“Alright. But aren’t you afraid that I’ll embarrass you? You used to say that you couldn’t take me anywhere,” I answered Gordon immediately.
I couldn’t help needling him again.
He looked indifferent but shook his head.
“You can show them your skills in playing the piano. Also, how’s your Inglice?”
It seemed that my performance at the last mid–year banquet had made Gordon see me in a different light.
“My Inglice is alright, but I haven’t spoken the language in a few years,” I said, smiling calmly.
To be honest, I was simply being modest. My parents had employed a professional foreign teacher to train me since childhood. I had no problem with Inglice.

“Alright. Then just cooperate with me. If we can do business with them, then Holmes Group can expand again this year,” Gordon said in a low voice.
He had used the term “we“, which startled me.
Was he already treating me as part of the Holmes family?
He seemed to have no intention of divorcing me and was instead depending on me more. He was even willing to let me attend important events now.
That was good. That way, he and Sabrina wouldn’t grow close so quickly. Now that Nathan. was there to delay Sabrina, I didn’t think that she would try anything with Gordon for now.
I suddenly felt happy.
Although I had never accompanied Gordon in entertaining important guests, I remember that an important job like this would also require a lot of fresh flowers and floral arrangements for decor.
Moreover, it would be a long journey from picking up the guests at the airport until they entered the Holmes Group building, including the conference room decor. All of that would require planning and decoration.
Sabrina’s family only owned a small flower shop, and it was unlikely that they would be able to take on such a large–scale arrangement of flowers. Would Gordon trust them?

Couldn’t help asking, “Who will be decorating the venue? It isn’t Sabrina, is it?”
Gordon nodded.
“Planning is Sabrina’s specialty. She said that she’s done many large–scale event decor with her mother since she was in university. There shouldn’t be a problem.”
Apart from his natural attraction to Sabrina, he also held an innate trust in her. It made me
envious.
“Oh… but having a backup plan would still be better. If things don’t go well, we can still fix it, “I couldn’t help suggesting.
Gordon looked slightly displeased at my remarks.
He impassively said, “The flower contract has already been confirmed, so we don’t need to discuss it anymore. If there are other opportunities for collaboration in the future, I will prioritize your friend.”
In his current state, Gordon would surely get angry if I mentioned it again.
I dismissed the notion. It seemed that there was nothing I could do about it. Although I felt that it was very unfair, there was nothing to be done.
If I couldn’t continue down this path, I would just have to find another way.
Time always flew by whenever I was busy. In the blink of an eye, the day came for Holmes Group to welcome the VIPs from Aribia.
My look had to match Gordon’s, so I had an elegant, dark blue dress suit tailor–made for me. The top half was a blazer that accentuated my waist with a thin belt, and the bottom half was a knee–length skirt. I matched it with a pair of white leather shoes and finished the look off with a white T–shirt inside. The entire outfit was designed to make me look elegant, clean, and refined. Gordon had also chosen a dark blue tie to go with his custom–made navy blue suit to match me as well.
