Chapter 5470
Laurence’s secretary at Longtail Group was a man. He did not like having female secretaries, most probably to guard against them trying to seduce him. He was not interested in dalliances with women, and the only young woman he treated differently was his bodyguard Noelle.Misty wondered when Laurence would assign her elsewhere.She very much wanted to stay by his side.Just seeing that handsome face of his every day would fill her with motivation.If one day she could soften his cold expression and become gentle toward her, she would be able to shoot to the top of the social ladder in a flash.There were probably lots of people who had their eyes on the position of the lady of the Longbottom family.Manny did not know that Misty was starting to have a change of heart. After inviting Elliott to sit, they exchanged a few pleasantries before Manny asked in concern, “Mr. Durham, how did you get on with our new CEO?“He’s young and impetuous, so if he comes across as rude, please be

Once Laurence left, Misty led Elliott and Janet out of the VIP lounge.“Are you planning to head to Mr. Manny’s, Mr. Durham?”Misty had had a few interactions with Elliott, so she knew of the friendship between the two, which was why she figured that at that moment, he was thinking of dropping in on Manny.Manny was also waiting in his new office to hear the result of the talks between Elliott and Laurence.So what if Laurence said he knew Longbottom Corporation inside out? Elliott was not an easy one to deal with, and even he had to spend a long time before he managed to talk Elliott into being willing to work with Longbottom Corporation.Laurence had only just taken over, so Elliott was not likely to play nice with Laurence.If the talks fell through, Laurence, as their newly appointed CEO, would be embarrassed, and everyone would change their impression of Laurence.Elliott did not say anything, silently agreeing.Thus, Misty led Elliott downstairs to Manny’s office.When M

Elliott could no longer maintain his smile.Laurence actually knew all that.How many times he and Manny had met, how many of those meetings were actually for business, how many times for pleasure, and even the fact that Ms. Tindall beat him in their drinking contests.Manny had not told Laurence anything about their collaboration, but Laurence really did know all about it, and was even rather impatient with his habit of dragging his feet.“Our collaboration, uh, I have considered it carefully and decided to work with your company, and we’ve brought the contract too. Yes, uh, we did come today to sign the agreement.”Elliott had originally planned to play hardball with Laurence and get some payback for Manny, so he deliberately did not pull out the contract or express his intentions for coming today.However, Laurence responded with impatience, unbothered whether Elliott signed or not.This made Elliott lose his nerve and stop acting all high and mighty, fearing he might lose th

The last acting CEO was a lecher, and Manny was his son. The apple did not fall far from the tree, and where did the women who were played with by the previous acting CEO end up?Many people within the company knew.They privately cautioned her not to go down the road those women had trodden.Misty glanced at Noelle a couple more times before Noelle gave her a cold look, which scared her into lowering her gaze immediately and hurrying out of the VIP lounge.Despite being a woman too, Noelle’s gaze was simply too frightening.It was as cold as ice and as sharp as a blade at the same time.Plus, Noelle was tall and constantly wore a stern expression, and she dressed androgynously too. From behind, it was easy to mistake her for a man. Roxy constantly disparaged Noelle as a butch.Misty muttered to herself, “She really does seem like a butch type.”However, it was precisely this butch who held Laurence’s full trust and confidence. There were no young women around Laurence. Noelle

“Longtail Group must have caught up with Longbottom Corporation due to Mr. Young’s capabilities. As expected of the apprentice of such an outstanding master, it’s no surprise that Mr. Young is just as remarkable.”Elliott’s attitude toward Laurence shifted in an instant.Earlier, he was still recalcitrant and not taking Laurence seriously.The moment he heard that Laurence was Dr. Carden’s apprentice, he became much more polite toward Laurence and even sounded respectful when talking about him.Misty was not surprised by this.However, even without Dr. Carden’s reputation to back him, she knew Laurence was very capable, having been by Manny’s side.Laurence’s handsome face flashed in her mind, and Misty could not help but sigh in admiration internally. Laurence was the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life.She was Manny’s secretary because her alcohol tolerance was good. Her family brewed and sold wine for a living. She had grown up amongst the barrels, so naturally,

Misty whispered, “You heard correctly, Mr. Durham. Our company is still led by Mr. Longbottom, but not the one you’ve been dealing with.”“What? So it’s true? Then, Manny isn’t in charge of the company anymore?”Elliott lowered his voice as he added, “That Laurence Young is the CEO of Longtail Group, right? Did he really take over your company? Is he capable?“Speaking of Longtail Group… Both companies are in the same industry, so I suppose he can run a business, but he just took over today. Is everyone willing to accept him?“The one I’ve been negotiating with is Manny Longbottom, not Laurence Longbottom. What is there for me to discuss with him? What does he know?”Elliott clearly looked down on Laurence and did not believe Laurence would be able to close a deal. Elliott was even considering making things difficult for him.The main reason was that he got along with Manny, who had always entertained him lavishly, satisfying him.He was also rather fond of Misty.Whenever he c
