Chapter 44 This Is Going Too Far!

In the conference room of the Tapia Group.

Jazmine endured the strange looks from others and focused all her attention on the person who was

speaking frankly.

Even though she did not quite understand what the project manager was saying, she still tried to take

minutes. Sitting next to her was her superior, Aaron.

Giancarlo sat opposite her.

She always felt that Giancarlo’s gaze fell on her from time to time, and she did not know if it was her

illusion. She couldn’t help feeling a prickle of disquiet.

She began to wonder.

She thought, it must be that Giancarlo could not do anything with me for fear of Aaron!

Just as she thought of this, Aaron looked back at her, and Jazmine subconsciously smiled back.

The scene of the two of them smiling at each other finally attracted the attention of the people around

them. Consciously or unconsciously, people’s eyes fell on them. These people did not say anything, but

their expressions said it all.

Jazmine didn’t notice it.

After the conference, she sat at her desk and sorted out the minutes. Several people would cover their

mouths and laugh strangely when they passed by Jazmine.

If it’s just one or two people, Jazmine wouldn’t notice.

But several people passed by like this, and she had to drop what she was doing and stopped one

person to ask

why.

That person’s smile was even stranger.

“Ms. Gardner, I really admire you. You can win Aaron’s favor. What a role model for us!”

Jazmine’s face immediately burned, as if she had been slapped several times. She opened her mouth

and tried to explain, but then she noticed that Aaron and Giancarlo were walking over with a group of

elites.

Giancarlo stood out among this group of people, looking cold and handsome. Even next to Aaron, he

still looked so outstanding.

In just a few seconds, people in the office became so nervous. The footsteps were like the drumbeats

of the battlefield, hitting people’s hearts, making them unable to calm down.

“Among the Tapia Group, our president is the most handsome man.”

“If we have to compare, Aaron looks gentler. Didn’t you see that Jazmine blushed when she saw him?”

Jazmine felt she was occupied by humiliation. She wanted to refute.

The phone on the desk rang, so she had to answer it.

It was a call from Aaron, who asked her to go to the office.

Jazmine looked at the two secretaries who were whispering to each other. Seeing their fake laughter,

she swallowed the words she was going to refute.

In the general manager’s office.

Jazmine pushed the door and happened to meet Aaron. His serious expression changed into a happy

smile the moment he saw her. “Jazmine, here you are. The job will be a little complicated this time.

Come in with

me.”

As Aaron spoke, he placed his hand on her shoulder.

Jazmine suddenly trembled and wanted to dodge.

However, he heard Aaron say softly, “Stay still. Pay attention to Giancarlo later.”

What… did he mean? Jazmine thought.

While she thought about the answer to this question, the two of them had already walked in.

The voice in the office instantly disappeared, and the air seemed to freeze. Jazmine instantly felt that

something was wrong and subconsciously looked at Giancarlo.

Facing that extremely cold face, it was as if the air around him was about to freeze. Jazmine suddenly

felt a sense of suffocation.

When she looked at Giancarlo again, he had already lowered his eyes.

Everyone sat around the sofa. Jazmine was brought to one side by Aaron. It was obviously a double–

seater sofa, but when the two of them sat together, she felt particularly crowded.

Jazmine moved aside once, sitting with her body pressed against the armrest. She also stiffened her

back with

embarrassment.

Did Aaron not know what the employees outside were talking about? Why didn’t he try to avoid

arousing

suspicion? She thought.

She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she felt that Giancarlo’s gaze had become colder.

Aaron began to speak.

He always had a gentle attitude. At first, Jazmine thought that this short meeting was just a small

problem within the company. However, the first thing Aaron talked about was the merging of the

Gardner Group.

Even if Jazmine was present, she was just here to take minutes, and she needed to organize the

planning

according to what everyone said.

Among the people present, Aaron and Giancarlo knew Jazmine’s identity. Giancarlo would definitely

not allow her to get close to the Gardner Group, so Aaron planned to go out and bring her in.

Thinking of this, Jazmine gave Aaron a grateful look.

It happened that Aaron was also looking at her and smiling at her.

Crack.

It seemed that something was broken.

Jazmine subconsciously looked toward the direction of the voice and found that it was Giancarlo’s

direction.

Jazmine looked at it for a long time and couldn’t see what was making the noise. She knew that what

Aaron was talking about was more important, so she quickly buried her head and took minutes, and did

not continue to wonder what was broken.

The meeting lasted for two hours.

Jazmine seriously recorded the content of the entire meeting, but these contents made her feel

particularly

angry.

She looked at the line in her notebook, which penetrated the paper because she tried to control her

emotions

when she wrote it.

What she wrote was that the Gardner Group would be split and sold, and the Tapia Group would not

take

rubbish like that.

This was Giancarlo’s instruction.

Jazmine closed her eyes and suppressed the anger and hatred in her heart.

This was going too far! He had taken away her father’s company by all means just to destroy it. This

kind of behavior was so bad and disgusting.

There was another option, which was proposed by Aaron. It was to merge the company and dispatch

management personnel to manage.

If they choose the second plan, even if the name of the Gardner Group was changed, it was still there.

The workers that her father had trained were still employed. She would prefer to choose the second

option.

Thus, she returned to Aaron’s office.

“Aaron.” Without another word, Jazmine knelt in front of Aaron.

“Silly girl, what are you doing?” Aaron hurriedly went over to pull her up. “You are so silly. If you have

something to say, just say it. Why did this?” He said with concern.

Jazmine’s voice was full of pain. “Aaron, you are the only one who can help me now. What is the

possibility of the Gardner Group being merged? What can I do? As long as it can be of help, I am

willing to do it.”

She was at a dead end.

Her father’s painstaking efforts must not be destroyed.

Aaron sighed and looked at her lovingly. “You are the kindest child I have ever seen. Not everyone can

do that like you.

Jazmine did not speak.

Aaron thought about it for a while and held Jazmine’s shoulders with both hands, saying seriously, “I

can’t

answer it now. Can you wait for a few more days?”
