Simon, who had just picked up the knife and fork, looked up in confusion: "What did you do on purpose?"

After Erin Lauder opened her mouth, she already felt that her thoughts were very untenable, and in the face of the man's gaze, she still said: "I think you deliberately seduced me." ”

Simon looked at the girl's more crimson face and nodded with a smile: "Yes." ”

Actually, admit it?

Erin Lauder's eyes widened slightly, but noticing the smile on the corner of a guy's mouth, she quickly realized that he was teasing herself, avoiding the man's gaze, and refused to admit defeat: "You...... Scoundrel. ”

Born in the Lauder family, many things that are unattainable for ordinary people are not a problem here for Erin Lauder, and the reason why she had a strange idea is mainly because the experience of the past weekend has touched her a lot.

The point is that it's a guy's sake.

Suddenly, she was turned into a wasteland thousands of miles away, where she could easily carry a rough gun that she had some difficulty carrying to show the wild side of the male to the fullest, and she could pick up a piece of charcoal that had not yet burned out after a picnic to help her draw a vivid charcoal portrait in the vast world. You can bully her until she faints when camping at night, or you can thoughtfully carry her tired on her back during the wilderness hike and hunt.

All in all, the weekend just passed was definitely the most special memory of her 25 years of life.

Not because of the thing itself, just because of one person.

Did he seduce himself?

Absolutely!

Just the name Simon Westeros is enough to make too many women lose their resistance at the moment. Not to mention the little woman who fell into the trap of the aura around him.

Remembering something, Erin Lauder looked up again and asked cautiously, "I noticed that you have been in New York lately?"

"I quarreled with my wife, na, this is your chance, behave well. ”

"Liar," he didn't believe it at all, but he inevitably had some expectations: "So, I've been living here lately, okay?"

"Okay, but I'm going back to Manhattan for work, and I'm staying on the Upper East Side for the next few days. ”

Erin Lauder stopped eating again, plucked up the courage to take the initiative and said, "Then I'll go to the Upper East Side and help you prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day." ”

"And supper. ”

"Uh-huh. ”

"No, I can't. ”

"Liars, conceiters, playboys. ”

“......”

Erin Lauder suddenly slowed down her tone again, and said pitifully: "Simon, I'm in love with you, you're going to be in charge of me." ”

"Or I'll kick you out now, there is an idiom in the East, that long pain is better than short pain. ”

"Bastard. ”

Seeing that the girl opposite was still glaring at him angrily, Simon restrained his joking expression, put down the tableware and said, "Come on." ”

Erin Lauder struggled for a moment, but still got up, turned the table and walked to Simon's side, the man reached out and sat on his lap.

Simon tilted his head and kissed the girl in his arms on the cheek, "You're a good girl, Irene." However, you know, we certainly won't have the kind of results you expect, and I just hope that our relationship will be a good memory in your life. If you want more, unfortunately I can't give it to you. ”

Leaning on Simon's arms, feeling the breath of a man, Erin Lauder found that the resentment she had just had just melted away spinelessly, listening to the man's words, she still felt a little uncomfortable, but she was reluctant to leave, just turned around and took the initiative to kiss him.

Of course, you can't just let him go so easily.

So, the two did not leave the manor in the northern suburbs of Greenwich until about nine o'clock in the morning.

Estee Lauder's headquarters is located in a prime location in Manhattan at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and East 59th Street on the Upper East Side, and at ten o'clock, Erin Lauder entered the company building, and her assistant hurriedly greeted her, reminding her father that Ronald Lauder was unhappy that she did not attend the company's regular meeting at 9 o'clock on time, and asked her to go to his office as soon as she went to work.

In the past, she was very scared of her father's reprimand, but since she called a guy last time and asked him to help solve the trouble of Estee Lauder's IPO operation, although she never said it explicitly, the family probably guessed her relationship with Simon, and inexplicably felt a little fearless.

After instructing an assistant to help her prepare a frame, Erin Lauder rushed to her father's office.

Ronald Lauder, who was buried in a pile of papers behind his desk, saw his daughter enter the door, and did not mean to reprimand at all, but asked a little kindly how the weekend was.

