CHAPTER 266: CHAPTER 147: IF YOUR HEART MATCHES MINE (SECOND UPDATE, COLDSTEEL GRACE +7)
"What I need to do is to push him from behind, so he can reach that point as soon as possible!"
Lawrence Winters waved his hand, putting forth his "strongest voice".
Lucas Harlow could only smile, thinking that this girl was most suited for coaxing.
Look at how she just gave a grand speech without letting a single drop slip, not revealing at all how she planned to help him "turn crimson hot".
This way, she remained invincible.
In the future, if he indeed becomes a big hit and reaches the top, she would claim all the credit without hesitation.
But if he never becomes wildly popular, she would also not hesitate to blame it all on him.
That’s how she could "use" him with such self-righteousness.
What’s more miraculous is that Lucas Harlow, who absolutely hates being used by others, surprisingly didn’t mind at all.
He glanced at Lawrence Winters’ stunning side profile, then silently moved his gaze away.
They were actually not quite suitable for each other because this girl didn’t have that mindset at all.
He had never courted a woman before and didn’t know how to please her, so he decided to go with the flow.
Lucas Harlow smiled slightly, his looks might not be as striking as Kenneth Osborne’s, but his features held a kind of indescribable charm.
She liked looking at his face, enjoyed his every smile and frown, because they all carried the flair and taste of money, mesmerizing and intoxicating.
The three of them signed the contract in Edward Foster’s office, and suddenly, Lucas Harlow received a call and hurried off.
Edward Foster escorted Lawrence Winters out of the office, smiling, he said, "You’ll need to revise your work plans in the future, learn well from Zoe Johnson, it’s great that she’s willing to bring you into the industry."
Lawrence Winters nodded, "Got it, thanks for the opportunity, Mr. Foster."
Edward Foster slowly leaned close to her, stopped just before touching her, and whispered in her ear, "...So, will you give me a chance then?"
Lawrence Winters laughed, flicking her finger, "Give you a chance? Are you expecting me to pay you a salary? Sorry, I’m a Pixiu that only takes in, never gives out, don’t think about conning my Silver!"
Edward Foster’s suave smile froze on his face.
Damn conning Silver!
Does this girl only see money?!
Edward Foster couldn’t help but get annoyed, leaned close to her, and said, "If you love money so much, why not try to con me? If you trick me, the whole Foster Consortium would be yours, why even bother working or earning money?"
Lawrence Winters thought, here it is, big uncle wasn’t wrong, men all think marrying a woman is just about buying her with money.
Because some women are just like that, marrying whoever bids the highest.
There’s no such thing as love in this world, it’s all clearly priced.
The highest bidder wins.
Lawrence Winters said leisurely, "That’s not right, why would I con you? Even if I married you, the Foster Consortium wouldn’t be mine... Mr. Foster, do you think I’m some naive girl hopelessly infatuated with romance novels about domineering CEOs? — Look at a small shop like KFC on the street and you’re going to acquire it completely, just so I can eat fried chicken every day?"
After saying that, she even laughed at herself.
Edward Foster was a bit dumbfounded, "...You look at KFC and why would I acquire KFC? KFC is a franchise, acquisitions are complicated. If I only buy a single store, that’s a transfer, not an acquisition."
Lawrence Winters: "..."
She glanced up at him.
Edward Foster lowered his gaze, with a clear yet puzzled look in his eyes, a strand of black hair falling just over one eye, like a handsome large breed of dog, both innocent and beautiful.
"...Um, not acquiring is better, I was just joking." Lawrence Winters resisted the impulse to ruffle Foster’s tuft of hair, turned, and quickly walked away.
Returning to her own office, she had just reviewed the contract when the phone on her desk rang, she glanced and saw it was Zoe Johnson’s number.
"Miss Winters, are you free? Can I come to your office to talk about Lucas Harlow’s artist contract?"
Lawrence Winters had just finished reading the manager’s contract, nodded, and said, "Sure, come over if you’re free."
A minute later, Zoe Johnson knocked on the door of her office.
"Come in." Lawrence Winters spun halfway around in her chair to face the office door.
Zoe Johnson opened the door, came in, and closed it casually, first saying to Lawrence Winters, "Miss Winters, I’m really sorry about the other day."
"You mean the incident with Becca?" Lawrence Winters smiled, "That was pretty despicable. What good did it do you to help Becca?"
"What good could there be? Just siding with the powerful." Zoe Johnson self-mockingly smiled, "I’ve been in this company for ten years, and in the entertainment industry for over ten years, I’ve always done it this way."
"And you, though you can repay evil with good, I still have to say, you’re lucky the person you faced was me. Otherwise, you’d be devoured without a bone left, because I still have a little bit of conscience."
Zoe Johnson sat down in front of her, took out a pack of women’s cigarettes, "Want one?"
Lawrence Winters shook her head, "I don’t smoke, and don’t smoke in my office either."
She pointed to a slogan on the wall that read "No Smoking", a nostalgic sign she deliberately bought.
Zoe Johnson smiled, put the cigarettes away, and said, "You just arrived and are in such a high position, you must know, many people in our company aren’t happy about it. Those people just don’t say it out loud, I just did what they want to do but don’t dare to."
"So you set up that trap for Becca?" Lawrence Winters curiously asked, "I don’t care about anything else, I’m just curious whose child Becca is carrying?"
"She doesn’t have a child." Zoe Johnson sneered, "However, Mr. Foster’s mother really wants grandchildren, that’s true. If Becca really had Mr. Foster’s child, she could indeed marry into the Foster family. You’d undoubtedly lose this act!"
"Really?" Lawrence Winters was dismissive, "What era do we live in? Who still climbs up with a pregnancy? Illegitimate children in wealthy families are everywhere now, right!"
Zoe Johnson sighed, "You don’t understand, Mr. Foster is different from others. Most people go abroad for college, but he went abroad with Mrs. Foster from kindergarten, and returned home at eighteen when he had to attend college."
"Meanwhile, he also parachuted as the CEO of NewHuman Entertainment Ltd."
"Four years ago, he was just eighteen, an eighteen-year-old CEO. Although he had the support of family background, with his father standing behind, to genuinely establish his own prestige in the company, he had to put in considerable effort."
"From that time, Mr. Foster’s reputation of being ’decisive’ became famous throughout the entire entertainment circle."
