Chapter 256 Cocktail Party
Chapter 256 Cocktail Party
But it was the President who invited her, and it seemed impolite to refuse. Thus, Autumn reluctantly
nodded her head, "I am honored." She lied.
After Mr. Seiten left, Hoada Masahiro went to Autumn jubilantly. "Miss Ye, you've done an excellent job
today. The President speaks really highly of you. It had been the best choice I have ever made in my
life, letting you make the project plan."
After the proposal meeting, his supervisor told him immediately that his promotion had become a sure
thing.
"You are welcome, Mr. Hoada. It has been my honor to do so." With a faint smile, Autumn said, "Well,
about the budget…..."
"No problem, we'll talk into the details later at the party." Hoada Masahiro smiled happily, patting
Autumn on her shoulder slightly, "I have to go now."
Suddenly, Autumn did not feel well in her stomach. She had no idea whether it was due to the raw food
or not. She went to the restroom.
Sitting in one of the cubicles, she thought of sending Charles a text message with the good news, but
decided to just tell him in person. After a while, there seemed to be some noise in the restroom.
Autumn heard the sound of the door being locked. She heard Paula's voice first, "Hoada Masahiro,
how dare you fool me? "
"How could that be?" Then the obscene voice of Hoada Masahiro followed, "You asked me to
recommend you, and I did it. But it was true that Autumn did much better on the proposal. It was the All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
President himself who made the final decision. I could not be the one to blame, could I?"
"You……" Paula furiously clenched her teeth. "What you've promised me was that my company would
win in the proposal meeting, but what just happened now? Even worse, I lost face in front of Autumn
once again. Aren't you afraid that I'd tell everyone what you've done?"
With a sneer, Hoada Masahiro said, "Paula dear, how could you take it so seriously, what a man says
during sex? I did say it to let you participate into the proposal meeting. But it would be too much for me
if the failure was due to your lack of skills, wouldn't it? I could not stop you if you want to spill the
beans, at all events...... I won't be the only one losing face, you will too."
Autumn held her breath, trying her best not to make a sound inside the cubicle. No wonder Paula was
here. Such a dirty deal turned out to have been dealt behind her back. Autumn never thought that a
person like Paula, who was so proud, could painstakingly go through such things in order to beat her.
"You......" Paula raised her hand, intending to slap Hoada Masahiro. She had paid a high price, but it
turned out to be a futile one and she just could not help but explode in anger.
Hoada Masahiro caught hold of her hand the moment she tried to land it on Hoada's face, "Miss Pan,
there is no denying it that you're really good in bed, but…… you lack the working ability though, not to
mention your horrible temper. I do hope that we have nothing to hide next time we see each other."
"In your dreams." Paula felt numb with hatred. Unfortunately, she could do nothing but clench her fists.
Hoada Masahiro was unwilling to waste his time on Paula. He was clear in his mind, that what he had
done with Paula was just for fun and could not be taken seriously.
After walking out from the restroom, he would still be the one with glory in front of everyone. He was
the Hoada Masahiro who would be met with congratulations and surrounded by admiring peers.
Thanks, obviously, to Autumn's great performance.
But that was not the case for Paula, who had paid a high price.
With the noise of Hoada Masahiro and Paula's roaring argument, Autumn couldn't help shaking her
head. Why were there so many stupid girls in the world, having a fancy that they would be rewarded as
long as the price to pay was sex? But what those girls did, unfortunately, would only be looked down on
and despised by men.
Autumn came out of the cubicle after making sure that there was no one else in the restroom. Thinking
of what had just happenned, She left the Light House Company, with a heavy heart.
Without a dress for the cocktail party in the evening, Autumn had to buy a dress for the moment. She
picked a white dress, which was not too eye-catching, but decent without doubt. Wandering in the
cocktail party, Autumn did not see Paula, but Hoada Masahiro was walking towards her.
"Miss Ye, look at you, how gorgeous you are tonight." Looking at Hoada Masahiro's face, Autumn could
not help remembering the conversations that she overheard in the restroom. It was very difficult for her
to face him and act naturally.
In her mind, she felt really sorry for Paula.
Paula, who always had a good opinion of herself, with good looks and matching working skills, had
been hoping to find a rich husband all the time. However, she made a dirty deal just to beat Autumn,
even…… gave her own body to a scumbag, who turned his back on her in the end.
What a pity.
"Am I? Thanks!" With a slight smile, Autumn asked Hoada Masahiro, "Have you seen Paula?"
"Paula?" Autumn saw a bit of nervousness in Hoada Masahiro's eyes when she mentioned Paula's
name. But he quickly recovered and answered with a smile, "The party tonight is also the industry
exchange meeting. Everyone here are elites from all over the world. Miss Ye, you would not have had
the chance to come, not to mention Paula. Well, you are the honored guest of the President, so......"
With a smile, Hoada Masahiro continued, "Miss Pan is not in a good mood today. She might have gone
back to the hotel to rest a bit. Miss Ye, although it goes well on the proposal, ...... I hope that you take it
seriously, after all, the following implementation is still very important."
"I will." Autumn nodded slightly. She thought it was just an ordinary party, but beyond her expectations,
there were a lot of things going on at the same time. Autumn had been wondering before, whether she
would meet Charles here.
"Excuse me, I'll go over there and say hello. Let's talk about the budget later." Hoada Masahiro left
before Autumn had any chance to say anything. Autumn could do nothing but wait.
The host of the party was famous in Japan. However, Autumn seemed to be lacking interest for it. The
moment she almost fell asleep, the voice of Mr. Seiten came from behind, "It is boring, right?"
"Mr. Seiten." Autumn stood up quickly and said, "No, I just couldn't get used to parties like this at the
moment."
Mr. Seiten smiled, "There are many successful people here tonight. Miss Ye, you have a very accurate
grasp of the whole company and I admire you very much. After some time, I am sure that you will be
successful."
"Mr. Seiten, please don't make fun of me, how could I......" Autumn raised her hands to show her
modesty. Finally, she smiled, "Thank you for your kind words."
"Have a good night." With a smile, Mr. Seiten turned and left.
"Miss Ye." After a few exchanged greetings with the other guests, Hoada Masahiro walked torwards
Autumn with two glasses of red wine and handed one to her. "To be honest, I really admire you, Miss
Ye."
"You are someone who has good looks, wisdom and a strong working ability." Hoada Masahiro gave
generous compliments to Autumn, "I am pretty impressed by your proposal, well, the budget…… would
be no problem at all."
"Mr. Hoada, as you know, the employees of my company have paid a lot of efforts to this project,
thus……"
"I get it, Miss Ye, actually, whether you can get a bigger budget or not…… depends on you."
