In the kitchen, Rodney hated himself for having good hearing.
She saw a man who looked like a dog? That man was like a girl?
He was effeminate?
Rodney was 100% sure that Mireya was talking about him.
This was simply an insult to him.
He tightened his grip on the kitchen knife and took a deep breath. He had to endure it.
After chatting with her mom for more than 40 minutes, a fragrant smell came from the kitchen, and she hung up the video call.
Before long, Rodney came out with plates of steak, sashimi, and fried… tempura. She was dumbfounded.
“Holy sh*t. You can actually cook?”
Her eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost.
Rodney gritted his teeth. “Do you have to be so surprised? Is it strange that I can cook?”
“Yeah. In my eyes, you’re just a useless, pampered young master who doesn’t know how to do anything other than follow Sarah’s orders and do her bidding every day.” Mireya nodded without hesitation.
He should have put some poison in the dish earlier to end it all.
Mireya cut a tiny piece of steak and tasted it. The taste was surprisingly… damn good. It was as authentic as the steak she had in Country F.
The tempura tasted like it was from Japan, and even the sashimi was especially tender and fresh. Ahem, of course, this had to do with her good ingredients.
“Did you really make this yourself?”
She was curious. “You didn’t have your subordinates send it in from the kitchen window with a drone, right?”
“No, I made it myself. I’ve liked to cook since I was young, okay?” Rodney really could not stand it.
“This is really unexpected. Shaun’s cooking is a disaster, so I never thought he’d have a friend like you. ” Mireya sighed again. It was the first time she carefully observed Rodney.
The man’s features were handsome, and his peach eyes seemed like they could entice someone at any time. His slender figure brought out the best in any clothing.
If he were to join the entertainment industry, he would definitely be the type that women go crazy for.
“Why are you looking at me like that? I’m telling you. I won’t fall for you.” Rodney felt uncomfortable under her gaze and quickly said, “
Can we talk about the formula now?”
“Sure. Go ahead.” Mireya nodded.
Rodney said, “Rodney said, “I know you want to collaborate with SE Group, but I have to remind you that SE has always been a secondary association skincare brand in the country. It usually targets students. The upper-class women look down on the
brand. If you work with them, you’ll be lowering your stature.”
“Secondly, SE Group has fewer outlets than us, whether it’s domestic or abroad. If you choose Osher Corporation, your products will have a chance to be popular worldwide. But if you choose S E, it can only be sold in Australia at most. Besides, President Hatch is a stingy, extremely cruel, and merciless man…”
“As if you’re not cruel and merciless too.” Mireya mocked.
Rodney braced himself and said, “President Hatch has a habit of keeping women. He throws money to the women outside but doesn’t give a single cent to his wife at home. Believe me.
“He’s so rich, but his wife and daughter still live in a two-bedroom house. Once this scandal breaks out, it’ll be a huge blow to SE. After all, SE earns money from women.”
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell President Hatch?” Mireya raised her eyebrows.
“I’ve already sent all the evidence related to his cheating to his wife. She’ll probably make a scene soon.” Rodney slowly and methodically cut his steak as he said, “Even if his wife doesn’t make a scene, I have the ability to escalate it.”
“ I believe you. Who doesn’t know that the Jewell family owns half of the country’s online media?” Mireya laughed. “President Snow, it seems like I’ve underestimated you.”
“No, you didn’t underestimate me. You just overestimated SE Group.” Rodney shook his head.“ The remaining domestic brands aren’t big enough t o compete with Osher. Although we’ve had many unpleasant incidents before, you’re a smart person, Ms. Lynch. Why make it difficult for your money and career?”
Mireya sneered. “ If I hadn’t fought hard, my future would’ve been ruined by you guys. Rodney Snow, ask your conscience. Have you ever felt guilty about me?” “That year, even if I didn’t get along with Sarah, you could still come at me. Why did you have to be so ruthless at work?”
“To you, I’m just an ordinary cosmetic chemist. But have you ever thought about how hard we work to climb up to where we are?
“When all you young masters were out drinking and playing, we were still burning the midnight oil i n the laboratory. When you went out to play ball
and go fishing, we stayed at home hitting the books.”
Mireya’s eyes could not help but redden as she spoke.
“Do you understand how desperate you made me when you shut me off back then? The incident with Thomas Neeson coincidentally happened at the same time as well, and I was egged on at the supermarket. I couldn’t find a job and couldn’t stay in the country, so I had to go overseas.
“As a newcomer, I was looked down upon overseas. I didn’t even go back to my apartment every day. Out of 365 days a year, I spent 350 days in the lab and fainted several times.
“There were two times I lay on the cold ground all night and woke up by myself to go to the hospital. I
have thought of giving up, but I wanted to fight back and regain my lost self-esteem.”
The more she thought about it, the sourer her heart felt, and her tears rolled down.
“Hey, don’t cry.”
Rodney felt a little guilty as he listened, and he became at a loss seeing her cry.
She made it seem as if he was really a scumbag.
“I’m sad and hurt, but you don’t even let me cry.” Mireya’s tears fell down in large drops.
However, there was a saying that if a person was beautiful, they looked beautiful no matter how hard they cried. It was like raindrops falling on flower petals.
“Okay, go on and cry. ” Rodney fell silent from her scolding.
“Rodney Snow, are you a man? I’m crying, but you still don’t know how to comfort me. It’s no wonder you can’t find a girlfriend.” Mireya threw the tissue that she had used to wipe her tears with at him.
“…Mireya Lynch, you’re being a little unreasonable.” Rodney was exasperated.
“Women are always unreasonable.” Mireya sniffled.
Her tear-stained delicate, petite, and fair face now had a reddish tint to it.
Looking at her, Rodney somehow thought that her skin was really good, and she actually looked a little cute after crying. 1
“I’ve thought it over. We can cooperate.”
Mireya suddenly said, “The formula is 20 million dollars each. At the same time, I also want lo percent of Osher Corporation’s shares. Every year, Osher will have to invest 40 million dollars in developing new products. On top of that, I want to serve as the director of Osher’s R&D department.”
Rodney was shocked. “The other conditions are fine, but you want 1o percent of the shares? That’s daylight robbery.”
“Think about it. If you don’t collaborate with me, I’ll still choose SE. Even if SE is plagued by negative gossip, why won’t I want to earn money? Besides, you should understand my strength. A talented cosmetic chemist like me can be discovered but not sought after. Whether you seize this opportunity or not will depend on you.”
