Chapter 136


    Wynn was bewildered that Derrick suddenly contacted her and even offered to promote her to vice


    president.


    “You know?” Wynn asked doubtfully.


    ‘What would Philip know? He’s not employed in Beacon, and he doesn’t know Derrick.’


    Philip grinned. “Maybe he had a pang of conscience over what he said to you earlier, and he genuinely


    wants to apologize.”


    Wynn rolled her eyes at him and said nervously, “Don’t joke around, I’m talking serious business here.


    He’ll being here soon. What do you think I should do?”


    Wynn was worried about epting the offer to be vice president. After all, not everyone deserved


    to sit in that chair.


    “Don’t worry, I’m here for you. I’ll bust his pig head open if he does something stupid to you,” Philip said


    exaggeratedly.


    Wynn chuckled. Her eyebrows were curved and she looked very sweet.


    For a brief moment, Philip was transported back to the times when they were in school.


    Pure, innocent, and sweet.


    Derrick arrived at the cafe a whileter. He was panting and his forehead was covered with sweat.


    “Oh, Manager Johnston, I’ve looked everywhere for you,” Derrick sat down without invitation and


    shed a diplomatic smile on his face.


    When his eyes nced at Philip, they shed with mockery and condescension.


    Derrick hated Philip for what happened at the office earlier.


    If not for Philip, he would not have been outed as a cuckold in front of his employees.


    “Alright, Wynn, we’ll be talking about some importantpany matters. Can all the unrted people


    stay out of this conversation?”


    Derrick looked at Philip arrogantly.


    Wynn was surprised. She looked at Philip, though before she could open her mouth, Philip said, “Don’t


    worry, Honey, I’ll just be waiting over there. Call me if you need me.”


    Wynn nodded and watched Philip leave.


    After Philip left the scene, Wynn pulled a long face and said coldly, “Now can you speak truthfully,


    Chairman Hall? If there’s nothing else, I’d like to leave as well.”


    Derrick was instantly anxious. “Alright, Manager Johnston, I’ll get straight to the point then. Do you


    know Professor Henry Turner?”


    Wynn was surprised. She nodded. “I know, he’s the director of Turner’s Hospital. He’s renowned


    internationally.”


    She knew Professor Turner very well. She also knew that he quite respected her husband.


    Was the matter rted to him?


    Derrick smiled. “It’s like this. Earlier, Professor Turner called me and told me that Turner’s Hospital


    wants to coborate with ourpany.”


    “That’s good news. Let me congratte you in advance, Chairman Hall,” Wynn said with a smile.


    “I wish it were that easy. Don’t you know, Professor Turner gave a condition to the coboration.”


    Derrick stopped speaking, took a sip of his coffee, looked at Wynn’s confused face, and continued,


    “Their condition is, you can only be the only representative on our behalf in the negotiations.”


    “Me?” Wynn was surprised and confused.


    ‘What’s going on?’


    Derrick continued, “I don’t know the exact details, but Professor Turner mentioned your name. He says


    that he will only negotiate with Wynn Johnston. So that’s why I’m here asking for your help, Manager


    Johnston. Pleasee back to work, if only for the fact that you’ve been in thepany for so many


    years. I’ll promote you to vice president. I’m relying on you for the sess of the negotiation, Vice


    President Johnston. What do you think?”


    Derrick was extremely worried.


    He needed to confirm the coboration with Turner’s Hospital today.


    Derrick noticed that Wynn was hesitating, and continued to make more promises.


    “So what do you think, Vice President Johnston?” Derrick looked at Wynn expectantly.


    Wynn was silent for a while. Her eyes fell on Philip standing outside the cafe.


    ‘Don’t tell me it’s him?’


    After all, Professor Turner was acquainted with Philip.


    “Your request is a little too sudden, Chairman Hall. I’ll have to discuss this with my husband,” Wynn


    said apologetically.


    Derrick was surprised. He looked doubtfully at Wynn and shot an impassive nce at Philip.


    ‘Why does she have to talk to that useless bum?’


    However, Derrick did not voice his thoughts. He forced a smile and continued speaking, “Alright, but


    please give me an answer soon, Vice President Johnston. I’ll reserve the position for you.”


    Derrick was as honest and sincere as he could be.


    Wynn nodded, took her handbag, and left the cafe. She walked next to Philip and tilted her head


    toward him. “Philip rke, are you responsible for Turner’s Hospital’s decision to coborate with


    Beacon??”


    It was a direct question.


    Philip tilted his head over and grinned. “Do I look that capable? I happened to mention it in front of


    Professor Turner once. Why, does he really intend to coborate with yourpany?”


    Wynn did not suspect the white lie that Philip told her.

    Even if her husband was acquainted with Professor Turner, Professor Turner should not have been


    influenced by it when making his decision.


    Professor Turner must have done his research and decided that Beacon was the best choice. Philip


    should not have anything to do with it.
