Chapter 9

After lunch, I took a book and sat on a deck chair in the courtyard to bask in the sun. I was in a good mood. I sent a message to Aldrin explaining that Hector indeed knew my identity and Hector’s attitude. He quickly replied to me, as long as Hector doesn't hinder me, it doesn't matter. I know he is also considering whether to treat Hector as a love rival. If that is the case, let them resolve it themselves.

Moreover, I also want to see Aldrin’s expression when he faces Hector. It will be interesting.

I was flipping through the book leisurely, and turned my head to see Hector sitting at the small round table nearby, holding the computer and seemed to be working.

It was so difficult to enjoy alone time, so I turned sideways angrily. I felt that reading like this was not a good idea, so I simply closed the book and took a nap.

When I woke up again, the sun was almost setting. I had slept for so long!

Hector is still frowning and staring at the computer. I don't have the habit of snooping on other people's computers. I am thinking about how long it will take to be promoted to the position of director in MC. He will definitely deliberately let me be promoted as soon as possible. I am also very clear about my personal abilities. The conservative calculation will take about three years.

I already know the major projects of MC within the next five years. Four of them are very important and I must get them. After these four projects are completed, it is time for me to officially declare war on the Nelson family.

Fortunately, Hector only said that he wanted to get engaged and did not say when he would get married. However, just an engagement was enough for Nelson Group to win over some partners.

Based on Hector's position, he would definitely not allow my father to have access to his connections. He must have made it clear to his friends in advance. It seems that Nelson would not be able to cooperate with MC in a true sense.

In other words, Nelson Group's target partners should all be willing to cooperate with MC. However, Nelson Group cannot cooperate with companies that can really cooperate with MC.

With my father's temper, I'm afraid he will force me to fall in love with Hector so that he can help him persuade Hector to cooperate with him, but it's only a beautiful dream for him!

I calmed down, picked up the book, and walked into the house. Hector closed the computer and followed me inside.

"Miluna, I really need your help this time."

I was surprised by his words. Thinking that he seemed to be in a bad state just now, I followed him and sat on the sofa, my eyes falling on his computer.

In an instant, I remembered some not-so-good memories and wanted to reject him, but I saw him showing a rare expression of grievance and words written on his face. "If you don't help me, I will cry for you."

I was speechless and sighed deeply.

"I can help you, but I owe someone a favor again."

Hector saw me covering my forehead and subconsciously reached out to touch my head. I am even more speechless. Is it really okay for him, the initiator, to comfort me?

"You also want someone to help?"

I touched my nose awkwardly. His client this time, Fox Xavier, was very difficult to deal with. He was also a playboy. Fox Xavier had dealt with me when he was discussing the fabric business in London. After all, I still had a high-end order. At the clothing design studio, in order to achieve the price he expected, he did some not-so-bright tricks on me.

Of course, the consequences were serious. I learned about his competitors through understanding, and successfully negotiated cooperation with his competitors. In other words, theoretically, so far, Fox Xavier and I have a hostile relationship.

"I think it's better if I don't come forward this time."

Frustrated, I took out my cell phone and dialed someone's number.

The helper I am looking for this time is another client of mine, Esther Conrad, who happens to be a partner with Fox Xavier. I hope Esther Conrad can help me with this.

The call got through quickly, and I asked Esther Conrad for help as Becky White. She readily agreed and expressed her appreciation for me working in the costume studio and MC at the same time.

"Next, you just need to go see Esther Conrad. With her on the line, there shouldn't be any problems. But as far as I know, Fox is no longer in the fabric business."

"You were famous for cooperating with his rival. In anger, he switched to the lumber business."

Hector couldn't hold back his laughter. After seeing my warning gaze, he coughed dryly and suppressed his smile.

Therefore, he knew about this and deliberately let me know that he might deal with Fox next!

This person has such a bad mind!

I was secretly angry and decided that I would never get involved in any future business dealings with Fox!

"You really don't want to follow me to see her? Aren't you afraid that she will seduce me with her beauty?"

"You are not in line with Esther's sexual orientation, and if you really have something happen to her, Aldrin will be very happy because he has one less competitor."

I snorted coldly, he wanted to threaten me too, after all, I have no emotional foundation with him now.

However, I made Hector have some feelings about me because of a sentence I said when I was six years old, and Aldrin took such good care of me when we were in London, it was a bit immoral for me to watch them compete as a bystander.

I still need to think about this matter. After all, I am still young and do not want to get married so early.
