Chapter 5 Please Call Me Manager Graham from Now on
If she got to choose, she didn’t want to be a Graham daughter. If she could choose, she wanted have a passionate love. But she can’t. She was carrying too much responsibilities and too much hatred.
Emilie got silent and said lowly, “Nova, if you can choose, you should marry love. “
Emilie wanted to say something else, but someone knocked on the office door, so Nova replied, “I have to deal with something here. We can meet up and talk about it when you come back. “
“Okay, bye.”
Nova got her cold face on after she hung up the phone and said indifferently, “Come on in.”
Secretary Lee then pushed the door open and handed Nova an invitation card. Then he said, “Manager Graham, President Graham wants to see you in his office. “
Nova paused a bit and looked up, “I got it. “
Then she went to Toby’s office and knocked on the door.
“Come on in. “
Nova heard his low voice from the door. Then she pushed the door open and saw the middle-aged man sitting on the couch.
“Do you ask to see me?”
Toby took off his glasses and rubbed his temple.
“Sit down. “
Nova then drooped her eyes and sat on the couch silently.
Toby remembered what happened yesterday and let out a sigh.
“Nova, what you said yesterday was a bit too harsh. Lucie was crying all night. “
Nova quirked up the corner of her mouth.
“Father, what are you trying to say?”
Looking at her scornful eyes, Toby’s words got choked up.
“Ella is my daughter and your sister.”
“So you are trying to day that Graham doesn’t belong to me alone and she also gets a part. I should be generous and handle the business together with her right?”
Looking at Toby’s darkened face, she smiled sarcastically.
“It’s never going to happen. Father. Graham doesn’t belong to you alone. My mother also had her share. I believe that she didn’t want to have her effort taken away by intruders. Of course, you can give your share to Ella and Lucie. But I have to remind you that the board of directors will reshuffle if your share is below 30%. You have to think this through. “
“Are you threatening me?”
“It’s hardly a threat. “
Nova met his eyes fiercely.
“I just want to remind some people that they shouldn’t keep thinking about things that don’t belong to them.”
Toby got silent and rubbed his eyebrows.
“Ella is about to graduate and I just want her to have an internship here. As a president, don’t I have this kind of right?”
“Of course you have. You don’t even mind that she stole my fiancé and offended Robinsons, let alone an internship.”
Nova stood up and answered coldly.
“But don’t you forget that the reason you can be the president is because I have my mother’s share. Father, I don’t want to get our relationship all intense. But if you insist on letting her enter this company, I will choose to undersell all my shares. I wouldn’t mind destroying this company since I can’t keep it.”
Then she straight left in her high heels without looking back. Nova let put an ironical smile. She didn’t even come home last night. As a father, he didn’t even ask her where did she go and was she feeling well, but he was scolding her for being harsh. Well, she’s got used to this, but why she felt terrible inside.
Looking at her back, Toby seemed to see her mother. She even took after her mother’s temperament.
Two months later.
“Manager Graham, we didn’t close the deal on Tian Haiwan land.”
Putting the files on the desk, Secretary Lee said lowly.
“Someone was bidding higher than us.”
“What happened? Weren’t we supposed to sign the contract?”
Eyebrows furrowed, Nova asked.
“Do you remember the H. Group that suddenly broke into the market in Y City about two months ago?”
“You mean the company that specializes in developing environment-friendly products?” Nova asked.
“Yes, their president is called Jacob and started up his business in America seven years ago. His company is now worth of billions of yuan in less than five years because our country now increasingly values environment protection now. He is named as one of the top fifty most potential people in the world by American XX Magazine for three consecutive years and made into top 100 in Forbes’ rich list last year. He is quite a competent guy. He returned about three months ago and his first stop was in Y City. He wants to purchase a land and build his factory here. Of course the government would heavily support him. To some extent, this can lead to the development of many industries. So I’m afraid that we don’t have much winning chance here. “
Nova’s face darkened. Graham and Robinson wanted to co-invest a big resort in Tian Haiwan which can naturally promote the local economy. But Tian Haiwan was a bit remote, so they wanted to build their own business street, so it can merge with the resort and generate much more profit. But it seemed difficult now.
“Can’t we talk the seller through?” Nova asked.
Secretary Lee shook his head.
“The seller said that H. Group promised to pay him 10% more on the basis of our offer.”
Nova got serious and stood up.
“Make an appointment with its president. I want to meet him.”
Secretary Lee seemed awkward.
“Manager Graham, people from H. Group said that they don’t want any negotiations.”
Nova got silent and looked at the invitation card coldly.
“Get out. I have to think about this.”
“Yes.”
Nova sat for a long time and then stood up after Secretary Lee left.
She saw Ewan coming out the elevator with Ella when she just walked out of the door. She squinted her eyes and walked past them. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“Nova.”
Ewan asked. Nova stopped her steps and smiled.
“Please call me Manager Graham from now on. I don’t have some unnecessary chaos here.”
Ewan’s eyes changed a bit, then he said, “I want to talk to you about the land in Tian Hiawan.”