It's definitely not a good way to say it.

Erin Lauder was a little perfunctory, and took the initiative to bring the topic to the work she was responsible for, Ronald Lauder didn't care about her daughter deliberately changing the topic, the father and daughter chatted for a while, when Erin Lauder got up and was about to leave, Ronald Lauder saw that her daughter still seemed to know nothing, and took the initiative to ask: "Have you read the latest issue of Forbes magazine just released today?"

Erin Lauder was stunned, shook her head and said, "No, how can I ......?"

I just wanted to ask, but suddenly I reacted again.

Some time ago, I happened to see in the newspaper that Forbes magazine will announce the new Forbes American 400 rich list at the end of this month.

In fact, he doesn't care much about how much money he has now.

She could only look up anyway.

Well.

A pose that a guy loves...... Scoundrel.

Ronald Lauder didn't notice her daughter's sudden distraction, and when she said this, she took the initiative to hand over a magazine next to her: "I happen to have one here, you can read it." ”

"Thank you, Dad. ”

Erin Lauder stepped forward to take the magazine, and after making sure that her father had nothing else to do, she turned and left his office. As soon as she walked out the door, she curiously pointed at the Forbes magazine in her hand, and the eye-catching numbers on the cover directly gave her the answer she cared about the most.

$700 billion!

Tut.

That's a lot of money.

sighed a little in his heart, and couldn't help but calculate that the Estee Lauder stock in his name was equivalent to one-half of his personal net worth, and then, he didn't calculate it.

While walking, she flipped through the "Forbes" magazine in her hand, and when she returned to her office, the assistant had already helped her find a picture frame, saw the magazine in her hand, and looked for a topic: "Erin, you are also reading "Forbes", I have to say, it's really exaggerated, 700 billion dollars, everyone is talking about this. ”

Erin Lauder put down the magazine, took the frame from the assistant, carefully took out a page of sketches from her satchel, carefully put it into the frame, and asked with interest: "Jesse, do you think 700 billion is too much?"

Jessica's assistant said: "Everyone thinks it's a negotiated figure between Westeros and Forbes, like $300 billion last year. ”

It was the first time that Erin Lauder had heard this and was curious, "What do you mean?"

Jessica is a Harvard top student personally selected by Erin Lauder's father, Ronald Lauder, for his daughter, and wants her to be his daughter's assistant, of course, not a simple ordinary vase assistant. Think about it, the number 700 billion, and, well, for example, 712.5 billion, two numbers, which one can make people feel more accurate?"

Erin Lauder roughly understood, but smiled: "I think 700 billion is better to remember." ”

Jessica smiled and nodded, and said, "It's easier to remember, and it's easier to be ignored and forgotten, which involves some psychological knowledge." Therefore, 700 billion, and last year's 300 billion, should be a strategy customized for him by the team around Westeros. ”

Erin Lauder listened to Jessica, who had already framed the charcoal sketch, held it up and looked at it, and retorted, "Why can't it be a Western ...... What about Westeros' own strategy? I've met with him, well, a few times, and he's a great guy, definitely better than you think. ”

"That's for sure, heh, some of my friends have speculated that Westeros might be a vampire, and that there are so many oddities about him. ”

"Isn't that talking about psychics and aliens?"

"Obviously it's also a smoke bomb," Jessica saw Erin Lauder's excited appearance, and chatted with her: "Erin, if you've seen the video of Westeros boxing in the Australian underground boxing stadium, and, well, the "This Man is from Earth" at the beginning of the year, it is said that the plot of shooting a bow and arrows in the movie was done by Westeros himself, and ordinary people can't pull such a bow at all, which shows that his physical ability is different from ordinary people, and in various rumors, only vampires are eligible." ”

"Well, psychics don't count, so why can't they be aliens?"

Jessica laughed, "Because Westeros is married and has children, aliens are not easy to do. ”

When Erin Lauder heard the female assistant talk about a guy getting married and having children, she couldn't help but retort: "Can a vampire do it?"

