Chapter 721
Shirley was sitting behind her office desk and was in the midst of thinking how to contact Garrick, but
instead, she saw the two enter without knocking.
She scrunched her eyebrows together. "Don't you two know how to knock?"
Jayden and Shawn looked at each other and ignored her question.
"You guys gave me one week and it's not even been a week yet. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Long ago, Veronica had told her that the best way to deal with Jayden and Shawn was to be firm with
them, so she remembered that.
Hence, she closed her file and put on a serious act. "Instead of wasting your time here talking
nonsense, why don't you use the time to train with your teammates? Don't embarrass the company by
losing the game after I find you a sponsor."
Those words poked directly at Jayden and Shawn's soft spot, which rendered them dumbfounded.
"Sure. Judging from your words, I see you're confident that you can succeed. Jay and I will be waiting

Meanwhile, Jayden did not say anything; he coldly glanced at her and followed Shawn.
After the office was back to being silent, Shirley resignedly leaned against her office chair and heaved
out a long breath while feeling stressed.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
The phone on the table began to ring, so she picked it up and looked at it. On the screen were Skyler's
name and number.
Just one look at it was enough to make her decline the call immediately.
He had been constantly calling her since last night, but when she recalled how he had degraded her
back at Philwind Hotel's Rose Lounge, she could not help but feel angry. Therefore, she did not pick up
any of his calls.
After the call ended, he phoned again, but she hung up without any hesitance once again.
The silence only remained for a while before the phone rang again.
Frustrated, Shirley did not even look at the screen when she picked up the call and placed it beside her
ear before roaring, "Skyler Robins, don't you have anything to do? Why do you keep calling me?"
Once she finished, the other party fell silent.
Not hearing any noise, she asked, "Why aren't you speaking?"
"Ahem. .."The person on the other end coughed softly to clear his throat.
Shirley frowned and immediately noticed that the voice did not sound right. Then, she quickly brought
her phone in front of her and looked.
When she saw the name on her phone, she was so shocked that she sprang to her feet. "What? I'm so
sorry, President Brennan. I didn't know it was you. I'm so sorry..."
Although Garrick was not before her at the moment, she still bowed and maintained a humble attitude
when apologizing to him. She also used her other hand to tap her head while scolding herself for being
so stupid.
"No worries. Thank you for sending me back last night. Do you have time this afternoon? Why don't we
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhave lunch together?" He took the initiative to invite her.
His sudden attitude change made Shirley dumbfounded and she seemed to have a brain fart for a few
seconds before she nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes. I have time."
"Alright, then. 11.30AM at Lanci's Restaurant."
"Oh. Sure. I'll be there, President Brennan," she affirmed repeatedly, but Garrick had already hung up.
Still holding her phone, Shirley looked at the number again and her shocked expression turned into
excitement as she jumped up and down in joy. "Yoy!"
Since Garrick had taken the initiative to invite her, there was still a chance for cooperation.
Excited, she sat back in her chair and took out a book titled 'The Psychology of Business', and started
perusing it.
Although she was not into sales, discussing a partnership with someone also needed such knowledge.
Time slowly passed and it was 11.00AM.
Not wanting to waste any more time, Shirley left for Lanci's Restaurant in her car.
Once she arrived there, she stayed in the car and waited until it was 11.20AM before calling Garrick.
"President Brennan, I've arrived at Lanci's Restaurant. Where are you?"
