Chapter 2475: Chapter 2475: Draining the Glass of Red Wine in One Go
Jasmine Yale smiled, drew back her thoughts, and took a sip of coffee.
Actually, Amelia was right; Will Caddel’s conversation, demeanor, and mannerisms are unmatched by ordinary people.
Jasmine Yale suddenly felt conflicted; should she return that handkerchief or not?
It’s been so many days, Will Caddel has probably long forgotten. If she returns it now, it might seem like she has ulterior motives.
Then she decided not to return it, he surely doesn’t care about it.
Jasmine Yale made the decision privately not to return the handkerchief to Will Caddel.
A few female colleagues were chatting noisily in the pantry. Jasmine Yale finished her cup of coffee and returned to the office to continue working on unfinished tasks.
She hadn’t finished a report when the picky manager from the marketing department appeared at her desk.
"Jasmine Yale, I have a dinner appointment with the chairman of Sam Group tonight, which will involve the merger case. You’re coming with me." The male manager said seriously.
"Tonight?"
"Of course!"
"Understood."
"Hmm, I thought you’d try to avoid it, newbie. Be serious. Opportunities are what you make of them. If you try to avoid it, I’ll give the chance to someone else."
"I’ll be serious."
"Prepare the materials, don’t get flustered when the time comes."
"Understood." Jasmine Yale responded respectfully.
The manager quickly left, and Jasmine Yale started to pull out the relevant documents for the merger case, organizing useful materials into a folder.
The manager’s willingness to take her to the dinner indicated that he valued her—just having her there was a form of grooming.
Jasmine Yale knew she needed to seize the opportunity, although... she felt a bit regretful that she couldn’t play with Little Clementine tonight.
...
The dinner was set in a luxurious hotel.
This place often hosted important meetings.
The private room was grand and spacious; both parties had brought a significant number of people, filling an entire table.
Jasmine Yale was the most inconspicuous figure, with no speaking role; the manager brought her purely to fill numbers, to let her gain experience and broaden her horizons.
Jasmine Yale indeed hadn’t attended many such dinners before; while working at James Group, she was pregnant and not suited for such occasions.
Now that she had the opportunity, she obviously wouldn’t miss it.
Even though she had no speaking role, Jasmine Yale continued to act as a secretary, memorizing all the important details they discussed.
As she lowered her head to drink the wine in her glass, the other party’s manager seemed to notice her and smiled, "Miss Yale hasn’t said much; what do you think about this merger case?"
All eyes at the table turned towards her.
Jasmine Yale was initially stunned, then smiled and said, "I think this merger cooperation case is very perfect, especially with the measures you’ve devised—they’re pinpoint accurate and thoroughly detailed. Our ZR Group doesn’t have to spend too much time; collaborating with a company like yours is our honor."
"Haha, you’re quite articulate; how about a toast?"
"I wouldn’t dare." Jasmine Yale quickly stood up, holding her glass, "I should be the one to toast to you, hoping for your continued support."
In the world of socializing, drinking is unavoidable, something Jasmine Yale understood when she joined the marketing department.
Thus, she was neither shy nor nervous and drank the red wine in her glass in one go.
"Miss Yale is straightforward; I appreciate girls like you, not at all pretentious. Drink when needed. With such an open-minded employee, your company is certainly reliable, it’s our honor to collaborate with you!"