Jessica sensed that there was a bit of bickering in her boss's tone, and without a trace, she changed the subject, looked at the charcoal sketch in Erin Lauder's hand, and praised, "Wow, this painting is really ...... Cool, Irene, is this you?"

"Of course. ”

Erin Lauder said with a little smugness, turned to the wall on the side of her desk, took down a Pop painting of Andy Warhol, and hung it up carefully.

Jessica really felt that the charcoal drawing in front of her was great, and then stepped forward to take a serious look, although the handwriting was slightly rough, but every line seemed to reveal the painter's profound skills, and the composition and layout of the painting content was with a special beauty of a masterclass movie lens, she could easily tell that the background of the painting was a vast eternal wasteland, obviously Erin Lauder's girl sitting on a fallen dead log, holding a large gun with an exaggerated shape in her arms, one hand on the body of the gun to support her chin, with a smile on her face.

Erin Lauder waited for Jessica to admire for a moment before asking, "How?"

Jessica glanced at Erin and said, "I feel that you are looking at your lover in the painting, very happy, like a little girl in love." ”

Erin Lauder was a little surprised: "Ah. ”

Jessica looked at Erin's expression and said, "Looks like I guessed right. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the painting again, and noticed a line of scribbled small characters in the lower right corner, and couldn't help but step forward to distinguish it.

Erin Lauder suddenly reacted again, and just as she was about to say something, Jessica had already read out: "To Erin, Simon." Oh, it's Simon. ”

Seeing that Jessica didn't have any special reaction, just a little teasing, Erin Lauder also reacted.

Simon.

This name is too common, but they can find a few guys named Simon in the Estee Lauder headquarters building where they are located, which is not special at all, and Jessica can be sure that this Simon is Simon Westeros at a glance.

So I calmed down, chatted with Jessica a few more words, and took the initiative to start the day's work.

After several years of accumulation, Erin Lauder is now in charge of a marketing team under her own company, except for being late today, she has been very conscientious in the past, and the team's achievements have also been recognized by the company's management. The two spent half an hour discussing their work schedules, sending Jessica to a team meeting, and Erin Lauder finally picked up the Forbes magazine again.

The work still has to be done.

It's just that I can't help but think of a certain guy.

Quickly browsed a detailed feature article about someone's $700 billion net worth, hesitated for a moment, or took out his mobile phone, considered it, and dialed out a text message a little clumsily, Verizon Telecom began to try to carry out SMS business two years ago, but because of the current mobile phone performance limitations, the experience is not good, Erin Lauder is rarely used, stumbling after editing, carefully checked, and then sent.

"Congratulations, Mr. 700 billion. ”

Seeing that the screen showed that the sending was successful, I thought that he must be very busy and would not reply immediately, so I put the latest Nokia next to him.

But I couldn't help but look forward to the sound of the text message prompt and immediately remembered.

However, it wasn't until Jessica came to inform her that everyone had gathered and the phone didn't ring, and she couldn't help but muttered a bad guy in her heart, wanting to put the phone in the office, so as not to distract herself from waiting, got up and turned the desk, and couldn't help but reach out and grab the phone in her hand.

And then then.

It wasn't until lunchtime was almost over, and Erin Lauder, who had been scratched by the kitten for a long time, finally received a reply: "Thank you." ”

It's so perfunctory!

Stared at the text message and grinned slightly for a while, but took the initiative to find a reason for him, he was so busy, it would be good to be able to reply to himself, so he hurriedly fiddled with it again, and wanted to ask him to have dinner together in the evening, however, after editing the text message, it was not sent out in the end, he has been with him for a weekend, and he can't be too greedy.

Otherwise.

Not.

Maybe he'll really make himself 'better for a long time than a short pain.'"

I won't let you succeed!

After being pushed back by a certain girl at breakfast, Simon arrives in Manhattan and has to rush to work.

Today's release of the "Forbes" American 400 rich list, also made Simon have to stop all morning, not only that, in addition to the "Forbes" list, for some reasons, Eaglet also released the single-quarter financial report for the third quarter of 1995 on the same day, Simon had just finished the video conference with San Francisco when he was free to reply to Erin Lauder at one o'clock in the afternoon.
