In fact, Hailey had called Jordan twice in the past two days.
However, Jordan had been at sea for the past two days, so there was no signal reception for his cell phone.
Gates was strange enough to have lent Jordan the yacht without informing him of the WiFi password on board.
Hence, Hailey hadn’t been able to reach Jordan on his cell phone.
Jordan suddenly received a text.
[Are you there? Is it convenient for you to answer a call?]
After seeing the text, Jordan put on his shoes and pretended to go to the washroom.
When he reached the washroom, he replied, “What’s the matter?”
Hailey returned the call very quickly.
“Where are you now?” Hailey asked immediately.
“Tokyo,” Jordan answered truthfully without hiding anything.
Hailey was surprised to hear his answer. “You went to Tokyo with Victoria? Were you having dinner with Bill Gates?”
“Yes, why?”
Jordan knew that Hailey must be jealous because ultra-rich tycoons like Bill Gates were her favorite.
The Camdens were already a top-notch family in Orlando, and Hailey had already married the wealthy Cayden Huxley, but she still wasn’t fit enough to hang out with someone like Bill Gates!
Hailey asked, “Didn’t Victoria break up with you?”
Jordan laughed and said, “Why would she initiate a breakup for no reason?”
Hailey said, “Don’t be too confident, Jordan. If Russell wants to marry Victoria, she’ll definitely choose him over you. Well, any woman would do so!”
“Are you in Tokyo to watch the Olympic games? I guess she’s going to dump you at the end of the games. This trip is probably meant to be compensation for dumping you!”
If Hailey was in Victoria’s place, she would have chosen Russell and broken up with Jordan.
To make it up to Jordan, she might even take him on a trip abroad together and enjoy a vacation before doing so.
Mercenary women are all selfish.
Jordan couldn’t but help but sneer, “Thank you for your concern, but you don’t have to worry about Victoria and me. If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”
Jordan hung up right away.
“That idiot, Jordan!”
Hailey was furious. She was sure that Hailey had Jordan wrapped around her finger, just like how she had Jordan wrapped around hers in the past.
She wasn’t a good woman, so she decided that all other women in the world were the same as herself.
Hence, Hailey called her husband, Cayden, and said, “Hubby, I want to go to Tokyo to watch the Olympic games!”
…
At 12pm, in Aman Tokyo hotel.
It was the most luxurious hotel in Tokyo, which was known as a resort in the sky. The lobby, corridor between rooms, and other areas didn’t seem like a typical hotel.
Jordan and Victoria checked into a luxurious suite, a minimalist style that both Jordan and Victoria liked very much.
All the bathrooms had Japanese-style decors. One may take a nerve-calming bath in a bathtub full of warm water while enjoying the magnificent view through the floor-to-ceiling window.
Of course, Mr. Gates was the one who treated them to these excellent amenities.
For the next few days, Jordan and Victoria planned to take a tour in Tokyo with the Gates while waiting for the Olympic games to begin.
However, they felt that taking a tour alone was too boring. Jordan wanted to settle matters while having fun.
That was to recruit women in Japan and bring them back to the US to work as courier deliverers to rival the Huxleys’ Breezy Express.
After Victoria finished her bath and came out of the bathroom, Jordan said, “Victoria, you received a call just now.”
“Oh.”
Victoria picked up her phone and looked at it, only to see that it was a call from Arnold.
“Who was it? Aren’t you going to call him back?” Jordan asked when he noticed that Victoria seemed to have no intention of returning the call.
Victoria said, “Oh, it’s from Perry Express. I’ve been to Perry Express for a job interview before.”
Jordan thought that Arnold might be the person his younger sister had sent to arrange for Victoria to start working in Perry Express, so he quickly said, “Hurry up and return the call then.”
Victoria shook her head and said, “I applied for the department manager position previously, but they refused to hire me, so I do not want to apply for jobs at that company anymore.”
In fact, the most crucial reason that Victoria didn’t want to go to Perry Express was Arnold, who had always harbored designs on her.
Jordan was not aware of that so he was convinced further, “Perry Express is quite a good company. They have a new president now, and I think they’ll do a good job in the future. Consider this company.”
Victoria thought about it and asked, “Do you really want me to go to Perry Express?”
Jordan nodded. Of course, he wanted Victoria to work at Perry Express. He had already acquired the entire company for her. He was just waiting for her to assume the position!
“Let me ask him about it then.”
Victoria picked up her phone and called Arnold back.
“Mr. Decker, I’m sorry, I was in the shower just now, and I didn’t hear my phone ringing. It’s so late. Is there something important?” Victoria asked politely.
Arnold was elated to receive a call from her. “Good news, good news! Victoria, you may begin working for Perry Express as the deputy CEO cum secretary of the board of directors!”
“What? I can start working as the deputy CEO cum secretary of the board of directors of Perry Express?”
Victoria was really astounded. Although she had guessed that Arnold would offer her a role in Perry Express, she didn’t expect to be given the position of deputy CEO.
Victoria asked in shock, “That can’t be true, can it? I’ll need the approval of the newly appointed CEO of the company before I can be the deputy CEO, right? Did you mention me to the young lady who’s the newly appointed CEO?”
In fact, at the board meeting that Perry Express had just conducted, Jordan’s younger sister decided to appoint Victoria as the vice CEO.
This matter had nothing to do with Arnold at all.
However, Arnold said, “Yes, I took the initiative to mention you to our newly appointed CEO, Miss Audrey! Coincidentally, Miss Audrey also wants a woman as independent and capable as her to assist her. So, I recommended you immediately!”
“Victoria, to allow you to become the vice CEO directly, I put in lots of effort and begged Miss Audrey for a long time. I even gave a lot of benefits to the other board members before they agreed.”
Victoria was touched to hear that. She knew that Arnold liked her, so his actions didn’t come off as surprising to her.
However, Victoria was put in a difficult spot. “Mr. Decker, the position of deputy CEO of Perry Express is lovely to me but…”
Victoria wanted to say that she had a boyfriend, so she wouldn’t agree to the lewd deal of cheating with Arnold on their respective significant others during the trip!
Hearing the tone of Victoria’s voice, Arnold said, “Victoria, don’t worry, I won’t ask anything of you, and you don’t need to promise me anything.”
“Really? In that case, I’m willing to work for Perry Express!” Victoria agreed immediately.
Arnold said, “Okay, then I’ll give you Miss Audrey’s number, you may take the initiative to contact her.”
Victoria then texted Jordan’s younger sister, Audrey. As soon as she did, Audrey sent her a video call request.
“Hello, Miss Audrey,” Victoria quickly greeted her young boss, feeling a little surprised.
Audrey’s looks were not as outstanding as Hailey’s and Victoria’s, but she had the elegance of a noble lady too.
Audrey waved affectionately at Victoria before she suddenly exclaimed, “Hey, who’s that man beside you?”
