Chapter 65 Winning the Deal<\/p>\n
Deanna\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
For a moment, I had no words.<\/p>\n
Philip, that sly old fox, never missed a thing.<\/p>\n
Still, I wasn\u2019t ready for him to find out about me and Luis.<\/p>\n
n the past, Philip had used me more than once, pushing Jake to open doors for him.<\/p>\n
knew exactly how much Jake had tolerated just to keep Philip happy. How he put up with it, I\u2019ll never understand.<\/p>\n
lifted my eyes slowly. \u201cWhat could there possibly be between us?\u201d<\/p>\n
Philip didn\u2019t press further. Instead, he stood and went straight to the point.<\/p>\n
20 Free Coins<\/p>\n
\u2018Euron\u2019s luxury brand Muses is about to enter the domestic market. If we can get them into our malls, it will be a huge boost for<\/p>\n
is.\u201d<\/p>\n
Philip stared right at me. \u201cI want you to take the lead on this.\u201d<\/p>\n
froze. Muses was Euron\u2019s top luxury line. Until now, they had never entered the domestic market except for high\u2013end flagship nalls or exclusive luxury centers.<\/p>\n
For them to choose our malls? The chances were slim.<\/p>\n
Which meant the challenge was big.<\/p>\n
t looked like that eight billion investment had only made Philip\u2019s ambition grow wilder.<\/p>\n
Because of my hesitation, he dangled bait. \u201cIf you close this deal, the position of group director is yours.\u201d<\/p>\n
My brows lifted.<\/p>\n
So Philip was aware of what I wanted.<\/p>\n
He knew how to tempt me, and that title was the perfect lure.<\/p>\n
I could give it a try.<\/p>\n
Before I could respond, Philip added, \u201cThis shouldn\u2019t be too difficult for you. I\u2019ve already found out that the principal of Muses is friends with Jake. As long as you go to Jake-\u201d<\/p>\n
I cut him off, annoyed. \u201cDad, how I handle the talks is up to me. You\u2019ve always cared about the results, haven\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n
There was no way I would ever reach out to Jake.<\/p>\n
Philip gave me a long, knowing look, then patted my shoulder.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright then. I\u2019ll wait for your good news.\u201d<\/p>\n

And with that, he walked out.<\/p>\n
I had done some homework on Muses.<\/p>\n
+20 Free Coins<\/p>\n
The brand had been around in Euron for more than 100 years. It used to serve only the royal family and high society.<\/p>\n
In recent years, it had shifted toward younger clients, but it was still a luxury label reserved for the wealthy.<\/p>\n
Bringing Muses into the local market meant they would care a lot about the class of the mall.<\/p>\n
Our mall was a mixed\u2013use shopping center, not one built just for luxury stores.<\/p>\n
Getting Muses to move in would be extremely difficult.<\/p>\n
But if they did, it would show our businesses had taken a big step forward..<\/p>\n
Just then, Luis\u2019s handsome face flashed across my mind.<\/p>\n
He was a pure\u2013blood Alpha. If he were willing to help me, things would move twice as fast.<\/p>\n
But I quickly shook my head.<\/p>\n
Because of the investment, I had already become his woman without realizing what I was getting into.<\/p>\n
If I begged him again, I\u2019d lose every bit of dignity.<\/p>\n
Forget it. I needed to think of another way.<\/p>\n
Outside, the sky had gone dark.<\/p>\n
It was close to 7 p.m.<\/p>\n
Earlier that afternoon, Luis had texted me. \u201cCome to my<\/p>\n
house.\u201d<\/p>\n
When I left the office, I thought it over, then drove toward Hollyvale Estate.<\/p>\n
On the drive over, my feelings were all over the place.<\/p>\n
The last time I went to Hollyvale Estate, I was desperate, begging for his help.<\/p>\n
This time, I was going as his girlfriend.<\/p>\n
When I pulled up, the guards at the gate seemed to recognize my car. The old iron gates swung open right away.<\/p>\n
My car didn\u2019t rush in.<\/p>\n
Maybe it was just my imagination, but in the rearview mirror, I thought I saw the guards share a knowing look.<\/p>\n
I followed the instruction and parked in the wide, grand lot.<\/p>\n
Lined up across it were at least a dozen limited\u2013edition luxury cars, all sitting quiet and polished. My eyes lit up at the sight.<\/p>\n
Even though I didn\u2019t know much about cars, I could feel the weight of money in the air.<\/p>\n

How much did these cost?<\/p>\n
Each one had to be worth at least a couple million dollars.<\/p>\n
Now that Luis and I were together, could I borrow one and take it for a spin?<\/p>\n
That thought was still in my head when I turned around\u2013and there he was.<\/p>\n
Luis leaned against the wall, arms crossed, a half\u2013smile on his face. My eyes met his before I had a chance to mentally prepare myself.<\/p>\n
