“I’m also a member of the Waldburg family, so I’m concerned about the situation in the Waldburg Corporation, of course. What do you think I’m asking?”
“A member of the Waldburg family?”
Niamh curled her lips slightly into a smile when she heard those terms.
Hannah inexplicably felt that Niamh was mocking her when she saw Niamh’s smile.
“What are you smiling at? Aren’t you the one who agreed to let me join the family? Mr. Waldburg also said that he would be responsible for me. Am I still not a part of the family?” Hannah retorted in a dissatisfied tone.
Niamh was still smiling. “Let’s get back to the original topic.”
She went back to the topic and then parted her lips to speak.
“ If the order were to mess up this time, and if the responsibility was on our side, the company will take full responsibility, of course. The compensation is secondary. The most important thing is that it would affect the company’s reputation.”
Niamh paused halfway through the sentence. Her delicate small face looked more serious.
“The most important thing for people in business is credibility and reputation. Besides, Waldburg Corporation is a world-renowned multinational group. Once its reputation is affected, it will cause serious consequences. If you want to learn from me, then you should remember this.”
Niamh did not forget to exhort Hannah seriously.
Hannah seemed to listen to it seriously, and then she pondered for a moment before speaking.
“ I see. The consequences will be so serious… ” she seemed lament. “Then, if it’s so serious, the person responsible for negotiating the contract must be severely punished, right?”
Niamh smiled wider when she heard that. “Yes, o f course. This person would be severely punished.”
When Hannah heard this answer, a cheerful smile gradually appeared on her face.
“That’s good.” She whispered.
Niamh could clearly hear Hannah’s two whispered words, but she asked nothing of it, and instead, she remained a magnanimous and elegant smile because she knew everything clearly in her heart.
Ten minutes later, the car arrived at its destination.
The luxurious six-star hotel before them was under Waldburg Corporation.
Niamh walked in with Hannah. The client had been waiting in the designated private room for a long time.
When the client, a middle -aged man who looked very calm and seemed to be a good talker, saw Niamh walking over, he got up and shook hands with Niamh, greeting her cordially and amicably.
“Mrs. Waldburg, I finally have the honor to meet you.” The man’s eyes were full of appreciation. “ I have always been paying attention to the news about your perfume making, and I have really wanted to see you. I am fortunate to meet you today. You are even more perfect than I imagined.”
Niamh smiled and said, “I really don’t deserve so much praise, Mr. Sutton. Please sit down.”
“Alright. ” The man smiled amicably and then sat down opposite Niamh. When he spotted the solemn-looking Hannah next to Niamh, the man asked curiously.
“Who is this?”
Niamh glanced at Hannah and introduced, “She just started learning with me…”
“Hello, Mr. Sutton. My name is Hannah Bolton, and I am Mr. Waldburg’s person.”
“…” Mr. Sutton was stunned.
Niamh knew that Hannah had said this on purpose, and she also knew that the client had misunderstood.
She smiled slightly and casually corrected Hannah, “This is Miss Bolton, and she just started to learn perfume making with me. She currently lives in Waldburg Manor because of work requirements, so she is considered a guest of the Waldburgs.”
Upon hearing this, the client looked dazed. “I see. ” “Yes. ” Niamh smiled and nodded in affirmation.
Hannah glared at Niamh in displeasure. When she wanted to emphasize her relationship with Kendrick, Niamh suddenly looked at her with a sharp look.
Hannah had never seen Niamh look at her like this. The piercing glint in Niamh’s eyes was icy cold, and it instantly fell on Hannah’s face in a breathtaking manner.
Hannah did not dare to speak anymore, let alone talk nonsense.
She pouted and did not speak any further. She was as quiet as a mouse as she sat beside Niamh.
Niamh talked happily with the client Mr. Sutton for an hour. The client tried the perfume and was very satisfied. He said that he would increase the amount of the order and that despite the long wait, it was worth it. He immediately signed a new contract with Niamh.
Hannah said nothing as she watched, but she knew that this order would be messed up and that Niamh would have to bear serious responsibilities.
