Sky Group.
"Boss, I think miss White is taking advantage of your name," Jeff, Samuel's assistant, said after Samuel dropped the call from Emily.
"What do you mean?" the smile on Samuel's face vanished.
"I heard someone is spreading rumours that you are dating her?" Jeff answered.
"And you think that someone is Miss White?" Samuel looked at his assistant.
"of course, who else would benefit from this kind of rumour?" Jeff replied. He was confident about his answer. In the social circle, people took advantage of others whenever they could.
"is that so?" Samuel did not believe it; he had met Emily twice and knew that the lady loved her work; she was not the type that sought shortcuts.
"of course, she must have planned to spread the stupid rumours when she invited you for the birthday party. Now a few investors would give her face because of your name," Jeff tried to analyse the situation.
"I don't think she would spread such rumour. She would have gone for Eric if she wanted to use such a shortcut. Don't forget; she is not from country Kay; this kind of rumour would benefit her little. Moreover, a woman like her that takes her work seriously would not want her success to being attributed to a man," Samuel argued.
" then who else would spread such baseless rumours? " Jeff knew his boss's words were reasonable, but he was unconvinced. Whoever leaked the news would do it for benefit. He could not think of the help anyone else could get from this kind of rumour.
" ABM, we got the chance to buy Project Nabot over; although we are yet to make a public announcement do you think they have not caught the wind of it?" Samuel asked.
Jeff looked at Samuel. He could not follow his train of thought after all. Even if ABM found out, it still made no sense to spread such rumours.
" ABM, want to discredit project nabot," Samuel said. He did not border to continue to explain the situation to Jeff. "I want you to arrange the requirements for Steam to launch their products in the country; I want it in two hours," Samuel changed the topic.
"Boss, you want to continue helping her?" Jeff was surprised.
"of course, ABM is trying to make things difficult for Steam; it is only right that I support steam. The enemy of my enemy is my friend," Samuel said. Although this was not the real reason he was helping Steam, it was a reasonable excuse. "But boss. Helping Steam is like helping competitors," Jeff did not want his boss to get close to Emily. He had a feeling that she would only create problems for him.
"wrong; she would not be stealing my customers; her target audience would be ABM's customers," Samuel smiled. After ABM threatened his father and pushed him to retirement, Samuel had no plans of letting ABM go; he was determined to create problems for them. If one were calm, they would be stepped all over.
" I will make the arrangements, " Jeff excused himself. He understood his boss's plan; Steam would have to launch in the country so that people could see that the company was capable, and Sky group was not just supporting it because Samuel was dating Emily.
Although this news was fake, the best cause of action was to show Emily's ability. As long as Emily can prove herself, the rumours would die naturally. Even if it does not, the Sky group will not record any loss from the friendship.
"Jeff, is it true that the boss now has a girlfriend?" a female staff asked. Jeff frowned his brows. He knew that many of the young female workers had their eyes on Samuel; he did not just expect one to be bold enough to pry into Samuel's personal life.
"Are you paid to gossip and investigate the boss's private life," Jeff gave the lady a stern look. The female staff was unwilling since she did not get her desired answer, but she walked away without another word.
She cursed Jeff and Emily in her heart. "Sofia, did Jeff answer your question?" another female staff asked when Sofia returned to her desk.
"Go ask him yourself," Sofia was upset. She did not expect Jeff to treat her so coldly. Since working on the top floor, she has tried her best to leave a good impression on Jeff.
In her heart, she thought the two of them had become familiar. So she wanted to use their friendship to find out more about Samuel. She also believed that Jeff would be helpful to her goal of seducing the boss. Only moments ago, she realised Jeff might not be of any use to her.
"Why are you so upset? You were the one who boasted about having a good relationship with Jeff," the female staff who asked the question was offended by Sofia's tone; they were all colleagues, so she could not swallow her attitude.
Sofia bit her lips; she had wanted to create a good work relationship with her colleagues. She did not expect to start a fight over such a minor issue.
" I am sorry; it's just that Jeff spoke to me so harshly. He must have been in a bad mood," Sofia decided to swallow her pride and make peace. In her heart, it did not matter if she tolerated the people around her for the time being. As long as she leaves a good impression, achieving her goal will only be a matter of time.
" It's okay, " hearing Sofia's apology, the lady's heart softens. "Do you know what annoyed the Almighty assistant? He was still smiling before going into the Ceo's office," she asked.
"I don't know, but I think the Ceo must have been angry that someone was spreading such rumours about him," Sofia replied. She would rather believe that Samuel did not like Emily. Neither was he planning to date Emily; After all, her chances of charming Samuel would be low if he got together with Emily.
" Oh, " the lady nodded in understanding. Sofia did not know that this lady also had her eyes for Samuel and was only nice to her because of her close relationship with Jeff.
