I heard quite a number of people talking about something with Nibel the moment I entered the company.
“Did you see the news? Nibel brought a woman back to his place yesterday night.”
“Doesn’t this mean the rumors about him and President Grant back then were false, then?”
“Yes, it’s fake. President Grant and President Lane are so in love. Seriously, what’s with the press?”
This was what Nibel meant by the rumors would clear up.
I shook my head and smiled lightly. He sure was savvy.
When I got to the office, I arranged my documents and went to Theo’s office.
The door of his office was not closed, and I noted that Nibel was already inside. Theo immediately noticed me. "You’re here. Mr. Nibel happened to come over with a sample. Try it."
After entering with the documents in hand, I handed them over to Theo and then looked down at the Golden-O Face Cream on the table. I picked it up and applied it on my hands to try it out. "Yes, it feels good and moisturizing. But I have to take it back and use it more. It’ll take a while to know if it works.”
"Of course. With such an experienced person as yourself, President Lane, we don’t have to worry so much.”
"I heard you brought a beautiful woman back home for the night last night. I didn't expect you to come here so early today." There was some amusement in my words.
Nibel's expression shifted as if he was dissatisfied with my speech.
Theo noticed this and hurriedly said, "Wanda doesn’t mean anything by it, Mr. Nibel. Please don’t take offense.”
"That’s right. I just find your method of clarification very convincing," I explained.
Hearing this, Nibel glanced at me with a smile on the corners of his mouth. “It seems that you’ve found out, Miss Wanda.”
"It's hard not to." I covered my mouth and smiled lightly. "There was no beautiful woman. You just made the news up for clarification. But you walked the talk, and I think it's great."
"Since I started it, of course, I have to resolve it. You’re being courteous, President Lane. Try the sample for a week after this and then report your results, President Lane.”
I nodded and put away the cream. "Of course, I’ll use it well."
"Let's discuss our plan to promote the product next." Nibel sat down.
