CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1142

The men sized up Lydia, and upon noticing her beauty, their faces immediately lit up with suggestive smiles.

"So, this is Miss Fay."

"Miss Fay, you're quite young to have secured such a close position with Mr. York. You must be something special."

Lydia’s expression remained unchanged. She had heard these kinds of remarks and seen these looks more times than she could count. If she let every one of them get to her, she would have been driven crazy long ago.

Quincy’s eyes turned cold as he spoke up. "Lydia earned her role as Mr. York’s secretary through sheer ability. In fact, she’s even more capable than I am, and Mr. York holds her in high regard."

Lydia was taken aback, glancing over at Quincy. She hadn’t expected him to stand up for her, let alone praise her at his own expense.

The men quickly caught on, with one of the executives still grinning. "You’re right, Mr. Quincy. It seems you’re quite fond of Miss Fay."

Lydia’s eyes grew cold. She had no intention of arguing with them, but they were still objectifying her, just shifting their target.

Quincy had already stepped in to defend her, and if she stayed silent now, it would only make her look weak.

She lifted her head and spoke firmly. "Gentlemen, it seems we're getting off track. The reason I'm here today is to represent Mr. York in evaluating this factory. Whether or not you receive his investment and whether your products are selected are what really matter, don't you think?"

Hearing that the discussion had shifted to matters of profit, they finally stopped making those ambiguous remarks.

At this point, if Quincy didn’t catch on to the underlying message, it would be a real oversight. His expression immediately cooled. These men were trying to change the terms of a deal that had already been agreed upon. It was a blatant sign of disrespect.

He narrowed his eyes and said icily, "So, you’re saying you want to raise the price?"

The manager's smile remained unchanged as he said, "Mr. Quincy, perhaps you could reconsider. We have our challenges too, and if this deal goes through, it could be beneficial for you as well. I’m sure we could arrange a little kickback."

Quincy’s expression grew even colder. He felt deeply insulted.

What on earth gave these people the idea that they could buy him off with a small bribe?
