Did he really not expect Reynaldo to come?
I looked at Winston’s gentle eyes and felt a chill in my heart.
Winston lowered his gaze and smiled, “I think you misunderstood, big brother. Back then, I had to go abroad for further studies, so I had no choice but to entrust the company to Anton. Over time, he became the renowned Mr. Pruitt that everyone admires.”
And as for your relationship with Mr. Dunlap, big brother, I really don’t know.
“If I had known it was going to be you, big brother, I wouldn’t have gone through all this trouble organizing this negotiation meeting, right?”
Reynaldo chuckled and sarcastically asked, “So, why did you bring this woman here to attract investments?”
If I remember correctly, she didn’t spend many days in your company, inexperienced and incapable.
You sent her out for such an important project. Are you looking down. on your own project or looking down on us investors?”
Look, in the man’s words, there was nothing but disdain and mockery towards me.
I could tell that he really despised me.
I bit my lower lip and was about to speak.

A hearty laughter suddenly rang out, “Mr. Humphrey was mistaken in his words.”
I was startled and instinctively looked back.
Anton sat up straight and smiled at Reynaldo, saying, “Although Esmeralda is just a newcomer, she had a strong learning ability. We sent her out, naturally affirming her capabilities.”
What about you, Mr. Humphrey? On what basis do you determine that she is not capable? After all, she has never worked under your supervision, right?
I watched Anton with emotion.
As a leader, he was truly encouraging me all the time.
Reynaldo leaned back on the chair and chuckled, “You say she has the ability, well, I really want to see what abilities she has to get an investment from me!”
When Reynaldo said this, there was a strong sense of determination in
his tone.
I stared at his cold face intently, and my heart began to falter.
If the other party was Johnathan, perhaps I would still have a tiny bit of confidence.
After all, even though Johnathan is not easy to talk to, everything can be discussed with him. If we discuss for a long time, perhaps this deal will be made.
But Reynaldo was different.
Reynaldo was not only difficult to talk to, but he also had a very cold.
temperament and was unpredictable.
And he also extremely despised me.
So, he asked me to discuss cooperation with him, and in this case, there may really be no room for negotiation.
Yeah, your company had a newly hired rookie talk to us, as if it was a big deal. You guys really don’t value us investors.”
Yeah, yeah, just a little girl, I don’t believe she could have any abilities.”
At this time, Mr. Schultz and Mr. Esparza followed along with Reynaldo.
I understood that if we couldn’t secure Reynaldo’s investment today, then both of these two companies would be out of the game.
No, I couldn’t back down.
Anton trusted me so much, often encouraged me, and just spoke up for
me.
I couldn’t let him down.
And my dad owed Winston twenty million.
Although I kept saying that I would return it to him, what could I possibly use to repay him?
And now is a good opportunity to repay the debt, as long as we help Winston secure this investment, we can also settle the twenty million with him.
So no matter how Reynaldo sees me now, I just consider myself as an

employee of Clicks Media, and my purpose of coming here is solely to help the boss secure investment for this project.
With this in mind, I picked up the bottle and glass, and walked over to Reynaldo’s side voluntarily.
I flashed him a signature smile and said, “Mr. Humphrey, let me offer you a drink first.”
I said and went to pour him a drink.
Little did he know, he suddenly reached out and covered the mouth of the cup, sneering at Winston and Anton, “Is this what you call the ability to please people by pouring drinks? Ha, then your company is really lacking in talent.”
Winston opened his mouth, about to say something.
Anton smirked and said, “Isn’t it basic etiquette to pour drinks for clients and toast with them? Isn’t Mr. Humphrey being too demanding towards Esmeralda?”
Reynaldo squinted his eyes slightly, and after a moment, he chuckled softly and moved his hand away.
I carefully poured him a glass of wine, and then poured myself a glass as well, and said to him, “Mr. Humphrey, I toast to you.”
Reynaldo didn’t say anything this time, he just lightly laughed, raised his glass and clinked it with mine, and then he downed the entire drink.
