Chapter 178: Buying Perry Express!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Such things are commonplace in the business circle and the entertainment industry.
Many millionaires would usually work all day and night, and most of the time, they would be apart from their spouses.
Hence, many of them look for a replacement partner while at work.
In the business world, many bosses would basically get into affairs with their subordinates.
In the entertainment industry, many co-stars that play an on-screen couple would even sleep with each other.
Victoria knew that Arnold’s position in the company would be easy for them to keep their affair clandestine.
Jordan had also been very trusting of Victoria and would never check up on her.
Even if Jordan wanted to check up on Victoria, she was experienced enough to keep it from him. Arnold was also scheming and careful enough. The two of them would definitely not leave any evidence behind, and Jordan wouldn’t be able to find out anything either.
However, Victoria wouldn’t do that!
If it was Hailey, she might have agreed, but Victoria was not that kind of woman!
“Mr. Decker, I hope you will respect your wife and me! I won’t get into a clandestine relationship with you because I don’t like you at all!”
“And I’m not going to let my boyfriend down just for a job! Bye!”
Victoria pushed Arnold away and got ready to leave.
However, Arnold was still unwilling to give up, so he stepped forward again to stop her. “Victoria! Think carefully! I dare say that in the whole of New York City, I’m the only one who dares to hire you at the expense of offending the Huxleys!”
“If you miss this opportunity, there is absolutely no company in New York City that would dare to hire you!”
Victoria knew that Arnold was not lying. If Arnold did not have a little background of his own and wasn’t as smitten with Victoria, he probably wouldn’t have offered to hire her at the expense of offending the Huxleys.
Victoria said, “Then I’ll leave New York City and go to a random city to live a mundane life with my boyfriend.”
“Hahaha…” Arnold guffawed hysterically and said, “Are you still the Victoria I know? How dare you come to New York City for less than three days and then let yourself be compelled to leave!?!”
“I thought you would become the most beautiful president in New York City like you did in Orlando so that all the rich bosses here would bow down to you. I thought you’d become the queen of business in New York City!”
“But you’re giving up just like this?”
Victoria clenched her fists. How could she be willing to leave just like this!?! She obviously wanted to become the business empress of New York City!
She was not the kind of woman who liked to live a mundane life. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen to become the kept mistress of that old man!
Seeing that Victoria had somewhat wavered, Arnold once again spoke up tenderly.
“I know that your boyfriend is not very rich now, and I also know that you adore him greatly. I won’t vie with you for him. You’ll still belong to him at home. I just hope that we’ll be able to have a better time when we’re on a business trip.
Arnold was very close to Victoria. Looking at Victoria’s stunning face, Arnold could no longer help himself and kissed Victoria directly.
Arnold was old and experienced, and he had dated many women. Thus, he knew that many women may be stubborn and vehemently insist on sticking to their principles.
However, there were still ways to tackle these women through actions.
If Victoria didn’t resist him, it would mean that she had agreed.
However, Victoria didn’t give Arnold a chance as she simply slapped him in the face!
Smack!
Arnold’s glasses had been knocked off, and he stood still in place, absolutely dumbfounded.
Victoria said to Arnold, “I’m sorry.”
She then quickly walked out of Arnold’s office.
After Victoria left, Arnold silently picked up his glasses and secretly said, “What kind of man is he? Victoria is so in love with him that she’s actually willing to give up her career for him?”
“Victoria is really going to suffer from a good-for-nothing like him!”
An hour later, Victoria had already returned home. Still, Jordan had returned later because he had to handle the transfer of the house.
Today, he had given the Cayden and the Huxleys a tough time, which was also considered revenge for Victoria, who had been bullied by Cayden. Thus, Jordan was thrilled.
When he saw Victoria, he asked, “Honey, how was the interview today? Did Perry Express hire you?”
After Victoria saw Jordan, she leaped into Jordan’s arms and began bawling like a little girl.
In the past seven years, Victoria had never sought comfort in anyone, and she would secretly suffer in silence.
However, after getting together with Jordan, she was willing to nestle in his arms to give herself a sense of comfort.
As Victoria’s boyfriend, Jordan was really uncomfortable to see his girlfriend being so miserable.
“Victoria, what’s wrong? Did Perry Express choose not to hire you?”
Victoria said sobbingly, “Yes, no company in New York City will want to hire me.”
Jordan patted Victoria’s back and hugged her tightly. He had never seen Victoria being so aggrieved before.
“Victoria, don’t be sad. Trust me, everything will get better soon, and Perry Express will definitely hire you. They will make you the deputy president or even the president. You’ll definitely be able to shine like you used to in Orlando, trust me.”
Jordan comforted Victoria, who soon fell asleep in his arms.
After Victoria fell asleep, Jordan slowly carried her to the bed, put her down, closed the bedroom door, and then walked out.
“I can’t let Victoria go out there alone and be rebuffed again and again. She’s my girlfriend, and it’s time I do something for her!”
Hence, Jordan called his grandfather on the phone!
“Grandpa, I want to buy Perry Express!”
Jordan developed that idea not because Victoria was rejected by Perry Express today and wept in misery.
He actually had this intention long ago because he wanted to buy Perry Express to deal with Breezy Express, which belonged to the Huxleys!
He wanted to defeat Breezy Express with Perry Express and turn the latter into the top logistics company in the country!
‘Didn’t Hailey say that I would be considered a real man only if I took revenge through business means?’
‘Okay then, I’ll do just that!’
Jordan’s grandfather was a little surprised, and he asked, “Do you want to continue with your business training? Perry Express is more difficult to manage than Ace Corporation. Suppose you can turn it into a better company than Breezy Express after you become the president. In that case, I’ll consider your training a success.”
Jordan said, “Grandpa, I’m sorry, I don’t want to be the president myself this time. I’m doing this because I want my girlfriend, Victoria, to become the president of Perry Express.”
For the time being, Jordan wanted to continue to hide his identity and keep a low profile as the president of the second-largest logistics company in the country.
If Jordan really becomes the company president again, Hailey and Elle would probably be flocking to him the next day.
One would ask to remarry him, and the other would propose to him.
