1493 Words
"I'm sorry I'm late!"
Travis apologizes.
Jazlyn stares at him, her eyebrows furrowed. She gets angry and scolds, "Travis, are you crazy? I'm not here for a blind date. Why are you bothering me? Go away, I have something important to do today!"
She even tries to make a move!
Today's business negotiations are crucial for her future. She can't afford any mistakes!
But Travis suddenly smiles, "Coincidentally, I'm not here for a blind date either. I'm here on behalf of Timberlight Group to discuss business!"
"What?!"
Jazlyn is immediately stunned.
"If the LGB Company doesn't want to talk to me, then we'll see each other in court! Everyone should abide by the contract anyway!"
After finishing his words, Travis stands up.
"Don't leave!"
Jazlyn is so scared that she rushes over and clings to his arm.
Because she's too nervous, her chest is pressed against Travis, and it looks deformed!
She doesn't care about that anymore. If this man leaves like this, her aspirations of rising through the ranks will be dashed!
Her task is to find a way to minimize the compensation loss for the company!
"Miss Montes, please maintain your composure!" Travis looks at her and reminds her expressionlessly, "We have a working relationship, not a romantic one!"
Tch!
He's just pretending!
Jazlyn is angry but dare not show it.
She believed Travis was lustful; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to the hospital to examine women and now he's acting like a gentleman in front of her?
She doesn't know how this resident gynecologist became the representative of Timberlight Group, but she thinks he's just running errands for the group.
Now, he wants to take advantage of the name of Timberlight Group to intimidate her!
Humph, how despicable!
Jazlyn clenches her teeth in secret, but she still forces a smile on her face, "Mr. Travis, I'm sorry! I lost my temper for a moment. Let's have a good talk!"
Seeing her like this, Travis can't find fault, so they sit down and have a chat.
After all, his immediate goal is to have LGB Company deliver the project by the end of the month.
And the ultimate goal is, of course, to bring Avalynn back to meet his parents!
"Mr. Travis, what position do you hold at Timberlight Group?" Jazlyn asks directly as soon as Travis sits down, her eyes showing a hint of suspicion.
"I don't hold a position temporarily. The executives of Timberlight Group have assigned me to urge your company to deliver the project!" Travis replies honestly.
His current boss is Avalynn, and he's just a temporary worker who hasn't even been to the Timberlight Group's office.
Hearing this, Jazlyn rolls her eyes internally!
So he's just a third-party collection agent?
Could it be that this man has a side job?
Unfortunately, no matter how she looks down on Travis, he represents her client now, and she can't afford to offend him. It's so infuriating!
"Miss Jazlyn, I am here on behalf of Timberlight Group to officially inform you that the project must be delivered by the end of this month, or it will be a breach of contract!" Travis gets straight to the point.
"This—"
Jazlyn looks troubled. If LGB Company could deliver the project by the end of the month, they wouldn't assign her as the project manager.
"What's the problem?" Travis furrows his brows slightly.
Although he's intentionally scaring Jazlyn, he knows very well that Avalynn wants the project to be delivered on time, and compensation is not the real objective.
That's why Travis wants to understand the real reasons why LGB Company can't deliver the project on time!
“Mr.Duncan please go back and talk to the person in charge and extend the three-month deadline for us."
Jazlyn still couldn't let go of her posture and spoke to Travis in a commanding tone.
Travis felt funny in his heart. This woman thought she was here for a blind date?
"Are you asking for help?"
"this--"
Jazlyn bit her lower lip lightly, cursing Travis in her mind, hoping that he would suffer from infertility and have thousands of children in the future!
But no matter how emotional she was inside, she had to force out a smile now, and even used a honey trap to gently hold Travis's hand.
"Mr. Duncan, please! As long as you can let Timberlight Group give us three months' grace, I will go on a date with you, okay?"
"Let go of your hands!"
Travis said coldly and ruthlessly.
Jazlyn’s whole body is not feeling well!
This bastard didn't give her face!
He wanted her to marry him before, and the whole family came to her house, but now he is pretending to her?
hateful!
Angry, Jazlyn had no choice but to let go.
"Why can't LGB deliver the project on time? What's the reason!"
Travis had to ask directly before he could prescribe the right medicine to solve the problem.
"Ha, it's because the land itself has disputes! A group of thugs is squatting there, doing everything they can to block LGB Company's construction. That's why the project keeps getting delayed!" Jazlyn says with frustration, secretly shifting the blame.
"Just because of this?" Travis is surprised, "LGB Company is such a big company, and they can't deal with a few hooligans? Why don't you report it to the police?"
"Humph, if it were that easy, do you think LGB Company couldn't handle it?" Jazlyn sneers.
Actually, she just found out that the leader of that group of thugs is a ruthless person, and he has a notorious reputation in Aketard. He has issued threats several times, claiming that if anyone dares to involve the police, he will kill the responsible person and their entire family!
So the former project manager of LGB Company didn't dare to take action. After all, who would risk their life and their family's just for some money?
Now Jazlyn is just taking it step by step, trying to buy time and earn a few more months as a project manager.
While she can afford to drag things out, Travis cannot. He makes a direct request, "Take me to the project site tomorrow!"
Jazlyn can't help but sneer. Three batches of legal experts sent by LGB Company couldn't negotiate successfully before. Does this gynecologist think he can solve the problem?
Impossible!
But she thought so in her heart, but dared not say it.
After all, this loser now represents the client. If she doesn't cooperate, she's afraid he'll immediately go through legal proceedings and claim compensation, and then her bonus plan will be completely ruined.
"Sorry, I have other arrangements tomorrow, so I won't accompany you. I'll have our company's legal counsel, Samir, take you instead."
Jazlyn didn't want to go with Travis. In case he offended those gangsters, if he ended up dead, it would be his own problem. But he mustn't drag her into it.
Travis didn't care about her thoughts. Anyway, he just wanted to understand the situation and find a way to achieve Avalynn's goals!
The next day, Travis took half a day off and arrived at the entrance of LGB Company early in the morning.
Jazlyn soon appeared with a bespectacled man.
"Are you Travis?"
The bespectacled man was straightforward, and when he saw Travis, he spoke directly:
"I am Samir, the legal consultant of LGB. Let me make it clear in advance, I will only take you to the project site, I won't help you drive people away! The leader of those gangsters is called Dragon G, he is an underground boss, not someone we can afford to provoke!"
Seeing Samir actually backing down, Travis couldn't help but frown!
Jazlyn originally wanted to avoid it, but couldn't help but complain, "Travis, are you really going to deal with those gangsters for the sake of performance? Isn't it better to live well? Do you have to risk your life for a few dollars?"
Travis looked at her speaking ill of him and directly despised her, "Even if it's risking my life for money, it's still better than someone like you who plays it safe and doesn't do any work even though you get paid!"
"You—"
Jazlyn was so angry that she couldn't find words to refute.
"No wonder LGB hasn't been able to deliver the project on time, it's because of useless managers like you! Just wait, if the project can't be delivered on time, I will make you lose your job!"
Travis didn't bother to be polite with Jazlyn either. After speaking, he directly asked Samir to lead the way.
Jazlyn was so angry that she stomped her feet in place!
"Travis, you bastard! With so many ruthless underlings of Dragon G, who wouldn't be happy to see you get killed?"
"Just wait, on your death anniversary next year, I will definitely dance in front of your grave! Humph, you make me so angry!!"
