Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband
Chapter 725 Warning Garrick âSir, what would you like to order?â The waiter placed the menu on the table. Without looking through it, Skyler randomly ordered a steak, a salad, and another bottle of wine. After the waiter left, he looked at Garrick. âDid Sofia tell you to come look for Shirley?â
He went straight to the point. Shirley, who had just managed to calm down her pounding heart, instantly felt her head buzzing. âPresident Brennan isââ
Just as she was about to explain the situation, she heard Garrickâs gentle voice. âIâm here to discuss our partnership with Miss Willson.â
âPartnership? What partnership?â This time, it was Skylerâs turn to feel confused.
Although Shirley did not want Skyler to know too much about her affairs, she knew that if she kept quiet, he would investigate them himself. By then, he would discover the relationship between Vincere Games and Veronica.
After contemplating the situation, she could only explain, âIâm here on behalf of my company to discuss our partnership with President Brennan. Young Master Skyler, this matter involves our companies, so we have to keep it confidential. Please donât ask too much about it.â
âWhich company?â asked Skyler.
Shirley kept quiet, not wanting to answer.
In the end, it was Garrick who responded, âVincere Games. You like playing games, so you must know quite a lot about this industry. Do you know Vincere Games?â
âVincere Games?â
Hearing that, Skylerâs eyes lit up. âI know them. Theyâre a very promising company. Their team was once unknown, but they quickly rose to fame. Alsoâ¦â
As he spoke, he suddenly stopped and looked at Shirley with a frown. âYouâre looking for sponsors?â
He was right on point.
Nodding, she responded with a hum.
âThatâs easy. Iâll go over to your company this afternoon.â
Now that he knew she had come here to discuss their partnership with Garrick, his sullen mood brightened instantly, as if the dark clouds above his head were all blown away.
Meanwhile, Shirley was speechless.
With a frown, she could not hide her anger anymore. âYoung Master Skyler, this is my job. I donât want to use my private connections to get the job done easily.â
âWhy? Are you looking down on the Robinsâ power?â
âOf course not. I came to find President Brennan because itâs what my superior ordered.â
âThen, shut up. Iâll contact your boss.â
Shirley was so pissed that she clenched her fists and felt a headache coming.
Yet, Garrick was Skylerâs future brother-in-law, so she could not throw a fit even if she wanted to.
âPresident Brennan, thank you for the lunch. I still have something to do, so Iâll be taking my leave first.
Weâll keep in touch.â
She could not stand seeing Skyler anymore and was afraid he would ruin the cooperation between her and Garrickâs companies, so she chose to leave.
âAlright. See you,â Garrick agreed.
She then glared at Skyler, but she saw him raise an eyebrow at her while wickedly smiling before throwing her a wink.
Though he looked like a rascal, he had a carefree and unruly charm.
The raging fire in her heart was suddenly put out because of his smile. Not only that, but she also felt her heartbeat rising.
How pathetic, she secretly scolded herself while angrily picking up her bag to leave.
Once her figure disappeared out the door, the smile on Skylerâs face immediately disappeared as he stared coldly at Garrick. âLeave her alone.â
His tone was slightly cold.
On the other hand, Garrick was not surprised by Skylerâs threats.
âYouâre overthinking it. We were just talking about business. As for your relationship with Sofia, that only concerns the two of you and I donât have any right to interfere with it, nor am I interested in interfering with it,â Garrick lied calmly while maintaining his gentlemanly front.
âThat would be best.â
Looking out the window, Skyler saw Shirley walking toward the parking lot and getting into her before she drove into the distance. His eyes might be cold, but a trace of affection could be sensed in them.
