Chapter 3164 Becoming Luke’s Mistress

Mavis knew it was a bit late to talk about cooperation now.

Their company had been kicked out by another company competing for the bid before, but the design plans were already in place. If they were to give up on this project now, all the efforts of the company's staff would be in vain.

Mavis then thought of T Corporation. If they could collaborate with T Corporation, they would surely secure the bid.

She presented her idea, only to be rejected by the boss, who assumed T Corporation would not collaborate with them at this point.

However, Mavis claimed that she knew Luke, and she insisted that their bid was excellent enough. As long as she could talk to Luke, she was confident they could make it.

The words she spoke in front of the boss were brutally contradicted by Luke's response. Mavis felt that if she could not turn the situation around, there was no point in staying in her company any longer.

"Mr. Crawford, our company is also a strong contender. If you're concerned about breaking the agreement with the other company, we can help with that. If you give US a chance to collaborate, we'll cover any losses caused by terminating your previous contract."

Mavis took a deep breath, now focused solely on fighting for this opportunity.

She had authority and shares in this company. If they could not collaborate with T Corporation now, she would lose face if she continued to stay here.

Therefore, Mavis was determined to fight for this chance.

Her eyes were filled with tenderness as she looked at Luke, hoping he would notice her emotions and understand the difficulties she had faced.

After all, she had worked so hard at T Corporation. Even if she had no major accomplishments, she had still put in a lot of hard work.

Even though this man might not have any feelings for her, she had handled so many things for him. Could he not help her out just this once?

"Not a chance.” Luke's rejection was as cold and emotionless as ice.

It was exactly the opposite of what Mavis had hoped for.

Or more accurately, it was precisely the opposite of what she had wished for.

Sylvester, who was beside her cleared his throat without saying anything, but Mavis could sense his dissatisfaction.

It was almost as though he was silently questioning her. After all, she did tell him that she had connections, so what was going on here now?

"Mr. Crawford, considering our past collaborations, could you give me this opportunity for cooperation?" Mavis persisted, or rather, she refused to believe Luke was such a cold and heartless person.

"Ms. Laviere, I've already made myself clear just now, and your company's timing for seeking cooperation is too late. Any company would refuse at this point. I have other matters to attend to, so please leave."

Luke, taking into account the troubles Mavis had resolved for him before, tried to explain as much as possible.

As for whether she listened or not, it was not something he could control.

Mavis's face turned pale, and her expression was one of incredulity as she looked at Luke.

Was he really this heartless?

Luke, however, could not be bothered with her. Everything was ready, and they were just waiting for the bidding. It was impossible for Luke to kick out the company T Corporation was cooperating with and choose Mavis' company just because he knew Mavis.

If he changed their cooperation partner, many aspects of the bid would need to be altered, and he had no desire for such self-torment.

Moreover... Luke was very satisfied with the current collaborating company. When he designed the courtyards of the old houses in X City, the designs were all completed by this company's designers.

He was very satisfied with the other company’s performance.

Jason heard what Luke said and added, "Ms. Laviere, we're about to close for the day. Please leave. Well get in touch if there's any opportunity for cooperation with your company in the future."

Mavis' eyes darkened. She naturally knew Jason only said that out of politeness.

She did not believe it, and neither did Sylvester beside her.

With a disappointed expression on her face, Mavis replied, "Sorry for bothering you, Mr. Crawford. We'll leave now."

After that, she stood up and glanced at Sylvester beside her.

His expression was not good either as he stood up and left with Mavis.

After the two left the conference room and were out of earshot, Luke said," Put Mavis' company on the blacklist. We'll never cooperate with them in the future."

"Yes, sir," replied Jason without asking for the reason. If the boss said so, he would do it.

Honestly, what Mavis did this time really shocked him.

She used to work alongside Luke, so how could she not understand this simple truth?

Seeking cooperation should be done early. Now, almost every company had completed their bidding proposals. How could she come to seek cooperation at this time?

How could Mavis, who used to be so responsible and efficient at work, become so confused now?

Was she forced to come here to beg for help from Luke?

However, anyone who had worked with Luke knew that his affection was only for those he loved. Someone like Mavis would never receive an ounce of sympathy from him.

After Mavis and Sylvester left the T Corporation building, they got into a car together.

Sylvester instructed the driver to return to the company. Then, he looked at Mavis with a grim expression and asked, "Ms. Laviere, are you ready to give up now?"

"Give me a little more time. I can find a solution," Mavis replied with a calm tone.

Collaborating with that construction company was her firm choice. Many senior executives expressed their doubts about the company's qualifications and opposed collaborating with them during the first meeting. They suggested other options.

Still, Mavis went against the tide and chose that company.

As a result, the cooperation was terminated directly.

This was something Mavis was determined to do. Now that the cooperation had been terminated, the company would come after Mavis.

She would never resign to her fate, so she thought of Luke.

She did think her hopes were extravagant, but she did not expect Luke to flatly refuse her request to cooperate in front of everyone.

He did not even give her a chance to discuss their design plans.

"What other solution do you think you can come up with? From the way you look and the mistakes you made earlier, it seems like you have other intentions toward Luke Crawford. But he's married.

"You're such a proud person. Why would you willingly want to become someone else's mistress?" replied Sylvester as he scrutinized Mavis from head to toe. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

He was married, but he had made advances toward Mavis before.

However, she rejected him outright, claiming that she would never be a mistress.

He was angry at that time, but considering Mavis' work ability, he did not dismiss her.

However, Mavis' significant mistake this time has caused the company to lose a considerable amount of money. She had yet to figure out how to patch things up. Sylvester was already displeased with her.

When he saw Mavis looking at Luke with such affectionate eyes, it made him even more dissatisfied.

He was well aware of his own limitations, and he did not hold a candle to Luke. Yet, the same person who adamantly declared she would not be a mistress for anyone else was now willing to be one for Luke.

At the thought of this, Sylvester became even more resentful.

After all, he was Mavis' boss now. Her attitude toward him as her boss was one thing, but her attitude toward Luke was another. Did she think she was superior and could lord over everyone else in this company? Did she think this place was not worthy of her?
