My Dreamy Old Husband

Dana and Celine were cut from the same cloth, but the difference here was that Celine was simply playing pretend; when it was time to actually step up to the plate, she was useless. After all, her husband kept his eyes on her. On the other hand, Dana was the real deal. Regardless of male or female, both were acceptable to her—she even had countless sugar babies under her wing. Not only that, Dana had angered several fiances into leaving her. It even enraged the Grand Elder himself to the point where white, long hairs made their way into his beard.

As the elevator door opened, Sarah dashed out with the documents in her hand as she scurried away.

Meanwhile, Dana followed behind languidly as she put her sunglasses on. In an instant, her aura became cold once more. With a determined smile on her lips, she strode gracefully and made her way over to the meeting room with her spectacular aura.

She wanted to see what kind of trouble Sarah could stir up, wet behind the ears like she was.

Meanwhile, the meeting had already begun inside. Dana sat down nonchalantly among the directors, having already taken her sunglasses off. A sinister smile hung on her lips as she steepled her fingers together in anticipation of Sarah’s performance.

Sarah cleared her throat, getting ready to present her findings. However, she was interrupted by a director before she could even speak. “After deciding through a majority vote, we will compete for the rights to endorse the Michel Group’s Dragon Eye cell phones. I do not think there is any need for you to speak anymore.”

The other directors chimed in as well and said, “Yes, yes. There’s no need for that, so you shouldn’t waste your breath.”

Sarah felt uncomfortable after being shot down like that, but she steeled herself and steadied her trembling voice, lowering her pitch in a bid to not make herself seem cute.

“Please quiet down and listen to me first. I am not opposed to the partnership between the Winstons and the Michels, but I think that we can certainly gain a project that is even more beneficial to us!”

The directors were skeptical. In their eyes, the director’s wife was simply here for show. What kind of project could she get, and a better one at that?

Dana had a laugh waiting to bubble up.

she spoke. “As you all know, other than its illegal businesses, the Winston Group mainly deals with legal territory. While there have been successes when we marketed major international brands on their behalf, our most successful project to date is actually in luxury furniture—our furniture line is ranked third in the world. Locally, our market shares can’t go any higher. Of the wealthy families in Bayside City, two-thirds of them own furniture manufactured by us. Many international organizations and councils recognize the Winston Group’s furniture, and we have thousands of official stores in over thirty countries

Also, I’ve already begun to negotiate the contract with Mr. Linus, who is the lead of the Michel Group’s technology business. If my calculations are done right, this will be our largest project of the year. If we do this well, it will be a new development for both traditional craftsmanship and technology, and the Winston Group’s furniture will be sure to make another leap forward.
