Chapter 3779

Mr. Longbottom had never met a CEO who strictly requested him to make appointments. Regardless of whether their companies would be collaborating, no one dared to look down on him that way. The CEO of Costa Corporation was the only exception. Mr. Longbottom sensed that the O’Connor family was unwilling to work with Longbottom Corporation. Tati said, “Since your appointment is set for next year’s summer, you can come over at that time. With the festive season coming up, we probably can’t settle everything in time. Besides, Isabella’s schedule is really packed. She doesn’t have any extra time.” She said apologetically again, “I’m sorry, Mr. Longbottom. There’s nothing I can do about this.” Mr. Longbottom smiled. “Okay. I thought I could get a shortcut and skip the queue. Since Ms. Isabella has a busy schedule, I shall not force it. “When does your company’s vacation start? I prepared some gifts. I’ll get someone to deliver them over when you’re free. Please accept the gifts.” He had prepared a few New Year’s gifts for Isabella and Tati, which not everyone could have. The gifts were expensive too, consisting of luxury bags, jewelry, skincare, and other items females liked. Mr. Longbottom had managed to find out what brand of skincare Isabella used. He bought her a few sets of skincare and jewelry. On the other hand, he prepared bags and skincare for Tati. Since Isabella rarely used handbags, he did not get any for her. Presents for the ladies had to be practical and to their liking. That was the right way of gifting. If the presents were inappropriate, then they would be a waste of money as the intended effects would not be achieved. Mr. Longbottom, who had many women before, knew that theory well. That was how he managed to get his lovers to be docile and obedient. “Soon. You’re too generous. Thank you. You can just hand the gifts over to the receptionist. “I’m busy and often out of the office.” Mr. Longbottom grinned. He replied, “Okay. I shall not take up more of your time.” After speaking, he hung up. Once the call ended, his expression turned icy and hostile. However, upon thinking about the beautiful O’Connor ladies, his anger dissipated. He murmured to himself, “The challenge makes it all the more exciting. The sense of accomplishment will be unimaginable once I make one of them mine.” To him, a lady who would replace his wife could not be conquered with empty words alone. If it were that easy, the woman would not be as precious. “Let’s go back,” said Mr. Longbottom to the driver. The driver started the engine and asked, “Are we heading back to the hotel or your house?” After some thinking, Mr. Longbottom replied, “My house.” Staying there was pointless anyway.
