Chapter 1242 Unexpected Negotiations

Adding Manny’s emotions complicates the situation. He has been there for me since we were young,

and I owe him for helping me enter the company and for the best moments of my life.

Santiago’s advice about not owing favors in our line of work resonates in my mind. Now, Manny needs

me to secure

this contract.

How can I escape and potentially cause him a significant loss?

No, I can’t do it!

After collecting his thoughts, Shane declared, “Let’s pretend I’m being possessed! Close my eyes and

act like I don’t know anything!” Then, he returned to the Titan Group office.

Meanwhile, Lola and Lily were unaware of his plan to run away. It was already past 6 p.m., and they

were leaving work. Coincidentally, they saw Shane returning to the office. They encouraged him,

“Shanny, we’re counting on you tonight! Our bonus depends on you, so keep it up!”

They’re not the ones being possessed; of course, they can talk without feeling the pain. Shane returned

to the reception room alone, sighing as he went.

At this time, Ms. Wenlocke had just finished an important meeting and entered the meeting room to

meet Shane,

but the meeting room was empty.

As she was about to leave, she suddenly noticed a foul smell.

Ms. Wenlocke wondered, Strange! Who would dare to bring something sour in since all the employees

of Titan Group know I’m a clean freak who loves cleanliness and fresh air?

To confirm the source of the smell, she took a deep breath and detected it from a coat hanging on a

nearby chair.

However, Shane walked in and witnessed the scene!

As Shane watched Ms. Wenlocke sniffing his coat, fear overtook him, and he almost lost control of his

bladder.

He quickly turned around and ran outside, gritting his teeth and cursing in his heart, How strange! Why

is the old witch so interested in me? Now, she even fell in love with my belongings! I’m so charming

that it becomes a problem

for me. Sigh!

Unaware of Shane’s presence, Ms. Wenlocke put the coat back with a disgusted expression. She

fanned her nose

and walked out.

She thought, If it were one of the company’s employees with such a sour smell, I would fire them.

However, I must tolerate it since it is from the person in charge of M&L Group.

As Ms. Wenlocke was leaving the room, she accidentally collided with Shane, who was entering the

meeting room.

“Ah!” she exclaimed.

She thought, If it were one of the company’s employees with such a sour smell, I would fire them.

As Ms. Wenlocke was leaving the room, she accidentally collided with Shane, who was entering the

meeting room.

“Ah!” she exclaimed.

Startled by the collision, Shane accidentally knocked her down. However, he quickly held her with one

hand to

prevent any harm to her old bones, acting out of humanitarianism.

At that moment, their eyes met, and everything seemed to freeze.

Ms. Wenlocke felt relieved and blinked her eyes, thanking him with a smile, “Young man, thank you for

catching me!”

Shane felt goosebumps all over his body as he heard her words. He wondered, D*mn! Is she flirting

with me? He quickly helped her up, wiped his arm, and responded coldly, “You’re welcome.”

“Mr. Murphy, shall we start discussing business? By the way, have you had dinner?” Ms. Wenlocke

asked him warmly, considering Mr. Smith’s instructions to treat the guest well and finalize the contract

details.

Shane shook his head, indicating that he had not eaten yet.

Ms. Wenlocke suggested, “Then, let’s go to the hotel together. We can have dinner and have a

thorough discussion afterward.”

“A thorough discussion?! How… How thorough?” Shane nervously asked, feeling a chill run down his

spine at the mention of a thorough discussion.

Ms. Wenlocke responded with a smile, “This is our first collaboration. We must understand each other

well.”

She pondered, How can we not have effective communication for such a significant project?

However, Shane misunderstood her intention! He thought, Oh God, please save me! I don’t want to go

deep, and I’m afraid I can’t!

Shane followed Ms. Wenlocke to the elevator and soon arrived at the underground parking lot.

Standing in front of a sleek red Porsche, Ms. Wenlocke maintained her cheerful demeanor and asked,

“Mr. Murphy, can you drive?”

Still lost in his wild thoughts, Shane was once again startled subconsciously, muttering, “Drive?”

He pondered, After reading numerous free s, I certainly understand the implied meaning of

driving! Does this old witch just bluntly ask if I know how to engage in intirnate activities? Isn’t that too

bold? I’m a very innocent man!

“Of course, I’m talking about driving my car, Ms. Wenlocke clarified with a chuckle. She couldn’t help

but wonder, Does he think he could drive all the way from Yeringham to this city?
