"However, my director still hired me. I am very grateful to him. Ever since the day I first joined the fashion department, I vowed that I have to be diligent, I have to work hard, and I have to do all of my work well! In the past two years, I've handled all of the orders I had on hand very well. The salary for my new job was much higher than when I was doing odd jobs, so I don't need to work as a food delivery person anymore. I then have even more time to learn, so I spent my time learning Spanish in a systematic way. I also learned about the anatomy of clothes and fashion design in a systematic way. I am already a qualified business development executive of the Ford Group’s fashion department now. I have never hidden anything about myself from the company. That also includes everything that had happened in my previous companies! How I fell out with the people from the company before the last and how I lived like a traumatized person but was still cast aside by the whole company. How I went to a different company, lied to them, and lost the information of that company. I had already told my current company everything without holding anything back at all."
Eevonne's tone was already very calm when she was saying that. She was not furious. She was simply telling them a matter. It was a matter that made her feel very glad and improved her very much. She had a proud expression on her face, and when she was talking about all these, all of the people from the Ford Group nodded to give her their approval. Such a scenario indeed was out of Deacon and Dash's expectations. Especially Deacon.
Deacon's fashion company and the fashion company that Dash was working for were similar in strengths. Deacon has always wanted to collaborate with the Ford Group as well, but he never had the chance.
During the more recent time when the Ford Group made an invitation to tender in the city that Deacon was in, Dash's company had beaten him to the punch. When Deacon was feeling heartbroken because he was unable to work with the Ford Group, the Ford Group came to their city to issue an invitation to tender again. Deacon was truly elated. If he could receive the Ford Group's orders, then Deacon would be able to make a guaranteed profit for the next five years. He was so happy that he called for a meeting at his company that day asking everyone in the company to treat the Ford Group's orders seriously. Right at that moment, a guest came to his
company. The person was Dash.
At that time, Deacon was very surprised. He even looked at Dash with an awkward expression. "Mister Long, you and I are competitors. When the Ford Group first came to issue an invitation to tender, you were the one who won the first chance. However, none of us expected that the Ford Group would come a second time to issue an invitation to tender. What's the matter? Are you not conceived or what? I'll tell you something then. Our company and your company are comparable to one another. We have all of the strengths that you have!"
"It's not like this, Mister Lowe, you misunderstood me." Dash was polite.
He looked at Deacon in a friendly manner." The reason the Ford Group could come to our city to issue an invitation to tender again was that I have given them a
suggestion. I told them that there are other companies that are comparable to mine in strength in our city and have quite a good reputation. Also, I even purposefully introduced your company to the Ford Group."
Deacon was stunned at that time. "Would you be that kind?"
"No," Dash answered honestly. "1 saw a woman at the Ford Group with an incredibly despicable character, who had once harmed your company and also my future. Since I have the chance to collaborate with the Ford Group, I don’t want to let this woman ruin my plan. I want to get rid of this woman once and for all. I want to let our fashion industry be clean again. That would be my small contribution to the Ford Group, the company upstream of mine. I want to get rid of this woman completely, so I need
your help."
"Who is this woman?" Deacon did not think of Eevonne at all at first.
In Deacon's eyes, Eevonne was not even a human and could not threaten him in any way at all. He only treated her as a pitiful thing that he could tame.
However, what he never expected was that Dash immediately said, "That woman is Eevonne York."
