His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 291 What's Your Relationship

"I know that you'll present your proposal first. So what?" Autumn asked, puzzled and cast a sidelong

glance at Paula.

"Autumn, if I were you, I would drop out of the bidding now, lest it should be a disgrace." Paula taunted,

smiling as if she had already won. "As a planner who is famous for copying, you have the gall to

compete with Dark Blue Company! That's ridiculous. I'm telling you, Cloud Advertising Company's

reputation has been irreparably tarnished. Thanks to you."

"Get your mind out of the gutter." Isla angrily stepped forward and ready to claw out at Paula but

Autumn stopped her. Autumn looked at Paula coldly and said, "Paula, we compete with schemes and

ideas, not lip service. What advantage do you get by mocking me? Stop dreaming!"

Then Autumn stepped closer. "Don't forget that you never beat me when we were at Cloud Advertising

Company. Would you like me to recall it for you?"

"You... " Paula gritted her teeth furiously because what Autumn said was a fact that she could not

refute. But she calmed down and said, "Don't count the chicks before they hatch. Let's wait and see

who wins."

"Yeah, we'll see." Autumn replied confidently and pulled Isla away. Watching them go, Paula fiercely

called out, "Humph, you're gonna be the ones who'll end up looking like trash today."

"Gosh, Paula is everywhere and constantly on you!" Isla said helplessly. "I warned you to be on your

guard against her, but I didn't expect her to come after you all the time."

"I'm okay." Autumn smiled and said, "She just bickers with me once in a while. But she never really

wins. I have nothing to lose."

"I just can't stand her attitude towards you." Isla complained.

Autumn held her hand, and soothed her, "Come on, don't let her get to you. It doesn't even work on

me." Then she quickly put on a cunning smile and changed the subject. "Oh, by the way, why did you

ask for a leave yesterday?"

"I... " Isla turned red and hesitated. Finally she said, "I had something to deal with... "

"What is it?" Autumn persisted in probing, making Isla's face even redder.

Then she stammered, "It's... It's about Aron. He was in the hospital yesterday and I went to look after

him." Last night, Aron insisted that she went home. This morning, she got up early and came directly to

Giant Promise Company. She was worried about him.

"Didn't you say you would never be with him again? It hasn't been long. Or, have you forgotten that?"

Autumn was delighted to know that they were getting back together, but couldn't help making fun of

Isla.

"Autumn... " Isla was getting annoyed and elbowed her.

As they were talking, Andy came. Seeing Autumn, he went straight to her and greeted her, "Hi,

Autumn, why are you here in person today?"

"I was abroad when the previous proposals were made. That's why I couldn't come then, " Autumn

replied with a smile. "I'm back now, so I came. I wanted show the importance my company attaches to

this proposal."

Andy let out?a debonair laugh and said, "After the proposal, you can come home with me. Your

grandparents are looking forward to your visit."

"Okay." Autumn slightly nodded. Seeing Andy and Autumn having a friendly familiar chat, all the people

present speculated on what relationship Autumn and Andy may have.

Paula was furious when she saw them laughing and talking. 'Why is Autumn so lucky? Almost all the

men are around her, and now Giant Promise Company's Boss is too familiar with her. That's not fair!'

Her heart was about to burst.

"Don't expect me to play favoritism because of our relationship. I'm telling you, I'll be tougher on you.

Do you understand?" Andy joked out loudly and tried to put on a serious face.

"Rest assured, Mr. Xu, " Autumn laughed. "I'm ready for whatever you throw at me today."

"I'll go in the meeting room now. See you later, " Andy waved to Autumn and went straight into the

meeting room. "Oh my god! How do you two know each other?" Isla asked excitedly. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

"He is... " Autumn froze for a moment. 'He is? Abby is my aunt, so he is my uncle!' she reflected.

But at the thought of Andy's age which was about hers, Autumn could not call him uncle.

Isla did not know the relationship between Autumn and the Zhao family, so she kept asking.

But Autumn had pondered for a long while without answering. "What's wrong, Autumn?" Isla asked.

"Nothing, Andy and I... " Autumn was about to explain when she was interrupted by a heckle. It was, of

course, from Paula. "It goes without saying that she is of course his lover. Hooking up with men, that's

what she's good at besides copying, " she said loudly.

"Autumn, whatever your relationship with Andy is, you're going to lose today, " Paula went on

confidently with a nasty sneer playing around her mouth.

"Talk nice, or I'll rip your mouth open." Isla's voice was aggressive and threatening. "Sure enough, a

loser sees everyone else as the loser. Remember that not everyone is like you!"

"You... " Paula tried to retort, but the director of Giant Promise Company called them into the meeting

room. Paula gave Isla a dirty look and said, "I'll deal with you later."

Then she walked into the meeting room with her folder, and Isla and Autumn followed.

Isla was still asking Autumn about her relationship with Andy when she walked in the room. "It's

complicated, " Autumn said simply. "I'll tell you about it later."

Isla stopped asking.

Although only two companies, Dark Blue Company and Cloud Advertising Company, participated in the

proposal competition, the meeting room was full of people. The tension was high and they felt the

pressure as soon as they entered.

Autumn and Isla sat down opposite Paula who was giving them a scornful look. At this time. Andy

looked at Autumn and asked softly, "Are you ready? I'll get them started if you're ready."

"We're ready now." Autumn answered.

Andy then motioned to his secretary behind him. The secretary nodded slightly, stood up and explained

to Autumn and Paula, "In the last round of proposal competition, we were torn between your two

companies, which is why we have such a competition today. Unlike in the past, this competition will be

conducted in an open way, so that the losing company could clearly know why they lost."
