Who Cares About Him When I'm Married to the Richest Man?-Chapter 68: Let’s Go to the Warner Family Banquet with Grandma
Elara of course knew that when he mentioned the contract, he meant the procurement contract, but she didn’t expect... it would be so simple and quick...
Is the contract going to be signed just like this?
Xavier curiously looked at her, "You didn’t prepare? I thought you were certain about this deal."
After all, it was someone introduced by President Fitzwilliam.
Elara felt a bit embarrassed and said, "I really didn’t expect it to be so fast. I’ll have my colleague send it over, please bear with me for a moment."
Xavier smiled and nodded.
Elara went out to make a call, and Vera thought she was out of her mind after hearing her, advising, "Elara, if the Warner Family’s partnership is lost, it’s lost. We just keep working hard, don’t be too upset..."
Elara helplessly said, "Supervisor Ford, it’s true, Mr. Chase from Fidelity Medical is waiting to sign the contract now."
Vera was stunned for a moment and suddenly screamed, "Wait there! I’ll send it over right away! Ten minutes, no, give me five minutes, I’ll be there soon!"
Elara laughed, "Supervisor Ford, no need to rush, drive carefully..."
Before she finished speaking, Vera had already hurriedly hung up the phone.
Elara waited for her downstairs, and soon Vera hurried in with Jean, the reception was about to stop them, but seeing Elara come forward, they quietly stepped back.
Vera grabbed Elara’s hand, "Where’s Mr. Chase? I brought the contract. Is he really signing today, so..." She glanced around and lowered her voice, "so hastily?"
Elara nodded, "That’s what he said."
"Then it’s settled!" Vera said confidently, "Let’s go find him."
The process of signing the contract was incredibly smooth.
Vera took out the contract, Xavier glanced over it and quickly signed it.
Even Vera hesitated for a moment before reacting, extending her hand tentatively, "So Mr. Chase, looking forward to a successful partnership?"
Xavier smiled politely, "Can these goods be prepared within a week?"
Vera quickly assured, "Yes, definitely."
"That’s good," Xavier said politely, "I’ll have my assistant take you downstairs."
Leaving Fidelity Medical, Vera felt weak on her feet, glancing at the sun that was indeed in the west, "Did we really just complete a month’s performance like this?"
Jean was even more weak, looking at Elara in amazement, "Elara, you’re incredible."
Elara said honestly, "I didn’t really do much."
Xavier came to her personally, she just introduced the product, and Xavier signed on the spot.
She really didn’t do anything.
Jean couldn’t believe it, "It’s alright, you don’t want to tell, we won’t force you, every salesperson has their own skill, I never tell anyone mine."
Elara was amused and exasperated.
Just then, her phone rang, it was Zion Fitzwilliam calling, Elara quickly answered, "Hey, Zion."
Zion chuckled softly, his voice deep and rich like a cello, "Weren’t you supposed to treat me to dinner tonight? Not done yet?"
Elara looked at the time, it was already six, she quickly said, "Done, what do you want to eat?"
Zion said, "Grandma has been asking me several times, wanting me to bring you back for dinner, do I have the honor today?"
Hearing Grandma Fitzwilliam, Elara’s eyes curved into a smile, "Of course, where are you now? Should I take a cab to meet you or come with you first?"
Zion said, "I’m downstairs at your company."
Elara was momentarily stunned, "I’m on my way back, wait a few minutes, I’ll be right there."
Zion’s tone was gentle, "Alright."
After hanging up, Vera and Jean both looked at her curiously, "Boyfriend?"
Elara never mentioned her previous marriage in the company, they all thought she was single.
"Friend." She smiled, without giving more explanation.
Too much explaining tends to cause misunderstandings, her private life doesn’t need to be disclosed to colleagues.
Vera and Jean clearly didn’t believe her, especially when they returned to the company and saw the stunningly handsome man at the door, their eyes filled with little red hearts.
Zion Fitzwilliam wasn’t wearing a suit today, just a simple casual outfit, standing there expressionless, but his superior features and overwhelming presence made him stand out among the passersby.
Vera and Jean winked playfully at Elara, she was amused and exasperated as she hurried them into the company, then turned to Zion with an apology, "My colleagues are a bit lively, didn’t mean anything by it."
Zion’s lips curved into a slight smile, "It’s okay."
He was enjoying it.
Elara sighed, "You’re always so magnanimous, sometimes I feel I owe you a lot."
Zion touched her head, "I told you, it’s alright."
Elara was struck dumb, oh my, so doting, are all gay men this boyfriend-material?
So capable, but why is Zara Dalton never like this? Could Zion be not the bottom, but the top?
Elara’s mind wandered until Zion reminded her, "The taxi I called is here, let’s get on."
Elara snapped back, thinking of the things she just imagined, her cheeks inexplicably flushed.
Zion puzzled, "Is it hot?"
Then he opened the window.
Elara felt awkward to tell the truth, so she silently nodded and brushed it off.
Soon they arrived at Grandma Fitzwilliam’s house.
Grandma Fitzwilliam was thrilled to see Elara, pulling her into the house to show her the gifts she prepared, "These are the two chickens specially sent from the old home, very nutritious, you finished the previous one, right? Just to replenish."
"These are freshly harvested American ginseng and various mountain delicacies, take them back and make some soup."
"This is the six gold items I recently had someone pick out, when you and Zion get married, our family neither gave a betrothal gift nor a dowry, it’s not proper, other things will be filled in over time, for now, take these six golds."
Elara looked at the box filled with the gold apple and gold persimmon as thick as a wrist, exquisitely crafted gold crown, and gold hairpins and necklaces, surprised.
She quickly waved her hand, "Grandma Fitzwilliam, this is too valuable, I absolutely cannot accept this."
The weight of these gold items was written there, a gold apple was five kilograms, calculating with current gold prices, worth millions!
How could she have the face to take this!
Grandma Fitzwilliam saw her refuse and quickly said, "It’s just a token of thought, don’t dislike it..."
Thinking she found it too little.
Elara was at a loss, hurriedly looking at Zion for help.
Zion coughed, "Grandma, let’s just put these away for now, you’ve scared Elara."
Secretly reminding Grandma Fitzwilliam they are now living a common life.
Ten pounds of gold apples was indeed too much.
Grandma Fitzwilliam said disappointedly, "Alright then, Elara, I’ll keep them for you for now, come find me for them whenever you want."
"Thank you, Grandma." Elara was embarrassed.
Grandma Fitzwilliam didn’t cook personally today, she was getting older; the first time was to show how much she valued Elara, normally the meals were cooked by the housekeeper.
The housekeeper brought the food and left, after the three sat down, Zion casually asked Elara, "By the way, Zayne Warner suddenly canceled the contract, didn’t you contact him to ask why?"
Mentioning this, Elara couldn’t help but sigh, "I did ask, he blocked me, I can’t reach him. Just forget it, as if it never happened, anyway, getting the Fidelity Medical partnership today is satisfying enough."
Grandma Fitzwilliam suddenly put her bowl down, "Zayne Warner?"
The young one from The Warner Family?
Elara curiously asked, "Grandma Fitzwilliam, you know him too?"
Grandma Fitzwilliam truthfully said, "Heard the name, haven’t met."
Elara nodded, "The Warner Family is indeed quite famous in Northgarde."
"Elara," Grandma Fitzwilliam suddenly looked at her, asking, "I heard the Warner Family is hosting a banquet this Saturday, I happen to have a friend who received an invitation but can’t go, so they gave me the invitation, I can bring a plus one, would you like to go with me?"
