Chapter 211: Men Are In An Uproar!
It would be a waste of their abilities if their only job was to be a courier.
With their charm, it would be effortless to convince customers to buy the products they were promoting.
Through big data, Perry Express had the information about the personal preferences of every customer, so they would be recommended goods that were suitable for them according to their consumption.
Generally speaking, most male customers will be recommended gym memberships. In contrast, female customers would be given recommendations to Japanese skincare products.
These gyms and beauty and skincare brands also cooperated with Perry Express, which would profit significantly from the partnership.
Some people may feel that foreign girls would have a hard time promoting these products and services to locals due to the language barrier.
Besides, they have only been in the US for a month, and it would be impossible for them to become highly fluent in English even if they took English lessons 24 hours a day.
However, in this era, the language barrier is no longer a big problem.
They just had to download an online translation app on their smartphones, automatically translating everything they said from Japanese to English and vice versa.
There were many other language pairs, and the app could practically translate any language.
The homebody signed up for an $800 one-year gym membership without any hesitation at all. The Japanese courier managed to earn a hundred dollars in commission, which was much higher than a couple of dollars that she would make for each parcel she delivered.
“Thank you! I wish you good health and a joyous life!”
The young Japanese lady excitedly did a 90-degree bow to thank the homebody.
He was elated too. He made a lot of money from game streams, but he usually wouldn’t bother dressing up because he was a geek. He rarely spoke much either.
Sometimes, he would go to the mall to shop, but the clothing store assistants often ignored him.
Sometimes, he would spend lots of money, only to end up being angered!
He had rarely been treated with so much respect. Someone actually bowed to him to thank him for his purchase!
“The service attitudes of Japanese girls are so much better than the local service staff here!”
On cloud nine, the homebody quickly turned on the translation app that he had just downloaded and said, “Miss, can I buy you a drink before you leave?”
The app translated his words into Japanese, and the lady bowed again immediately after hearing his words. “Thank you for the invitation, Sir. I would love that!”
The geek was excited, and the two ended up exchanging numbers.
Afterward, the geek immediately started his stream.
He said to the several thousands of people who were watching his stream, “Damn! I solemnly present to everyone- Perry Express! The courier of Perry Express who came to my place just now is actually a Japanese lady!”
“Just now, she personally came to my door to help me send a parcel. She was gorgeous. She looks a little like Mina Fujii!”
“You should all use Perry Express instead of Breezy Express in the future!”
However, the stream’s viewers were still not entirely convinced and were somewhat skeptical at this moment.
“Streamer, how much money did Perry Express pay you to advertise for them? Breezy Express will pay you triple that amount.”
“You must be bragging, huh? How can the deliverer be a Japanese lady?”
“Wake up! Stop dreaming!”
However, to this day, countless people who patronizing Perry Express have met Japanese couriers.
Word about it spread, and soon, the matter made it to the headlines and list of trending topics. “Perry Express hired Japanese couriers!”
As soon as this matter became a trending topic, everyone on Twitter got into a huge uproar.
“Crap, really? They actually hired a foreign beauty as a courier. I want to order immediately!”
“Cool, how did Perry Express come up with such an idea? Hahaha, this is a huge incentive for us. I absolutely support it!”
“Are these gorgeous Japanese deliverers working only in New York? This is unfair. When will they come to DC?”
“Can you distribute a few hundred to Orlando? I’ll definitely only patronize Perry Express and never any other courier companies.”
“Petition for Perry Express to bring these Japanese ladies to Houston!”
At this moment, the senior executives of Breezy Express were also discussing this matter.
Inside the meeting room, the few significant shareholders were discussing too.
“Mr. Huxley, Perry Express has recruited 1,000 young women from Japan and trained them in English. They have also cooperated with many local gyms and beauty salons.”
“The new young president of Perry Express is pretty aggressive!”
A shareholder of Breezy Express said with some anxiety.
Arthur Huxley remained rather composed. “I’ve long known about this matter. It’s just a stunt to please crowds! This young lady in her twenties knows nothing about business!”
