Enchanted By His Charm

Time passed, and everything between them had changed and could never return.

Irish felt so weird when she stayed with him.

A sense of hunger drew her back from her thoughts. Irish touched her belly and then took a look at the time. It was already midnight, but Joseph still didn\'t contact her and did not even send her a message.

He really went too far. Irish thought silently.

It was he who took the initiative to invite her for lunch, but now he didn\'t contact her at all.

Walking around, Irish passed by the store where she tried clothes a moment ago. And when she passed by, the clerks happened to look outside. After thinking for a while, she walked towards the store again.

After stepping into the store, Irish picked out the clothes she had tried on earlier and then sent a message to Joseph, "I am in the International Financial Center and tried several dresses. I have no money. Come and pay for me."

****

Two hours ago, at the Runestone Group meeting room.

On that day, almost all the senior managers worked overtime. They were busy with the new products. Advertisement of later packages and going to market proceeded step by step. However, a series of works made it stressful for everyone in the Runestone Group.

Except for the marketing of the new products, Runestone Group has been hurried in production.

Actually, Joseph never stopped being busy.

After putting his bag down, he just drank some coffee and then walked into the meeting room. He was in international meetings the whole morning. After his meeting, the financial controller, sales director, head of the Creative Department, and director of the Design Department had been waiting for him for a long time, and now they began to report their work one by one.

Joseph\'s office was still full of people when it was nearly 12:30.

The Marketing and Public Relations Department director was also a capable and rash woman. She walked towards the office in high heels hurriedly.

Daisy was saying something to someone, and at this time, the director walked forward, "Daisy, please help me to make an appointment with Joseph."

Daisy didn\'t raise her hand and just looked at the time, "About twenty minutes later."

"No, I need to meet him now. I have something important to negotiate with him."

"Bella, Toby is talking with Joseph. Sorry, I\'m afraid that you have to wait." Daisy kept calm.

Bella was impatient. She seemed to be anxious, so she just walked to the office and knocked at the door.

Daisy was so helpless.

As she caught up with her, Bella had walked into the office already.

The report got interrupted.

"I\'m sorry. I have something urgent to deal with," Bella said directly.

Toby was a little unhappy, so he turned around, "Bella, the first request will be met first. You should know that you have interrupted us and affected my work."

"I\'m sorry. I do it for the profit of the whole corporation. If you do think that I am not qualified to grab time with you, you need to be responsible for the loss." Bella said impolitely.

Actually, such tough personnel was common in the Runestone Group.

It was impossible for one without making an effort or bountiful experience to be a department director. Nobody was easy to deal with, actually.

Talents tended to be haughty with a wired personality, so quarrels were not rare.

As a sales manager, Toby was not such a person of words as Bella. He had no words to say.

Joseph looked at the time and found that it was nearly half twelve.

He asked Toby to leave his files and let him go.

As Toby went out, Joseph glanced at Daisy and said to her, "You can go now."

Daisy nodded calmly and added, "But Joseph, I need to remind you that it is already noon."

Joseph knew it. Though his phone was beside him, he had to deal with these tough things.

As Bella sat down, his phone rang. He signed to Bella and reminded her to wait for him for a second. He took up his phone and found a text message.

It was from Irish. It read, "I am now in a mall. Come to pay for the clothes I am interested in."

Actually, nobody dared to order him in such a voice. Only one woman dared to do it this way.

As Joseph looked at these words, he couldn\'t help laughing.

"Joseph?" Bella was surprised at his laughing.

Joseph recovered himself and turned to his calm demeanor, "What happened?"

Bella knew that it was not polite to ask something personal, so she reported her work, "According to some media, Key Group intends to open stores in Bright Mall. Their stores are across from those of Runestone Group, and Leo deliberately made it a rumor that their diamonds were better than our group\'s in quality. This news will be highlighted in the newspaper next Monday when there will be a regular meeting for us with the media. And what should we do?"

Joseph frowned and put his phone aside. He also forgot to reply to Irish.

He hadn\'t thought that Leo\'s actions would be so hideous. More surprisingly, as a clever guy who was familiar with the morals of business, he would attack with his initiative and destroy the human rule of business. Actually, it was not his style.

He only wanted to annoy him? Joseph believed that it would not be so simple, and Leo was not so childish. "It was none of our business. We will have no reply." He just said lightly.

Bella thought about it for a while, "But it will not be easy to deal with the media. Obviously, Key Group forces you to express your attitude clearly. It is said that Leo will have his personal interview next Monday."

"Then I will congratulate him." Joseph still kept calm, and he added, "You speak on behalf of me at the regular meeting. I will not say anything about this."

Bella nodded.

Irish waited for Joseph for a long time.

She was nearly still in the store. The clerks were hospitable, smiling as sweet as ice cream. Nevertheless, they were clear that those who returned were mostly rich.

Customers should be respected. They dared not to be impolite to the customers.

This potential customer had almost tried all the new arrivals in the store, but she just didn\'t decide to pay for them.

Clerks in an advanced mall had a strong sense of service awareness, and they were also clever. As this potential customer hesitated, clerks tried their best to make Irish feel at home. Several young clerks walked forward with suits.
