GoodReadRaymond didn't care what the others thought. He took Scarlett and went straight into another private room.
Scarlett got seated and took a sip of water, and then she asked, "Willie's is an old business, isn't it? " Willie's Corporation was Dan Cotet’s company. Scarlett was not intimidated by them but felt that it would be a profitable business if Tenton worked with Willie's.
Raymond cast a glance at Scarlett. He handed her the menu and answered, "Yes, it is, but it's not the only good business in the industry." Scarlett immediately understood what he meant. She looked down at the menu and ordered two specialties of the restaurant. She then handed the menu back to Raymond, her chin resting on her palm. " Am | to blfor the incident today?" Raymond knew Scarlett was joking, but he wouldn't allow anyone to have that idea. He grunted as he flipped through the menu, "They wouldn't dare say that." Then he made his order.

"Mr. Shaw, Rick had drunk a little bit of wine earlier and he was out of his mind Now he's sober. We cto apologize to you and Mrs. Shaw." Raymond looked at Mendes, and the latter had a wry smile on his face and was obviously intimidated by Raymond's gaze.
Raymond's eyes swept over Mendes and then fell on Rick.
Rick was now showing restraint. When he saw Raymond looking at him, he had an ingratiating smile. "I'm really sorry. I've just been drinking and going wild. Please don't take what | said seriously." Raymond showed him no courtesy. "We don't take nobodies seriously." After a pause, Raymond demanded coldly," Excuse us. We are hungry. Don't disturb our lunch." Hearing Raymond's words, Rick had an embarrassed expression on his face. He cast a glance at Mendes, made a grunt, and turned around to leave the room.
Mendes looked at Raymond, and he was intimidated. "Mr. Shaw, I'm really sorry for what happened earlier. It was unthoughtful of me. Please forgive me." Raymond didn't look up. "Now is my leisure time. | don't talk about business. See yourself out." Mendes had been in the business for many years, and he had finally climbed to his position. Certainly, he knew what Raymond meant.
Raymond didn't want to deal with him now, but later, he definitely would.
Mendes's face changed color. He was startled. He hastily headed out of the room.
Raymond had an accident three years ago and was rehabilitating abroad. Scarlett then took charge of Tenton.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith all the branches reporting to her and two major projects for Tenton that year, Scarlett was overwhelmed.
She couldn't make any tto visit the branches.
A year ago, Scarlett handed Tenton back to Raymond gradually, but Raymond put Frank in charge of Tenton.
Since then, the headquarters had not sent anyone to inspect the branch in the capital for more than three years.
Tenton had been doing great in the past few years, but the financial statements of the branch didn't meet the company's performance.
Raymond hadn't planned to inspect the branch so soon. But since he was in the capital, he asked Frank to check on it first. After dealing with the shareholders in Bhourne, Raymond would cto settle matters here.
Mendes probably didn't expect that the headquarters would suddenly investigate him. Before he cleaned everything up, within just a few days, Frank found out a lot of things.