“The cost of hiring a single Japanese courier is too high, and a thousand of them can’t even cover New York City, let alone the entire country!”
“Don’t worry, I bet they’ll run out of money soon, and these Japanese girls will head home too.”
Just like that, another two weeks passed.
More and more people learned that Perry Express had recruited Japanese girls. Almost all of the male customers in New York City opted for Perry Express instead of Breezy Express!
They did so just to be able to say a few words to the Japanese girls!
All of a sudden, a piece of news became a trending topic. “Game streamer marries Japanese Perry Express courier deliverer!”
The geeky game streamer married the Japanese courier deliverer whom he had only known for two weeks!
This game streamer was quite popular, so the news of his marriage quickly became viral!
“Damn it! This streamer is so lucky! He got a Japanese wife so easily! I’m so envious that I want to strangle the fool beside me!”
“I know that streamer, he streams his gameplay of CS, and he earns a couple of thousands of dollars each month, which isn’t even enough to buy a house in New York City. That Japanese girl is willing to marry him even though he can’t afford a home?”
“You think that Japanese girl is as materialistic as most women here who demand that you have a place of your own before she’s willing to marry you? The Japanese girl doesn’t care about that at all. I heard that she fell in love with him after he signed up for an $800 gym membership.”
“What? Seriously? He managed to get a girl just by doing that? I can do that too!”
“Petition for Perry Express to bring these Japanese ladies to Houston!”
“Orlando too…”
The men were all in an uproar!
Many of them were backup lovers, and some were basically just being used by the women they liked. They didn’t even have the numbers of their crushes!
Suddenly, a group of Japanese women who were much more sociable and meek had appeared in the country!
They were all attracted!
Even an NBS news reporter came to New York City to interview Perry Express!
Victoria was receiving the interview in the deputy president’s office.
“Miss Clarke, we observed that your company has hired Japanese girls as couriers recently, which has sparked quite a heated discussion among the nation’s netizens, especially the males. One of your couriers has even married a local streamer.”
“Can you tell us why you hired Japanese girls to be couriers?”
Chapter 212: Terrifying Jordan!
Dressed in a black business suit, Victoria seemed highly domineering.
Victoria said unhurriedly, “Actually, Perry Express has not only recruited Japanese girls, but we also recruited girls from Russia and Ukraine. Currently, we have already recruited a thousand single women who are now undergoing training. They will start work soon.”
The reporter was surprised. “Is that so? Which city are you going to have them work in? Is it going to be New York City too? As far as I know, the citizens of many other cities have strongly requested you to send the couriers to other cities.”
Victoria smiled and said, “We will conduct an online poll to see which city has a greater demand.”
“Or maybe we will assign the ladies according to the number of sales we have in each city. We will give priority to the cities where our services are used the most.”
The reporter continued to ask, “Why do you need to recruit girls from abroad? That’s very costly, isn’t it? If your company intends to recruit more female couriers, don’t the local women in our country meet the requirements?”
Victoria replied, “We have been recruiting local women to work as couriers, but most of them are unwilling to work such a laborious job under the sun.”
The reporter asked, “Recently, the share price of Perry Express has been rising steadily, and some people are saying that you are aiming to be the top whale of the courier industry, is that right?”
Victoria and gave an affirmative answer, “Yes!”
On the same day, Perry Express posted a poll on Twitter— “Which city are these 1,000 beautiful couriers from Ukraine going to land in?”
The netizens of each city seemed to have all gone mad as they kept trying to garner votes for their respective cities.
After casting their votes, the men would immediately text their friends in their group chats or call their best friends and ask them to vote too.
Within a day, almost everyone in every major city had already known about the matter. Perry Express gained free publicity without having to spend a single cent.
Afterward, Perry Express released a statement saying that whichever city in which Perry Express’s services were used the most would be given priority.
The men were even more worked up after the news was released!
They told everyone they knew to stop patronizing other couriers and solely use the services of Perry Express as much as possible!
Some even went so far as to shoo couriers from Breezy Express or other courier companies!
Others posted slogans that read “Boycott Breezy Express, embrace Perry Express, all for the Ukrainian ladies!” everywhere.