That was because Hannah had tampered with all the data recorded during Niamh’s perfume- making process in the afternoon.
If the perfume was produced according to that data, the smell of the perfume would not be the same as it was now when produced. Niamh would be finished then.
Hannah thought silently, and then she felt a lot more at ease after being glared at by Niamh earlier.
Once their discussion was over, Niamh and Mr. Sutton chatted all the way to the hotel entrance.
After sending him to his car, Niamh returned to her car.
Since it was dark at this time, Niamh video called Kendrick, telling him that they would be going home directly.
Kendrick looked at the camera with a gentle expression and responded.
Hannah could not hold herself back again. She wanted to speak to Kendrick, so she approached Niamh and emphasized, “You’ve been talking to Mr. Waldburg for so long. It’s my turn now.”
She said and reached out to grab Niamh’s phone.
Niamh lifted her hand and put the phone to the side where Hannah could not reach.
Without looking at Hannah, Niamh turned her head to smile at Kendrick on the screen instead. “ Kendrick, I’ll see you at home later. I’m hanging up now.”
“Okay, see you later, ” Kendrick replied softly and did not hang up.
Niamh knew what Kendrick was thinking. He was never willing to be the first one to hang up.
“Eveline, I want to say a few words to Mr. Waldburg. Why are you so…”
“What’s wrong with me?” Niamh suddenly interrupted her and asked as she hung up the phone.
Hannah widened her eyes, displeased. “Eveline, I’m already Mr. Waldburg’s person, and I’ve already moved into Waldburg Manor. So, who are you to prevent me from talking to Mr. Waldburg? Also, why did you introduce me like that just now? Was I wrong? Am I not Mr. Waldburg’s person?”
Hannah shrieked arrogantly. She was so loud that the driver could even hear her clearly. Niamh slammed the newly signed contract on the seat with a loud slam and then lifted her stern and beautiful eyes. “Enough is enough.”
Niamh was very calm when she spoke, but the aura her eyes exuded was abnormally domineering.
Hannah was a little stunned at the sight of the cold expression on Niamh’s face. Hannah pursed her lips together, but she spoke not a single word.
Since her first interaction with Niamh, she had felt that Niamh was a soft and gentle young mistress from a rich family. Niamh looked calm and collected no matter the circumstances.
Tonight, however, Niamh was very different.
Her eyes and her temperament looked extraordinarily stern.
Hannah had to admit that she was frightened by this aura.
“Do you know what you had just said in front of the client?” Niamh questioned her coldly.
Hannah, stunned upon hearing that, then quickly recalled how she had introduced herself to that client named Mr. Sutton.
She had said that she was Kendrick’s person. Despite her uneasiness, Hannah, still displeased with Niamh’s attitude, sneered arrogantly and disdainfully.
“What did I say? Was I wrong? Mr. Waldburg and I are indeed…”
“You colluded with Carter shamelessly from the start and attempted to do something to my husband. After achieving your goals, you repeatedly address yourself as my husband’s person without shame.”
Niamh paused for a moment as she spoke. Her eyes, brimming with disdain, scanned Hannah’s face that was gradually turning red from embarrassment.
“We’re both women, and I’m already looking down on you regarding this.”
“What further shocked me was that you even have the audacity to come to the company to make a fuss. Hmph.”
Niamh lifted her cold and charming eyes then chuckled as she looked at Hannah.
“Now that it has come to this, do you really think that you’re a part of the Waldburgs and that you’re really Kendrick’s person? Do you really think you can step on me, order me around, and demand things from me?”
“…”
Surprised, Hannah looked at Niamh who just said that. She could not think of any way to retort Niamh, nor did she have the courage to do so.
Hannah started to panic at the sight of the icy chill that was Niamh’s gaze.
“Miss Bolton, you can make a fuss, but let me remind you, you need to read the room before you make a fuss.”
Niamh’s tone was calm, but it was laced with warning.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re in Glendale or anywhere else. Kendrick Waldburg’s wife will only be me, Eveline Montgomery. The only woman who can call herself Kendrick’s person will also be me, Eveline Montgomery. You’d better watch your mouth when you speak next time.”
