The Man's Decree novel Chapter 165

Chapter 165 Getting Stood Up

When Maria heard that, she almost leapt with joy. She asked excitedly, “Really? Looks like Jared isn’t that useless.”

“Hmph! I think that he’s merely relying on the foundations we’ve built previously,” Zayne scoffed, thinking that Jared did not deserve the credit.

“Yeah. If we hadn’t worked on it beforehand, Jared wouldn’t have gotten the contract signed so easily,” Maria agreed as she nodded.

“All right. I’ll pass the contract to Mr. Jennings. He’ll definitely reward me. Perhaps he might even transfer me to the procurement department!”

With that, Zayne went to the general manager’s office happily with the contract.

As he was overjoyed, he entered without even knocking.

Right then, Xavier was in the middle of the call. Upon noticing someone barging in all of a sudden, he ended the call directly.

Xavier’s expression turned grim when he saw Zayne.

Knowing that he had just gotten himself into trouble, Zayne trembled in fear. He raised the contract and declared, “Mr. Jennings, we’ve signed the contract with Cosmic Chemical!”

Since this is an important contract, perhaps Xavier won’t be angry after hearing such news.

However, Zayne was mistaken. Immediately after he spoke, Xavier became furious. “Get lost! Get lost now!”

Then he threw a cup at Zayne fiercely.

Crash!

The sound of the cup shattering into pieces shocked Zayne, causing him to scurry out in fear.

Gritting his teeth, Xavier panted heavily in fury.

Hearing that, Hilda became a bit disappointed. “All right, then.”

Watching as Jared left the office, Hilda felt like there was a gap between the two of them. She could not understand Jared, nor could she manage to capture his heart.

After Jared left the office, he wanted to drive his Ford over. However, he suddenly saw Josephine sitting in a car and honking at him.

Since Josephine had personally come to pick him up, Jared kept his car keys and walked toward her.

“Are you so free that you’ve come to pick me up personally?” Jared asked with a smile after getting into the car.

“I’m just afraid that you’d stand me up. Mr. Grange has already reached. If you don’t go, I’ll be so embarrassed.”

With that, Josephine slammed her foot on the accelerator, and the car sped forward.

At that moment, Hilda was standing beside a window upstairs. She saw Jared getting into a red luxurious car that was driven by a woman. However, as she was too far away, she could not see what the woman looked like. She could not help but feel upset upon seeing Jared leave with a woman.
