His Domineering Lover
Chapter 313

The staff performance report would be issued once a quarter for the president to review, thus he could know the business performance based on it.

There was also a performance bonus for outstanding employees. It would be a great reward for those people's three-month hard work.

But due to the size of Xia's Group, there were many different departments which in different duties. How staff's performance measured was also in different criteria.

Tons of workload suddenly was put in the front, and she was required to finish within a day! Stella couldn't believe her ears as she usually started this work at least one week in advance.

The charger patted Stella's shoulder gently, "Stella, I am too busy these days and I forgot to give it to you. Sorry about that. But look, your ability is admired by Director Xia, I believe you can do it."

"But... I am not sure I can do this in one day." Stella held this thick stack of documents, asking in doubt.

"Stella, you don't mind working overtime, do you? I trust you and you can surely handle it." The charger left with a smile.

"I..." Stella stretched out her hand, trying to stop the charger, but she didn't catch anything. Her face was full of worries.

"Fine. Although I have only one day, I'm okay!" She encouraged herself. Stella was told by Tracey that a strong girl should try to overcome any sort of problem. So, she began to review the files carefully and didn't see the sinister smiles behind her.

Tracey arrived at Light & Shadow. The company was just set up. Although it was a new company in A City, it's in big size. It could be seen Carl's ambition to develop the domestic market.

As soon as she entered the lobby, a pretty receptionist came over. "Is this Miss Xia? The president has been waiting for you for a long time. I'll take you up."

"Thank you." Tracey followed her to the elevator, the elevator went straight to the highest floor.

Different from the bustling scene below, it was quiet on the upper floors. Tracey didn't even see any person on the floor she arrived at.

She was led to a gorgeous and retro door. "It's here. Please come in, Miss Xia."

"Okay." Tracey knocked on the door. When she heard the voice of a man coming in, she pushed the door open and walked in.

The decoration of the office was very simple and almost in black and white, barely had any other colors. Such a style made Tracey a little depressed. "Wow, it's not so Eric." She thought. "You're here." The office chair turned over and a man showed up. It was not Eric but Carl.

Seeing it was Carl, Tracey's face soon changed. "You?! What tricks are you playing this time?" She knew that there was no such thing as free lunch, sure enough, another bait to hook her up.

Tracey turned around and left, but Carl's voice came from behind. "This is the contract draft. Are you sure you don't want to take a look?"

"Contract, contract! Don't fool me with it..." Tracey thought. When she really saw the contract in front of Carl, she walked to him. "Don't play any tricks, otherwise, I'll call the police."

Carl smiled bitterly. He was indeed too anxious so he fell into Adam's trap last time. Thinking of this, he could never forgive Adam, the sinister man.

If not for his trap, Carl would not be forced to expose his desire for Tracey and finally destroyed his long-building perfect image.

"I won't hurt you again."

Tracey did not answer him. Instead, she began to review the contract. Because of worrying about the possible tricks lay in the words, she read it quite carefully even for couple of times. "Take your time reading it. You can sit down." Carl said.

Tracey didn't want to sit opposite to Carl, and she moved to the sofa aside.

Carl stood up slowly and made coffee. "This is what you bought. It tastes good. Have a try."

Tracey was lost in reading and didn't realize what she was doing, she took a sip of the coffee as if she was just tasting the water.

Carl walked to the window and opened the curtains to let the sunshine pouring on Tracey. In Carl's eyes, Tracey was a perfect match for the sun, which was totally different from him.

He got fascinated by Tracey's serious side face in the sun. Seeing her like this would also make Carl happy.

Tracey looked through the contract several times and finally finished reading it. T m done, no problem."

"Don't you have any additional requests?" Carl reminded.

Tracey shook her head. "No." She felt that it was somewhat strange. According to her habit, she would discuss the details with the other party on even the small contracts, then reached an agreement. Not to mention such big cooperation. However, the contract given by Carl was already complete so that she didn't need to do any discussion or addition.

Was it just because Carl worked for both Xia's Group and Light & Shadow, so he was capable of making a perfect contract?

"If you don't have any objections, I will let someone print the official version. I will email a copy of this draft to you, and you can read it again, then we can pick a day to sign the contract."

Tracey gave him a suspicious look. Was Carl used to be this kind? Why she had never found it?

"Okay, but I have a question. Why did you suddenly change your mind? Don't you want to be the vice president?" Tracey asked indifferently.

"I want to keep this a secret. In short, I don't mean to hurt you. Please trust me." Carl could have told Tracey that he wanted to make up for her, so he decided to quit.

But he was very clear that he made a trade with Adam on two pieces of land to make all this happen. Even the contract was drafted by Adam too.

Every word of the contract proved Adam's love. Carl of course didn't want to tell Tracey the truth as it would only sharpen his wretched image and strengthen Adam's greatness. "Keep it a secret?" Tracey felt strange more. In her opinion, this matter should be simple and direct, but why would Carl make it so mysterious?

"Have a taste of the coffee. I cooked it for you." Carl changed the topic.

The coffee had been cooling off. It was not as tasty as when it was hot, but it was still full of a unique feeling.

"The information about Eric is actually yours? The person who likes Blue Mountain coffee is you?" Tracey found that she had fallen into Carl's trap from the very beginning.

"Yes, Tracey. Actually, when I was in the United States, there were a few times..."

"The contract is settled. I have to go back to the company. Have a great day." Tracey stopped Carl's reminiscence. Even if he had done Tracey a great favor, it could not save him from the bad guy image anyway.

No matter what he said, Tracey would not believe it. "Cherish my life and keep him away." Tracey told herself.
