Chapter 1182 A Real Surprise
“What do we do, Mr. Campbell?” the assistant asked anxiously.
After smoking a few cigarettes to calm down, Jacob replied with a frown, “Put a lid on this incident for now. At the
very least, keep it a secret from the guys in the room.”
“But they are very active on social media, so it’s impossible to hide it from them at all. Besides, Sann Group’s
representative will be coming over to sign the contract tomorrow, so spending huge amounts of money to remove
it from the trending page won’t do us any good.”
That was when Jacob got another idea. “Sann Group didn’t specify who they would be signing that contract with. If I
can sign it in Arielle’s place, then the credit will all go to me. Sann Group isn’t familiar with Chanaea, so they will
only recognize whoever shows up to sign the contract.”

agree to it?”
Even the blind could see that it was a ridiculously great opportunity.
“I want you to go in there and keep an eye on them. Make sure they enjoy themselves enough to not use their
phones. Do whatever you must to stop those who start checking their phones. I’ll give that b*tch a call and see
what her plans are,” Jacob replied with a frown.
“Yes, sir!” The assistant then went into the room.
“Where’s Mr. Campbell?” asked one of the directors when he only saw Jacob’s assistant returning.
“Mr. Campbell is off on his way to prepare a surprise for all of you!” the assistant said with a forced smile.
Before they could ask him any further questions, a bunch of hostesses came in through the door.
The sight of the pretty women distracted the directors so much that they forgot about Jacob instantly, much to the
assistant’s relief as he raised his glass and joined them.
Meanwhile, Jacob gave Arielle a call outside the door.
The call got through in just two rings, and Arielle’s mischievous voice could be heard on the other line.
“Mr. Campbell? My, this is a real surprise! To what do I owe the pleasure of this phone call?”
To receive a greeting like that from someone much younger than him made his blood boil.
Jacob tightened his grip on the phone as he tried his best to suppress his anger.
“Arielle, I—”
Those words had barely left his mouth when Arielle cut him off, “Although there is a huge gap between your age
and mine, I am still your superior at work. As such, I would prefer that you address me the same way you usually
do. I believe this will help keep things appropriate.”
Jacob gritted his teeth in frustration as he said, “Madam Chairman…”

wrapping things up here after the bionic arm’s press conference, and I don’t see you directors anywhere. Are you
calling to ask for forgiveness?”
She showed no mercy with her words, and it took every ounce of willpower in Jacob to maintain his composure.
“We apologize for leaving in advance. We just felt we could leave the press conference in your hands, that’s all.”
“Uh-huh…”
Jacob clenched his teeth as he continued, “I-In order to make it up to you, I’d like to help you take care of a task at
work.”
“Oh? Which one?” Arielle asked casually.
Jacob swallowed hard before replying, “Sann Group will be sending their representative over to sign a contract with
us tomorrow. You know how complicated the legal terms can be, right? Seeing as you’re busy with the restaurant
and the bionic arm, I figured I’d help you out with the signing of the contract since I’m a law school graduate.”