These slogans were posted in subways and shopping malls. Everyone was actively promoting for the sake of increasing the market share of Perry Express in their city!
In the president’s office of Breezy Express in New York.
The deputy president of Breezy Express entered and said, “Mr. Huxley, something has cropped up again. One of our warehouses in Orlando has been set on fire, and many of our couriers have quit to join Perry Express.”
Arthur looked sad and worried because he ultimately did not expect that things would develop to this point!
The deputy president continued, “In the recent week, our company’s market shares in more than 100 cities across the country have plunged rapidly and gone below Perry Express.”
“We’ve been completely defeated, especially in the first-tier and second-tier cities!”
The news spread faster in the first-tier and second-tier cities, so there was a higher chance that the girls would go to their cities. Hence, the citizens of those cities were much more hardworking too.
Arthur slapped his forehead and said, “Bad news, bad news!”
“In addition to losing market share, even the national news channel and other official media platforms are reporting Perry Express’s approach and praising them. That’s my greatest concern!”
The deputy president was puzzled too. ‘Why are the official media platforms supporting them?”
Arthur said, “Haven’t you seen the news? There’s a 30-day cooling-off period after a divorce application has been filed.”
“Young people in our country prefer not to get married nowadays, and even after they’re married, they are prone to get divorced. This seriously affects social security and the personal happiness index. The labor force has also been decreasing year to year.”
“The foreign female couriers working for Perry Express have frequently been rumored to be marrying American men. This would greatly help with the marriage problems faced by men in our country.”
“Their president, Audrey, is too young. I didn’t expect her to be so impressive. I finally know why she’s doing this.”
The deputy president sighed with emotion and asked, “What should we do next?”
Arthur asked, “They can hire foreign women to work for them, but we can too, can’t we?”
“Relay my message and tell everyone to go around the world and poach some pretty women who are willing to marry American men! We must recruit more than Perry Express has too!”
A few days later, in Houston.
Russell was seated in his office and browsing through the news on his Macbook Pro. He happened to chance upon the announcement of Breezy Express hiring a batch of female couriers from abroad.
Breezy Express and the other courier companies have all released news one after another that they had hired foreign women to work as their couriers!
Russell let out a long sigh and lamented.
“This is all Jordan’s doing!”
Jordan told Russell on Gates’ yacht two months ago that he would solve the issue of American men facing marriage problems and change the position of arrogant women!
He had really done it today. Countless foreign single women had been sent to the US, and many had married local men!
“What a terrifying guy!”
Russell already knew that Audrey, the current president of Perry Express, was a Steele!
During this period, Russell asked a friend to investigate Jordan’s family background in England. Still, unfortunately, this family was too mysterious. Hence, he hadn’t been able to obtain much specific information so far.
For example, he didn’t know precisely how old Audrey was, what her status in the family was like, and whether or not she shared the same mother as Jordan.
Russell immediately picked up his phone and dialed Arthur’s number.
“Arthur, I saw the news that you’ve also a thousand single women from abroad. This is a trap set up by someone, and you’re helping him!” Russell said.
Jordan’s ultimate goal was to get as many foreign women to come to the US as possible. If he relied solely on his own efforts to do so, it would be too costly.
With the help of Breezy Express and other companies, it would require a lot less effort.
Arthur asked, “Whose trap do you think it is?”
Russell answered, “Victoria Clarke’s boyfriend, Jordan Steele. He’s from the same family as Audrey, the current president of Perry Express. I’m guessing that Jordan is behind everything that Perry Express has been doing lately!”
Arthur sighed and said, “Regardless of whether it’s his trap or not, we have to copy him. Do you know how much Breezy Express’s share price has plunged in the past month?”
“I have something important to do. Let’s chat again another day!”
After hanging up, Russell remained stunned for more than ten seconds.
“Jordan Steele is really unpredictable! I’d better not provoke him. It seems that I have to give up on Victoria!”
Russell was a cautious businessman. It wasn’t easy for him to progress from a live-in husband to the billionaire he was today.
