‘I'll go talk to him!” Lydia explained, “My mom is cousins with Mr. Barlow's mother. We're second cousins. Let me talk to him. If he’s open tocollaboration, I'll handle it. If not, I can persuade him to stop targeting our company.”
Sylvia said calmly, “If it’s for the company, there’s no need to go!”Lydia pleaded, “Boss, please let me go. I'm confident I can sort this out.”
Gabriel, who was sitting on the couch, suddenly looked up and said in a cool tone, “Baron is unpredictable, he might not care about family ties. Iadvise against it!”
Lydia insisted, “Our families used to be close, and I played with my cousin when we were kids. I think he'll listen to me!”She continued, “Boss, if I can seal this deal, I want to lead the project, and I’d like the commission to be mine, is that okay?Sylvia turned to Gabriel.
Gabriel, with a stern face, said, “I still think you shouldn't go.
Lydia was persistent, “I really can do this. Even if the deal doesn’t go through, considering our family connection, I don't think Mr. Barlow would harmme. Boss, please let me go. I really need the money, I desperately need this commission.”novelbin

Lydia's face lit up with joy and confidence, “I understand. I'll go right now and bring back good news!”
She nodded to Sylvia and quickly turned to leave.
Milanda followed her out, anxiously reminding, “Be careful!”
Sylvia stood up, closed the door, and turned to sit opposite Gabriel, asking, “Do you think I shouldn't have agreed?”Gabriel, with dark eyes, said, “It's fine. If Baron is really looking for trouble, we'll be ready for him before nightfall!”Sylvia smirked, “Don’t argue with me, let me handle it!”
Gabriel agreed, “I’m with you!”
Sylvia smiled, “Of course!”
