Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 272

Jackson sprang to his feet upon hearing that, making a beeline for the door. After a couple of steps, he glanced back only to notice that Anderson and Eddie were following him. Recalling Eddie's earlier assertive words, Jackson coughed softly and said to Anderson, "Why don't you take Eddie to handle some other matters? I'll go welcome Harrison and Bob."

Knowing Eddie's temperament, there was no way he'd back down in front of Bob, and Jackson wanted to avoid any potential clash at all costs. Anderson was already on the same page.

Eddie's icy demeanor when he had insisted he wouldn't bow down had taken Anderson aback, so he readily agreed, "Sure."

He too was concerned about stirring trouble with Bob, which could lead to serious repercussions.

Kurt glanced their way before chiming in, "Hey, big bro, didn't you mention something about the company considering an international project? I just saw Steve and his crew arrive. Maybe you should go and host them, especially since they're planning to sign the contract tonight?"

Upon hearing this, Anderson nodded.

Kurt, who also held a position in the company, was acutely aware of their recent struggles, especially with the physical market becoming increasingly challenging.

Hence, Anderson had been exploring international opportunities, aiming to export their products. This initiative was not only crucial for the company but also marked Anderson's first major project since taking a leadership role, potentially rejuvenating their business operations.

Jackson had extended an invitation to Harrison and Bob for his birthday party, indicating the significance of their attendance.

So, when Kurt mentioned Steve, Anderson responded, "Alright, I'll go host Steve."

Jackson, accompanied by Kurt, exited to welcome Harrison and Bob to a private resting room.

Figures like Bob weren't keen on mingling with the crowd.

Before departing, Jackson quietly advised Anderson, "Try to keep things smooth, alright?"

Anderson nodded in understanding.

Once separated from Jackson, Anderson couldn't help but address Eddie, "Pride comes before a fall, you know. You mentioned there's no bad blood with Bob, right?"