Before getting a clear idea of Jordan’s profile, he definitely wouldn’t dare to provoke Jordan easily or snatch his woman.
Hence, he had no choice but to regretfully give up Victoria.
At this moment, Russell’s phone happened to ring.
It was a call from his friend, Don, who was far away in England.
Russell quickly picked up.
The person on the other end of the line exclaimed, “Russell, I’ve found out who Jordan’s father is!”
Chapter 213: Visiting Café Nostalgia Again!
In Shook Restaurant on the fifth floor of Peace Hotel.
It was a renaissance style restaurant that had existed for more than a hundred years.
In a semi-open booth, Jordan, Victoria, and Audrey were having a feast of oysters, muffins, classic eggs Benedict, and other delectable dishes.
They chatted merrily while enjoying the food.
Victoria was the one who asked Audrey out for a meal today because she wanted to let Audrey meet Jordan more often so that they could have a cordial relationship.
After all, Victoria was now Audrey’s right-hand man, whom the latter trusted greatly. In the office, her status was far superior to the other deputy presidents.
Of course, Audrey was friendly to Victoria because Victoria could potentially be her future sister-in-law.
When Victoria was eating, she received a phone call, so she left the room.
At this moment, Jordan and Audrey could finally whisper some secrets to each other.
“Jordan, how have I been performing recently? I’ve served my future sister-in-law well, haven’t I?” Audrey looked like she was trying to ask for a prize.
Holding his fork and knife, Jordan answered with a smile, “It’s not too bad.”
Audrey rested her chin in her hand and looked at Jordan. “Do you think Grandpa shows favoritism to boys? He sent you to train on the battlefield and become a live-in husband. How exciting and interesting that must be?”
“Look at my sisters and me. All we do is go to school, and after graduating, we have to embark on our business trials. Now, we’re getting urged to get married too. How boring.”
Jordan smiled, knowing that Audrey was an adventurous girl.
“You’ll never know how arduous the battlefield and live-in husband experiences were. Life has been a torment the past few years,” Jordan said with a sigh.
Audrey asked cautiously, “I heard that you were made a cuckold. Is that true?”
Smack!
Jordan slammed his knife and fork on the table immediately. “You’re so rude! Is that how you speak to your brother?”
Audrey chuckled with a hand on her mouth and quickly apologized. She didn’t pity her brother because she knew he had too many women to choose from.
She felt that the woman who betrayed her brother was pitiful because she had lost the opportunity to marry into the top family with the best resources.
“Who told you about this? Was it Butler Frank? Or Grandpa?” Jordan asked.
Audrey took a sip of red wine and said, “It’s Jamie.”
“Jamie? I called him several times, but I couldn’t get through.” Jordan suddenly remembered something, and he asked, “Hey, Audrey, do you know that Jamie has a lover and a daughter living in New York?!”
“Oh my God, are you serious?” Audrey was astonished too.
Jordan nodded. There was no way he could tell outsiders about this, but Audrey was his sister, so there was nothing he couldn’t tell her.
Jordan said, “I went to a cafe previously to collect the keys to a villa that Jamie has left for me. I saw a gorgeous woman there, and I could tell that she was Jamie’s girl. She was as pretty as my ex-wife, Hailey.”
“And the little girl is really pretty too. She must have inherited the excellent genes of the Steele family. I’m certain about that.”
Audrey laughed and exclaimed, “Haha, I’m going back the day after tomorrow. I’m definitely going to tell Grandpa that Jamie has an illegitimate daughter in New York, which he has been keeping a secret. Haha, Grandpa will surely reward me handsomely!”
Jordan suddenly asked in puzzlement, “You’re going back the day after tomorrow?”
Only then did Audrey become serious, and she answered, “Yes, I was about to tell you about it. I’m going to hand over the position of president of Perry Express to Victoria tomorrow.”
Audrey had come to New York City to take on the role of president of Perry Express, only because she had to act as a buffer for Victoria to eventually become the president.
It had been two months since her arrival so far. Although she had spent more than two billion dollars, she managed to raise the stock price of Perry Express to dozens of billions!
