Miss Garsia, the Cat Is Out of the Bag

“Thank you for your admiration. I hope that you like not only Cassie but also the Smith Group.”

This sentence instantly resolved the awkwardness.

George smiled. “Alright.”

After dealing with George, Cassie booked the earliest flight back.

She returned to the Smith residence first and was about to take a few days off to return to the Blue Group to deal with some matters. But, unexpectedly, she bumped into Javen.

“Cassie.” Javen was the first to call out.

“Hey, shouldn’t you be with your ex-girlfriend at this time? Why are you here?”

Cassie became annoyed when she saw his expression as though nothing had happened. She could not help but become sarcastic.

“No, it’s not what you think.”

When he had rushed back, he had been informed by Juwan that Ginger Geller didn’t come back.

Moreover, he left in such a hurry not because he couldn’t forget her, but because he had been hanging over a question for many years and needed to find Ginger to get the answer.

Javen wanted to explain himself but was directly interrupted by Cassie. “Mr. Smith, you don’t have to explain to me. I don’t have time to talk to you about your ex-girlfriend.”

After saying that, she left for the personnel department to apply for a leave of absence.

Javen looked at her resolute back and felt helpless.

At that moment, his phone rang. Javen looked at the name “George Macadam” on the screen of his phone and his heart beat quickly.

He picked up the phone, and there was a trace of teasing in George’s voice, “Mr. Smith, have you received the contract?”

Javen frowned. “What do you mean?”

“Didn’t Cassie tell you? If it weren’t for Cassie’s sincere wish to cooperate with Wonderland Group, this collaboration might have been aborted… Mr. Smith, don’t you know?”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

George was shocked and continued, “I thought that Cassie would tell you this matter, but I never expected that she did not. It’s really weird.”

These words made the conflict between Javen and Cassie worse. Javen ignored him and asked, “Mr. Macadam was unwilling to cooperate before, but now why did you agree so quickly.”

George raised his eyebrows and lowered his voice, with a hint of mystery in it, “Thanks to Cassie, I was tempted by her, so…”

George always showed affection for Cassie. Now that he said this, Javen subconsciously thought of some things.

“What did you do to Cassie?”

He didn’t want the things in his mind to happen and asked calmly.

“You should ask Cassie.” George smiled and continued, “Mr. Smith, I still have matters to attend to, so….”

George hung up the phone, leaving Javen with questions.

Javen heard from the personnel department that Cassie wanted to ask for a one-month leave, so she was going to leave today.

After thinking about it for a while, Javen called Cassie. “Where are you?”

Hearing the questioning tone in his voice, Cassie sneered, “None of your business, right?”

“You are not allowed to take leave. Come back and continue to work.”

Javen was almost certain that she had agreed to do something shameful required by George. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have left so suddenly.

“Javen, I asked for leave through a legitimate procedure. You don’t have the right to interfere.”

Javen’s voice became a bit angry. “Don’t make me repeat myself.”

“Javen, what’s wrong with you today?”

Javen suddenly sneered and said, “Cassie, you’re on the way to Wonderland Group, aren’t you?”

Cassie froze, not understanding why he would think that way.

“I know that George gave you a great benefit. You left the Smith Group because of this, right?” Javen took a deep breath and continued.

Cassie was so angry that she laughed. With a cold face, she said, “Even if I went to Wonderland Group, it was a wise choice for me. Mr. Smith, you don’t have to be so angry.”

“Okay, go and never come back.”

After saying this, Javen hung up the phone directly.

Hearing the sound of the phone being hung up, Cassie felt very sad.

She naturally would not tell Javen that she was returning to the Blue Group to deal with matters. Rather than telling him the truth, it was better to let him misunderstand.

Anyway, he had never cared about her, and all he had was reprimand and suspicion.

When Cassie returned to the headquarters, Cater was waiting there. Seeing her return, he felt much more relaxed.

“What’s wrong? Exactly, what happened?”

Cater hurriedly said, “The collaboration between Star Group and us met some difficulties. However, the boss of that company is very weird and said that he must have a face-to-face conversation with you.”

Cassie frowned. “Have a face-to-face conversation with me?”

“Yes, He asked to see the president of the company and to discuss Taoism with him. He said that if he cannot resonate with you, he would end the cooperation. No matter how much money they had to pay.” After saying that, Cater sighed. “This cooperation involves a large amount of money. If we terminate it, although the other side will have to pay a large number of liquidated damages, our company will also lose a lot of money. Because we have invested in some new projects recently, it may be a big blow to us.”

Cassie instantly understood when she heard this.

This time, she had to talk about the cooperation face to face.

“Cassie, I guess that the president of Star Group is proficient in the tea. Are you sure…?”

After Cater finished speaking, he managed to keep his mouth shut.

Cassie knew that he worried very much and she gave him a comforting smile.

“When have I ever made a fool of myself?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Cater’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, she was Cassie. What couldn’t she do?

Cassie smiled and said nothing.

The president of the Star Group and Cassie made an appointment at the teahouse on Sunday afternoon. There were not many people in the teahouse. When Cassie went there, there were only people in twos and threes.

She stood at the door of the private room and knocked.

A forceful reply came from inside. Cassie pushed the door open and went in.

The president was old and looked to be in his sixties, but his figure was still strong. He took a sip of tea with a cup in his hand. When he saw Cassie pushing the door open and coming in, he smiled and said, “You live up to my expectation of president of Blue Group. Every move of yours is full of refined temperament.”

Cassie smiled and said, “Adam Lee, you don’t look sixty years old at all. You look very young.”

Mr. Lee laughed and said, “Come on, since we have an appointment for tea today, let me see your opinion.”

Cassie had already expected this. With a faint smile, she blurted out, “The tea ceremony is divided into heating tea sets, brewing tea, mixing, pouring tea, serving tea, and drinking tea. Each tea has its characteristics, some are strong, and some are mild. The thousands of tea leaves in the world change according to the local weather.”

“Very good. You have mastered the basics of making tea very well.”

Mr. Lee chuckled. “I don’t know who taught you how to make tea.”

Cassie’s thoughts drifted away when this topic was brought up.

“My father taught me this when I was very young. My father’s art of making tea was also taught by my grandfather. My grandfather is proficient in the art of tea. He also has many friends who like tea like you.”
