Chapter 60 Determined to Win over This Man
Mr. and Mrs. Rogers didn't seem to notice anything unusual as several people were sat in the drawing room.
Reeva handed a box that was on the table to Solomon.
"Solomon, this is a limited edition toy racing car that I have brought back with me for you from abroad. Do you like it?"
Reeva was aware of just how much Mr. and Mrs. Rogers and Hector doted on Solomon, so naturally she wanted to win favour with them by pleasing them.
Solomon glanced casually at the toy car, clearly not so impressed.
He really didn't want a gift from this woman; because Miss Eloise was the only one he wanted.
Matriarch Rogers naturally knew what her grandson was thinking so she quickly stood up and said, "Thank you Reeva, Solomon likes it very much, however you don't need to bring so many expensive gifts when you come again."
"You are very welcome."
Although Reeva had a smile on her face, she didn't feel so good inside.
It seemed that this Master Solomon would not be so easy to handle.
After exchanging some more light conversations, Matriarch Rogers started to talk about the main business at hand.
"Hector, Reeva has just been home for a few days, she is going to take part in the company."
Hector didn't say anything and continued to listen to what his mother had to say, "Patriarch Lawson is afraid that she doesn't have enough experience yet, so I'm hoping you can arrange a position for her in the company and that you can give her the chance to learn what she needs to learn. This is no problem, right?"
Hector nodded and pursed his lips as he said, "I will get the assistant to make the arrangements later."
As she heard this, Reeva's eyes lit up.
"Hector, sorry for troubling you."
Hector didn't respond to her and instead said as he checked the time, "Father, Mother, I have some things I must deal with later, so Solomon will stay here tonight."
As he said this he got up and got ready to leave.
Matriarch Rogers nodded her head for she was naturally happy Solomon would be staying here.
Then at this moment Reeva also stood up and said, "It's getting late so I also must be leaving, but I will come and visit you both another day."
"Alright then! Just don't bring so many gifts next time. By the way, Hector, would you mind giving Reeva a ride back home as it's on your way." Hector's lips tightened together, but he didn't refuse.
The two of them left the Roger's home together.
Inside the quiet car Reeva was looking at Hector when he suddenly heard her asking, "Hector, how have you been all these years?"
"Very well." Hector replied with a cold tone.
Reeva felt a little let down, why hadn't he then asked how she was doing?
Although Hector didn't say anything else, Reeva didn't give up and continued to find something they could talk about.
"By the way, I will be going to your company in the next few days. And if I do something wrong then please feel free to criticise me, don't hold back just because of the friendship between us." "I know, I won't."
Seeing that he still possessed such an indifferent attitude, Reeva sighed feeling rather helpless.
She continued to find something to talk with Hector about but it seemed that Hector was simply unwilling to speak anymore.
They eventually reached the Lawson's family house, and since Reeva felt reluctant to be parting from him she kept a smile on her face and asked, "Would you like to come in and sit down for a while? Grandpa kept reminiscing about you today with me."
Hector's lips tightened as he said, "Not today, there are still some things that I must attend to. I will come and visit Mr. Lawson next time."
Reeva was disappointed by his answer, but decided to let it go.
"Alright then, have a safe journey."
She slowly unfastened her seatbelt and got out of the car and watched as he drove away and still stood there sighed.
'Even when she visited the Roger's house as a child, Hector's attitude towards her was still just as cold. Why is still the same even after so many years?'
However now she felt he was even more charming than before...
Not even Reeva knew when she first fell in love with Hector.
She used to think she was very lucky that she was the only girl who was able to get close with him.
Then later even as she studied abroad she was still paying close attention to Hector all the time.
She had heard that he had finished all of his courses in his second year of university and thus graduated early so he could take over the company.
After he had taken over the Rogers Group, every section of the company had seen such massive growth that the company eventually became the biggest enterprise in the country.
His achievements within the business circle had even appeared in foreign newspapers.
It was at this time that she had confirmed in her heart that such an outstanding man was indeed worthy of her.
Thus Reeva had been engaged with many things and studied hard in order to have the opportunity to get closer to him.
Under the light she looked rather desolate. As she watched the car depart into the distance she thought to herself that in just a few days she would be working at the Rogers Group and when this time came, there would be countless opportunities for the two of them to come into contact with one another.
No matter what, for this return, she was determined to win over this man.
After Eloise had taken her bath, she took her phone out and looked at her photo album.
There were pictures of Solomon, Hector and pictures that were taken today by the teacher during today's event.
As she looked through the photos, her expression unconsciously softened.
In her mind she couldn't help but think of Ariella.
The Gardner family, The Thompson family... and what had happened back then.
Eloise sighed and wondered whether it was really possible for herself and Hector to end up together in the end?
What had happened in the past few days was like a dream and Eloise was always feeling like she would eventually have to awake from this dream.
But now she was really afraid that if things continued the way they were then she would fall deeply into everything and at that point be unable to escape from the situation...
Unsure of when, Eloise eventually closed her eyes and fell asleep.
...
The next day, once Eloise had woken up and washed her face, she arrived at work just on time as usual.
The JS Creative Company was holding a meeting and thus as an employee of the company, Eloise naturally participated.
The JS Creative Company covered a large range of plans, including advertising, marketing, events, celebrations...
The main content of this meeting was that the company was intending to get into contact with a newly emerging brand that designed wedding dresses, and this brand was called USHOW.
Stood in the middle of the meeting room, Layla who was wearing professional attire said, "A few days ago we received a notice that USHOW will be opening up into the Asian Market and were looking for a planning company to help them promote their name and brand.
"Manager Davidson, are we planning to take on this project?"
Layla nodded her head.
Although USHOW was founded not long ago, it was still well known within the country. In fact, many people had been getting custom made wedding dresses from this company and their styles have regularly featured in many fashion magazines.
"There will be several large companies that also plan to compete for this project, so we must work hard and come up with the best plan that satisfies USHOW and selects us to cooperate with." Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
Since she had already completed all the arrangements for Solomon's birthday, Eloise had no other work to be done so she had to participate in the USHOW project.
A wedding dress brand? Eloise looked down and was already beginning to think about what she could do.
Layla continued, "I will send the specific information to everyone's personal email later. For now you must all go back and start to devise a plan. Now the meeting is finished." Along with the last sentence from Manager Davidson, Eloise got up and followed everyone out of the meeting room.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
