Chapter 36
At the president's office of Fusion Fortune Holdings.
Liam ended the call and threw his phone aside. His amorous eyes narrowed and darted around as he rubbed his chin, looking like he was thinking of something.
Sitting on the sofa, a man who was smoking a cigar said in a hoarse voice, "Is this your idea? Get close to Stanley's woman, and then make a move on him?"
Leaning on the chair without moving, Liam swept his glance at the man and said flatly, "Harvey Wells, you are just my business partner. My personal affairs have nothing to do with you."
There was a hint of warning in his words.
Harvey smiled and raised a hand. "OK, I won't ask about your plan, but if you need any help, you can come to me at any time. You know that you and I are of one mind about Stanley, so I will try my best to help you anywhere I can."
Liam frowned and said nothing.
At this time, someone knocked on the door.
"Young Master Frazier."
It was William Carney's voice.
"Come in."
Liam got up, turned around to the bar, and poured a glass of wine.
When the door opened, William came in and respectfully stopped in front of Liam. "Young Master Frazier, we've found him."
"Bring him in."
"Okay." William turned around and shouted to the outside, "Bring him in."
Two bodyguards emerged at the door, dragging a bloodied man in between them. The man's face was so swollen that it was hard to tell what he looked like.
Harvey got up and said, "Since you have a personal matter to attend to, I won't be in your way. Excuse me."
Liam nodded and Harvey left.
William dragged the man to the corner of the office so as not to stain the expensive carpet with his blood.
Squinting his bewitching eyes, Liam walked over with a glass of wine in his hand and squatted down in front of the man. The bright red liquid stained his lips, revealing a bit of devilishness.
Without saying a word, he tilted the glass in his hand and the wine poured on the man who was covered with blood.
"Argh..."
The man on the ground screamed in agony as the alcohol stung his wounds.
Liam slowly poured the wine onto the man until the glass was empty. Looking at the man lying on the ground twitching in pain, he stretched out his hand and William immediately took the glass from him.
"Do you still remember me?"
Liam smiled and asked.
The man on the floor raised his swollen face weakly and looked at him. When he finally saw the smiling man in front of him, his whole body trembled. "You... it's you!"
The bloodied man was the thief from the other day.
Seeing the shock and fear in the thief's eyes, Liam smiled. "You have a good memory. No one dares to point a knife at me, and no one dares to hurt me. You are the first one, so of course, you need to pay a price, don't you think so?"
After that, he got up. The smile on his face disappeared, and he was expressionless like a Grim Reaper. "William, go and break his limbs."
Horrified, the thief threw himself forward, hugging Liam's leg while shouting, "I'm sorry! Don't kill me... Please don't kill me!"
Irritated, Liam frowned at the thief who had stained his trousers and kicked him away.
"You take care of the rest!"
"Yes, sir!"
William signaled at the two bodyguards with his eyes, and they dragged the thief who was crying and howling out of the room.
Liam went straight to the large French windows, overlooking the pedestrians as dense as ants under the tall buildings.
He fixed his eyes on a certain point, and a smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth, spurting a name, "Sharon Cruz."
Then he said lightly, "William, I want you to do something..."Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
It was Sharon's first time to come to an entertainment media company. Everything was so new and vivid to her. She saw the pictures of a lot of popular celebrities on the wall of the company.
Among them was a male star who was Melody's idol. She secretly took a few pictures of the male star's photo, thinking about sending them to Melody later to make her happy.
A person who looked like a secretary led them directly to the lounge. "Please wait for a moment. Our manager will be here soon. There are food and water over there. Please help yourself."
Skye thanked her, and the beautiful secretary went out.
After a short while, a person who looked like a manager came in. After exchanging pleasantries, they began the discussion.
The manager looked at the contract and said with a smile, "Our president is in the office today. He heard that the staff from Jones Group are here to discuss the matter, and wished to speak with you personally if you don't mind."
It was like hitting the jackpot!
Skye gasped in astonishment. "Your president will be seeing us in person?"
The manager smiled and said, "Yes."
Sharon was also astounded. She didn't expect that she would be so lucky today to meet the big boss who had never revealed himself to the media before.
Not only Skye but Sharon was getting nervous too.
When the door was opened, Sharon's anxiety turned into astonishment when she saw the man walking in from outside.
"It's him?"
Bewildered, she stared at the man coming slowly in disbelief.
The manager pulled out his office chair very respectfully, and the man sat down gracefully. His regal- like face was exceptionally handsome as always.
Liam raised his eyebrows and looked at the stunned Sharon with a smile on his mouth, amused by her adorable expression.
On the other hand, she felt as if she had seen a ghost!
Sharon came to her senses when the manager said, "Ladies, this is Mr. Frazier. You can express your request and requirement to him."
Composing herself and suppressing the anxiety inside her, Skye returned to her working mode and said, "Mr. Frazier, Mr. Olson had viewed the contract. We came here today to officially sign this contract."
The Jones Group had many departments and a variety of businesses. The project that Skye and Sharon were in charge of represented
only a small portion of the company.
Before Sharon joined the company, Skye had been coming to Fusion Fortune Holdings many times regarding the contract negotiation. She thought that she would return empty- handed again today, but she didn't expect to see the president who had never shown up before.
"I must get the contract signed today!" Skye thought to herself.
"Mr. Frazier?"
After expressing her opinion, Liam remained seated without a word while curling his lips into an ambiguous smile.
After a while, he said, "Miss Cruz, do you have anything to say?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Skye and Mr. Olson shifted their glances to her.
"What the hell is he doing?" Sharon thought, astounded.
Not knowing where he was coming from, Sharon calmed herself down and said, "The main purpose of our visit today is to reach an agreement with your company and sign the contract. This is what I want to say."
Liam raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, let's sign the contract then."
Skye was overjoyed. "Really?"
"Mr. Olson, bring the contract here." Liam gestured with his hand.
Sharon was stunned. "Oh? That's it? Doesn't he need to think about it? Is he going to sign the contract just like that?"
After a few swishing sounds, Liam signed his name on the contract, threw the black pen away casually, and then stood up, extending his hand to Sharon. "I'm looking forward to our collaboration with you in the future, Miss Cruz."
Watching Mr. Olson send off Sharon and Skye, William came to the office, pushed the door open, entered, and saw Liam sitting in a chair.
After thinking for a while, William came forward and asked, "Young Master Frazier, didn't you tell us that we won't be working with Jones Group?"
Why did he suddenly change his mind today and meet the two entry- level employees of Jones Group in person?
Liam smiled and slightly raised his enchanting eyes. "You need to set up a bait before fishing, don't you?"
William tilted his head, not getting Liam's meaning. "What do you mean by that?"
"If I want to approach Sharon, I must give her some benefits first. Only in this way can she accept me."
William nodded in agreement. "You're right."
After giving her such a huge favor, Sharon would at least not treat Liam as a stranger from now on.
In this way, the objective of approaching her was half accomplished.
