Luca stood beside and looked at Pierre's smile while feeling uncomfortable deep within her.
'That smile of his... One look at it and I know he's up to something. The attitude of this man toward Luke is very clear to everyone.
It was as though Pierre was directly telling everyone that he was going against Luke.
Even so, he was sneaky in doing things.
Luca frowned slightly and thought to herself, 'Pierre has done so many bad things behind our back, but before he gain benefits from all of that, he was stopped by Old Master Mallory.
'But how did he seize the opportunity for this project in Russia?'
Jason, who was at the side, said, "Mr. Mallory, I didn't hear about your company preparing the bidding document before this. How did you suddenly manage to prepare one?"
"Actually, I've been preparing it all this while. However, my company is small, not like T Corporation. Hence, when we decided to participate, we didn't announce it to the public. Why? You got a problem with it?" Pierre casually came up with something. He was not afraid of being checked for such things just because he had no evidence.
"Of course, there's no problem with it. I'm just curious as the few people I know in your company haven't been working overtime," Jason added, attempting to get insider info on behalf of Luke.
He had been following Luke for tens of years.
Given Luke's status, it was not suitable for him to gain any insider info. Hence, it was always Jason who would take up that job.
"Well, they're not involved in the bidding document. Luke has such a capable assistant like you. Why can't I have two capable assistants to help me out with the bidding document?" Jason purposely looked at Mr. Peralta, hinting that he was one of his capable assistants.
Mr. Peralta was feeling guilty after being called out. He helped out with the bidding document? If Pierre had not said it, no one would have bought it.
All he ever did was change the contents of the bidding document.
"So, that's the case. No wonder. Well, you really do know how to make use of talents." Jason praised, but deep within him, he could not help but feel suspicious.
'Can two people finish preparing a bidding document?'
Jason was aware of the people around Pierre. As an assistant, he too had his connections among this group of assistants.
Within the society, all the capable assistants were working under the bosses of huge corporations. Jason was well aware of the capability of Pierre's assistants.
They were not famous figures.
Hence, Jason was sure that Pierre was spouting nonsense.
Jason and his boss had made a fake bidding document to deceive Luca. They spent lots of time on it.
The moment the bidding document was completed, he and Luke dared not be sure that the bidding document could confuse Luca.
After all, she was involved in the translation.
They were just betting that if Luca really got her hands on the bidding document, she would hand it to the person who was controlling her to read through it in detail. Never would they expect themselves to win the bed in the end.
When Luca took the bidding document, she had taken photos of the contents. It was not that she had not gone through it in detail.
Luke heard their conversation and knew what was going on.
The fact that Pierre was asked to join this bidding had nothing to do with him doing it in an honest manner.
Pierre listened to Jason's praise and knew he was not being sincere. He looked at Mr. Peralta and said, "Well, I can't compare him to you, Mr. Doyle. Mr. Peralta still has a lot to learn. Speaking about hiring people, it looks like Luke is better at it. Not only does he have such a capable assistant like you, Mr. Doyle, but also a capable secretary like Tina. Now, he even has Dr. Craw...
He looked at Luca.
'This woman could take me down with just one hand, and she caused me to end up lying in the bed for a few days. I had to take analgesia like it's candy.'
She even made Old Master Mallory lose confidence in him.
Pierre could sense that Luca was not as simple as she may seem, but he would not back off just because of this.
He would make Luca pay back for everything she did to him. Têxt © .
Luke had a sharp gaze when he heard Pierre mention Luca. Initially, he did not plan to interrupt, but in the end, he still said, "The people around you are great too. It took only two people to complete the
bidding document. This shows how perfect they are."
Pierre saw Luke covering for Luca and shook his head while smiling. "Well, they still can't be compared to your people."
As he was saying, he looked at Mr. Peralta and intentionally said, "Mr. Peralta, if you have the time, please learn more from Mr. Doyle. I won't be so anxious that way."
Mr. Peralta quickly replied, "Alright, sir."
Pierre changed the topic again. "Oh, right, has your leg recovered? Fractures can be very serious. You must get a good doctor to treat you. Otherwise, you'll have problems in the future. Oh right, I knew an orthopedic surgeon. If you need his number, Mr. Crawford, I can help you contact him.”
"Sure." Luke also gave a fake smile and looked at Pierre coldly.
He did not argue or say another word. Pierre was acting cold, and judging by his arrogant look, it was as if he had confidence he would win the bid. 'I'll see how long he can keep that expression after we're back from Russia.'
Even if Pierre did not have the chance to go for the bidding document of this project, Luke would have to back out. That made Pierre interested.
At that moment, he would arrange another group of people to make the issue complicated. Perhaps, he would also be able to accuse him of copying the bidding document.
The more Pierre thought about it, the happier he was. 'It's going to be interesting if that happens.'
"After you come back from this business trip, I'll go make arrangements. Let's end the conversation here. That's my seat.' Pierre headed to his seat.
Mr. Peralta quickly went over.
Luke had a cold gaze, and asked Jason, who was beside him, "They didn't prepare the bidding document?"
"I didn't hear of it. This whole time, the assistants in his company have been getting off work on time," Jason whispered. He would keep in contact with the assistants from different companies, getting to know their schedules and strengths. This way, he was able to judge how well a corporation was doing.
If the employees of a corporation kept working overtime, it meant the company was busy and there would be a chance that they were preparing for a project.
If the employees got off work on time and were still able to take on the position of assistants, it would be impossible for them to have high working efficiency. It meant the company only had an ordinary workload with no urgent projects ongoing.
Pierre's company had always belonged to the latter.
"There's a problem with his bidding document," Luke said.
"It should be." Jason nodded and agreed with Luke. "I'm guessing that they got help."
After all, it was Pierre's company. Currently, they did not have the ability to come up with a bidding document...
"After arriving in Russia, go and look into it," Luke ordered.
"I know what to do, sir," Jason said. 'There must be something wrong with Pierre.'
Luca heard them both conversing and looked at Pierre. He was looking back at her with an evil gaze.
