Chapter 20 Shut Gavin Out
The next morning.
Gavin tidied himself up. He looked dominating and noble in the suits. He made sure he was in his beast when he headed for KS World Hotel.
He felt good in the hotel hall.
He had been there once last year. He was complaining at that time.
He was picky about every detail. Nothing about this place stood up to his examination.
But the hotel was completely changed. It looked like a standard five- star hotel.
Valarie had good management skills. She was a respectable opponent.
“This is the president of the Sheppard Group. Please tell Ms. Dodson that Mr. Sheppard wants to see her.”
Derek took a lot of effort to find Valarie’s secretary.
“I’m sorry. Ms. Dodson only accepts appointments.” The attitude of Valarie’s secretary was fine.
“Even for Mr. Sheppard from the Sheppard Group?” Derek frowned hard.
“No exception.”
“You!” Derek’s face turned red due to anger. He really wanted to complain about the secretary.

“If Tmake an appointment today, when can I see Ms. Dodson?” Gavin asked with a cold face

“It’s hard to say. Ms. Dodson has a tight schedule. You’d better come again tomorrow.”
“You!” Derek felt he was going to lose his temper.
“Alright, Derek. We shall make an appointment.” Gavin pulled Derek’s arm with gloomy eyes.
Losing temper could make him less like a gentleman and bring no good results.
After this failed visit, Derek gritted his teeth out of anger and smashed the car window with his fist.
“They are going too far. This is Polyergic City, not Capfield. Doesn’t Valarie fear that you’ll punish her for her arrogance?”
“We’ll come tomorrow.”
Gavin frowned and leaned backward. His sharp chin and neck arched charmingly.
“Have you heard what that secretary said? I’m afraid tomorrow won’t
work.”
“Then the day after tomorrow. Anyway, I have to meet Valarie in person.”
Gavin loosened his tie, his chest feeling tight. “The Hull Group can’t wait. Otherwise, they might be bankrupt.”
The next day, Gavin came to the hotel early in the morning. But he

But Valarie didn’t treat him seriously at all
On a rainy day. Valmic comme to work in a good mood.
Valarie wore sharp high heels and a double–breasted black suit. She looked like a female leader in the elegantly tailored clothes. She also wore a pair of gold rose earrings on her small carlobes. It was the finishing touch of the whole outfit
“Geez! Ms Dodson is so beautiful and cool. I love her
“Nince Ms. Dodson started working here, the female employees expect to see her outfit every day, and the male employees expect to see her impel–like face. They will be freshened up and more energetic at work ”
“I think she is the most beautiful rich lady. No objection, right?”
Nince Gerold was fired, all the employees in the hotel had been well managed by her. No department dared to slack off. Everyone strove for perfection in their work
Valarie used less than half a month to turn the hotel’s dire straits into prosperity
She knew that internal allaire were what mattered to a company the most. They were priorities compared with business wars
“The Sheppard Group has secretly put a large sum of money into the Hull Group. The Hull Group suffered heavy losses due to the
cancellation of almost all orders after negative news The money gives them another chance to struggle ”
Jason updated Valarie over the phone
“I guessed so. How could Gavin not help his fiancée’s family? He is so eager to be cheated on and take the blame. It seems that he can’t wait to die for his love.”
Valarie sneered. She kicked off her high heels and rubbed her sore ankles. “However, the collapse of reputation is not a problem that can be solved by money. Gavin put capital into the Hull Group. It is no different from giving money to a dead person. Nothing will be changed.”
“Gavin is a business genius just like you. He also understands what you said. But now there is no better way besides using money to stabilize the situation.”
Jason let out a clear smile. “Sometimes I think that if you truly love each other and work as a couple, the whole world will be in your pocket.”
“I’ll pass. It’s better that we stay enemies.”
Valaric took a chocolate bar from the drawer and took one bite. Her eyes were cold,
Roger rushed in impatiently after Valaric hung up the phone.
“Ms. Dodson, Gavin is here again. He’s so stubborn.”

“Well, I do admire his courage to save his love.”
Valarie didn’t even raise her head. She was busy signing all kinds of paperwork.
Roger somehow could sense a hint of jealousy and bitterness in her words.
“Ms. Dodson, this time, I will go to the reception in person and drive him away.”
“No, invite him here.” Valarie closed the cap of her pen and raised her eyebrows.
“What?” Roger was very surprised.
He has come three times. I have to show him some respect, right?”
Valarie leaned forward and stretched her feet a bit.
Roger hurriedly walked over, knelt, and helped her wear the high heels.
“Go to the café and find a girl with a pretty face and a clear voice. I have something to arrange.”
Ten minutes later, Roger led a qualified waitress to the office.
“Hello, Mr. Dodson!”
The waitress bowed deeply to Valarie cautiously. She was too frightened to breathe.
“Don’t be nervous. I have just temporarily arranged a small task for you. I will reward you after it’s done” Valarie smiled slightly.
“I’m very satisfied just working for you, Ms. Dodson. I don’t need any

reward”
The waitress’s face turned red. “I like you so much! You are… You are my idol!”
It turned out that the waitress was her fan girl.
Valarie looked at the waitress with a smile and nodded frequently. “Good. She has a similar figure to me. Roger, go and prepare a set of my clothes and shoes for her.”
“Ah? Got it.” Roger left in confusion.
“Ms./Dodson, what could I do for you?” The waitress asked sincerely.
Valarie’s slyly curled up her red lips. “Gavin Sheppard, the president of The Sheppard Group, will come over to meet with me soon. I don’t want to see him. You’re going to meet him on my behalf.”
The waitress felt her legs were sore out of terror.
“Don’t be afraid. I will monitor the office. You’ll be wearing Bluetooth carbuds. Just say whatever I say.
“Bear in mind that you’ll behave naturally.”

Gavin finally got the chance to see Valarie.
He looked cold, but he was excited inside.
The secretary led them to the elevator. Along the way, Gavin’s outstanding appearance attracted the attention of the female employees.
Derek was about to press the elevator button when the secretary stopped him.
“This is Mr. Dodson’s special elevator. You can only use another.”
“How arrogant.” Derek rolled his eyes.
Gavin didn’t say anything. He also had his special elevator in the Sheppard Group.
The elevator slowly ascended to the 40th floor.
But the elevator stopped on the 30th floor.
Please get off the elevator,” the secretary said.
Derek asked in confusion, “We haven’t arrived yet. Isn’t Ms. Dodson’s office on the 40th floor?”
“Yes. But this elevator will only reach to the 30th floor.”
“What do you mean?” Gavin frowned.
“Except for the general manager’s elevator, the other five elevators can only go as far as the 30th floor. No one can take the special elevator without Ms. Dodson’s permission. If you want to go to the 40th floor, there is only one way.”
Using the stairs?
Derek was furious. “This is how Ms. Dodson treats her guests? She is too mean!”
“I am only following Ms. Dodson’s orders. If you don’t want to, I’ll send you downstairs.” The secretary was simply an emotionless machine.
“Never mind. We’ll use the stairs.”
Gavin tightly pursed his thin lips. He suppressed his anger and walked out of the elevator without saying a word.

Did Valarie think that Gavin would give up after she made things difficult for him?
Giving up was never an option for Gavin.
