Chapter 85 You’ll Be Repelled

“A million? Do you really think I’m that cheap?”

“You jerk, how long have you been in New York? A million isn’t enough for you?” Jennifer mocked him.

But then Daniel clammed up again?

Jennifer stomped her foot in frustration. Thump!

“What, struck a nerve, did I? Did I insult your so–called ego? Or are you just dumbstruck by that number, not sure what to say next?”

“A million? Even if you offered me a hundred million, I wouldn’t help you, it’s never gonna happen! If you want to get that TMO contract, you’ll need to win Jessica over with sincerity and your skills. Otherwise, you can forget about it. That’s my final piece of advice to you!”

Jennifer was dumbfounded by Daniel’s words.

“You… you dare lecture me?”

“I’m just giving you a suggestion. Be honest and fair in your business, don’t try to bend the rules. Only then will Lady Luck smile on you, and you might get that TMO contract.”

“You don’t know squat! You think just because you became an assistant at TMO, Jessica’s pet project, you can stay smug forever? Well, let me tell you, with your ideas and your rotten attitude, you won’t last a month before you’re kicked out! Jessica’s only using you because you got lucky with the Healthy Land collaboration. Once the collaboration with Healthy Land kicks off and everything runs smoothly, you’ll become disposable. Then what? Do you really think you’ll still have Jessica’s favor? Once she starts to distance herself, brace yourself to be fried by TMO!

You hick, if you lose your job at TMO, guess which company would want to hire you? Your best bet right now is to find yourself a safety net, and that is getting me that TMO contract. That way, even if TMO lets you go one day, I might consider giving you a job. You might not have the education or skills, but hey, I might let you guard the warehouse or something. I could pay you four thousand a month, which if I’m not mistaken, is more than what you make as an assistant at TMO, right?”

“I don’t need a job from you, and don’t worry, I won’t be fired by TMO.”

“Ha! You’re such an idiot. You have no clue you’ve already crossed someone you shouldn’t have, only spared because they’re preoccupied for now. But the day Jessica stops valuing you, that’ll be the day you get the boot from TMO!

“That person you’re talking about, is it Brittany?”

“Check that big brain! Looks like you’re not entirely clueless. You actually know you’ve offended Brittany? So, do you realize Brittany’s status at TMO?”

“I have no idea.”

Daniel shook his head, grinning. “Isn’t she just a secretary?”
