Chapter 119


    “Nice to meet you, Ms. Grey.” The man leading the team smiled politely at Rachel Grey. “I’m Joseph


    Zimmer from Ster Corporation.


    “Hello.” Rachel nodded slightly, indicating for them to take a seat.


    As the representative of this Ster Corporation for this negotiation, Joseph sat in the middle of the


    table, opposite of Rachel.


    On the other hand, David Jones sat at the side with his legs crossed, resting his elbows on the


    armrests. His slender fingers supported his forehead. Even though he did not say at word the entire


    time, it was still difficult to ignore his existence.


    Even Rachel, who was a few meters away from him, could feel the man’s fiery gaze on


    her.


    She cleared her throat and tried her best to ignore the man’s presence and focused on her work.


    Rachel and David had already agreed on the terms of cooperation on the day of the auction. However,


    there was a change in the ratio of shares they had previously agreed.


    The initial n was for Johnson Corporation to take 55% of the shares and Ster Corporation to take


    45%. But now, Ster Corporation openly requested 60% of shares.


    The project manager’s expression changed slightly when he saw the changes in the contract. “Ms.


    Grey, this…”


    Rachel nced at him. The project manager did not continue what he was about to say, but he looked


    at the Ster Corporation’s delegation with resentment.


    “Ourpany hopes to gain more profit. In return, Ster Corporation will undertake the design and


    construction. After themercial district is officiallypleted, Ster Corporation will carry out free


    publicity in all aspects,” Joseph said.


    In the early days, Ster Corporation relied on the media to make a name for itself. Even though itter


    began to develop in all aspects, its media section was still the best in the industry.


    Marketing has always been a costly investment. Now that Ster Corporation was willing to help


    promote marketing for free, Johnson Corporation would benefit significantly


    from it.


    Rachel closed the contract in her hand and said slowly, “We still retain the right to participate in the


    design and construction. To show our sincerity, we are willing to split it


    50-50.”


    Joseph was discussing with the people around him when he inadvertently nced at David, who was


    sitting at the end.


    Then Joseph suddenly realized Mr. Jones was staring infatuatedly at Johnson.


    Corporation’s Ms. Grey. Mr. Jones abstained from women but did not seem like his usual self now.


    He was like a good–for–nothing scion of a wealthy family.


    Those from Ster‘


    poration were engaged in heated discussions. Joseph wanted to seck Mr. Jones‘ opinion, but he


    realized that Mr. Jones was focused on admiring Ms. Grey’s stunning beauty.


    “I don’t think I can count on him…” Joseph thought.


    After a while, Joseph said calmy, “We are willing to withdraw from the early stages of design and


    construction, but we will intervene in theter stages of nning. At the same time, we will maintain


    free offline publicity. To show our sincerity, we are willing to take on the publicity of all the oflline


    products of Johnson Corporation. What do you think. Ms. Grey?”


    “Then we’ll do as you say!”


    After signing the contract, Rachel politely invited them to dinner. “Mr. Zimmer, if it’s convenient for you,


    we’ve reserved a room at the Hilton Hotel…”


    “Ms. Grey, my apologies. Ourpany has booked a restaurant, but only Miss Grey is invited.” Joseph


    smiled faintly and said, “I hope Ms. Grey can ept our invitation.”


    Upon hearing this, Rachel turned to look at David.


    The man raised his eyebrows slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his thin lips.


    Faced with such an alluring face, Rachel was genuinely powerless to resist. In the end, she nodded.


    When Rachel left the meeting room, Linda Galler approached her and said, “Ms. Grey, Mr. Adrian


    Johnson’s assistant is waiting for you in the office.”


    In order to differentiate between Tom Johnson and Adrian Johnson, Linda addressed them by their full


    name.


    Rachel walked into the office. The assistant handed her the key. “Miss, this is the key to the


    apartment.”


    “Thank you,” Rachel said.


    The assistant smiled faintly. “You’re too kind, Miss. Mr. Johnson has given me orders. Please let me


    know if you need anything.”

    Rachel replied, “Okay.”


    After sending off his assistant, Rachel poured a cup of coffee and walked over to the French window.


    At this moment, there was a knock on the office door. Without turning around, she said, “Put them on


    the table.”


    “Ms. Grey, are you thinking about me?” The man’s low and maic voice sounded beside her ear His


    voice was like the bass chord of a cello. It made her heart race
