Chapter 153


    “Changing hands? Who’s taking over? You’re not kidding, are you?”


    “How could I be kidding about this? Also, you know the person who is going to take over. It is the cause


    of my headache.”


    “Are you saying that Eric Walker is going to acquire ourpany?” I let it slip. This is crazy! I can not


    believe!


    “My dear, be quiet! This is privileged information! Insider information, okay?!” When Jessica saw my


    overreaction, she quickly warned me in a low voice.


    “I was just surprised. Oh, right; this matter is not finalized yet, right?” I whispered questioningly.


    “Yes. That’s why it’s privileged information.”


    “Did President Smith speak about this?” I asked again.


    “How can it be? President Smith is a cunning old fox. He doesn’t say anything until thest possible


    moment. I guessed it myself.”


    “Is it just a hunch?”

    “I’m sure President Smith has his own thoughts. By the way, I just told you about it. So don’t gossip


    about it;


    this?”


    “I understood.”


    After Jessica left, I thought deeply. Among existingpanies, ourpany was neither the best nor

    office. So I immediately approached and President Smith motioned me to sit down smiling. “Lilian, I


    need your help with something today.”


    “President Smith, what is it?”


    “Well, that’s it… I have a proposal here that I would like you to deliver to the client.”


    Hearing those words, I froze in surprise. He asked me to deliver a proposal for a client? Is this not an
