Chapter 95
Tom couldn't deal with Megan. Megan was so coquettish and adept at pretending to be innocent. It was really... pleasant.
If only his wife, Phoebe, would act coquettishly to him like this, that would be great. Tom would be so happy that his heart would melt.
But he also knew that it was just his fantasy. According to Phoebe's character, it was impossible for her to act coquettishly to him like this.
"Cough!" Tom immediately coughed twice and said solemnly, "Megan, please pay attention to your behavior and diction. I am your best friend's husband. Please stop seducing me from now on!"
Tom looked very serious.
Stunned for a moment, Megan burst out laughing, "I can't tell that you're quite a hypocrite. Besides, because I'm Phoebe’s bosom friend, it was even more exciting. Don't you guys like to hook up with your wife's best friend? This is a very different experience.”
"I'm not joking with you! Now, I order you to let me go immediately!" Tom said with a grim face. Fortunately, it was office hours, and there were few people on the first floor. Otherwise, his image as the chairman of ZQ Company would be ruined by Megan.
Since Tom seemed to be really angry, Megan also began to be afraid. After struggling and releasing Tom's hand, she pursed her mouth and said pitiably, "Why are you so grumpy to me?"
Tom stared at her coldly and said, "In the future, don't hug me like this in the company. Otherwise, you will be fired."
"Oh..." Megan bit her lip and replied in disappointment.
Seeing Megan like this, Tom was a little sympathetic. But he was more troubled by Megan. Megan was Phoebe's best friend, so he didn't dare to flirt with Megan.
Fortunately, Megan didn't tell Phoebe his true background because of her secret love for him. Otherwise, he would have more troubles.
"Okay, go to work. I have no problem with you staying at ZQ's office, but you have to behave properly. Don't make such a fuss again.” Tom added.
Megan was quite happy to be officially recognized by Tom. At least, she could continue to work in ZQ Company at ease.
"Then can I be your assistant?" Megan's eyes were full of longing.
Tom directly disillusioned her, "No!"
"Okay..." Megan was disappointed again.
At this moment, Tom's phone rang. It was a call from Elliot. He entered the elevator as he answered the phone. Megan knew how to behave in a measured manner. She realized that Tom had something to do, so she stopped disturbing him.
She was happy enough that Tom allowed her to work in ZQ Company today.
Thinking of the scene that Forrest shivered and slapped himself in front of Tom just now, she giggled and became infatuated with Tom.
At the same time, she encouraged herself even more. Come on! She must win Tom's heart even if she could only be a mistress of him!
Not long after Tom returned to the office, Elliot knocked on the door.
"Chairman, this is the recent report of our company.”
After a few days, Elliot became even fatter. With a round belly, he seemed like seven months pregnant. As he walked, his whole body was trembling.
Seeing him like this, Tom said, "If you have time, you should go to the gym and go on a diet. People in your size are easy to get sick.”
Elliot was a little flattered when he heard this. The chairman was concerned about his health!
He hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes. What you said is absolutely true. I will get a gym membership card soon and go on a diet.”
Tom nodded and then began to glance over the information that Elliot had given him. Ten minutes later, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Good, you did well. ZQ Company is growing steadily.” Only then did Elliot smile. He immediately stood up and said, "It's you who has always given us good guidance. We just carry out your orders.”
Tom did not stop Elliot from flattering him. It was always pleasant to be flattered by anyone at any time or place.
Tom said directly, "By the way, I have something to trouble you with.”
How poor Elliot, who just sat down, was. When he heard Tom's words, he immediately stood up as if he had been electrocuted, "Chairman, please tell me!"
"You don't have to be so nervous. Am I so frightening? Sit down and talk. Don't make a fuss.” Tom said impatiently.
Elliot thought to himself, "Chairman, you are not frightening, but your aura is too imposing. You are like a towering mountain in front of me. How can I be relaxed?"
Elliot was also very depressed about this. At least he was a successful businessman in his 40s, but he was still like a primary school student in front of the young chairman. It was really weird.
Tom briefly said that he intended to take out one hundred million dollars to finance the Scott Family's SK Lighting. After that, he added, "It's not convenient for me to come forward. You do this for me then..."
After Elliot heard this, he felt very incredible. the Scott Family's SK Lighting was on the wane. Now that its capital chain ruptured again, it would go bankrupt soon. It was not worth ten million dollars now, let alone a hundred million dollars. Moreover, the chairman actually took out a hundred million dollars to finance it and only required 40% of the shares in return! This was crazy!
If it was anyone else, he would have scolded. This would be equal to throwing a hundred million dollars into the sea.
But this person was Tom, so Elliot didn't dare to do that. Soon, he understood that the chairman was going to spend a hundred million dollars to help his wife. OMG! The cost was too high!
What fortune did Phoebe have to be so favored by the chairman?
For a moment, he was a little jealous of Phoebe.
"All right, chairman, I'll take care of this!" Elliot patted his chest hard and said loudly.
Tom nodded and agreed. He deeply trusted Elliot's ability. Thinking of something else, he continued, "By the way, you will see me then. Don't tell others who I am. Just say that I'm a friend of the chairman of ZQ Company, okay?"
"Ah?" Elliot was a little confused.
"Is there any problem?" Tom's face turned grim. The powerful aura emanated from him scared Elliot so much that he didn't dare to breathe. He quickly shook his head and said, “No problem, no problem!"
"Well, that's it." Tom waved and said, "I'm going to work. You can go out.”
Elliot stood up, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he hesitated for a while and said carefully, "Chairman, there's something.”
"What's the matter?” Tom looked up.
Elliot said, "Rory from the TF Company wants to invite you to dinner and play golf together.”
Rory?
Tom's expression immediately became inscrutable.
Seeing that Tom was silent, Elliot thought he didn't know Rory, so Elliot quickly introduced, "Chairman, Rory is a business elite who just came back from studying abroad. It would be nice to meet him..."
