Chapter 54 A Cute Avatar Makes You Approachable
Hearing this, Jared looked gloomy.
Cole quickly skied down and came to Amber’s side, asking, “Baby, is everything okay?”
“Yes, I am fine.”
“Glad to hear that.” Cole breathed a sigh of relief, shouting to the one on the slope impatiently,
“Hey, Ms. Gardner, hurry up!”
After Makenna came down, he said nonchalantly, “Don’t assume that I didn’t see what had happened just now. It was you who bumped into Amber!” Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
“Wearing a helmet, I felt that my vision was a little blurry.” Makenna bit her lips and apologized
to Amber, “Sorry, Ms. Reed, I bumped into you.”
“Amber was right in front of you rather than on the side. If you didn’t see her, you were blind!” Cole waved his hand in front of Makenna’s eyes, asking, “Ms. Gardner, you’re blind, aren’t you?
Should I help you get a doctor?”
“That’s enough.” Jared interrupted unhappily, “I saved Ms. Reed just now. And Makenna also apologized to her.”
Cole sneered, “Mr. Farrell, you also know that the course is steeply sloping. My baby, who is a beginner, got bumped by Ms. Gardner. If no one had saved her, she would have broken her bones! Can I assume that your girlfriend is committing an attempted murder?”
“Cole, don’t be so aggressive.” Makenna was so angry that her eyes turned red, saying in a trembling voice, “It’s true that I didn’t see her just now. If you continue to be so picky, I can go up
there and let Ms. Reed knock me down once.”
“OK!” Cole agreed, “Hurry up. Let Amber bump into you. And I’ll go save you. Then we are even!”
Feeling speechless, Makenna leaned against Jared, looking so pitiful.
With a gloomy look, Jared seemed to have been angered by Cole’s aggressiveness. Seeing this, Amber tugged at Cole, “Go. Let’s go back.”
“No!” Cole was upset, adding, “You had divorced Jared for fuck’s sake. And his girlfriend is bullying you. Why do you have to be so forgiving?”
Amber moved closer to him, whispering to him, “Hayden gave me the acquisition documents of Maxmatch.”
Hayden was on good terms with Jared. Whatever Jared asked him to do, he would do as he said without taking his collaboration with Amber into his account.
Amber did not want to let Makenna go. Even so, she didn’t want Jared to step in and her from acquiring Maxmatch.
prevent
Hearing her words, Cole grasped the pros and cons in between. Grunting, he no longer bothered with Makenna. Before leaving, he turned back and flipped them off.
Seeing this, Makenna was furious.
She had never seen a man who was as mean and cheap as Cole!
Staring at Jared’s sullen face, Makenna said in a low voice, “I was concentrated on skiing just
now and didn’t see Ms. Reed. I also apologized to her. But Cole was being so hostile. Ahem…”
She bent down and coughed a few times. And her face turned pale somehow.
Glancing at her, Jared couldn’t bear to be indifferent to her. Taking her into his arms, he said,
“With me by your side, Cole will only scold you verbally. He dares not do anything to you. It is too
cold. I will take you back to the hotel.”
“Okay.” Makenna hugged him with a small smile on her face.
By the time Amber and Cole went back to the hotel, it had been 5 p. m.
She went to ask the receptionist, only to be told that Myles Tam was in the chess room. So she went to him alone. She plucked up the cheekiness she learned from Cole and told Myles that she would like to acquire his company at a negotiable price.
No matter what she said, Myles wouldn’t agree. Finally, he got impatient, saying, “However high the price you offer is, I won’t sell my company. Just leave!”
He directly drove her out of the chess room.
Amber was torn, intending to call Cole over here. However, facing Myles, in her opinion, Cole probably won’t.convince him either however hard he tried. Moreover, without getting business done and negotiating with others in person, she would never learn from the experience.
