Chapter63 Thinking about the evening banquet , I was somewhat absent - minded while working during the day . Fortunately , the work was all very simple , just some printing and organizing and binding of documents . Time always flies when you are at work , and before you know it , it's time to clock out . I was ready to leave after tidying up my desk , but I didn't expect to be called by the CEO again .
There was an additional person in the president's office today , apart from the president - the secretary team leader . Mr. Pruitt smiled at me and said , " We will be going to negotiate with our business partners tomorrow . This is your first time working on this project , so let's have a small meeting . I will ask Secretary Marissa to teach you some tips . " As Mr. Pruitt finished speaking , Marissa nodded at me friendly . I hurriedly said , " Okay , thank you Mr.
Pruitt , thank you , Marissa . " Marissa was indeed experienced , every sentence hit the nail on the head With her analysis , I gained a rough understanding of the project . The meeting had only been going on for twenty minutes when my " phone rang . The crisp sound of a cellphone ringing seemed particularly abrupt in the CEO's office , and it also interrupted Marissa's speech . Marissa furrowed his brows , with a displeased expression on his face .
The president smiled kindly at me and said , " It's okay , you can answer the phone first . " I silently hung up the phone and put it on silent mode . I was a newcomer with no experience at all . It was my honor and something that others couldn't even hope for that the CEO was willing to give me this opportunity to grow and learn . I should have cherished them and not let them down . I said to Marissa , " Marissa , please continue .

" Marissa glanced at the CEO and then nodded at me before continuing the previous topic . The small meeting lasted for an hour and then ended . I took notes on the key points and communication techniques that Marissa spoke about . Although the meeting lasted only for a short hour , I felt greatly benefited . When I came out of the president's office , I looked outside and noticed that the sky had gradually darkened . I quickly took out my phone to check .
It is strange that there was not a single missed call on the phone . I thought I didn't answer Reynaldo's call , and that man would definitely keep calling . just like that afternoon . Except for the one I declined , he didn't make any more calls . I don't know why , but he was like this , and it made me even more anxious . I got into the car , started the engine , and called him back while doing SO . He didn't answer even though I called him twice in a row .
I didn't know if he was angry , deliberately not answering my phone calls . He was still busy with the Humphrey family and didn't hear the phone ringing . I was hoping it would be the latter . At this moment , the neon lights lit up . There were many cars and pedestrians on the road , and I got stuck in traffic for a while . When I returned to the villa , it was already almost 8 o'clock . The courtyard was quict , and the villa was pitch black , as if there was not a single person .
I breathed a sigh of relief , it seemed that Reynaldo had already gone to the Humphrey family He must have thought that I was deliberately avoiding not going to the Humphrey family . It doesn't matter what he thought . I got off the car while tidying up my bag , thinking to myself that Reynaldo is not here tonight , so I can have more time to study this project . However , as soon as I reached the entrance gate , a strong force suddenly grabbed me and slammed me hard against the door panel .
I exclaimed and then realized that the person in front of me was Reynaldo . Under the dim light , his face looked sinister and somewhat terrifying . The crimson eyes were filled with obvious hostility and hatred . My heart tightened instantly , and I exclaimed in astonishment , " You … you haven't gone to the Humphrey family yet . " He pressed down on my shoulder tightly , the force was so strong that it felt like he wanted to crush my shoulder .
He spoke in a deep voice , his voice as cold as frost , " Why did you refuse my call ? " " Sorry , I was in a meeting at that time , I … " " Meeting ? " Reynaldo chuckled coldly , his laughter filled with sarcasm . " You , a newcomer who just arrived at the company three days ago , do you have the qualification to attend a meeting ? Esmeralda , if you're going to lie , at least make it believable . Do you really think I'm that gullible ? "
