Chapter 1440
“You shouldn’t drink with your clients too often. If you can’t get out of it, drink less.” Ian
paused for a few seconds, then jokingly said, “Or you could pretend to drink.”
She paused before sniggering. “Have you pretended to drink before?”
Pretending to drink was just a way to avoid drinking, pouring the alcohol into another
glass or just pouring it away when people weren’t paying attention.
That would be possible to pull off at a party with friends, but it was not advisable with
clients. They would think you were insincere if you got caught, and the deal might fall
through.
Ian chuckled. “I’m a man, so I wouldn’t be in danger if I got too drunk.”
Elaine paused. When she was at Beyond Tech, she was the owner’s daughter when she
went out drinking with the clients, so they were courteous to her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, it was different now that she was just another employee. Women got taken
advantage of because they had to drink for their bosses and make the clients happy.
It was bad for health, and there was a chance of sexual harassment. There weren’t a lot of bosses who would help
their employees.
She looked at him. “Are you always so caring to women?”
Ian was honest. “Every man should respect women.”
Respect and caring were two different things.
Respect all women and caring for all women; the former was about upbringing, and the latter might cause
misunderstanding.
‘Nice guys’ treated all women equally well, so it didn’t feel exclusive. On the other hand, men who respected
women could be ‘nice guys’ too, but they would keep a distance.
Elaine didn’t stay long and left the cafe soon after.
Two days later...
There was a report about the three biggest corporations in Hydra KLake being involved in tax evasion. The three
companies were on the top in Hewston’s Eastern Business District, but these companies had a solid partnership
with Synergy.
Quincy opened the private room's door, and the man inside immediately stood up when he saw Nolan. “ You’re
here, Mr. Goldmann.”
Nolan unbuttoned his suit, walked to the round table, and sat down. The man handed him a pack of cigarettes, but
Nolan declined the offer because he said he was trying to quit.
The man poured him a glass of wine. “How can I help you?”
Nolan looked at the red wine being poured into the glass. “I heard that you have some dispute with the companies
of the Eastern Business District.”
The man paused and looked up. “why do you ask?”
Nolan took the glass and swirled the content. “What if I told you I could help you take
over that area?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMr. Washington was startled. “Are you serious?”
“Yes.”
He looked at Mr. Washington and calmly said, “We’re on the same side. We both have a
bone to pick with Mr. Saldana.”
Mr. Washington was shocked but understood what he meant. “You were the one behind
what happened?”
Nolan drank the wine. “Mr. Saldana was dishonest and tried to ambush me while I was
in Hewston. I had to teach him a lesson.
“I’ll help you take over the Eastern Business District, which is beneficial to me. I have
to remove the obstructions in Bronze Bay.”
Mr. Washington suddenly understood. Mr. Saldana had offended Nolan because of
Bronze Bay, which was why he was going against the three biggest groups in Hydra
Lake.
Mr. Saldana was a shareholder of the three companies, and everyone respected him.
Thus, he could have his way. On top of that, Mr. Saldana had a good life due to the ten
casinos' messy accounts.
