Genius Son Sells his Mom to Dad

Chapter 203 A beauty

Leo reaches out and shakes hands with Fiona. He smiles and says, “Hello, Fiona.”

Fiona naturally smiles, “President Howard, actually I’m not a manager. I’m the daughter of President Thomas. He and my mother are traveling abroad these days and have no time to receive you, so he asked me to come here. I hope President Howard doesn’t mind.”

Leo is a little surprised. He didn’t expect that the beauty in front of him is the daughter of the president who works with him.

They thought she was a manager and didn’t think Fiona was the daughter of President Thomas.

But can she stand the test of negotiation and cooperation?

Fiona proves her ability with practical actions. She smiles and takes back her hand. She takes Leo and Claire to the reception room. As she walks, she straightens her back and says, “I’ve learned about President Howard’s intention to cooperate with our company. Actually, President Thomas told me that there is no problem with the project conditions. This time we mainly want to let you know about our tourism industry, so that you can understand our business development.”

“...”

Fiona’s words are basically useless. She doesn’t mention cooperation or request or any dissatisfaction with Leo’s terms.

She hoists Leo in midair. She does not refuse or accept. It seems that whether the cooperation project is successful depends on Leo’s words and deeds.

Is this a test for him?

Leo frowns but is calm on the surface. He asks casually, “when will President Thomas come back? We will only stay here for a few days. I’m afraid...”

Before Leo finishes, Fiona turns to him and says with a smile, “President Howard, don’t worry. President Thomas will be back in a few days. During this period, I will be responsible for acting as the guide of President Howard in City B and taking you to visit our scenic spots.”

With that, she opens the door of the reception room and holds out a hand to signal Leo to enter.

Leo goes straight in. Claire wants to follow Leo in, but Fiona stops her.

She smiles politely, but she is obviously unhappy and says, “excuse me, are you President Howard’s secretary? I have something to talk to President Howard. I wonder if it’s convenient for you to wait outside.”

She is outspoken and firm.

“...”

Claire looks at Fiona, puzzled, and then at Leo, who is walking in front.

Leo is already in. When he hears her, he comes back and looks at Fiona and asks faintly, “what’s the matter?”

“Nothing.” Fiona looks at Leo with a smile and says, “I just said that I need to talk to President Howard about the cooperation project alone. Is it convenient for your secretary to avoid it?”

Since it’s about work, why does Claire need to avoid it?

Claire feels that this woman definitely doesn’t just want to talk to Leo about the partnership project.

Leo raises his eyebrows and says indifferently, “it doesn’t matter. She’s a capable secretary. Let her in.”

“Really?” Fiona looks at Claire for a moment with a strange look, and she recovers. She says with a smile, “in that case, come in.”

With that, she takes back her hand and doesn’t stop Claire. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

But after Claire goes in, Fiona just sits there quietly. She doesn’t talk about cooperative projects as she just said.

She just sits there and chats with Leo. Fiona doesn’t even look at Claire.

Claire doesn’t care. She sits up straight and looks ahead.

Leo knows Fiona’s intentions. It turns out that she is upset about him letting Claire in. He feels funny.

Soon someone brings them a cup of coffee and a cup of tea. The coffee is brought to Leo. Fiona then explains, “I’ve heard that President Howard likes coffee for a long time. I’ve asked someone to prepare coffee for you. I don’t know if you like it.”

Fiona’s words let Leo and Claire know that she already knows Leo. But what does it mean for a woman to know so much about a man?

Leo and Claire are not stupid. They all vaguely guess what Fiona wants to do.

But Claire thinks it’s funny that Fiona knows that Leo likes coffee, but she doesn’t know that Leo is picky about coffee. Leo won’t like it if its temperature and sweetness are not right.

As Claire expected, Leo picks up the coffee and takes a sip. He frowns and recovers quickly. He puts the coffee down and says, “not bad.”

This brief comment makes Fiona think it is a compliment. She smiles happily, “I’m glad you enjoy it.”

“...” Leo smiles and doesn’t speak.

Claire laughs in her heart. She saw Leo frown just now. She knows he is unhappy with Fiona’s casual coffee. They are talking about cooperative projects, so he can only give Fiona a comment.

In Claire’s mind, “not bad” means average. It’s not an comment at all.

Fiona, however, is completely unaffected. She continues to chat with Leo and completely ignores Claire.

Fiona smiles happily and says politely, “I heard that President Howard has been engaged for six years but has not been married. Is it true?”

Leo freezes. Fiona’s words are obvious. If he doesn’t understand, he’s a fool.

Fiona likes Leo but doesn’t dare say it. She can only hint gently.

Leo feels helpless. He knows but can only pretend he doesn’t. He says plainly, “yes, I’m not married. Why does Miss Thomas ask it?”

“Ah, nothing.” Fiona smiles happily.
