Mr. Poker Face’s Sweetheart By Lee Dubois

Chapter 87

Mickey clenched his fist tightly and hammered the table heavily, asking, “What did you say?”

“Why did Hassan help Giselle if she doesn’t have a secret relationship with him?”

Jenny said ambiguously, “You know that… There’s no free lunch in the world. Do you think Hassan helped her for no reason? He must have gotten something from her in return. He even signed a contract with us in advance? Wasn’t he too kind to us?”

Mickey said with a sullen face. “It looks suspicious.”

Jenny seized the opportunity and fanned the flames. “So we can’t let Giselle walk away easily. If she really has a secret relationship with Hassan, we can’t get any benefits from it, can we?

“Mickey, you worked so hard to get this business from the beginning, and you have talked to Pino Capital so many times. You entertained them by buying them drinks and a massage service. Look what happened. Giselle snatched the business from you. How can she do that?”

Mickey gritted his teeth and said, “Tell me what we should do now.”

“Of course, we should expose Giselle’s tricks!” Jenny compliantly leaned in Mickey’s arms and wrapped his neck. “Think about it. If we drive Giselle out of the company, Pino Capital will have to cooperate with us only, right?”

Thinking of the prospect of getting the benefits, Mickey pushed the guilty feeling for Giselle out of his mind and said, “Good idea. Let’s do as you say.”

When Nora saw Giselle, she blushed and said, “Giselle, thank you very much. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have known what to do this time.”

“Don’t mention it. The best way to thank me is to sign more contracts and earn more money to bring me more commission.”

Giselle was not interested in befriending Nora. She did so much for her only because it was her job.

Feelings affected work the most, and it was not right to act emotionally in a workplace, so Giselle wouldn’t be softened a bit.

Nora’s eyes were still red and swollen, and her arrogance and contempt she showed to Giselle before all disappeared.

She nodded gently and said, “Okay…”

“Tell me in detail about the client we’re meeting this time.”

“His name is Frank Palmer, and he has a lot of advertising resources in his hands. In the past, I secured the contracts by fawning on him…”

Nora frowned and said, “Now that Rey and I have broken up, and there is such a scandal, Frank terminated the contract with me without another word. and asked me to compensate him. How can I afford to pay such a huge amount?”

“Okay.” Giselle thought quietly about the solution with a cold face.

They made the appointment to meet at a private restaurant that required reservations.

The chef was experienced and only served three tables of guests a day, so the dishes were expensive..

Frank made the reservation, but Giselle and Nora had to pay for the dinner.

However, they had to pay the bill no matter how expensive the dinner would be if they wanted to get back the contracts.

At the sight of Frank, Giselle smiled brightly and said, “Mr. Palmer, Nora has mentioned you to me many times, and I have heard of your legendary experiences… I’m honored to meet you today.”

Frank laughed and said, “Ms. Ostry, I heard about you a long time ago. You’re getting famous in the industry.”

“You’re flattering me. Compared with you, I’m only a small potato.”

Frank was delighted by a few simple words from Giselle.

He said to Nora, “The company you signed this time is not bad. I told you a long time ago that you would get nowhere by working on your own. You have to rely on a company.”

Nora nodded and said, “That’s right. Mr. Palmer, I’m lucky. I got in big trouble this time. If I hadn’t worked with Ms Ostry, something bad might have happened to me.”

Frank said, “That’s right. I’ve heard how you solved the problem.”

After they exchanged pleasantries for a few minutes, Giselle got straight to the point. “Mr. Palmer, Nora’s problems have been solved almost. Why don’t you give us another chance?

She continued, “Don’t worry. She will do her best to cooperate with you. I think she is qualified and experienced. Her performance will satisfy you.”

“Ms. Ostry, there are many people behind me. Even if I’m satisfied, what can I do if my boss is not satisfied?”

Frank pretended to be ambivalent.

However, Giselle learned from Nora that Frank was the person in charge.

She guessed Frank was trying to play hard–to–get. The best thing to do was… Giselle put the gifts and an envelope on the table.

“Mr. Palmer, I won’t talk nonsense anymore. As long as we can cooperate, these are all yours.”

Frank said pretentiously, “Ms. Ostry, how can I take these? It’s not appropriate.”

“What’s wrong with that? Who would know about it except us today?”

Seeing the cunning light in Frank’s beady eyes, Giselle knew he was tempted, but he was pretending he was not interested.

Giselle didn’t mention this for the time being. They ate and drank happily. When the atmosphere was warm, she made the request again.

Frank suddenly said to Nora, “Please go to the restaurant manager and get the wine I stored here earlier.”

Nora realized that Frank had tried to send her away and exchanged a glance with Giselle before getting to her feet.

When he was alone in the private room, Frank stopped pretending and said, “Ms. Ostry, I’ve admired you for a long time. It’s simple to solve this. You just

need to…”

Frank suddenly stretched out his hand and moved closer to Giselle.

When he was about to touch the back of Giselle’s hand, she pulled away with a cold face and said, “Mr. Palmer, what do you mean?”

“My intention is evident, and you understand it well. Don’t worry. I will never tell anyone else. Moreover, I will give you whatever advertising cooperation you want exclusively in the future and I will give priority to the Internet celebrity under you. What do you think?”

This was a great temptation, but Giselle wouldn’t sell herself.

She refused in a serious tone, “Mr. Palmer, I’m sorry, but I only want to discuss serious cooperation with you. If you are not thinking of the same thing as me, please go replace someone else.”

The smiles ga Frank’s face gradually disappeared. He said, “If you don’t agree, I will…..”

Nora came back with the bottle of wine that was stored at the counter, but she was stopped by a young man in the hallway. He said, “Mr. Palmer needs more time to talk with Ms. Ostry. Please wait here.”

“What are they talking about? Can’t go in?”

“Don’t worry. When Mr. Palmer finishes the talk, you can go inside. But you’d better not disturb them now.”

O

Nora suddenly felt uneasy and said, “No, I want to go in. Let me…”

When she failed to go past the man, Nora shouted nervously, “Ms. Ostry! Giselle, come out quickly!”
