There were several expressions implied in Deacon's gaze. There was disdain, conviction, and also the determination to never let Eevonne off the hook. He just looked at Eevonne like that. "The person-in-charge from abroad has arrived. You've sent him away in front of Mister Long the last time. This time, it's not going to be that easy for you to send him away. Eevonne, since you are the person who is dealing with him, please communicate with him in front of us then!"
When Deacon said those words, it was as if he was still Eevonne's direct superior. It was as if he was still able to control whether Eevonne was to live or die.
Eevonne raised her eyebrow a little, looked down at the documents in her hands for a
moment, and then raised her head and looked at the person-in-charge from abroad who had just come in. She smiled at him.
He also smiled at Eevonne. His smile was very bright. After that, without a warning, he started speaking and it was a very long sentence in Spanish. He spoke very fast. It was so fast that nobody present actually understood what he just said.
Among those people present, there were plenty of elites who were fluent in Spanish, both spoken and written. Among them, Dash's Spanish was especially good. However, other than Eevonne, nobody among all those present was actually able to understand what the person-in-charge from abroad had said.
Many of them looked at him with doubt.
Was he speaking Spanish? Deacon was stunned as well. He really did not expect that this foreigner's Spanish was so confusing. Was he certain that he was speaking English? Deavon looked at Eevonne with doubts, but she already started speaking. Like the other party, she also said a long sentence in Spanish and it was perfect. That accent, that fluency, that authentic Spanish flavor, that confidence, and that calmness stunned everyone who was present.
However, one person was not stunned. It was that person-in-charge from abroad. He smiled while looking at Eevonne and he kept nodding his head.
After he was done nodding, that foreigner looked at everyone present and said in incredibly awkward English, "Hello, everyone. My name is Luis. I grew up in Gru Swa in the continent of South Aimibax since childhood. My Spanish is not too accurate. I've been to many places, and language has always been an obstacle for me when I communicate with others. However, the only exception is when I'm communicating with Eevonne. She could actually understand my Spanish, and her comprehension is especially good. This was also the reason my company decided to work with Eevonne. I don't know what has happened between all of you. Why would there be so many people who want to listen and watch me communicating with Eevonne? If all of you could understand my Spanish, I won't mind communicating with all of you in Spanish. After all, I am very fluent in the Spanish spoken in the place where I came from."
What he said stunned everyone present. Immediately after, some of their faces turned red. Some sneered. Some sighed. Of course, the people whose faces turned red were Deacon and Dash. Never would Deacon and Dash have expected that Eevonne was actually so fluent in Spanish. They simply were so stunned by her the moment she opened her mouth. This woman! When did she learn to speak Spanish so fluently? They truly were caught off guard!
The few people who sneered were Eevonne's colleagues and superiors from the same department. The director of the fashion department was one of them. That was because everyone in Eevonne's department knew how she got this job.
They knew that Eevonne had never faked anything. She had climbed to where she was by moving one step at a time. Those people who sighed were the high-ranking executives and leaders of the Ford Group. They did not know about Eevonne's background and they did not know if her academic qualifications were falsified or not. They were originally very furious. How could there be a black sheep like Eevonne in the Ford Group?
However, when they Eevonne's stunning and fluent Spanish, they instantly felt a sense of respect for Eevonne. What made them respect her, even more, was that Eevonne could actually understand the other party’s awkward Spanish with such a heavy accent from his hometown. That was not something that could be done by everybody.
