Chapter 79 I’m Currently Pursuing Miss Bailey

Somehow, this simple handshake made Elias, who was sitting there, feel very displeased.

He picked up his coffee and took a sip. Instead of savoring the taste of the coffee, he treated it like alcohol.

Amanda’s way of shaking hands with clients always made him feel uneasy. He wondered how he managed to turn a blind eye to Grace’s intimate scenes, including sex scenes, with male celebrities.

He had always thought he didn’t care about things like that. But now that he thought about it, he probably didn’t care about whom Grace got intimate with.

Amanda, on the other hand….

The burning and possessive gaze made Amanda feel uncomfortable. She had to send signals to Elias with her eyes to not stare at her.

Zayne, who was sitting opposite her, noticed her sending knowing looks to someone with her eyes and couldn’t help but follow her line of sight.

And in the next second, Amanda was ignored by the client right there and then.

“Oh my, Mr. Winters! What are you doing here?” Seeing Elias sitting next to the aisle, Zayne stood up in surprise and went over to shake his hand.

Elias maintained an air of superiority and casually returned the handshake without standing up.

“I’m waiting for Miss Bailey.” Elias replied while staring at Amanda.

Zayne, being an astute person at his age, could see what was going on at a glance and pretended to be surprised. “So, you and Miss Bailey know each other, Mr. Winters? Are you two… in a relationship?”

He had already seen this morning’s news about Elias and that actress breaking up. It seems he has a newe target.

Amanda glared at Elias as if warning him. Don’t shoot your mouth off, or I’m going to block you right away!

Elias chuckled softly when he saw her glare. “No, but I am pursuing Miss Bailey. It all depends on whether she accepts me or not.”

“Oh… I see. You have great taste, Mr. Winters! Are you by yourself? Why don’t we sit together?”

Since Zayne didn’t normally have a chance to meet Elias, today was a great opportunity for him. He wanted to play up this man of power and influence. If he could cooperate with the Winters Enterprise in the future, his advertising company would become famous overnight.

Amanda sighed and rubbed her forehead in frustration. Wherever Elias went, he always stood out the most. No one could ignore him.

And now, he had stolen the limelight again. Does Mr. Jensen still care about the divorce or is he only focused on business?

With that, Elias sat down next to her.

“Let’s get started, Miss Bailey. Let’s wrap it up quickly so that we don’t delay Mr. Winters’ appointment. with you. I can’t afford to take responsibility for that.” Zayne’s words were as sweet as honey as he hoped to leave a good impression on Elias.

“Mr. Jensen, work is important to me. I take every case seriously. I heard you have many concerns regarding the division of property and I have drafted a new divorce agreement. Would you please check if the agreement is reasonable? Can you agree to it?”

Amanda then handed a document to the man across from her.

Zayne quickly scanned through the document and looked up. “I think it’s great,” he commented. “I have no questions. I will leave this case to you, Miss Bailey. I feel assured now.”

As he spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Elias as he observed the latter’s reaction.

Amanda was speechless.

Zayne had been constantly reading Elias’ expressions. As such, he was being oddly agreeable despite rejecting her drafts time and time again in the past.

Meanwhile, Elias appeared indifferent while he leisurely sipped his coffee in a calm and composed

manner.

“So, should I hand this divorce agreement to your ex-wife’s lawyer? Do you truly have no other questions?”

Amanda asked again, not convinced that Zayne wouldn’t change his mind once she was back at work tomorrow despite his compliant behavior today.

“Mhm. I have none. I’ll entrust you with everything, Miss Bailey. I trust your abilities.”

“Well…” Amanda suddenly didn’t know what to say.

Zayne tactfully smiled. “Alright, let’s wrap up the work. Everything is going smoothly. You two should go on your date. I won’t keep you any longer. I’ll leave first.”

After saying that, he stood up to leave.

Elias was quite satisfied with the man’s actions and spoke up. “Wait a moment.”

“Mr. Winters… Is something the matter?” Zayne was slightly startled, thinking he had done something wrong or said something amiss. He wanted to leave a good impression on Elias whenever and wherever “Please give me your business card,” Elias uttered in a deep voice. “For future collaboration.”

“Sure, sure! I’ll get it for you.” Zayne was dumbfounded. He hadn’t expected Elias to ask for his business card on his own.

He took out a business card from his briefcase and handed it over carefully with both hands.

After Elias accepted the business card, he gave Zayne one of his own. “Here’s my card. We’ll get in touch for any potential collaborations.”

“Thank you, Mr. Winters. I’ll be at your service anytime!” Zayne couldn’t stop grinning after he received

the business card.

Amanda got up to see Zayne off.

Before he left. Zayne glanced at Elias sitting behind her and whispered to Amanda, “Miss Bailey. I’m really grateful for you. You’re truly my benefactor. Do you know how badly I want to cooperate with the

Winters Enterprise? My advertising company would immediately establish itself in the industry if we could work on a deal together.” All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“Please don’t say that, Mr. Jensen. You’re still my client.”

“No, no. You truly are my benefactor. Thank you, Miss Bailey. I’ll take my leave now and not disturb your date.”

Amanda couldn’t help but sigh when she saw the CEO of the advertising company off.

Just what was that?

She didn’t even have to persuade him. It is all thanks to Elias, the revered man sitting there, that today’s work came to a smooth end.

As Amanda returned to her seat, she picked up her coffee cup and took a sip.

“Are you upset? Didn’t it go well?” Elias couldn’t understand why she had that expression.

Amanda couldn’t help but roll her eyes and replied to him without any emotion, “He was being so agreeable because of your presence, not because of the divorce agreement I drafted.”

“Does that really matter? What’s important is that things went smoothly and you can finish your work early today.”

“Thank you, Mr. Ex-husband. I can leave work now, all thanks to you.” Amanda grumpily packed her things and started to leave.

Elias also stood up. “Have dinner with me.”

“I want to go home. I don’t want to eat with you.”

“Then I’ll go home with you and you can cook for me.” Elias shamelessly suggested.

He vaguely remembered Amanda’s wonderful cooking when he had tasted her cooking four years ago.

Confused, Amanda asked, “Mr. Elias Winters, is this how you date someone? You are pursuing me now, not the other way around. Why should I cook for you?”

The man proceeded to reply matter-of-factly, “I would love to cook for you, but I don’t know how.”