Thinking of Z, she logged onto her WhatsApp account, clicked open the chatbox with him and
messaged him: Have you been in contact with the boss of Maxmatch, Myles Tam? He’s such a tough nut. Whatever the price I offer, he won’t talk to me.
After messaging him, Amber realized that something was wrong, wondering why she turned to him and consulted with him about this kind of matter. Shouldn’t it be better if she asked Hayden instead?
Amber wanted to unsent the messages, only to find that she couldn’t because of the expired
time.
At this point, Z replied: Myles is high–above and arrogant. He doesn’t like to let others take over his company and manage it. Previously, he asked for funds from others to save his company. It is because the counterpart wanted to get the right to run his company that he didn’t
agree.
Z: He didn’t get along with his father, which you can take advantage of.
Reading this, Amber was quickly enlightened.
Amber: While negotiating with him, instead of asking for the right to operate his company, I can raise the percentage of acquired shares or use his father to provoke him.
Z: You are so smart as to get my point right away.”
Z got back to Amber somewhat slowly on WhatsApp. However, Amber found every word he
said useful.
The negotiation tips revealed by Z enlightened Amber, making her realize how to avoid being at a disadvantage while negotiating with the boss of Maxmatch.
She sent a few more messages.
Amber: Hey goose, are you working for Hayden? Or do you run a company yourself? I see that
you are knowledgeable.
Z: Why did you call me goose?
Amber: You didn’t tell me your name. What’s the big deal?
Amber: I won’t delete your contact. So don’t delete me, okay? It is good to have a friend like you who is knowledgeable. I happen to need a mentor to guide me. I won’t take up much of your time for free. From now on, you can set a price on every piece of info you reveal to me.
In the hotel room, Jared read several messages sent by Amber, bursting into laughter.
Amber had helped Logan, so he revealed this info to her in return. Unexpectedly, she was
asking for more.
It took a while for Jared to get back to her: Well, good.
Amber: You are so knowledgeable and kind. You are as cute as your avatar!
Reading her message, Jared twitched the corner of his mouth. After existing the app, he called Ben.
Ben picked up the call quickly, “Mr. Farrell, what is it?”
“I entrusted you to take care of my WhatsApp account before.” Jared frowned while saying, “There are so many avatars you can choose. Why did you choose the picture of a goose?”
Ben said politely, “The goose looks cute and would make you more approachable.”
Jared was silent.
“Mr. Farrell, you managed the WhatsApp account on your own long ago. If you find the goose avatar an eyesore, why didn’t you change it?” Ben indirectly implied that he hadn’t done anything. wrong, “If you don’t know how to change it, I can teach you a little bit…”
“No need!” Jared directly hung up the phone.
Over the dinner, Amber and Cole went to the table where the boss of Maxmatch was.
Amber sat opposite him with a shallow smile, saying, “Mr. Tam, there are a lot of empty seats at your table. Do you mind if my friend and I sit here?”
Myles ate on his own, ignoring her.
“I know that you founded this company, cherishing it like your own child.”
Amber folded her hands on the table, saying calmly, “After Goldstone Co. acquires Maxmatch, I promised that the right to control Maxmatch will be in your hands and Maxmatch will run independently. I won’t send someone on my side to manage it abruptly.”
Hearing this, Myles finally raised his head and looked at her, asking, “Who taught you to negotiate like this? Your ex–husband?”
Amber was stunned.
Putting down the chopsticks, Myles said unhappily, “your ex–husband has been coveting my company, repeatedly sending executives to ask me out for dinner and negotiating with me. I am annoyed with him. After returning from a trip abroad, I came here to ski, only to bump into you!”
“I divorced Mr. Farrell a long time ago. It is another friend who told me about the acquisition information of Maxmatch.” Despite explaining so, Amber felt suspicious in her heart.
As for what Myles had said, the staff of the Farrell Group once had told her about this as well.
However, it was the man named Z on WhatsApp that had told her so.
She thought, “If what they had said is true, then the man that night… was Jared?“
