Chapter 160 Make Your Life Difficult
“Has the representative from Sentiment Chemical Limited arrived, Eliza?” Raymond inquired as he took a look at the time.
“I’m not sure about that. I’ll go and take a look,” replied the secretary.
“Remember, once he has arrived, you must personally escort him to my office,” reminded Raymond.
“Understood.” With that said, Eliza hurriedly made her way downstairs.
However, as soon as she entered the main hall, she noticed that a crowd had gathered at the entrance. Not only that, several bodyguards were about to charge at a person they had surrounded.
“Stop it! What are you doing? Why are you guys causing a ruckus at the entrance of our company? You’re making us look bad!”
Eliza marched toward them in fury.
The second Jeffrey spotted the secretary, he quickly waved his hand, signaling the bodyguards to disperse. Then he put on an apologetic smile as he said, “This man was causing trouble and even assaulted someone. That’s why I called the bodyguards over, Eliza.”
“Assault?” Eliza shot a quick look at Jared before turning to Jeffrey. “Send him away quickly. Otherwise, it’ll look bad on us when the representative arrives.”
“Sure! Right away! I’ll get someone to send him away now.” While nodding his head, Jeffrey waved his hand at the bodyguards, and they immediately surrounded Jared once again.
“Eliza!” Leyton smiled as he greeted the secretary.
He knew that he should be friendly toward everyone in the management team in order to secure the collaboration with Cosmic Chemical.
Eliza merely nodded in acknowledgment before turning to Jeffrey. “Is the representative from Sentiment Chemical Limited here yet? Remember to inform Mr. Green as soon as he arrives.”
Jeffrey looked slightly startled upon hearing those words. He immediately pointed at Jared. “H-He is the representative…”
The color drained out of Eliza’s face when she heard that.
She had witnessed Raymond’s uneasiness since early that morning. Although she did not know the status of the person from Sentiment Chemical Limited, she knew very well from Raymond’s reaction that he must be someone they could not afford to offend.
Upon realizing that the person they nearly drove away was the one she was waiting for, the secretary felt her heart skip a beat.
“Stand down… Get out of here immediately!”
Eliza hurriedly sent the bodyguards away. Afterward, she put on a polite smile and turned toward Jared. “I’m Eliza, Mr. Green’s secretary. He’s waiting for you in his office. Please follow me, sir.”
Jared nodded slightly in response before following the secretary toward the stairs.
The corners of his mouth curled into a smirk as he walked past Leyton.
Jeffrey and Leyton stared at him as he walked away, both baffled at the sudden turn of events.
“Didn’t you say that the Scott family’s collaboration with Cosmic Chemical is already secured, Mr. Leigh? If so, why would Raymond invite Jared upstairs?” Leyton questioned.
“It’s true. I’ve confirmed it with Mr. Green long before this. Back then, he had already agreed to collaborate with the Scott family. I don’t know what went wrong either!”
Jeffrey was equally as baffled by the current situation.
“I’m going up to have a look. So many people in this company have taken our bribe money. If I can’t secure the deal, I’ll make life difficult for you all!”
With Sandy in tow, Leyton walked toward the stairs, and no one dared to stop them.
Jeffrey, on the other hand, stood rooted to the spot in shock. As the person that took the most money and did the most for the Scott family, he knew that he would suffer terrible consequences if the deal was not given to them.
At that thought, he secretly followed them. Although he had no right to participate in the business discussion, he could eavesdrop on the conversation from outside.
Meanwhile, as soon as Raymond noticed Eliza bringing Jared into the office, his eyes shone as though he had just met his biggest idol.
