Lord Protector Novel

Sharon stopped abruptly. She gritted her teeth, turned around, and bowed deeply at Lacey.

“Ms. Hinton, this is a misunderstanding. It is my mistake for disturbing you. I will take full responsibility for my words

and actions. I will accept it if you decide to pursue this matter further.”

“It’s fine. I don’t blame you for this. I’ll just think of this incident as a joke you made. Anyway, I am quite impressed

by a career woman like you. Take a seat. Let’s have a chat,” said Lacey.

Sharon looked up in surprise. “Ms. Hinton, are... are you allowing me to continue with my interview?”

Lacey nodded. “Of course.”

A heartfelt smile crept across Sharon’s face. “Thank you. Thank you so much.”

Zeke commented, “You look good when you smile. So why do you always wear an impassive expression? Others

might think they’ve offended you because of your stern appearance.”

“That’s none...” Sharon was about to tell Zeke to mind his own business. But she corrected herself when she was

reminded of Zeke’s status. “Alright, I know now.”

Sharon began to interview Lacey with the notepad in her hand.

Her questions were mainly focused on Linton Group’s vision and mission. She also inquired about details related to

the June snowfall incident.

The interview progressed smoothly because Lacey was able to provide the answers to Sharon’s questions.

Dawn suddenly barged into the room near the end of the interview.

“Sis, Emily Clemons is here. She wants to meet with you.”

Zeke immediately fixated his piercing gaze in Lacey. I wonder if Lacey will continue to show Emily mercy after what

happened during the inauguration?

Lacey frowned as she said after taking a deep breath, “Dawnie, tell her to go back. I will never meet with her. Also,

inform her of this. We have completely parted ways with one another since she wanted to steal Linton Group from

me during the inauguration.”

Dawn nodded. Then she turned around and left the room.

Zeke regarded Lacey with contentment and relief glinting in his eyes. That’s more like it. You’ve learned from your

mistake. It is a must to be ruthless at times to prevent others from always taking advantage of you.

The interview continued.

But Dawn returned to the office after a short while.

“Sis, Emily is so shameless. I cannot get rid of her. She’s determined to meet with you. She’s even kneeling at the

entrance now. Emily said she will continue to kneel until you are willing to see her.”

Lacey hesitated. Her heart softened as she listened to Dawn.

But Lacey said firmly after she met with Zeke’s reproachful look, “Don’t bother her anymore. She can kneel there

all she wants.”

Dawn nodded at once. “Okay. That’s what I’m thinking too. That despicable woman had repeatedly caused us

trouble. She deserves to kneel there for the rest of her life. Oh? Are you a reporter? Why don’t you interview me as

well? It is my lifelong dream to be featured on the news.”

Zeke said, “Go away. There’s nothing interesting about you anyway.”

“Oh. For example... You can ask me for exclusive stories about Lacey and Zeke. Hahaha...”

Dawn left the office while laughing joyfully.

Lacey sighed helplessly. “Ah. She’s hopeless. Please continue, Ms. Edward.”

Sharon carried on with the interview as planned. Then she concluded their discussion after a short while.

Sharon hesitated to speak after the interview ended.

Lacey probed, “Is there something you want to tell me, Ms. Edward?”

Sharon nodded. She summoned her courage before speaking up, “Ms. Hinton, I wonder if there is a public relations

department in Linton Group?”

Lacey shook her head. “We’ve just established this company not long ago, so there is still a lot of room for

improvement. I am considering on setting up a public relations department recently.”

Sharon added in a hurry, “Ms. Hinton, you’re a businesswoman as well. I believe you must have realized the

importance of a company’s publicity. The company’s reputation can decide its survival. So a public relations

department certainly plays a significant role in the success of a corporation. I am wondering if you are willing to

outsource the responsibility of publicizing Linton Group to us, Tango Entertainment Corporation? We are not

engaged in a lot of projects at the moment. I can promise to focus all our effort on dealing with Linton Group’s

publicity if you outsource this project to us. We will put forth our best effort to make Linton Group a well-known

company in the entire Rivermouth or even the whole nation.”

Lacey ruminated on Sharon’s suggestion. Then she responded, “This is a decision that will affect Linton Group as a

whole, so I cannot make the call on my own accord. I will have to hold a meeting to discuss this matter further.

Please give me some time to consider your offer.”

Sharon nodded. “Okay, sure. Please contact me once you have made your decision.”

“No problem,” Lacey replied.

“By the way, it’s already lunchtime. Why don’t you stay here for a meal? You can provide our kitchen staff with your

opinion as well.”

Sharon seized the golden opportunity to build a good rapport with Lacey. “I’ll take up your offer then, Ms. Hinton.

Thank you.”