At present, Perry Express is already on the same level as Breezy Express!
Hence, she had completed her mission, and it was time for her to hand her position over to Victoria.
Jordan knew that she still had to run the rest of her companies in the UK and other cities in the US, which were actually her mainstays. Hence, he didn’t ask her to stay. Instead, he said, “Alright then, I won’t ask you out alone before you leave. I’ll just bid farewell to you here.”
“Thank you, Jordan. Indeed, you value our relationship as siblings the most. Hmph.”
Audrey clinked glasses with Jordan, but she was obviously saying the opposite of what she felt, causing Jordan to feel embarrassed for a moment.
He was still keeping up with the act in front of Victoria now, so he naturally couldn’t get too close to Audrey.
Less than two minutes later, Victoria was done with her phone call and had returned to the room.
She said to Audrey, “Miss Audrey, I’m afraid we have to go back to the office. The editor-in-chief of the famous Japanese magazine ‘East Ocean Economics’ has arrived at our office and asked to do an exclusive interview with us.”
Audrey glanced at the dishes on the table, which had barely been eaten, and said, “Victoria, go back on your own. I’ll continue eating with your boyfriend here. We’ve ordered so much food, it’d be a waste not to finish all of them.”
Victoria had always been in charge of receiving interviews because Audrey rarely appeared in front of the media.
However, Victoria was hesitant.
She was worried that the two of them might get into an argument again after she left.
“Jordan, why don’t you ferry me back to the office and let Miss Audrey enjoy the meal alone?” Victoria asked.
Audrey hurriedly said, “Hey, don’t go, there’s so much food. How can I possibly finish all of them on my own? Besides, your boyfriend has drunk some wine, he can’t drive. Haven’t I assigned a chauffeur to you? His name is Tim, right? Isn’t he waiting for you outside?”
Victoria shook her head and said, “Tim is too talkative and childish. I was about to fire him.”
Jordan could tell that Victoria was worried, so he said, “Don’t worry, I won’t argue with your boss. I’ll leave after having a drink with her.”
“Alright then.” Victoria could finally be at ease after gaining Jordan’s assurance.
After Victoria left, Audrey began to speak coquettishly with joy. “Haha, it just so happens that your girlfriend is not here anymore. Take me out for some fun after the meal!”
Suddenly, Jordan recalled the time when the two of them used to play with each other in England.
At that time, Audrey used to play with him and their two other brothers.
After some thought, Jordan asked, “Do you want to go see Jamie’s lover?”
The one at the cafe? Yes!” Audrey was also highly interested. “But you seem really excited. I bet you’re the one who wants to see her, huh?”
“What nonsense are you spouting? She’s Jamie’s girl, don’t fool around,” Jordan quickly denied.
However, he had to admit that she was really gorgeous! He couldn’t forget her!
“Haha, stop eating. Let’s go right now.”
Audrey immediately took Jordan’s arm and prepared to leave.
Jordan kept slapping Audrey’s tiny hand. “Cut it out, lest others see us.”
“My future sister-in-law has left. Why are you still so worried?”
Audrey was displeased that she had to pretend not to know Jordan when they finally got a chance to meet.
Jordan said, “There are many people in New York who know Victoria and me. My ex-wife, Hailey Camden, is now in New York too. If she sees me behaving so intimately with another woman, she’d definitely pester me.”
“Hailey Camden… I really want to see just how beautiful she is,” Audrey said with curiosity.
Reminded of Hailey, Jordan said, “She’s pregnant now, and her baby bump is huge. There’s nothing much to see.. If you want to see a pretty woman, let’s go to Café Nostalgia. That lady is far prettier than Hailey!”
Chapter 214: She’s Not Jamie’s Girl!
“Café Nostalgia? Why is it named Café Nostalgia?” Audrey was puzzled.
‘Could it have something to do with Jamie or her daughter?’
Jordan shook his head and said, “I don’t know. You can ask her when we get there.”
The two of them went downstairs and walked out of the Peace Hotel Art Center. When they were at the entrance, they discovered that Victoria was about to get into her car, so they stopped to wait for Victoria’s car to leave before walking over.
