Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 419 Unfair Cooperation

Lyra walked out reluctantly, only thinking about the purpose of the man coming over. Javier looked around at the people present, and his gaze swept over Nina's face with a complicated look. At this time, Nina felt suffocated. "Do you know that Shen Qian wants to sign her?" She rushed to Javier in a few steps.

"Let's talk outside." Javier pulled her. Nina sneered and shook off his hand. "I thought you saw that she was good-looking and took a fancy to her. It turned out that you had planned to replace me long ago." "What nonsense are you saying!" Javier seemed to have been exposed and quickly pulled her out.

Nina hated him so much that she stared straight at his face. "Everyone else thinks that you are a genius in this circle. But they don't know that's all a persona the company has created for you. Without me to work with you, you'd still be a waiter..." "Shut up." Javier suddenly pressed down on her shoulder. His entire person blocked the lights and cameras above her head.

Under the haze, his eyes shone with a terrifying light. "Nina, you know me. Don't cross the line." His voice was cold and threatening. He tightened his grip on Nina's shoulder, causing her to frown in pain. "You..." Before she could finish her words, she was flung away by the man with a cold face. Just then, a contestant came out of the restaurant and looked at them in surprise. "You haven't left yet?"

A smile immediately appeared on Javier's face. "Nina is a little uncomfortable. I'll send her back to her room first."

"Do you need help?" The contestant looked at Nina's face. She really didn't look too good.

Javier glanced over. Nina immediately shook her head and lowered her head "It's fine. Javier can just send me off."

"You guys are so sweet. It's really enviable."

Javier smiled gently and took the initiative to hold Nina's hand. "Let's go." From the back, the two of them looked like both friends and lovers. But only Nina knew how hard Javier's hand was as if he wanted to crush her wrist.

In the office. After Lyra knocked on the door and went in, she only saw Hank alone. There were no guides or cameraman.

She subconsciously wanted to retreat but was stopped by the man. "Come in if you want to compete." Lyra glanced at him and did not give him a good look at all. "Mr. Barnwell, are you so free?" "I also have an investment in this reality show." Hank raised his wrist and let her sit down to chat.

Lyra only nodded and did not respond.

Hank stared at her and his thin lips parted, "Do you have anything to ask me?"

For example, the news about the Barnwell group, and his relationship with Ellie. Lyra seemed to have been reminded. She tilted her head to look at him and smiled. "Yes, has the prize for the first place in the competition been decided yet? Is it a bonus or a chance to cooperate with Mr. Carson?"

Obviously, this question was not what the man expected. "Which one do you want?" He said in a low tone, and he was a little unhappy. Lyra took a sip of coffee. It was a little bitter. She frowned. "It tastes really bad. It's better to have instant coffee." Looking at her disgusted eyes, Hank said coldly, "This is the coffee you drank with Xuanze the other day. Didn't you laugh very happily at that time? Now, you don't like it anymore. Miss Jones, your taste has become really fast."

"I didn't expect you to have this kind of hobby. You stalked, spied on me, and now you've interfered in the design world. No wonder those messy news about the Barnwell group are exposed over and over again." Lyra said indifferently. He originally thought that her words would make the man in front of him even angrier. However, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"You have seen the news about the Barnwell group and about me."

Lyra really did not understand what he was happy about. She said coldly, "It was all privately sent by mobile phone software without my permission. I have no hobby of peeping at your lives. Also, even if you invest in this competition, I have no obligation to sit here and chat with you." After she finished speaking, she got up and was about to leave.

"Your competitors are all thinking of ways to deal with you. Do you want to cooperate with me? I can let you win." Hank keenly grasped the focus of her attention just now. "As for the reward for the competition, I think that as an investor, I should be qualified to make some suggestions to Mr. Carson." His words successfully hit Lyra's soft spot. She wanted to win and wanted to get the chance to cooperate with Mr. Carson!

Lyra pursed her lips and her brain worked quickly. She had indeed already shed all pretense of cordiality with Nina. Moreover, she did not intend to accept the contract with JD.

Although that company was famous in the industry, she had long heard of some rumors. It was not as glamorous as it seemed on the surface. Looking at the interaction between Javier and Nina, she could guess something. She just wanted to do the design in peace and did not want to get involved in this mess.

Hank was not in a hurry. The look he showed was like a fox that had caught its prey. "How do we cooperate?"

Lyra turned around and stared at Hank in a daze. "Jealousy over me." "What?"

Ten minutes later.

The two of them walked out of the office together. Mr. Carson's assistant came over to welcome them with a smile. "Mr. Barnwell, why didn't you tell us in advance that you were coming? We've already prepared some tea. Mr. Carson will be here soon." "No need. I just came to see her. I'm leaving now," Hank said with a faint smile.

His tone was so ambiguous. The assistant was stunned for two seconds before he nodded and said, "Okay, then... I'll send you off." "I'll go back first. You focus on the competition." Hank said warmly, still smiling. Lyra looked at his face and felt that she could not suppress the anger in her chest. He was simply a madman.

However, what he had just said still lingered in her ears. "Cooperate with me and show me great concern and love. Of course, you can also refuse. The consequence is that you have no chance to last until the end of the competition."

A blatant threat!

"Be careful on your way." Lyra gritted her teeth and stared at him.

Carson's assistant was listening from the side the entire time... Hank smiled in satisfaction. After he left, he had someone send coffee and ice cream to everyone.

The news that he was flirting with Lyra began to spread among the contestants.

In the car.

Keith reported the latest news. "Vice President bought Dingyi Group's shares in his own name. However, he did not buy much."

"Continue to observe. Second Uncle has always been patient. He won't act rashly if he doesn't set up the bait." Hank undid the buttons on the collar of his shirt. Thinking about how Lyra had looked at him angrily just now, he chuckled. "Keith, don't worry. Send someone to bring Lyra three meals a day for the next few days. Try to make the scene as big as possible. It's best if everyone knows."

"Got it," Keith nodded. Although doing this would stimulate Miss Hunter and the Vice President so that they could reveal their intentions as soon as possible... However, no matter how Keith thought about it, he felt that Hank had ulterior motives.
