Standing up abruptly, Jaden caught everyone unaware as even his assistant didn't expect this reaction. Jean felt the change in atmosphere and raised her eyes to meet his gaze, "fuck!"
She cursed silently, took a step back reflexively and could only swallow back her words as her laughter came to halt immediately.
Who said she can't stop laughing?She can in front of this beast!! Her hairs stood up on the ends as she tried to keep the elegant smile on her face and stand her ground, but her thoughts were"Can someone tell me how this guy is different from a beast in the jungle!!
In fact he doesn't look like a cat anymore, he seems like a tiger eyeing his prey. Bloody son of a matchbox... Her thoughts were interrupted, "Mr Felix, your daughter is gonna suffocate."
A calm and warm voice, contrary to his rumored actions was heard and that was when Jean noticed that she had been holding her breath for quite sometime.
Alarm bells, oh crazy tiger, was it necessary to point this out?Now I'm embarrassed, but this is what she said to the people around her targeting Mr Grey of course."Such an honor to receive MR GREY'S concern!" "My pleasure Miss... Jean."
No one would have noticed the confrontation going on between the elegant fairy and the smiling tiger but Mr Felix who was near could feel the sparks flying. He could tell that his daughter was somehow angry but he really didn't know how to interrupt.
Jean was really screaming and hacking this guy into pieces in her brain, but no one could tell that she was embarrassed and she was trying to mask it with anger. Even Jaden of course hadn't noticed till he spotted a red tinge on her ear.
He was taken back a little, was this little fairy dragon angry and embarrassed? Not my opponent at all. Still a cub indeed.
Jean didn't notice that her sheer moment of anger, had caused someone to look down on her which was definitely a blessing in disguise because she won't be under his surveillance at all. "Dad, Mr Grey. I will be out for some fresh air."
Not even sparing her a glance, Grey went on looking at her dad for business. She was unworthy his time and that was his conclusion. In deed his requirements were sky high, even for opponents.
Actually, Mr Grey came to this party because this Felix family had something that he really needed but they were not aware yet and it was extremely important. Behavior of a businessman, striking when still raw.
"Mr Felix, can we talk in the study please." Jean's dad was a little surprised but before he could analyze," Mr Felix, boss doesn't really like crowds." Smooth, Carlos had been with Jaden for a long time and he was among the elites assistant.
Whether they liked it or not, Mr Grey would have this deal not really caring about the methods so best thing to do was to raise the price and demand some significant business deals in return.
Jean stepped out of the hall to vent her anger. Yes, she was looking for a punching bag. Whoever crosses her at this time, will take it all.
How can she be controlled like a puppet, crazy!! Hitting the flower vase beside her, it directly hit the center of the tree in the backyard before shattering into small pieces, one could tell how strong her kick was.
Busy venting when the culprit was signing a very important deal.
They lost a chance to become a terrifying force without even noticing. But of course no one can really guess what Mr Grey was targeting as they foolishly believed that he came because Madam Valery rescued Miss Grey one day when she happened to faint.
This was a fat piece of meat from heaven but they really didn't know, can someone please tell Jean to stop fighting those flower pots out there and come strike this deal for her dad.
Jean took a deep breath before she decided to climb a tree and just breath some fresh air to release this frustration. But before she could even start climbing, she heard light footsteps then a calm and steady voice was heard.
"Yes, that land..." Stopping her tracks, Jean hid behind the tree and listened carefully. Although eavesdropping is a bad habit, she wondered why someone had to be so discrete with a call unless it was very important. "Boss, must get it."
He had to receive this call from Seth Grey a close friend, guardian and blood brother to Jaden. He was that one person that could kill if Grey was hurt even a little bit and to make matters more terrifying, Grey really respects him even more than how he respects Old man Grey, their Grandpa.
Carlos wiped his forehead before turning to leave again, Jean could tell that he was Grey's assistant. From his call, she could tell they were here for something and they must get it. Fat chance!! But where was her dad?
Actually from the call, any normal person would not tell the deeper meaning. Lifting the hem of her gown, Jean almost ran back inside.
She scanned the hall impatiently but she didn't see her dad and Jaden. "Damn it! Study." That was the only place Jean could think off when she noticed the importance of this deal.
On the other hand after Carlos saw Jean, he texted his boss. "Boss, close it. Miss Jean is approaching."
"Mr Felix, I accept the price sign here." Jean's dad was still day dreaming but when Grey tapped on the table he signed reflexively. As if on cue, the study door was pushed open as an anxious fairy dragon entered.
Grey stood up and packed the contract before raising his eyebrow and made his way out," My assistant will be in touch for the follow ups." "Stop right there Mr Grey!" But who is Grey, he didn't even pause at all.
Actually he would have been flustered but, it was expected that Jean may come to check up on her dad.
Grey knew that Jean didn't mean to stop the cooperation, she just wanted to secure more resources for her dad but it's a pity if he gave her a chance. Some restless people from the Grey family may strike or even worse external forces may intervene.
Walking down the staircase, no one could tell what Jaden was thinking not even Carlos who knew the significance of this project. "Dad, do you know what you did? OMG!!" Mr Felix was actually surprised by Jean's reaction. "Has she gone crazy?" He narrowed his eyes a little, but when Jean met that gaze she felt like a deflated ball.
"Dad, you think I'm going crazy when you have just let go of a fat opportunity to be one of the elites in Phoenix country."
That was when something clicked in his brain, grabbing Jean he made her sit before he also took a sit. "Speak well." He was a well respected guy and several people tremble when they hear Felix but it was still a little lesser compared to the Grey's.
"This land is extremely important to Jaden and it was a must that he gets it." This one sentence was enough to make Felix understand everything that his daughter wanted to say. "Daughter, you want to know how life works?
Never regret your actions because it has already happened but what next? He will give me a list of business deals so I just have to select a worthy one. Don't worry, believe in dad."
Nodding her head, she again shook it immediately" Can you take me with you to select the projects he wants to give you?" Thinking a little there was no harm in taking her," Yes, when the day comes I will tell you early enough."
In the hall, Carlos was really frightened by his boss gaze. "Boss, I really didn't expect someone to be in the backyard. I'm sorry!"
But Jaden just raised his eyebrows and Carlos knew this was not the explanation his boss needed. "I should have made that call after we have left." "Go for the usual punishment after this."
Terrified, Carlos knew it was better to be punished in the red house instead of being punished by boss himself. "Yes boss."
Taking a glance at his watch, Jaden glanced at the staircase frowning a little. Just at that moment, Felix and his daughter Jean appeared to send him off. Who knew Jean would start talking before her dad does, "Handsome people should not frown often, it's an insult to God's work."
"I didn't see that coming," that was what Grey thought but he just ignored the comment.
"Mr Felix, Miss Jean. Thank you for hosting our humble selves, we will be leaving." Carlos felt like crying when Jean kept provoking this sleeping tiger but thankfully it didn't react. Jean gnashed her teeth but she had to nod her again, "Ignoring me, foolish tiger cat!" But anyway who cares she smiled anyway.
Jean observed the man who was walking away and felt like she had seen this figure and walking style somewhere but before she could recall well. The figure got in the low Mercedes and it drove away.
"Hmmph! I don't even care."
