Chapter 17: Business Trip

In the president’s office.

Darren sat in the president’s chair and looked at the handsome man standing in front of him. Andre’s face could definitely be ranked in the top three of the men he had seen over the years.

Then, he turned around and sized up his precious daughter, who was following him like a shadow.

He sighed somewhat helplessly but decided to discuss serious matters with Andre first.

“Andre, the company has an important project in D City. The other party specifically asked for you, this company’s vice president, to personally take on the job. What do you think?”

“Sure, no problem.” When it came to work, Andre never refused.

“Then, you can pack your luggage tonight. The company has already booked an early flight for you tomorrow.”

As soon as Layla heard this, she turned around and glanced at the skull following a short distance away.

Although the skull did not have any expression, Layla could almost see this skull throw its head back and laugh after tearing her into pieces.

Thinking up to this point, Layla could not help but shiver!

No, I can’t let this type of thing happen! Layla immediately decided that she would go on the business trip with Andre too!

“Dad, since Uncle Andre is going on a business trip, I want to follow him to learn too. Can I?”

“No! This is a competition between two companies; it’s a negotiation. It’s fine if you mess around at home or in the company. After all, it’s our own territory. However, I definitely won’t allow you to follow him and create trouble this time!” Darren said somewhat angrily.

This concerned the company’s interests. Darren needed to be responsible for all the employees in the company. This time, he definitely wouldn’t give in.

No matter how hard Layla begged, Darren was unmoved.

Seeing that the father-daughter pair were stuck in a deadlock, Andre suddenly said, “President, I just saw Layla’s proposal. It’s pretty good that she was able to come up with such a plan in such a short time. It proves that she’s talented in this field.”

“Andre, what do you mean by that?” Darren was blinded by his fit of anger right now and didn’t understand the meaning of that speech for a moment.

“President, I think it’s a good thing for Layla to go out and see the world.”

Layla blinked her large eyes. She really did not expect that this icy-looking uncle would speak up for her one day!

“Dad, did you hear that? Even Uncle Andre has agreed. Quick, book plane tickets for me!”

Satisfied, Layla followed behind Andre and pushed her wheelchair out of the president’s office.

Perhaps he had sensed Layla’s gaze behind him, so Andre stopped and looked at her.

Layla paused. “Thank you for that earlier, Uncle Andre.”

“No need. I’m just stating the facts that I see.”

Sure, Layla thought, rolling her eyes inwardly.

She had only just thought that this uncle was nice for helping her out, but in the blink of an eye, he had returned to his cold, bossy self.

Couldn’t this person be slightly gentler to girls? Moreover, she was so much younger than him yet he didn’t dote on someone his junior at all.

Like a cold and hard boulder.

Seeing that Andre was about to leave, Layla quickly pushed her wheelchair and followed him.

Although she was complaining in her heart, she followed the boss as usual.

After all, this big shot was her life-saving talisman now. She had no choice but to accept it.

In another place, there was an elegantly decorated office. Just the backdrop of this wall alone was covered with valuable collectibles.

Gilded Buddha statues, diamond necklaces, carved jades, American coins, Swiss cigarette bottles, and so on all highlighted the distinguished status of the owner here.

A very glamorous woman wearing a low-cut dress was sitting lazily in front of a desk. Her crossed legs were piled on the desk, revealing her bare and white thighs without mistake.

Even in the face of such temptation, the men standing across her did not even dare to raise their heads, let alone focus their gazes on that woman’s alluring thighs.

The woman slowly raised the cigarette in her hand and took a deep drag. Her eyes were fixed on that young lady in a wheelchair on the computer screen.

Indeed, the young lady on the computer screen was Layla!

The woman spat out the residual smoke in her mouth and swept her gaze across the three men standing in front of her. She voiced frostily, “Speak, what did you find out?”

“Miss, I found out that this little girl’s name is Layla. She’s currently a university student and is also the daughter of the current president of the company that Boss is in…”
