Chapter 3165 Mavis Holds Shares In The Company


    Mavis'' face flushed red and then paled under the sting of Sylvester''s words.


    If it were Luke, would she agree to be his mistress? She was willing to stand beside that god-like man


    regardless of her status.


    Mavis also felt she had the ability to be his only one.


    However, Luke did not give her that chance.


    Apart from Luke, Mavis would never be any other man''s mistress, including Sylvester who was in front


    of her.


    "Boss, why are you bringing up the past?" She knew Sylvester was dissatisfied. He was deliberately


    picking on her, even intending to mock her.


    Sylvester narrowed his eyes and said, "Ms. Laviere, as you know, I have no feelings for that hag at


    home. If you agree to be with me, I''ll give you the best, including a family. You''ll be my wife then. Why


    won''t you agree?"


    He admired Mavis.


    Not only was she beautiful, but she was also incrediblypetent at her job.


    Sylvester knew that although Mavis had made a mistake this time, as long as she continued to work in


    thepany, she would definitely bring huge benefits to thepany.


    Elevating his wealth and status a bit more would not be a problem.


    However, Sylvester had also looked into Mavis'' past. Mavis stayed at T Corporation the longest. Every


    company she joined after that, she did not stay for long. The reason was straightforward-she felt they


    lacked challenges.


    Whenever apany started to stagnate, she would simply quit.


    No matter how thosepany''s bosses tried to retain her or what conditions they offered, Mavis would


    not agree.


    Sylvester appreciated her drive for improvement, but he also knew that if things continued like this, he


    would not be able to keep her in hispany for long. Hence, he was thinking about making her work


    for him continuously.


    The best way to keep her was to make her his woman.


    However, Mavis seemed uninterested in that. Sylvester thought she was just proud, especially since his


    previous investigations had not revealed any involvement with her former bosses.


    Yet, today he learned that Mavis was not proud. She simply looked down on people like him.


    "Boss, I''m not interested in being a mistress. And I''m not interested in destroying someone else''s


    marriage to climb up thedder. Please have some self-respect." As Mavis spoke, she stared down at


    his hand firmly.


    As Sylvester spoke, his hand had wandered and was now resting directly on her thigh.


    Mavis had to muster all her self-control to keep herself from pping his wandering hand.


    Sylvester looked at her and withdrew his hand as though nothing had happened. His expression turned


    cold.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    "Ms. Laviere, I value you as a talent, but if you don''t want the opportunity I give you, don''t me me for


    turning cold. You''ll bear the loss of this project. Even though you''re a shareholder of thepany, we


    have to handle business affairs impartially. Do you understand what I mean?"


    Of course, Mavis understood. What was there not to understand?


    It was just about taking responsibility for the project and thepany.


    If it was a normal mistake that led to the loss, she would definitely take responsibility. However, for this


    project, even if they cooperated with the previouspany, they might not secure the suburban


    development project.


    Besides the early losses involving design and employee time, there were no other losses.


    On the contrary, thepany also received a sum ofpensation from the otherpany.


    "Boss, what exactly is this loss you''re talking about? Do you think that if I had followed everyone''s


    advice and we cooperated with the other constructionpany, we could''ve won this bidding project?"


    asked Mavis.


    Sylvester was taken aback for a moment.


    Mavis'' sharp tongue left him unable to respond.


    He also knew deep down that the probability of them securing this bidding project was low.


    There were so many outstanding construction firms out there, and the ones they could coborate with


    were only of average industry standards. Suchpanies basically had no advantage in bidding wars.


    As such, there really was no loss to be talked about.


    "After thatpany decided to cancel the contract, ourpany receivedpensation. Shouldn''t


    thispensation be counted as part of thepany''s assets? Where''s the loss?" Mavis continued to


    question.


    Sylvester persisted, saying, "I don''t care. If it weren''t for your decision to go with thispany, our


    work could have been seen by our peers. Are you questioning the design capabilities of ourpany''s


    designers?


    "With such an excellent proposal, ourpany would''ve had many potential clients once other people


    saw it. Now, that opportunity is lost. Isn''t that a loss?"


    A smirk yed on Mavis''s lips.


    Sylvester continued, "Instead ofpensation, I''d rather have that precious opportunity."


    As Mavis listened to Sylvester''s words, she could only secretly let out a sigh and mutter to herself, ''A


    man''s mouth is best at speaking nonsense.''


    Rather not have thatpensation? She remembered clearly how Sylvester could not stop smiling


    when they received thatpensation.


    Mavis replied, "Then you could''ve refused to receive thatpensation or even sue them in court. That


    way, thepany''s design would still have gotten exposure." "You!" Sylvester did not expect Mavis to


    say such things.


    Mavis added, "Both you and I know the level of thepany''s designers. Do you think their designs


    are outstanding? They''re just average.


    "Let me tell you honestly why I chose thatpany. It’s because I thought they might cancel the


    contract anytime. That way, thepany could still gain some ie on paper.


    "But one thing surprised me. They canceled the contract sote. If it had been earlier, do you think


    those excellent designs could still be showcased to others?


    "But after so many years in architectural design, I know thepany''s design level well. We simply


    can''t handle those top-notch projects." "Mavis!" Sylvester’s tone carried a warning.


    She was looking down on thepany''s designers and hispany!


    Since she looked down on them, why was she still here? She might as well go to anotherpany!


    Not only did she stay, but she also heldpany shares! Was that not showing contempt for the


    company?


    Mavis could guess what was on his mind, so she reminded him, "Every time I join a newpany, I


    make a point to negotiate for a stake in it. I know I have the skills to turn apany around, so when it


    seeds, the shares I hold be valuable.


    "To be honest, my ownership ofpany shares isn''t based on thepany''s potential. It''s simply a


    reflection of my confidence in myself.”


    She had no desire to engage in a confrontation with this man, but his calcting behavior and


    relentless dredging up of past rejections tested her patience. His persistent sense of entitlement was


    wearing thin on her nerves.


    It seemed that only by confronting him would he stop dwelling on those matters.


    Slyvester''s face flushed with anger at her words, turning into the color of beetroot. He wanted toe


    up with a retort to Mavis but found himself at a loss for words.


    He even considered the idea of firing her.


    However, he could not go through with it because Mavis held shares in thepany.
