Chapter 14 However, she was short of money…
Ruby didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
When they were getting married, Ethan would not agree to it. He added more conditions, but now, when she wanted to get a divorce, he was unhappy, which confused her.
On the next morning, Ruby withdrew money from the bank.
2.5 million cash filled two bags that were a bit heavy, she directly took it to the lawyer. "Mr. Stowe, 2.5 million here should be enough. My dad’s matter depends on you."
The lawyer counted and was relieved as well. "That's enough. I'll do my best to defend your father at the court."
"Thank you." Ruby didn't know what to say and only expressed her thanks again and again.
She really should thank her father for knowing such a good lawyer and for taking on such a case, or she would have been in trouble just to find a lawyer.
"Ruby, Jake wants you to go to his office."
Just as Ruby returned from the law firm, there is a call from the executive office. She had to put down her things and hurriedly go to her office, then she found that it was a collaboration case.
Their company had a partnership with the investment giant, the Soaring Dragon long ago, whom they had agreed to negotiate with next Wednesday. However, as the person in charge of the negotiations, was currently lying in the hospital for the ectopic pregnancy, hence they wanted Ruby to go.
"Me? Jake, stop joking around! " Ruby didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'm just a person who specialize in data, but you're asking me to negotiate, just as pushing me into a pit of fire? I've never contact with this before."
"It's fine, there’s someone to accompany you. Just follow the instructions in the contract." Jake smiled: "I have no choice, if there’s someone more eloquent than you, I would not be in such a difficult situation."
Before Ruby could say anything, Jake showed the temptation and said, "If you go, I'll get finance to give you another twenty thousand for your travel expenses, and I will reimburse you the traveling expenses."
It’s so sharp to tempt her by money.
Unfortunately, she lacked money!
"Jake, remember to ask someone to book an air ticket for me." Ruby took the contract from Jake, it was just a negotiation, at least she had heard some business words from someone else before.
Twenty thousand was enough for her mother and her to live for three months.
After returning to her office, Ruby briefly read the cooperation case. Out of professional habit, she searched the Soaring Dragon investment company on Google.
It’s developed in Leeds four years ago and used less than two years to list overseas.
Ruby could not help but be shocked.
Four years of development, it was either a big boss or has a rich family!
Ruby drooped down the web page, longing for seeing what rank this big boss was. Her phone rang, she casually grabbed it and answer it.
"Daniel, I was just about to call you. Let me treat you and Candy dinner tonight."
Daniel laughed at the other end of the phone: "It seems like I made a good call. Alright, when do you get off? I’ll pick you up."
"Five thirty."
After sending the message, she stared at the computer screen, her mind went blank, and muttered: "What did I want to do just now? I'm getting older, my memories have regressed!"
She couldn't remember, and decided to stop thinking about it, turned to busy other things.
After work, Daniel came to pick Ruby up and eat together in a restaurant named “red house”. During this time, Ruby saw Candy kept playing with the phone and didn't talk to Daniel too much, so she was a little curious.
"Daniel, why doesn’t Candy say anything?"
Daniel patted Candy's head, with a bitter smile: "Candy has autism."
