MY Masochistic CEO-Chapter 53 the bet

The legal team and Melody finalized contract details, while George and I were smoking in the smoking room. He was quite interesting, not even picky about cheap cigarettes. He was quite interesting, not even minding smoking Fifteens. "William, I’m counting on you for this collaboration. I wanted to invest more, but Marquesa Vines company’s plan this year is to expand nationwide, so Sevan’s budget can only allocate this much."

"George, your presence is already a big favor. I’m more than grateful."

Honestly, just him showing up was a godsend. And he even explained it to me. His attention to detail and character definitely warranted a deep friendship.

"Who else can do it if not you? Skylight has a good reputation, and with you here, I’m at ease."

I said seriously, "George, rest assured, whether it’s Edward’s project or yours, I will make sure you’re satisfied."

He patted my shoulder and said, "After this project is done, I’ll take you out to relax."

"Sure, but this time, it’s my treat."

"Deal."

We shared a smile.

Half an hour later, the legal teams finalized the contract, and while signing it, Jessica also arrived. Under her witness, a preliminary collaboration contract was signed with Skylight.

However, this contract was similar to paying a deposit. If Skylight didn’t perform well, or if Marquesa Vines company encountered issues, the agreement could be terminated at any time!

A more comprehensive contract will be drawn up in the next few days. Seeing George off, I couldn’t help but clench my fist. This felt damn good!

Securing a twenty-million-dollar deal was also the third-largest deal in Skylight’s history.

I finally understood why the sales champion could be so arrogant.

Walking back into the marketing department, the noisy environment suddenly quieted down, and everyone turned to look at me.

Their eyes were filled with envy and jealousy.

Just now, Jessica already announced the good news of the successful contract signing in the company’s group chat. Linda even posted a bonus in the group, congratulating me on the successful deal.

"You’re awesome, mate! First, a forty million deal, then another twenty million. Sixty million worth of projects, and you managed it in just a few hours. You could single-handedly cover the efforts of our entire team for a month."

Of course, he was exaggerating. Skylight’s marketing department’s monthly performance ranges from eighty to one hundred and ten million, definitely exceeding a billion annually.

I remember the previous year’s top seller hit three hundred and eighty million, and now, unless something unexpected happens, I’ve pretty much secured this year’s annual top seller position.

And I achieved all this with just two major deals!

"Don’t mention it!" I said with a smile.

"Now, let’s see who dares to talk behind your back about poaching deals!"

With that, he was blatantly calling out Philip and Brandon.

Philip was furious, grinding his teeth, while Brandon lowered his head, seeming somewhat uneasy.

At that moment, Grace slid over in her chair and said, "Top seller, it seems like you’ve forgotten something."

She winked at me, and I understood her meaning, so I followed up. "Forgotten something?"

She pointed at my forehead and reminded me, "Have you forgotten the bet you made with someone in the elevator today?"

I pretended to suddenly remember, slapping my forehead, saying, "Oh, right. I remember now, that’s true!"

I stood up and stopped Brandon, who was trying to sneak away, and said, "Brandon, where are you going?"

Brandon froze, turned around, and forced a smile uglier than crying. "I... I’m going to the restroom!"

I walked over, saying, "Not in a hurry, are you?"

"Yes, I’m really in a hurry!"

"Oh, then I’ll just take a minute of your time."

I smiled at him, saying, "You can now fulfill our bet."

"William, that was just a joke!"

"A joke? I don’t think so."

I looked at him and said, "That’s not what you said earlier. And someone recorded a video and shared it in the group. Do you want to take another look?"

"Brandon, you started this by challenging William to land a ten million deal within seven days. Now, William has achieved it in just a few hours. If you’re a man, honor the bet!"

"Brandon, you made the bet yourself. No one forced you. Either fulfill your promise now or leave, but I think you won’t have the nerve to stay in this company anymore."

Paul chimed in as well.

"Grace, Paul, what’s going on with you two?"

Philip couldn’t stand it and stepped forward, saying, "William, you’re going too far. It was just a joke. How can you force a colleague like this? Can’t you be more magnanimous?"

Upon hearing this, I couldn’t help but laugh. "Philip, what’s it to you? If you’re so righteous, why don’t you take Brandon’s place and fulfill the promise? Then I’ll acknowledge it!"

"You don’t even think about it!"

Philip’s face was red from anger. Kneel and admit defeat? Over his dead body!

"Why the hell should I play nice when you’re not the one getting stabbed?" I retorted. I have always sneered at this kind of man.

"You and William are just talkers. It’s easy to brag, but if you really act, you back down. If you don’t dare, then get lost. I’m afraid that if disaster strikes when you’re too close to me, I’ll get caught up in it."

Philip almost choked on his breath, and everyone else looked shocked, as if they were seeing me in a new light.

Just then, Brandon’s supervisor, Nicole Cooper, came out and said, "William, Brandon messed up, and you’ve proven yourself with your skills. We all know you earned that deal fair and square. Let’s leave it at that. We’re colleagues after all. No need to make it awkward between us in the future."

"Ms. Cooper, why didn’t you speak up when Brandon was smearing me behind my back? Why didn’t you say this then?"

Don’t think that you can control me just because you look a little attractive.

Today, I must make Brandon fulfill the bet.

Words are the most powerful weapon. Slip-ups reveal true intentions. If I go easy on Brandon now, it’ll only lead to trouble later.

How could I miss such a good opportunity to establish authority?
