Chapter 36 You Ungrateful Woman (Part One)
Alline was worried and asked "Are you all right? Do you want to have a rest in the afternoon? Jenny and the others will be responsible for the bidding. "He was too emotional to participate in the bidding.
The palms of Hiram were covered with sweat, and there was an indescribable pain spreading in the bottom of his heart. He looked straight at Emma, who was opposite to him, but she did not look up at him. She did not even save a glance at him, as if they were just strangers. At that moment, his heart was so painful that he could hardly breathe, and even his heart seemed to stop beating. Five years ago, a big fire had burned all his hopes. He had collected the bones of Emma himself, but now she appeared in front of him. Then who had died in the fire five years ago?
At the thought of this, Hiram felt like falling into an ice cave. He had been remorseful for five years, but he didn't expect that the God would make such a big joke to him again. She was still alive. He looked in the direction of the two, and Emma turned her head to talk to the man beside her. Looking at this painting alone, he felt calm and peaceful. But at that moment, his heart seemed to be tightly gripped. He stood up all of a sudden, but Alline grabbed his sleeve and asked "What do you want to do?" "Let me go! "Hiram said unhappily.
"Hiram, I don't care if she is Emma or not, but you can't go there now. You can do whatever you want after the bidding. "Alline stared at him. She had heard from Jenny that this bidding was very important and they couldn't lose!
If he left, it must mess up, so she couldn't let him go to find her now!
Even if she was Emma, that was still impossible!
All of a sudden, he grabbed her wrist with his backhand more and more tightly. The force was enough to crush her wrist. She frowned in pain, but didn't say anything, just looking at him with burning black eyes. "Alline, who do you think you are? It's none of your business! "Hiram, do you want everyone to laugh at you! "Alline refuted.
Behind him, Jenny was very worried. She knew what Miss Emma meant to Mr. Hiram, but he shouldn't have been impulsive at this time. And as for Mrs. Mo... She only hoped that Mrs. Mo could stop him.
After a long time, it was quiet in the meeting room, but they were oppressive and were in a stalemate. Looking into the eyes of Alline, Hiram finally calmed down and said, "I just go out to have a cigarette!" Alline nodded and finally let go of his sleeve.
Hiram then walked out, followed by Alline. There was something was wrong with him. She couldn't let him go outside alone. When they walked out of the meeting room, Hiram lit a cigarette, stood outside the French window and looked at the scenery outside. He took a deep drag on the cigarette, but because he smoked too fast, he choked and coughed awkwardly.
"Well, are you still worried that I will be impulsive? "Hiram heard the footsteps behind him and sneered coldly!
"No. I'm worried that you'll commit suicide! "Alline sneered back.
All of a sudden, Hiram turned around and stared at her. "Alline, you are too much! I asked you to follow me, not to satirize me! Now, get out of here. I want to be alone for a while!"
Alline looked at her watch and said flatly "Hiram, you still have one minute!"
"You..." Hiram was so angry that he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
"What? Do you still want to hit me? "Said Alline in a cold tone.
All of a sudden, he put out the cigarette and pulled the tie on Alline's clothes with one hand. His eyes were frightening and ruthless. "Alline, don't think that I don't dare to hurt you. If you really annoy me, I will punish you when going back."
"Sir, I believe you. "Alline smiled and answered. "There is one minute left! Are you feeling better now?"
It had to be said that after a quarrel with Alline, he was much better now. He didn't expect that this woman would help relieve his stress in this way. He looked at the woman in front of him in surprise and said, "I won't thank you!"
"I don't need your gratitude! We don't have time. Let's go inside! "After that, she turned around and walked towards the meeting room. Looking at her, Hiram had a touch of cruelty flashed through his eyes.
After they entered the meeting room, the bidding officially began.
Hiram returned to his seat and gently closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he had already calmed himself down. Jenny, who was standing behind him, suddenly touched him and said in a low voice, "Mr. Hiram, I just received a notice saying that there is something wrong with the Mu group's bidding proposal!"
At the mention of the bidding proposal, Hiram cheered himself up and looked at Colin and his companions, while Alline beside him was still confused and asked "What's wrong?"
Hiram glanced at her, with his eyes full of coldness, and said "Give me the bidding proposal!"
Alline was stunned, but she still handed it to him subconsciously.
Looking at a series of numbers on it, Hiram pursed his lips slightly, and then changed a few numbers. As soon as he finished, he handed the bidding proposal to Jenny, asking her to deal with the following things. She turned around and left for a moment, and soon came back.
The bidding officially began, and the remaining companies submitted their bids again. As expected, the Mu group had indeed changed the base price at the last moment, but what was not expected was that Hiram had changed the general price at the last moment. And what Hiram did not expect was that the final winner was the Guan group. At the moment of announcing the result, he finally found out the reason why he lost. He was framed by Emma. She appeared to influence his judgment and vigilance, so he didn't have time to investigate the matter of Guan group at the last moment. It seemed that Emma really hate him!
If he hadn't been in a trance, the Gu group might win, but everything had been over. Hiram even felt that if this was what Emma wanted, he could actually give it to her!
Back then, he owed her so much, and now a project was impossible to make up!
Some people were complacent, while some were disappointed. Some sighed, while some were happy. At the last moment, Jacob finally sent the information of the Guan group. The family was a new family in HC City in the past two years. It was said that the family started with real estate, but in the past two years, there was no news about it, which confused everyone. If it was not for this bidding, probably no one knew in the past two years came such a mysterious family that could compete with others silently in HC City.
All of a sudden, Hiram stood up. It seemed that the failure of the bidding just now had no impact on him, but Alline was depressed. She thought that the old saying went right-men were all fond of mountains and rivers but more keen on beautiful ladies. Obviously, he was the latter. The appearance of Emma had disrupted his whole plan. However, Alline knew that the company didn't belong to her. She was just a temporary assistant, and it had nothing to do with her if it won or lost.00000000
