Diana stood up from her table and walked towards Chairman Nee who was busy playing a ludo game all by himself
"Hello there, chairman Nee. You mind me joining you?" Diana asked cheerfully and the old man huffed, thinking it's one of the heiress who are always trying to get his attention so they could win his favor over getting married to Aston.
"Oh, ignore this old man and be on your way, young lady" chairman Nee chided, still fully concentrated on his game but Diana took a seat before him with a grin whiplashed on her face
"Are you sure it's okay if I leave sir? There seems to be a lot on your mind and you look bored too. Don't two people usually play the ludo game?" Diana said cautiously, trying to strike a conversation
"You are a beautiful young lady" chairman Nee said, finally taking a glance at Diana "if I were in my younger form, I would've concluded you're flirting with me" he said in addition and Diana laughed
"Who knew you have a good sense of humor like this Mr Nee, I always thought you're just an old man who's good only in the business field " Diana said and chairman Nee chuckled
"Well, just so you know, as a business man, you should have a good sense of humor too. I mean, how else would you keep your clients company if you don't?" Chairman said and Diana nodded
"True. Well, are you okay sir? The BB cosmetics scandal is all over the internet, will you be okay? The B.I award is just around the corner and a scandal wouldn't do you any good at this time, no matter how small it is" Diana said and chairman Nee respired softly
"I know. I'd just have to trust my grandson with it, he's surely going to take care of it soon.By the way, you look awfully familiar " Chairman Nee said suspiciously
"Do I?" Diana laughed nervously
"Yes, you do. Have we perhaps net somewhere before?" Chairman Nee sniffed
"Well... probably! I manage my father's cosmetics company so we might have met in a general business conference since we work in the same line. I'm mos especially attracted to Nicholas Adverts ,it's a great company " Diana said
"What can I say? My grandson never lets me down" chairman Nee boasted
"Ahahah, I see you're quiet fond of your grandson, seeing how you can't stop talking about him" Diana said
"You are right, but he doesn't know this. He thinks I'm a strict self-centered old man but the business world is not as rosy as he thinks it is so I have to train him hard as the heir to the Nicholas Adverts " Chairman Nee said
"Oh,I see. About the BB cosmetics scandal, I think I have an effective solution, who knows? You might end up winning the B.I award with much ease after we pull it through..." Diana said and chairman Nee raised eager brows
"Let me hear it then " he said and Diana smiled
"Like I said earlier, I manage my parents cosmetics company so how about I launch the BB cosmetics under our company's name? We would organise a small giveaway event and distribute the products to at least 30-50 individuals, then tell them to report back after a week. I've tried the BB lotion and it works just fine so all we have to do is wait for their feedback then we announce to the public that it is the same BB cosmetics disguised under MCB cosmetics "
"That way, BB cosmetics would sell out more and Nicholas Adverts stock price would rise up too, it would also drive the people to vote for you in the annual B.I award since you would gain sympathy and praise from the society, then we can call it a double goal, what do you say?" Diana explained calmly and stared up at Chairman Nee for reply
"Why would you go to such extent for our company? Besides, don't you plan on joining the annual B.I award? It's every company's dream" chairman Nee said
"Of course! At the end of the day we might come third or second if you think about it "
"A company that helped out a colleague in their business line, they deserve an award' it's such a beautiful headline, don't you think?" Diana said and chairman Nee breathed in calmly
"I'm sure you're not doing this for free, what do you want in return, young lady?" chairman Nee asked and Diana smiled
"Well, why don't we discuss that later after everything is over?" Diana said, still smiling and chairman Nee sniffed dramatically
"That sounds suspicious, what if you request something I can't give to you?" Chairman Nee asked and Diana laughed
"Don't worry sir, I won't request for your head " she said and chairman Nee laughed
"You are one interesting lady. Do I get to know your name? Chairman Nee asked
"Diana. Diana Maxwell" Diana replied
"Oh, Diana Maxwell. You've got a nice name there miss Diana" chairman Nee said and Diana smiled
"I'm flattered" she said grinning from ear to ear
"Uh,wait! Is it perhaps.... the same Maxwell from MCB Groups?" Mr Nee asked upon realization and Diana smiled cunningly
She opened her back and brought her her business ID
"That is my contact, I hope your deaf grandson calls me when he's ready to cooperate" Diana said mad rose to go
"Co-operate? What do you mean cooperate?" Chairman Nee frowned cluelessly
"He would understand once you tell him that" Diana forced out a polite smile. "I'm sure yih would make the right decision grandfather, I've got to go now, take care sir" Diana cowered in respect and walked away
"What...grand... grandfather?" Chairman Nee stuttered and went crimson and a smile suddenly popped on his face "right, it would be so great to have a smart daughter-in-law like her" he thought aloud with a big grin on his face and resumed his ludo game
Just as Diana was about to step out of the VVIP lounge, a strong hand suddenly pulled her to a cornerside
"What do you think you're doing?" She yelled angrily immediately she successfully snatched her hand from the person, but surprise suddenly filled he haet as she got a clear view of the person
"Mr Aston?" She called out his name in utter surprise
