Chapter 59 Bruce Humiliated Shaw Family
Bruce just came in with George, he was watching Diana. When he found Lennox, who was following Sally, he changed countenance. Lennox didn't know Bruce, but he met George before. Like Shaw Family, George's company was also a local enterprise which had been developed in recent years. Actually George's social prestige was higher than Old Lady Shaw.
And George's company was merged into Ray Group not long ago. Now he worked with Ray Group, and his prestige rose. At thought of this, Lennox's expression changed and stood up abruptly. As George was working for Ray Group, who could be the man behind him? It could only be the president of Ray Group Bruce in N city.
At this moment, he saw Bruce was talking with Diana happily, he couldn't calm instantly.
"What's wrong? Lennox, what are you fussing about?" Old Lady Shaw shot a glance at Lennox.
Lennox whispered, "Mom, George is here."
Old Lady Shaw hurried to ask, "Where is he?"
When Old Lady Shaw asked his son, George already walked in front of her. George laughed, "I don't know today is your birthday. I'm sorry. I just saw you when I went downstairs. I didn't prepare present for you. What I can do is to say 'happy birthday', and hope your company better and better."
Old Lady Shaw smiled and held George's arm, "Thank you. How could our small business compare with your company? I heard your company had been emerged into Ray Group. And your company must have a bright future."
As she talked, Old Lady Shaw asked Lennox to get up and offered his seat. Old Lady Shaw herself dragged George beside the table, "Please come here, and let's have some drinks tonight. Please take care o Shaw Family in the future."
George was startled to hear what Old Lady Shaw said. Didn't she see Bruce following Diana and talking with Diana politely? And who was Diana? She was Mr. Ray's wife.
How could Old Lady Shaw ask him to take care of Shaw Family? He didn't have that strength or balls to do that.
George shook his hand as soon as he thought of this. He kept a low profile, "Please don't say that! I was really overwhelmed by what you said. How could I take care of you? It's Shaw Family that would help me in the future."
George was all of cold sweat.
Old Lady Shaw thought George was joked. But his expression was not like that. For a moment, Old Lady Shaw was confused. She asked in doubt, "I don't understand why did you say that? How could our small company help you?"
George took a deep look at Old Lady Shaw. He finally was aware that people in Shaw Family didn't know the identity of Mr. Ray.
George didn't say any word for the moment. Old Lady Shaw was old but clever. She was surer that there were some hidden things she didn't know.
At the moment, Lennox walked to George. He asked in low voice, "Mr. George, Excuse me for my abrupt questions. The man just came with you, is he Mr. Hill of Ray Group?"
George nodded, "Yes, that's him. What's wrong?"
Old Lady Shaw turned around after she heard what George said. She found a man was sitting beside Diana. The man was behaved and dressed well, with good temperament.
"Yes, I was lucky to meet Mr. Hill once. This is Mr. Hill. Please excuse me. I need to say 'hi' to Mr. Hill. You know, my company depends much on Ray Group." A boss, who was sitting with Old Lady Shaw, pointed to Bruce and explained to Old Lady Shaw.
After these words, he walked towards Mr. Hill with a big smile on his face.
"Mrs. Shaw, please excuse me---"
"Mrs. Shaw, catch you later."
Suddenly, the several bosses from N City, who came to celebrate Old Lady Shaw's birthday, left the table and hurried happily to the last table in the banquet hall.
George smiled to Old Lady Shaw, "Sorry, Mr. Hill can't say 'Happy birthday to you.""
Old Lady Shaw shook her hands immediately, "Never mind! How could Mr. Hill to celebrate my birthday? I would come to him, I'm coming."
At this moment, not only Old Lady Shaw, but all the people of Shaw Family, who were sitting there, looked embarrassing. They were sitting the seat of the host. But the people, whose positions were much higher than them, were sitting at the end of the hall. What an embarrassing moment!
George nodded smilingly and then went back to Bruce.
Lennox looked awkward, so did Dexter. Old Lady Shaw was shocked.
"How could Diana be Mr. Hill's friend?" At the thought of how people of Shaw Family were ignorant of Diana just now, she felt like she was slapped on the face.
"Miss Shaw, Judson has told me about you. We're good friends. He entered our company this afternoon. Would you like to work in our company? If you like, you could come tomorrow. The position is design director of Ray Group, with salary one million a year, not including the commission. What do you think?"
Diana was stunned. She couldn't believe what he said, said with her sexy mouth, "Mr. Hill, this is too much for me. I'm afraid I am not capable. Or could you please offer me a position like designer?" Sally changed her expression as she heard this. "One million a year, not including the commission. This's better than that Diana run her own business."
Sally was angry to see Diana reject. So she hurried to hold Diana's arm and said to Bruce, "Mr. Hill, don't listen to her rubbish. Thank you for your kindness. We will take this position. Thank you very much. It's very kind of you."
How could someone reject such a good thing? Even fool knew this was a pie in the sky. Sure enough, even Judson didn't have share, he was still Bruce's friend. Sally felt so lucky in her heart. After so many years, she finally made a right decision.
"Mom, what are you talking about? I am not capable. You know Ray Group is big, how could I'm competent in the work?" Diana complained to Sally.
Sally shot a glance to Diana severely, and motioned her to shut up. Then she stood up and got the wine bottle to pour wine for Bruce.
"Thank you, Mr. Hill. I'd like to propose a toast to you." As she said, Sally was pouring wine for Bruce.
But nobody expected what happened next. Bruce stood up suddenly and grabbed wine bottle from Sally. At this moment, cold sweat fell down from Sally's face.
