Chapter 249 - Her connections are growing stronger
At the evening the real part of party started.
Even the reporters are welcomed, party is held in the garden.Many other friends, business partners from abroad arrived at evening. Evan and his girlfriend have also come but the more exciting part here is they are accompanied by Helen, who is the most important person of INA.
It is known fact that real CEO of INA rarely visits the company if there are no meetings and conferences. She work from the place she stays and the team she formed will take care of office works and other casualties. Helen is the chief of the team and the public face of the company.
She even have a hold of ten percent of shares. Helen is disowned by her family when she opposed to get married to a person her parents agreed, from then she started living on her own and reached this position.
Most of the persons even thought that she is the CEO of INA. Her physique, face cut and hair mostly look like the woman in the leaked video of CEO. In simple words she resembles Jean.
"Shawn, you asked me to introduce you to a woman resembling me right. Here she is" Jean whispered to her brother in law sinisterly.
Scott who is standing close to them chuckled softly. "Shawn, from now you should stop pestering me and my wife. Go and pursue your woman there" he nudged his little brother who pouted rebelliously.
Seline approached them from behind and wrapped her arms around her brothers. "If Helen will become my second sister in law, I will be the happiest person. She is fierce and determined just like my first sister in law" she chuckled and high fived Jean.
It would be too funny to see both of her brothers become wife slaves.
Shawn looked at the trio and pouted. "When I met that woman for first time in one of the summit, we didn"t go along well. She despise me" he spoke sadly.
"But you like her, Don"t you. She is a video game nerd like you" Jean smirked.
"I do Sissy. She don"t, that is why I said I will never set my foot in INA" he pouted again.
It is not because he hate INA. On the first place he pretended to hate it just because Helen talked low of him.
"Come on, We are Summers and we should be able to charm the women with blink of your eye. If you want I will teach you how to flirt and use some cheesy lines. I am very good at it" Scott gave a little pat but he could feel a glare that boring his back.
Jean is looking him with evil eyes. "Doghouse for one week. You are not even allowed to kiss me or touch me" she withdrew her hand even before he could touch it..
"Uhm…honey, but" Scott bit his tongue and looked at her with puppy eyes while his siblings looked at him teasingly.
"Mr. Summers, as you are expert in flirting right, then try to pacify me then you are forgiven. Till then you and your things will be moved to another room" Jean smirked.
May be then she could avoid his clinginess and sweet torture till her exams complete...honestly he is not even leaving her at least for one hour. Then how can she work on her thesis and researches.
"Welcome to "monk" family till then" Raymond and Shawn patted his shoulder and consoled him.
"You also" Scott looked at Raymond pitifully who nodded his head and gestured at Seline. "devil women"s he mouthed and they all started to laugh..
"Shawn, go and talk with Helen" they nudged him. If they succeed in making him have some quality time with her, then they could at least hope that Seline and Jean would show some mercy towards them.
Meanwhile Evan and Helen are talking with Mr. Summers and looked like they are going along well. Others didn"t understand the situation in Summers family.
Stephen is having many projects collaborated with Hermes, whereas Scott and Cyphers hate that company to their core. They are the rival companies which might never cover the rift between them.
INA and Cyphers are the opposite poles of business field in country A. They are the top firm companies with neck to neck compet.i.tion in almost every project government of the country issued.
But his sister is the CTO of INA and his father is close to the people from INA.
He even have some projects in pending that have to be pa.s.sed to INA.
They wondered if INA somehow is connected to their family. Seline might be the CEO right…there is a chance..
Stephen stood up from his chair and cleared his throat to get the attention. "Thanks for coming and we are so honored to have you all here. In this happy moment I want to share some news with all of you" he smiled charmingly.
Susan stood up and gave a polite smile. "My daughters engagement party will be held after fifteen days from now. We will announce the further details at the ending of party"
"I would like to thank Hermes transportations and INA for the wonderful partners.h.i.+p that is negotiated two days back. I am honored to work with the two most youngest CEO"S. I hope it continues like this…as harmonious as ever" he spoke and toasted to Evan and Edward.
Everyone secretly glanced at Scott, antic.i.p.ating him to be angry or annoyed.. All they could see is his carefree race, he is engrossed in laughing with Shawn and Raymond. He is not even bothered a slightest....
Little they knew that this partners.h.i.+p is requested by him to protect Jean from the notorious Hermes. After a while they are astonished to see Scott and Evan chuckling and talking about something, they are laughing hard as Jean glared at them. She hissed something and they momentarily froze but laughed again very hardly.
Jean ma.s.saged her temples and stomped away from them. She looked close to them..no one were able to find out how she managed to befriend the powerful persons like them.
Mean while Helen and Shawn are talking at far corner of the garden. They looked like a casual friends but everyone are aware of the hatred he has for INA. This is the most unantic.i.p.ated thing they have seen..
Jean and Seline forced them to have a simple meet to clear the misunderstanding between them. As the both companies will be working closely from now onwards Helen gladly agreed to talk with him..
Ca.s.sandra is burning with anger as she looked at Raymond kissing Seline in public. She looked angry but he murmured something in her ear and in that instant itself she blushed deeply and his her face in his chest. While others laughed at them.
Jean is talking with Wilson family and she is currently sandwiched between Daisy and Madam Wilson who is Scott"s grandmother and also the former vice president of country.
Elder Wilson is talking excitedly about something with Jean as she laughed heartily. He is currently competing for president position and the chances of winning are inevitable.
Her uncle and aunt are drowning in jealousy. The more they paid attention the more they found her connections are so powerful and strong. After a while David dragged her to his family.
Fletcher"s are one of the prominent families in country X. Their oil business is more famous in oversees, as David took her to his mother she hugged Jean dearly and thanked her for the help.
As her family boiled with envy Jean became more and more busy talking to some of the most prestigious families whom they would never dare to offend.
Within no time she became a top socialite and most of the others are trying to bootlick her...
Meanwhile Edward Wright is looking at her with complex expression. He is twirling his wine gla.s.s in his right hand as his other hand is supporting his chin, his hawk like eyes are staring at her intently..
"Sir, our team called. Coast is clear and guarded" his bodyguard whispered the secret code and he nodded his head.
His a.s.sistant sat beside him silently, scribbling something in his tablet. "Ronald, Jean is still thinking we didn"t find a loophole she and Seline created. Just keep quiet and make sure she is under our constant watch. I don"t want her to get hurt again" he smiled sadly and gulped his wine in one go before filling it up again.
His a.s.sistant looked at his master with pained expression plastered on his face. He couldn"t help but pray that his master would start being carefree and happy again.
