Chapter 1086
“I booted him out. He was so oblivious, knowing I was in the room and still messing around.”
Rupin shot her a glance. “Don’t you go poking the bear. When he’s not around, I’m up to my ears in work. Do I look like I have time to play your silly games?”
“Not at all.”
“Good. Now, pack all the files on the desk Into the bag. We’re leaving.”
“Okay.”
As they left the hotel, Rhoda was dolled up, wearing a knitted miniskirt, arm in arm with Rupin, strutting past the front desk. Seeing Rhoda flaunting herself like this, Dorthy and the others were totally put off.
“Look at her. Makes you want to puke.”
“Totally. She’s like a cocky ignoramus.”
“I mean, she is annoying, but I’m kinda jelly she’s about to meet Mr. Harper!”
“Ugh, so annoying!”
They were all green with envy.
Once Chloe confirmed Rhoda’s departure from the Human Resources Department, she saw the others looking all doom and gloom.
“Why the long faces? Get back to work.”
Their faces immediately lit up with forced smiles. “Ms. Summers, Rhoda’s off to see Mr. Harper.”
Dorthy grinned, revealing a set of pearly whites, but her words were tinged with disappointment and envy.
Chloe sighed lightly. “You’ll get your chance too.”
Outside the new P City mall, several cars pulled up one by one.
Nate got out of one, quickly walked to the back and opened the door for Damon to get out. Dressed in a designer striped suit that wrapped around his tall figure, Damon exuded an extraordinary noble aura. Even from afar, he radiated a sense of oppression and dominance.
Several other men in suits also got out of the cars that followed Damon and greeted him. They were obviously company leaders who had come to inspect the place with Damon.
Stephen, who had been waiting at the mall entrance, hurried over with a group of people, bending over and jogging. Seeing Damon, he greeted him with a big grin. “Mr. President, glad you could make it. Let’s head inside, it’s cold out here…”
Damon glanced at him, said nothing, and headed into the mall.
Stephen was so scared his breath quivered. He whispered to his secretary, “Where’s Rupin? Where’s that little bugger?!”
The secretary shrugged, “I don’t know, Fritz went to the hotel to look for him! He should be here soon!”
“That bastard!”
Stephen was gnashing his teeth in anger. As long as they could serve this superior well, a comfortable life was guaranteed. But if they made a mistake, all their efforts were in vain! Such opportunities were once in a blue moon. And now, with Mr. Harper’s sudden arrival and finding him not at his post, wasn’t this asking for trouble?
Unable to hold back a curse, Stephen quickly followed Damon’s footsteps.
The mall wasn’t very crowded in the morning. A group of people followed Damon, whose aristocratic demeanor made hearts race. His calm and dominant leadership made people stop in their tracks.
The first floor of the mall was mainly jewelry and makeup counters. Damon casually browsed around, finally stopping at the Spotlight Beauty counter, where he checked out a few perfumes. He picked up a bottle of perfume and handed it to Nate for payment.
The elites behind him were taken aback by their boss‘ action. Was the boss buying perfume? For what?
They gasped in surprise. Did he have a girlfriend?
Nate paid nonchalantly, but couldn’t help laughing inwardly. Always supporting his wife’s business.
Just as Damon stopped to shop, Rupin finally caught up from behind.
Seeing his son arrive, Stephen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but still angrily kicked Rupin in the leg.
Rupin gasped in pain.
“Rupin…”
Rhoda followed from behind. Seeing the powerful aura of the elite team in front, she felt a bit nervous. But knowing that Rupin was in front, she felt confident. She was going to be a lady of high society, how could she be afraid of this scene?
With that in mind, she walked up to Rupin. As soon as she called out to him, she felt several strong gazes from behind.
Rupin heard her and immediately glared at her. “What are you doing here, buzz off!”
What a stupid woman, didn’t she see the occasion? How dare she run up to him!
Rhoda’s face turned red with embarrassment. So many people were watching. It was so humiliating. A middle–aged man who looked a bit like Rupin was also staring at her. She immediately retreated to the side, looking hurt.
“How are sales?”
A deep, indifferent voice sounded. Rhoda retreated into the crowd, only to see a tall man with his back to the crowd, looking at the sales clerk next to him.
The saleswoman’s face turned red. She opened her mouth, but it took a few seconds before she spoke. “Sales are very good… Winston’s recent appearance at the event has boosted sales significantly.”
Damon’s voice didn’t waver. “Isn’t it because the product itself is popular?”
Nate chuckled. Of course! The key was that your beloved wife’s perfume was the best!
The saleswoman nodded repeatedly, “Of course, the product itself is the most popular! Our counter’s perfumes are all designed by the internationally renowned perfumer, Star, and they are all award–winning works in international competitions! It’s a brand you can trust.”
Nate breathed a sigh of relief. This saleswoman knew what to say.
Damon nodded, “Not bad.”
Stephen immediately stepped forward to add more praises, “Spotlight Beauty has had the highest sales among all brands since the mall opened, and we have always been paying attention! Of course, other brands‘ sales strategies are also constantly improving…”
Damon responded indifferently and then turned to leave.
The moment Rhoda laid her eyes on Damon, her mind went blank, like she didn’t know a thing. Her gaze, like it was on autopilot, latched onto Damon. She’d always thought the aura of the elite group around her was pretty intense. But who’d have thought, just this one guy, could totally outshine their combined vibe.
His eyes were calm and unwavering, yet they packed a punch with an overwhelming sense of pressure.
