Lucy’s POV
Last night, I was able to get some good sleep.So, today.I woke up in a good mood, I went with Jane to
see Brian Jensen, the engineer she wanted to recruit Jane was mainly responsible for negotiating with
him regarding the future developments of Zhester Technology, as well as informing him of his position
and job description in the company .
On the other hand, was tasked to inform him of the details that Jane wasn’t authorized to tell him, such
as the salary and benefits package I was well aware of Zhester Technology’s bottom line, so I soon
found out Brian’s needs and expectations.
He was actually optimistic about the company’s future and was more than willing to join However, there
were already two incredible figures in Zhester Technology The company had developed to astronomical
heights thanks to Jane and Boswell.
They were in charge of the lab and product development of the company Any newcomer that would join
the company would likely find it difficult to gain authority and power I turned to Jane and observed her It
was her task to deal with Brian’s worries While they were negotiating she asked me to leave because
most of what they would talk about involved responsibilities and job functions.
Thus, I went to the coffee shop next door to grab a drink. While I was feeling bored, 1 noticed that Dyer
was here, too.
There was a laptop in front of him, and he was typing something attentively "Mr Coleman, what a
coincidence!"I walked up to him to greet him.Then, I sat across him, thinking this was a good chance to
talk to him.I had to use this opportunity to persuade him to meet George in New York at the soonest
possible date Dyer just shot me an indifferent glance and sneered, "I sat here first Did I give you
permission to sit with me?"
Just as I had expected, his temper was as terrible as ever.But, I had to keep my complaints in my
head.I stood up, bowed to him, and asked politely, “May I sit with you, sir?"
"No, you may not "
Dyer, merciless as usual, refused me I was about to sit down, but when he said that, I quickly bolted
upright.
Even though I was practically cursing him in my head, I still put on a smile and decided to sit at the
table next to him.
"My Coleman, I set up an appointment with you last week to meet Mr Affleck in New York sometime
soon When do you think you’d have the time to do that? I’d be happy to book the flight ticket for you Mr
Affleck is cordially inviting you for a discussion It’s up to you to decide if you’re willing to join Zhester
Technology of not But at the very least, you should give each other a chance I think it would be nice if
you could at least befriend him He’s a great man"
Right after I sat down.
I began persuading him to join Zhester Technology The company he was working for right now was
Zhester Technology’s rival in business Needless to say, George probably asked me to meet Dyer with
an ulterior motive in mind The reason he wanted to poach Dyer was to destroy his competitor’s
company and throw it into disarray And once he had caused damage to his rival, he probably wouldn’t
put Dyer in an important position I wasn’t some business genius and even I could figure this out, so
Dyer probably had an idea as well While I was speaking, I noticed that he just kept on working He
didn’t even bother to look at me I spoke so much that I began to feel thirsty I was starting to lose
confidence, but I had to complete my task Thus, I pushed on "I believe that meeting with Mr Alfleck will
be a mutually beneficial deal for you"
"How much commission did they offer you? I’ll pay you twice what they can pay Dyer was suddenly
staring at me intently "Huh?"
His abrupt question caught me by surprise Dyer pointed at the person standing outside the window
"Can you help me convince her to join my company?"
I looked at the direction he was pointing at and saw Jane standing there She had just finished talking
with Brian And from the looks of it, they had a good time
"Are you talking about Jane Campbell?" I asked.
"I am"
Dyer nodded firmly "Are you kidding? She will never betray our company"
Jane was one of the founding members of Zhester Technology.
just like George There was no way she could be poached easily It was easy to tell that Dyer was just
giving me a hard time! "Is that so? I guess that’s the limit of your abilities in that case, don’t bother me
ever again."
Dyer scoffed, shut down his laptop, stood up, and left the cafe At first I couldn’t understand why he
would make an outrageous request such as asking me to poach Jane But when I saw Brian and Jane
chatting happily, something suddenly dawned on me
The reason Brian came back to Florida this time was probably to see Dyer But then, Jane and i foiled
that plan No wonder he was so infuriated with me! I trotted outside to catch up to him and fortunately,
he hadn’t driven away yet when I arrived at the parking lot, I saw that he had started his car and was
slowly making his way outside I quickly ran in front of the car to stop him Dyer stepped on the brake,
honking at me repeatedly to show his impatience
Even so, I remained in front of the car, refusing to surrender "Mr Coleman, please give me one last
chance Why don’t we have a serious discussion first I didn’t stop Dyer because of my professional
etiquette I stopped him because I could get a huge commission if I managed to succeed in dealing with
him As long as I could get him to meet with George, the latter would pay me my commission,
regardless of Dyer joined Zhester Technology in the end or not Dyer’s annual salary would easily
amount to ten million dollars, and I’d get a commission of at least two million dollars
That amount of money was my annual income already! Why on earth would I give up the opportunity to
make an insane amount of money so easily? Annoyed, Dyer rolled down his window.
poked out his head, and shouted, "If you don’t get out of my way, I’m calling the cops."
"Be my guest," I countered.
I was certain that he wouldn’t call the police for something this trivial.
He probably just wanted to scare me away Dyer scoffed again, released the brake, and slowly drove
the car towards me When I saw the car drawing closer and closer, I pretended like I wasn’t scared,
when in reality, I was ready to cave in and run away
Fortunately, I was able to pull myself together and remain standing I closed my eyes, waiting for him to
make a decision He could either talk to me again or run me over with his car I heard him curse and
stop the car The moment I opened my eyes and saw the car was only inches away from me.
I knew that I had won the bet I trotted to the other side of the car, sat in the passenger seat, and smiled
"Mr.
Coleman, I am so sorry for the inconvenience, but this is my job All you need to do is to go to New York
and meet with Mr Affleck That’s it it won’t hurt, will it?"
I took out my phone to search for the nearest flight "Look! There’s a flight this afternoon and it’s first
class I’ll book it for you ** "Christ, where did George find a weirdo like you? It’s a waste that you
became a headhunter "
Dyer pulled a long face, but he acquiesced to letting me book him a ticket
