Alfred was as efficient as ever.
Just twenty-four hours later, an appointment was made with the two major aircraft manufacturers in the United States.
"Speaker," Alfred's voice sounded steady, "Mr. Ross, representing Boeing's Business Jets division, and Ms. Victoria, the vice president representative of Gulfstream Aerospace, have arrived."
"Well, let them all in!" Ribs replied with some anticipation.
As the office door opened, Boeing's vice president Ross was the first to bow respectfully.
Also coming in was Gulfstream’s representative, Victoria.
She had delicate makeup on, her long golden hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and she wore a tight dark business suit that cleverly outlined her seductive curves.
When her eyes met the Speaker, who was lazily leaning on the leather sofa in the main seat with an unlit Cuban cigar between his fingers, the corners of her mouth curved into a perfect, confident and charming smile.
Ribs's gaze lingered on her for a second before he turned to the Boeing representative and casually raised his chin: "Let's start the demonstration! Let's see what aircraft you have."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, please wait a moment!" Boeing's Vice President Ross stepped forward respectfully, his fingertips sliding across a specially designed tablet. An ultra-high-definition rendering of the cabin interior was projected onto the screen on the wall.
He then introduced in a resonant voice, "We recommend the BBJ MAX business jet, Mr. Speaker. Based on the Boeing 737 MAX platform... The main cabin is 86 square meters, equivalent to a small luxury apartment. The range exceeds 6,600 nautical miles... Fully bulletproof and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) protection are optional... Boeing Defense and Security can provide... in-depth customized technical support..."
Although Ross introduced it enthusiastically, Reeves did not respond at all and seemed to have no interest in their Boeing aircraft.
Ribs waved his hand to interrupt Ross before he finished the introduction. He then pointed to Victoria from Gulfstream and said, "You come and introduce yourself!"
Victoria smiled smugly and walked forward with light steps, bringing with her a faint scent of high-end perfume.
She did not operate the tablet immediately, but leaned slightly closer to the sofa where Reeves was sitting. Her fingertips brushed the leather armrests unintentionally, and she looked directly at Reeves. Her voice was soft and magnetic:
"Mr. Speaker, please allow me, Victoria, to present the Gulfstream G700." Her fingertips slid across the screen, her movements smooth and elegant. "...The private bedroom features a temperature-adjustable 'Cloud Sense' mattress; the shower is made of Calacatta Gold marble... Imagine, while you're in the clouds, enjoying a comfortable hot bath..."
Her eyes met Reeves's again, with a hint of a smile, "...how relaxing and comfortable will it be? More importantly...our silent technology ensures that the cabin noise level is below 48 decibels during cruising, creating an absolutely private space for you and your...partner," she paused and spoke slower, ".
Victoria deliberately paused on her "partner", her eyes roaming over Reeves's face, capturing his subtle reactions.
"With a range of 7,500 nautical miles... you can fly nonstop from Chicago to Tokyo or Sydney without stopping. It gets you to your destination faster... whether it's for an important negotiation or a private date... where you can enjoy instant gratification."
After the presentation, Ross stood aside a little stiffly.
Victoria seemed more calm and confident. She even casually touched the golden hair that fell to her shoulders. She seemed to know in her heart that she was sure to win this deal.
Ribs leaned forward slightly, finally setting his cigar aside, and looked at Victoria with what seemed like interest as he said, "Well, Victoria's presentation was very...vivid."
Victoria's smile widened, and she immediately replied, "It is Gulfstream's honor to serve you, Speaker. We are willing to personally and thoroughly discuss every detail with you to ensure that it fully meets your...specific needs."
She deliberately emphasized the words "personally, deeply" and "special needs."
The corners of Ribbs' mouth curled up in a playful arc, a smile like a cat playing with a mouse.
"In-depth communication?" he repeated slowly, his eyes scanning Victoria without hesitation. "Excellent. I appreciate your pursuit of perfection. Alfred, please ask Mr. Ross to wait in the side hall. Ms. Cole and I need to have a more private discussion on...some 'details' of the Gulfstream plan."
Ross and Alfred retreated tacitly.
Before closing the door to the living room, Alfred gave Victoria a look that seemed polite but was actually cold.
As soon as the door closed, only Reeves and Victoria were left in the luxurious living room.
Ribbs stood up and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window like a lazy but dangerous leopard, with his back to Victoria.
Victoria's heartbeat quickened. She straightened her appearance and stepped forward with a hint of nervousness and great excitement. "Mr. Speaker, regarding the customization options for the Gulfstream, especially the interior decoration style and comfort configuration, I think we can find a more private and comfortable environment, such as your..."
Before she could finish her words, Ribs suddenly turned around, stretched out his hand, and pulled the defenseless Victoria into his arms.
Victoria let out a short gasp of surprise, which then turned into a gasp of mixed surprise and fulfillment. "Details? Private?" Ribus's voice was low and dangerous. His fingers gripped Victoria's chin like a pair of iron pliers, forcing her to look up at him. "Isn't this the kind of 'details' you want to show? Hmm?"
He looked down at her, his eyes devoid of lust, only pure control and teasing. "You want to trade this body... for orders? That's brave, but also foolish."
