When Cheyenne declared that she was the general manager of the Brilliance Corporation, she immediately had the chance to socialize with them on equal grounds. In fact, she even aroused their interest because she was a rare beautiful female entrepreneur. So they surrounded her and began asking her questions.

Cheyenne didn't have stage fright either and instead chatted with the entrepreneurs of LA eloquently. Soon, they were engaged in jovial conversations.

Even the people who came over earlier because of Kenneth were soon attracted by Cheyenne and started gathering around her to socialize with her enthusiastically.

"Ah, so your company is in the apparel processing industry. The Brilliance Corporation has a large sales chain too. If you'd like, we can cooperate, Mr. Smith."

"Sure, I'm also very interested in the proposal you mentioned, Mr. Jones. Let's settle on a date to discuss this. How about tomorrow afternoon? Does that work for you?"

"Mr. Moore, thank you so much for your recognition. I'll immediately arrange for someone to come over and talk to you about the details of the contract. How does that sound?"

...

Cheyenne put her excellent negotiation skills to full use. Within a few short minutes, she caught the attention of many people, and some even expressed their willingness to cooperate with the Brilliance Corporation.

The area where Cheyenne was was extremely lively. Standing at the side, Kenneth was exceptionally gloomy at this point.

He initially wanted Cheyenne to beg him to introduce her to some potential business partners. But he didn't expect her to turn her situation around just by grasping a small opportunity. She was now chatting with these entrepreneurs merrily and completely ignored him!

If Kenneth didn't have to maintain his image in front of everyone, he would have reached out and pulled Cheyenne away.

At the side, Nikki didn't expect Cheyenne to be capable of clinching three potential contracts within just a few minutes. She was momentarily dumbfounded.

After glaring at her with a hostile gaze, Nikki finally snapped out of her trance and realized that she should quickly stop the situation from developing further. She hurriedly squeezed into the crowd and pulled Cheyenne away while chiding, "Ah, Cheyenne, even if you're a workaholic, you shouldn't be discussing business cooperations with others at such a time! It's the special antique exhibition hosted by the Coles today. If the Coles find out that you're just taking advantage of their exhibition to talk about work while ignoring these exhibits that required a great deal of effort to be put up for display here, they'll definitely be upset!"

As soon as Nikki said this, everyone else immediately realized something and was afraid that they would offend the Coles because of this, so they quickly gave excuses. "I'm so muddled. We should be enjoying the antique exhibition instead. Let's not talk about other matters now!"

"Yes, there are so many precious and exotic treasures here. I heard that many of them are rare items that the Coles specially brought over. We have to take a good look and appreciate them well so that this exhibition won't be in vain!"

"That's right! Let's discuss business another day!"

Everyone chuckled and left after giving some excuses.

Seeing this, Cheyenne naturally knew that it wouldn't be appropriate to keep them any longer. But most of her efforts had undoubtedly gone down the drain.

When Kenneth saw that the crowd had dispersed, he walked toward Cheyenne conceitedly and said with a smile, "Cheyenne, I've just done you a big favor, haven't I? I helped you get to know so many people, and you might even get to clinch several deals. Tell me, how are you going to thank me?"

Nikki quickly chimed in, "Yeah, if it wasn't for Kenneth, those people wouldn't have come over, and you couldn't have gotten to know them, let alone have the chance to potentially cooperate with them. Cheyenne, you really have to thank Kenneth! How about you treat him to dinner tonight?"

Cheyenne shot them a few cold glances before saying hostilely, "Mr. Parker, I remember that you didn't introduce a single one of them to me just now. All you did was stand by the side and watch. I was the one who took the initiative to approach them and clinched the potential cooperations on my own. It seems to have nothing to do with you. Why should I thank you?

"I don't think it's necessary for us to have dinner together because I'll be having dinner with my husband. I'm not that close to you either. I think we shouldn't bother!"

Kenneth didn't expect Cheyenne to be so hostile to him. Regardless of how thick-skinned he might be, he was still speechless at this point.

Nikki opened her mouth and tried to find some evidence to prove that Kenneth did help Cheyenne, but it was to no avail because they had wanted Cheyenne to beg Kenneth, so they chose not to help her at all. Now, they were both at a loss for a response to Cheyenne.

After thinking about it, she finally found another excuse. She coughed twice and hurriedly said, "Cheyenne, you can't say that! Kenneth just didn't get the chance to speak before you started talking to them eagerly.

"Besides, you've only verbally agreed to cooperate with them and haven't signed a contract yet. The outcome is still undecided! Why don't you let Kenneth ask those entrepreneurs out tomorrow to discuss cooperation over dinner? With Kenneth around, I'm sure they'll sign contracts with you! Kenneth, what do you think?"

Kenneth nodded and said in a gentlemanly manner, "Sure, I'd be pleased to do Cheyenne a favor. Cheyenne, are you willing to let me help you?"

Cheyenne frowned.

She naturally wanted to cooperate with those entrepreneurs, but she knew that Kenneth wouldn't help her for nothing, and she really didn't want to have anything to do with him.

Just as Cheyenne was about to decline, she suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind.

"Cheyenne, since someone wants to help you and is willing to host a dinner, it'd be a waste if you didn't go. Just agree to it!" Lucas appeared beside them

"You're here!" A look of surprise appeared on Cheyenne's face, and she immediately walked toward Lucas. Indeed, Lucas told me to wait for him inside, and he showed up as promised!

After being surprised, Nikki immediately reached out and pointed her finger at Lucas while rebuking hostilely, "Lucas Gray?! You… How did you sneak in?"

Just now, Kenneth had instructed the security guards at the entrance that they weren't to let Lucas in no matter what. Thinking that Lucas couldn't have gotten an invitation card, she wondered how Lucas managed to sneak in.

Kenneth had an incredibly dark expression. He thought that it was impossible that Lucas could have produced an invitation card, nor did he think that Lucas had bribed those two security guards into letting him in.

The only possibility was that Lucas must have sneaked in from elsewhere. After all, there was more than one entrance into the arts center.

Kenneth narrowed his eyes and threatened, "I don't care how you sneaked in, but let me warn you. You'd better get lost immediately! This is an antique exhibition organized by the Coles, and not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry is fit to enter. If the Coles find out, you'll get it from them! When the time comes, don't blame me for not warning you!"
