Winning Her Heart Again

Chapter 32: Challenging You?

Jasmine's POV

"Ms. Stewart, I'm glad you gave me time to meet you." I smiled at him and placed my bag on the other chair.

"Well, how can I reject one of the well-known businessmen in this city?" I chuckled at that man, and he laughed too.

He invited me to a meeting and wanted to discuss something. I met him at that party, and he proposed something that caught my attention. He wants me to invest in his company.

At first I had a second thought, but besides it seemed we were staying here for longer, maybe I could hear about his proposal.

"I'm sorry for the urgent meeting. Here, please feel free to order." He offered me the menu, and I just ordered coffee and cake.

He chose to meet in a Cafe. He also started to place the papers on the table. He looks formal and classy at the same time.

"As I am saying, you won't regret investing in our company. We have a high market value. Aside from the email I sent you last night, we also have some new plans and offered for you to think of," he started to talk while giving me some information about his business. I read it one by one making sure that I read all the information and critique their marketing. And how my investment would grow for months.

"Your products are in high demand this year", I commented, which made him smile and nod, feeling proud of himself. Their marketing strategies weren't that bad at all.

"Do you have other branches abroad, too?" I asked him, and he nodded. He then started telling me the countries where their business is also in demand.

I nodded while listening to him, he also gave me papers including the proposal that I might get interested in.

"According to the statistics, the value of our products will get higher and higher in the coming months. That's why it's not difficult for you to invest because as soon as you do so. Well make sure that your money will double or triple in the coming years. " He said convincing

me.

I place the papers on the table while the waitress is serving our orders.

I started to zip the coffee, and after that, I looked straight into his eyes.

"Well, I couldn't say less. Your business has a good face. Aside from that, I've read so much about your company and about you, Mr. Jackson. And I'm impressed. I actually conduct my own investigation, and what I like the most when I'm investing in a company is to see how a businessman treats their employees, "I started talking.

I actually paid someone to ask their employees about his performance and how he treats his employees. So far, I have heard good news.

"I'm surprised, I- I couldn't say anything ", he said and laughed, but I kept my posture still. I placed the coffee on the table and sighed.

"Well, you don't have to worry because everyone says that you're a man with words,", I said, and he nodded. I also started to taste the cake.

"Maybe we could meet again for another discussion about the money?" I stood up, and he did the same with a smile on his face. He offered his hand, and I got it.

"Thank you, Ms. Stewart. You won't regret investing in my company," he said in a happy tone.

After that meeting, I excused myself because I still had work to do. But as soon as I got inside my car, I called my assistant. I picked it up without hesitation while starting to drive.

"What is it?" I asked her in the other line. I looked at the time.

"We have a little problem with the materials, ma'am," she said. She's been talking about the materials we will use to organize the wedding.

I sigh and tell her that I'm on my way there. I already coordinate with that company but it's hard to talk to

them. All the materials that we'll be using will be produced by them, but since Stacy is connected to that company, I know she's done

something to make things harder for

us.

I dialled the number of the manager in that company. And I know that she's expecting me to call her now.

"Ms. Stewart", she sounds surprised, but I know she's just acting.

Listen, Gina. knew it was Stacy's plan. But let me tell you something and make sure that my words will be heard by your boss and even Stacy If you keep on making things harder for my employees, I will make sure that we find another company to do your job," I said. I heard her grit her teeth, but I didn't care.

"Ms. Stacy told me that all the materials will be produced by us and not others. And I have no idea what you are talking about, Ms. Jasmine." Her voice sounds mad and yet scared. I sarcastically chuckled because of what she said.

Really? Well, don't care what she

says. I can find another producer aside from your company, whether she likes it or not. And if you kept on sabotaging my staff, well, I'm sorry, but to cut our contracts. "I ended

the call and didn't wait for her words.

A few minutes later, I arrived at the site, and I already saw the materials were already there. I smirk. She's acting brave, but the truth is she's just a little mouse.

I knew that his boss didn't know about what she was doing. I went to the available table and placed my bag there.

I saw Stacy walk in my direction with a displeased expression.

I knew Gina already called her about what I said. She threatened that her boss might find out about what they were doing and that she might get fired if he did.

"Are you really trying me?" She crossed her arms in front of me as if she were challenging me. I chuckled and looked at her coldly.

"Did I?"
