got up and walked to the

elevator. “Never mind.”

Miles glanced in the direction of the parking lot as he shook his head and sighed.

The next few days would be hard to endure.

The restaurant that Hugo chose was some distance from the hotel. It was a family restaurant with a children’s

playground, and the bosses were a local couple. They were known for their authentic steaks.

They were enthusiastically ushered to a round table by the window once they stepped in.

They had even prepared dessert for Ellie.

She clapped in delight. She talked to Jean softly for a while before she pointed at the sea far away as she giggled.

Hugo’s gaze was once again directed at Jean when he saw how happy his daughter was. He was focused and

serious, as though he was thinking about something.

“What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?”

Jean touched her face, baffled.

“It’s not that. There’s a great view of the sea, but I…” Hugo was thinking of how to express his feelings when his cell

phone suddenly rang. “I’m sorry.”

Jean shook her head. “It’s alright.”

As she spoke, Ellie pulled her hand and started talking softly to her.

Hugo picked up his cell phone and answered the call.

Once he was done with his call, Jean and Ellie were done with their food. “I think she’s sleepy. Let’s go back to the

hotel.”

She also wanted to straighten out the notes she took from the morning program.

Even though she didn’t learn anything substantial because of Hugo and Edgar.

“Ms. Eyer, let the driver send Ellie back. I want to speak to you alone.” There was unprecedented seriousness in

Hugo’s expression.

“But…”

Jean looked at Ellie, who was sleepy. “Will she be okay alone?”

“I will get the nanny to wait at the entrance of the hotel.” He said as his expression dimmed.

Jean nodded. Once she saw Ellie get into the car, the two of them turned and walked in the direction of the beach.

The waves rolled in, and the borders of the sea and the sky were intertwined. Even though it was noon, the sun’s

rays were gentle.

Jean had just finished lunch, and there was such a fantastic view before her eyes. She was in a good mood.

“Ms. Eyer, there isn’t much time, so I’m just going to come out with it.”

Hugo turned and faced her. “Do you have plans to get married in the next few years?”

“What?”

Jean almost thought that she was having an auditory hallucination and needed an afternoon nap.

“I’m sorry. I don’t mean to scare you, but…”

His fingers tightened around his cell phone.

In the hotel, Edgar made sure that someone was watching for signs of activity in the parking lot.

Soon, he received news that Hugo’s driver had sent his daughter back, but he and Jean weren’t back yet.

At that moment, Edgar couldn’t express his feelings.

If not for a sliver of reason left in him, he would have driven over.

Twenty minutes later, Jean and Hugo returned to the hotel.

They had just walked into the lobby when Jean was stopped by Edgar. His deep yet blazing gaze stayed on her for a

long time. “What did you do?”

Jean ignored him. She didn’t say a word as she walked around him and went into the elevator.

Hugo walked in from the outside, and no one could see through his expression. “You’re divorced, but you’re so

overbearing, Mr. Royden. I don’t think that’s quite right.”

“That’s between us.”

Edgar went into the elevator hastily with a face full of unapproachable anger.

Hugo stood in the lobby for a very long time. He looked down slowly and smiled bitterly. “Some people are knocked

out before they can even do anything.”
