Chapter 191 Meet Ingrid Again
Gerald had no idea what happened in the Lam’s mansion. He did not know that the two big shots of
Washington were quarreling because of him.
He lay on the sofa and had a nice sleep. He only got up until the next morning arrived. After greeting
Valery and the others who came back, he washed up and rushed to the company.
When he arrived at the company, he glanced at the Sales Department’s manager’s office.
As he expected, Jeff was no longer in the office. Instead, a woman was sitting inside, reading
something.
Gerald did not get inside the office. He walked towards Sales Team Two.
Gerald showed up after disappearing for three days. Many people in the Sales Department looked at
him curiously.
Gerald had become a mystery in the Sales Department now. Two people in the Sales Department were
very popular. One was Gerald, and the other was Catherine.
Gerald was here for only a day, and Jeff was kicked out. Also, Gerald was responsible for the
cooperation between the company and the Maddox family.
They tacitly agreed that Gerald was the one who facilitated this cooperation.
As for Catherine, she became a full–time employee after getting the dead loan mission. After that, during
the few days that Gerald was away, she was responsible for communicating with the Maddox
family.
The job assigned to her made countless people envious. If the project this time was accomplished
perfectly together with the Maddox family, Catherine would thrive in the company.
Of course, those in Sales Team Two all knew that Catherine owed it all to Gerald.
Before Gerald was here, Catherine had been harassed by Jeff every day, and she was having a hard
time becoming a full–time employee.
Gerald returned to Sales Team Two and sat down. Catherine sat next to him, sorting out
information.
Those in Sales Team Two looked at Gerald. Nick even leaned over and said, “Gerald… Well, are you
stili short–handed?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe spoke for theni all. All of them wanted to be on the same team as Gerald.
If the project with the Maddox family was accomplished, those working with Gerald would get promotions
and more salaries for sure. Their status in the company would also rise.
“I don’t think so.” Gerald touched his nose.
In fact, the so–called project was just a cover. Of course, there was some business cooperation between
the company and the Maddox family, but Marty was responsible for communicating with them regarding
relevant matters.
After all, since Gerald needed to keep Ingrid safe, it was only natural for the Maddox family to give him
some benefits in return.
When Catherine saw Gerald, she smiled sweetly and said, “You are back. What have you been doing
these days? I proposed to treat you to dinner that night, and you agreed. Yet you vanished all of a
sudden, and you didn’t text me back.”
Gerald was a little embarrassed. He did stand Catherine up. He coughed and said, “I’ll take dinner
tonight. How does that sound?”
you to
“No need for that. Let me,” Catherine smiled and said. “After all, you did me a great favor earlier.”
Gerald did not turn her down. He asked, “When should we leave for the Maddox’s place?”
“Now,” Catherine said as she picked up the files.
Gerald nodded, and they walked downstairs. Catherine took out her car keys and pressed a button in
a certain direction.
“Good for you. You got a car?” Gerald asked in surprise.
Catherine shook her head and said, “It’s not mine. Mr. Thomas asked me to be in charge of the early
communication with the Maddox family, and he said that I represented the company’s image. So,
he allowed me to use it for now.”
Gerald nodded. “I see. Give me the car keys and send me the address. I’ll drive.”
Catherine nodded.
He drove slowly toward the destination.
The specific project of cooperation between the two sides was the framework of an online platform. The
Maddox family had done very well in e–commerce, and the specific matters were mainly handled by
Ingrid. Catherine and Gerald walked into a luxurious studio.
Several beefy men were standing at the door of the studio, who had become quite familiar with Catherine
already. After seeing Catherine, they nodded. Then they looked at Gerald and asked, “Who is he?”
“He is the person in charge of this project in our company,” Catherine quickly said. “I was just helping him
do some early communication work.”
The people at the door nodded and then let them pass.
Chapter 191 Meet Ingrid Assis
Gerald and Catherine walked into the studio, which was filled with employees facing their laptops. At the
same time, Gerald looked through the glass and saw Ingrid sitting in an office talking on the phone,
smiling.
“You?”
Suddenly, Gerald heard a voice. He looked over and found Eddie sitting while frowning at him.
Obviously, the Maddox family sent Eddie here to protect Ingrid.
Gerald nodded at Eddie as a greeting.
Eddie got up and walked to Gerald. He said lightly, “I see you didn’t take my warning seriously. You still
go all out to approach Ingrid.”
Gerald stroked his nose, looked at Eddie, and said, “You’re thinking too much. I’m just here to do
business with you on behalf of my company.”
“Do business?” Eddie sneered. Then he said, “Why you?”
Then he waved his hand and said, “You can go now. I don’t want Ingrid to have anything to do with
people like you. The project is off the table now.”
“Do you have the right to call the shots?” Gerald’s expression changed slightly.
“As a matter of fact, I do,” Eddie said indifferently.
“Gerald.”
At the same time, Ingrid saw Gerald through the glass. She ran to the door of her office and shouted
excitedly.
Then she hung up the phone, came over, and said, “I was just on the phone with Daphne, and your
name came up. And now you’re here!”
After that, she looked at Catherine with suspicion on her face.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Gerald is our company’s representative,” Catherine hurriedly said. “Gerald, you seem to know Ms.
Maddox. I think there’s no need for me to introduce you.”
“Come here. Let’s talk in my office,” Ingrid hurriedly said.
Gerald touched his nose and then looked at Eddie next to him, smiling.
Seeing Gerald’s slightly provocative smile, Eddie pulled a long face. Yet he couldn’t say anything, since
Ingrid was present. He walked to the sofa not far away and sat down.
After Gerald and Ingrid walked a few steps, Ingrid thought of something and said to the side, “Ms.
Martha, come here. You may discuss the specific details of the cooperation with her.”
Hearing that, Bridget Martha, a beautiful woman, stood up and made a gesture of invitation to
Catherine.
Catherine looked at Ingrid and then at Gerald. Then she left with Bridget.
After entering the office, Gerald said in surprise, “Good for you. You’re a boss now, though you’re still a
college student.”
Ingrid smiled bitterly and said, “I’ll transfer to a university in Washington next semester. It’s almost
summer vacation now, and I don’t have much to do. Plus, I major in design, and I like fashion design. I
was wondering if I could create a fashion brand. My family agreed, thinking that at least I could have
something to do in this way instead of being idle all day. So, I set up this studio.”
Gerald was speechless.
He thought, your family set up a brand for you, just because you like it? And I saw so many people outside. I think they are all designers who work for you. Damn! That’s just unbelievable!
After Ingrid finished speaking, her eyes lit up slightly. Looking at Gerald, she asked tentatively, “Why are
you here? Tell me the truth. Did Night Watch send you here to protect me?”
Gerald nodded. He didn’t lie to her.
Ingrid’s eyes lit up even more brightly.
“My family told me Night Watch would send someone to protect me, who was from one of the companies
that we’ve worked with recently. But Night Watch didn’t tell us the person’s name, so even my family
didn’t know who the person would be. And it turned out to be you!” Ingrid was
extremely excited.
Gerald was speechless again. He could tell that Ingrid admired Night Watch a lot.
Eddie was outside the door. As he watched how thrilled Ingrid was when she was beside Gerald, he
frowned deeper.