Jordan saw a young man in his twenties alighting from the driver’s seat before scurrying quickly to the backseat of the car and opening the door for Victoria.
He had a fawning smile on his face.
Victoria was the company’s deputy president, so of course, she could enjoy the treatment of having the door opened for her. She habitually sat in.
The young man smiled and pressed his hand against the roof of the car to prevent Victoria from hitting her head against it. Everything looked normal.
However, Jordan noticed that when Victoria put one leg into the car and lifted the other leg, the young driver had obviously ogled at Victoria’s legs several times.
Jordan was quite displeased. He asked, “Audrey, where did you find Victoria’s chauffeur? He doesn’t seem to be an honest guy.”
Victoria was a beautiful president of a company, and women like her were rare. Most people would definitely do a double-take at her.
Since he had a beautiful girlfriend, Jordan had long prepared himself for such occurrences.
However, Jordan despised the lewd gaze in the young driver’s eyes.
Audrey said, “I think he’s the relative of one of the deputy managers. Well, as you know, it’s common for people to pull connections incorporate.”
“If you don’t like him, it’s fine, don’t worry. Didn’t you hear Victoria saying that she’s planning to fire him?”
“Yeah.” Jordan nodded. It seems that Victoria had already discovered how lewd this young man was, so he didn’t have to worry about it.
Victoria got into the car, and the young driver called Tim returned to the driver’s seat. As soon as he started driving, he began to show Victoria his concern.
“Miss Clarke, why did you come out so early? How was the meal with Miss Audrey? I heard that your boyfriend is also here, is he the one wearing a white long-sleeved shirt? What does he work as?”
Tim bombarded her with questions.
Victoria did not notice that Tim had been peeking at her. She just wanted to fire him because she felt that he was too talkative.
Victoria said coldly, “Focus on driving, don’t ask so many questions.”
She knew that Tim was a relative of Arnold, the company’s deputy president, so she didn’t intend to fire Tim on account of her two-year friendship with Arnold.
However, Tim really talked too much as he would rattle on and on every single day. Hence, Victoria felt that she must find the time to fire him.
After Victoria’s car left, Jordan and Audrey came out too. Audrey had driven here on her own.
Although she was the boss, she had been abroad and rarely had the opportunity to drive in the country, so she didn’t get a driver.
Audrey drove Jordan to the suburbs of New York City. It was November, and temperatures had plunged, so most people had already started wearing coats.
Jordan remembered that the last time they met, the woman in the cafe was wearing a skirt.
He wondered what she was wearing now.
He pushed open the cafe’s door and saw at a glance the woman whose beauty was comparable to that of Hailey’s.
She was wearing a long hoodie dress with both hands in her pocket and was now smiling at the little girl standing on the couch.
Since she was not wearing pants or a skirt underneath, she must be wearing shorts, except that they had been covered by her long hoodie.
So, from a distance, it looked as if she was wearing only a hoodie.
In a big city like New York, many beautiful women tend to bare their long legs even in the cold during winter.
“Hi.”
Jordan took the initiative to greet this beautiful woman.
“Hi.” The woman also recognized Jordan and glanced at Audrey, who was beside him.
When Audrey saw the woman, she was secretly surprised. ‘She’s indeed gorgeous.’
“Are you here to get something?” The pretty woman asked.
Jordan shook his head and said, “We’re here to have coffee.”
“Oh.” The pretty woman nodded and then said to her daughter, “Baby, sit here obediently while I go make coffee, okay?”
The little toddler nodded very obediently and then kept staring at Jordan and Audrey.
After the pretty woman went to make coffee, Audrey took the initiative to go to the little girl. She played with her and asked, “Can I carry her?”
Thinking that the little girl was Jamie’s daughter and her niece, Audrey certainly wanted to carry her.
Before the beautiful woman agreed, Audrey took the initiative to pick her up.
The pretty woman agreed when she saw that the little girl did not cry.
After seeing the little girl, Jordan was also filled with tender feelings, and he said, “I want to carry her too.”
