MY Masochistic CEO-Chapter 52 Unexpected client

She reached out to check my phone.

What to do?

Linda remained silent throughout, expressionless. It was hard to tell if she was angry or not.

But I thought she must be angry, right?

After all, I’m close to Tatiana.

I had no choice. I had to take a gamble. I pulled out my phone, my mind racing on how to handle this.

Just then, my phone rang again, the same number as before!

All eyes were on me.

I couldn’t believe it. I hung up, why was it calling again?

"Answer the phone!"

Jessica said coldly. "If it’s your client, answer the phone!"

Damn it, if I’m doomed, I didn’t believe she could fire me!

Even if it were a sales call, I would accept it!

I answered the call, and this time, Linda handed me the phone, putting it on speaker, saying, "Turn on the speaker. Let everyone learn how you negotiate deals!"

My scalp tingled. This woman was ruthless, using this to make a point. Before I could move, Jessica pressed the speaker button.

"Hello!"

The phone was on speaker, and everyone in the marketing department could clearly hear the man’s voice!

I said with a brave face, "Hello."

"William, it’s me. George. My phone ran out of battery, so I’m calling you from my assistant’s phone!"

Upon hearing this familiar voice, I felt a surge of energy!

George, damn, why was he calling me now?

"George, are you awake?"

"Yeah."

A cheerful laughter came through the phone. "Are you at the office? I’ll come find you!"

What did he want to see me for?

"I’m here. Give me a call when you arrive, and I’ll come down to meet you!"

"No need, I’ll come up by myself."

George said, "Wait for me for fifteen minutes."

After that, he hung up!

The room fell silent.

Jessica couldn’t believe it, asking, "William, did he say his name is George?"

"That’s right!"

I nodded.

"Is he the CEO of Marquesa Vines company?"

Linda was also astonished, her voice echoing through the entire marketing department.

"Yes, the call was from the CEO of Marquesa Vines company, George!"

As soon as the words fell, the room erupted.

"No way!" Someone murmured in disbelief.

"Since when did he get in touch with the CEO of Marquesa Vines company?"

The chatter grew louder.

"He’s definitely lying."

Brandon shouted from below.

"You say I’m lying? Alright, just wait. When George comes up, you’ll understand."

I looked at Linda and said, "Ms. Foster, I request permission to go downstairs to meet the CEO of Marquesa Vines company."

She looked at Jessica, my superior. I asked her out of respect and she followed the rules.

Jessica’s face was very complex. "Melody, go with him."

Melody nodded and said, "Let’s go!"

I walked out quickly.

In the elevator, Melody couldn’t help but ask, "When did you contact George?"

"Oh, Edward gave me his number, and I contacted him myself."

At this moment, of course, I couldn’t tell the truth.

She looked displeased, saying, "I’ll help you with this client!"

"No need, I can handle it myself," I said that, but inside I wondered why George was coming. Was it really about the ad placement?

Last night, he casually mentioned it. I thought he was just being polite, but now it seemed he was serious.

Thinking about it, I felt a surge of excitement.

Glancing at Melody, who seemed to want to take advantage of me, I thought, no way!

"No, I must assist you," Melody said firmly.

"You know about today’s bet, and you should know what the consequences are if I lose. I don’t want to rely on anyone’s help. Do you understand?"

I said seriously, "Even if it’s not about saving face for me, it’s about saving face for you. I don’t want you to have a bad reputation." freeweɓnøvel~com

Melody blushed suddenly, saying, "I’m your supervisor. Assisting you is my job."

I put my hand on her shoulder and said, "Trust me, okay?"

She pushed my hand away and said, "Just talk, don’t touch me! If you dare to touch me again, I’ll crush it!"

With that, the elevator reached the first floor, and she hurriedly got out.

I chuckled and followed her out.

After waiting for a few minutes downstairs, a Cadillac pulled up. George’s ride.

The car stopped steadily in front of me, the door opened, and George, dressed in a suit, stepped out, smiling when he saw me. "William, didn’t I say you didn’t have to come pick me up?"

He patted my shoulder, seeming in a good mood.

"George, let me introduce you. This is my superior, Melody!"

No matter how close we are, in front of colleagues, I must show George respect, but I can call him whatever I want in private.

As for Melody, she was technically a supervisor, but in our line of work, we all liked to elevate our status a bit. Calling her that helped boost her image.

It was like when someone knew you were a salesperson but called you a manager. Didn’t you feel a boost in your status?

Melody flashed a professional smile and extended her hand, saying, "Nice to meet you, George."

"Nice to meet you."

Unlike his carefree attitude last night, George was very serious at this moment. Even when shaking hands, he held only a part of her fingers, not the palm, a fleeting touch.

The higher the boss, the more they value etiquette.

Ten minutes later, the elevator arrived, and I gestured. "George, please."

He nodded and walked out of the elevator, holding my hand.

The situation in the marketing department was clearly visible in the corridor. Everyone craned their necks to look over here. I could see the surprised expressions on their faces.

Especially Brandon and Philip. They looked shocked.

Paul gave me a thumbs-up. From his lip movements, he seemed to be saying, "Awesome."

Linda hadn’t left yet, her face still expressionless, while Jessica looked somewhat complicated.

Entering the negotiation room, Melody went to pour water. It was a gesture of goodwill from a leader, and maybe also because of our conversation in the elevator earlier.

So, she didn’t say much during this negotiation.

At this moment, George was different from before, completely businesslike.

He didn’t hold back on what needed to be fought for.

An hour later, the collaboration theme was settled, and the Marquesa Vines company’s team would handle the finer details. The cooperation amount exceeded my expectations, reaching twenty million!

With an eight million budget, giving me a quarter, what more could I ask for?
