Chapter 10
Manon chuckled lightly, looking at Mia with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. She slowly said, "He really doesn't like onions."
Mia was confused by her words.
Manon lazily took a bite of her food and said, "I forced him to eat them."
"After all, being picky is not good," Manon added as she picked up another slice of onion and put it in Louis bowl. He ate it expressionlessly, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.
"He always listens to me, so I make him eat things he doesn't usually like," Manon paused and looked at the old man with some timidity. "Grandpa, you won't blame me for bullying him, will you?"
She said it beautifully, and the old man's expression instantly brightened. "How could I blame you?"
He praised with a smile, "Our Manon girl is amazing. I've been trying to change Louis bad habit for over ten years, but now he's obedient because of you."
"It's all thanks to Grandpa's teachings. Otherwise, Louis wouldn't have such a good temperament," Manon replied with a smile.
Mia sat on the side, feeling angry. She thought she had caught Manon's weakness, but instead, Manon gained favor with the old man .
The old man glanced at mia and responded to Manon's words with a peaceful expression. "You're a mischievous girl."
"Hehe," Manon chuckled.
Watching the situation, Mia gritted her teeth and stopped causing trouble, quietly waiting for everyone to finish their meal.
Not long after, Louis stood up first. "Grandpa, I'm going to work at the company now."
As he spoke, he lowered his head and looked at Manon. Their eyes met foa second.
Manon turned her head to look at Grandpa Malcolm and stood up shyly, "Grandpa, I'm going to send my husband to work."
"Okay, okay!" Grandpa Malcolm was happy to see their affectionate appearance, and there was no reason to refuse, nodding with a smile.
The two held hands and left the restaurant.
Mia sat in her seat, watching their departing figures with unwillingness, and hurriedly said goodbye to Grandpa Malcolm before quickly catching up with them.
Noticing Mia following them, Manon raised her eyebrows.
This woman is quite persistent.
Louis noticed her change of expression, tilted his head slightly, and also noticed Mia catching up from behind.
"Cousin , are you going to the company?" Mia caught up with them, her tone full of expectation and caution.
Manon stopped and turned her head to scan her up and down with a smile, "Yes, Louis is going to work at the company. Is there anything you need, cousin?"
Mia's smile froze for a second, and she collected her expression and looked at Louis with expectant eyes, "Cousin , I also want to go to the company and ride in your car. Can I?"
She was Louis cousin, and she made the request first. Louis would definitely give her face and not refuse.
The thought of being able to ride in the same car with Louis made Song Jing's heart leap with joy, and a slight smile appeared on her face.
"I'll ask the butler to arrange another car."
Louis calm answer made Mia's smile freeze.
She looked up at Louis in disbelief.
However, Louis didn't even look at her again. He held Manon's hand and walked away quickly, leaving Mia standing there in a daze.
When they arrived at the car, Manon let go of Louis hand and got in first. Louis watched her get in and then sat down next to her, their fingers rubbing against each other where they had just held hands.
"Are you coming to the company with me?" Louis asked her.
Manon frowned and thought for a moment before turning her head to smile at him. "I'm going back to the the Anderson group I need to take of things there. You go do your own thing.Watching the Rolls-Royce drive away, Manon turned her head and took out her phone, dialing a familiar number.
"Jake's."
Jake was still half asleep when he received Manon's call, and he was a little confused for a moment. "Huh?" So he ended up ending the call
The black Maybach quickly left the hotel and headed towards Anderson Group.
At this moment, Manon's phone suddenly rang.
"Sister manon, are you still satisfied with that man?"
"I'm telling you! I found a middleman and picked out this excellent man for you! Quickly praise me!" Jake said over the phone after he called back
Manon's face showed a bit of murderous intent as she gritted her teeth and typed a line on the screen. [You're dead.]"We're here, get out of the car."
The Maybach stopped in front of the building. Louis got out of the car and helped her open the door, his tone carrying a hint of playfulness, "Do we still need to show affection?"
Manon suddenly felt a bit embarrassed and raised her hand to press her forehead, "No need - Mr. Malcolm, would you like to wait for me in the car or you should go back to your office? I can go up by myself."
"Okay."
The man lightly laughed and nodded, not pressing her step by step. He watched her go up the stairs and his gaze became more complicated.
He made a phone call.
...
In the top-level conference room of Anderson Group.
Mr Fabian Anderson sat with a gloomy face, and Megan's expression was also unpleasant.
The shareholders were wondering why an emergency meeting was suddenly called when they heard a scream outside the door.
"Ah--"
The sound of high heels was crisp, and soon the figure that almost gave Fabian and Megan a psychological shadow appeared in the conference room.
The shareholders looked at Manon with strange expressions on their faces.
"Who are you?"
The shareholder sitting next to me Fabian snorted coldly, "This is the conference room of Anderson Group. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter! Where are the security guards?"
"At the door."
Manon spoke indifferently, raised her chin and pointed to the security guard who had just tried to touch her and was subdued by her, "Let me introdumyself. I am currently the largest shareholder of Anderson, Mrs Anderson daughter, Manon."
?!
The expressions of the members of the board of directors were all wonderful when they heard the name of the former owner.
"Ma,manon ah..."
Fabian trembled unconsciously, about to speak, but the girl glanced at him impatiently with a tone devoid of warmth. "Move aside."
"That's the seat only for the CEO, why do you have the right to sit there?"
Megan couldn't hold back his anger anymore and gritted his teeth. "Manon, you're going too far!"
"My mother's will clearly states that I can succeed as CEO after marriage."
Manon's eyes were cold. "What are you doing sitting here, you illegitimate child? Are you qualified?"
"You--"
Megan's face turned red and white in an instant. Seeing that the shareholders seemed to be dissatisfied with Manon overbearing appearance, he suddenly put on a pitiful look.
"Even if you hold shares now, as a middle school dropout, how can you manage such a big company?""If you really respect your mother's will, you should be aware of the situation and hand over the company to someone more capable! You can have the shares!"
Middle school education?
The shareholders' expressions became even more strange, thinking of the few rumors about the eldest daughter of the Anderson family. They became even more dissatisfied with this overbearing woman.
If the company was handed over to someone who was uneducated like her, it would probably be ruined!
"Miss Anderson, we respect Mrs.Anderson will."
The older shareholder sitting in the corner looked at Manon with a complex expression. He never thought that Mrs . Anderson child would turn out like this.
"But if your ability is not enough, we're afraid--"
"I can prove my ability," Manon said, looking at the shareholder who she recognized as Felix, a veteran of Flex group. Her expression finally eased. "I didn't come here today in a hurry to be appointed as the CEO by the board of directors."
Fabian and his daughter exchanged a glance, thinking that Manon was giving in based on her tone.
A cold light flashed in their eyes. As long as Manon wasn't the CEO,holding shares wouldn't matter much, and they could slowly transfer the company's assets.
"So why did you come here today?" Felix asked.
Manon spoke slowly, "I came here today because I wanted to..."