“No!” The pretty woman immediately refuted, “Sorry, Sir, she is a little afraid of male strangers.”
“Oh…”
Jordan did not reach out again and instead looked at the little girl’s eyes. She was obviously not afraid of him and instead even seemed to like him.
Jordan looked at the cafe and asked, “Has it always been quiet here? Although it is a bit remote, the environment here is excellent. It should be more crowded than this.”
The pretty woman replied, “Maybe it’s because the prices of the items on my menu are expensive. What would you two like to drink?”
“I’ll have a matcha latte.”
“Vanilla latte for me.”
Audrey and Jordan said one after another.
Jordan asked, “How much would that be?”
The pretty woman answered, “$30.”
$15 a cup is indeed quite expensive…
Jordan felt that this woman was operating her café for fun instead of running a proper business to make money.
Soon, both lattes were ready, and the pretty woman brought them to the table. She said, “Thank you for helping me look after my daughter. She seems to like you guys a lot.”
Audrey said smilingly, “Well, we’re a family after all.”
“Ahem…” Jordan coughed awkwardly.
The pretty woman was confused. “What do you mean?”
Audrey was about to leave the country, so she went straight to the point. “We won’t hide it from you any longer. Jamie is our brother.”
“You should be Jamie’s lover, right? Is this girl his daughter? Seriously, why did he leave you in New York City? Or do you not want to go to England?”
Surprisingly, the pretty woman replied, “You have misunderstood. I do know Jamie, but he is not my man, and this isn’t his daughter. He and I are just ordinary friends.”
“Ordinary friends?”
Jordan and Audrey froze on the spot, feeling extremely awkward for assuming that she was their future sister-in-law.
“Who told you that I am Jamie’s lover?” The pretty woman looked at Audrey somewhat angrily and questioned.
Jordan swallowed his saliva nervously, continuously rubbing his index finger with his thumb. He thought. ‘Audrey, you must be loyal and not betray me!’
To his astonishment, Audrey raised her hand and pointed at Jordan. “Him!”
Chapter 215: Victoria Becomes Billionaire President
Audrey pointed at Jordan while saying, “He said that the first time he saw you, he was certain that you were Jamie’s lover and said that this little girl was definitely our niece!”
Jordan felt incredibly embarrassed and really wanted to find a hole in the ground to burrow into.
‘Audrey, you’re vicious to have exposed me!’
Jordan was vexed. ‘I shouldn’t have brought her over.’
If he was facing an average woman, Jordan would not look so embarrassed, but he liked pretty girls, so he often hoped that he wouldn’t make any pretty women misunderstand anything.
Jordan looked at the pretty woman awkwardly, at a loss for what to say.
The pretty woman looked at Jordan, frowned, and asked, “Why do you think I’m your brother’s woman?”
Jordan was embarrassed. What could he say in response?
“It’s mainly because you’re too pretty, you’re the type my brother likes… Sorry for the misunderstanding.” Jordan sincerely apologized.
The pretty woman shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly and didn’t get bothered by it.
After finishing their coffee, Jordan and Audrey walked out of the cafe.
Enjoying the cool breeze, Jordan wondered, “It’s bizarre. Since this woman is not Second Brother’s woman, why did he leave the key here for me to collect it?”
Audrey smiled and said, “I think this woman might be a gift left to you by Jamie, just like Hailey in Orlando.”
Jordan was speechless. “No way? Even if it is really the case, he shouldn’t be setting me up with a woman who’s married and has a child, right?”
Audrey said, “What’s wrong with that? Don’t you men find such women attractive?”
Jordan said with an innocent look on his face, “You can’t assume all men are the same. She’s not my type… Besides, I have Victoria, and I won’t fall in love with any other woman regardless of how beautiful they may be.”
Audrey smiled and said, “Jordan, you’re really faithful and devoted, unlike Dad. I hope Victoria is also as devoted to you and won’t let you down.”
Audrey handed over the position of president of Perry Express to Victoria.
Victoria became the president of a company worth billions. Suddenly, she was conferred the title of ‘Most Beautiful President of New York City’, which spread like wildfire in the business circle!
That night, Jordan popped a bottle of champagne to celebrate with Victoria.
“Congratulations, Victoria, for becoming the president of a listed company with billions in assets!”
Holding the champagne, Jordan congratulated Victoria.
Ever since Victoria gave up the position of president of Ace Corporation for Jordan, Jordan vowed that he would make sure Victoria gets everything she deserved and more!
Since she had given up the position of president of Ace Corporation, which was worth a few billion dollars, Jordan would compensate her with Perry Express, which was worth dozens of billions!
Today, he finally fulfilled his promise!
However, Victoria did not know that this was all Jordan’s arrangement.
In fact, Jordan also thought about coming clean and telling Victoria about his true situation.
Since Hailey was pregnant and was due to deliver in a few months, something might happen to the baby if she becomes too agitated.
On the other hand, he also wanted to see if Victoria would look down on him after being promoted and becoming the president of a company worth a few dozen billion.
When she faces more temptations, can she stay true to her heart and continue maintaining their relationship?
After all, becoming the president of a company worth a few dozen billion practically meant having whatever she wanted in the country.
Billionaires like Russell and some famous celebrities who are young hunks would all come flocking to her.
She could have any men he wanted!
It’s just like how some men tend to cheat after they get rich, simply because there are too many temptations out there.
However, such people are unable to stay faithful and thus, are not suitable for being partners for life.
If you love someone, you should reject all ambiguous relationships for them!
“Thank you.”
Victoria clinked glasses with Jordan and was also feeling really emotional. “I feel like I’m in a dream now. A little over two months ago, I was still getting rebuffed everywhere in New York City, and I couldn’t even find a job.”
“But now, I actually became the president of Perry Express.”
Although Victoria was now the president, she was not a significant shareholder of the company, which was still under the control of Audrey.
However, Audrey gave Victoria a lot of authority.
Victoria suddenly said, “Jordan, would you like to come to the company to help me?”
“Sure, with what?” Jordan asked. He was a member of Perry Express in the first place and was also the one who was controlling everything behind the scenes.
Jordan was the one who set the development direction of Perry Express too.
Victoria said, “I want you to be the head of our training department. You have been to so many countries and are proficient in so many languages. You can train these foreign girls that we have recruited.”
“Alright, thank you, Ma’am, I will work hard!” Jordan said with a smile.
Victoria tapped Jordan’s high nose bridge and joked, “Do a good job, or I’ll fire you!”
At the mention of it, Jordan suddenly asked, “Is that young chauffeur Tim still your chauffeur now?”
Victoria shook her head. “Victoria shook her head, “No, I fired him today because he talks too much. If not for Arnold, I would have fired him long ago.”
“After I fired him, he was really indignant, and he even came to my office to reason things with me.”
Jordan was worried. “Nothing happened, right?”
Young people are generally more impulsive these days. Jordan was afraid that Tim would behave violently after getting fired.
Victoria said, “He just said a few things, and Arnold soon dragged him away.”
“I found another female chauffeur. Guess who?”
Jordan was puzzled. “Do I know her?”
Victoria nodded.
Jordan suddenly smiled and asked, “Is it Ashley Rose?”
Victoria chuckled. “Yes, it is. I asked her to fly over from Orlando. I’ve gotten used to her since she has worked for me for years.”
Jordan nodded, feeling at ease knowing that Ashley would stay by Victoria’s side in the future.
“Right, Honey, I’m going on a business trip to LA, and I’ll be there for about a week. You’ll have to be alone.”
Victoria said with a smile.
Jordan knew that Perry Express had already decided to send the Ukrainian girls to LA.
Jordan asked, “Is Ashley going with you?”
Victoria shook her head and said, “Ashley has just joined us and the induction procedures have not been done yet. I’ll be going over with Arnold tomorrow.”
Jordan was bewildered. “Why does Arnold Decker seem to be going on business trips with you all the time? It can’t be such a coincidence, right? Does he have a thing for you? Is that why he deliberately tags along with you on every business trip?”
Victoria paused for a moment and replied, “Yes!”
