CHAPTER 183
Miss Hutton was on her way over, and Mr.Caldwell could smell the strong scent of cigars lingering in the air. He stood up, opened the window to let in some fresh air, and sprayed a bit of perfume to mask the odor. Just then, there was a knock on the door. He spoke in a low voice, "Come in."As soon as Michael entered, he frowned. The heavy smell of cigars was overwhelming, and he wondered if Miss Hutton would mind it. When Miss Hutton stepped inside, she wrinkled her nose slightly at the smell butsmiled and said nothing. After all, it was Mr. Caldwell’s office, and he could do as he pleased."Boss, I brought Miss Hutton. She'd like to have a word with you. Right this way." Mr. Caldwell stood up and took a few steps forward, extending his hand. "Miss Caldwell, welcome!" As she approached, Ashley noticed that his outstretched hand seemed to haveremnants of cigar ash on it. Disgusted but maintaining her composure, she reached out and shook his hand. After a brief shake, she quickly pu
CHAPTER 182
When the person finally appeared at the door, Michael couldn't hide anymore; there was no point in trying to escape. After all, this was a client that the boss valued, and there was no way he could slip away."I didn't expect Miss Hutton to come as well, Mr. Gavin. Is there anything our PR department can assist you with?" Michael smiled warmly, his tone brimming with enthusiasm. Gavin gave Michael a quick once-over. It seemed like he had adapted quite well, but Gavin felt a sense of disdain. No wonder someone like him could still hold on despite being past his prime."Oh, it's nothing much. I'm just showing Miss Hutton around the company, giving her a brief tour. Besides, Miss Hutton wants to know about some matters, and the information will need to come from you, Michael."As Gavin spoke, Michael felt a strong urge to ignore him, but with Ashley Ward right there, he had to maintain a facade of friendliness.A man who was barely hanging on thanksto his wife was quite the show-off."I
CHAPTER 181
Upon hearing this, Miss Hutton raised an eyebrow slightly. This person seemed to have some sense regarding work; they weren't completely clueless."Well then, you can lead the way. Let's keep a low profile this time. Aside from a few individuals, no one should be too aware of my identity. Let's not make things too tense; I just stopped that secretary from making a suggestion." Miss Hutton mentioned the secretary again, this being the second time, and it wasn't by accident. She had done her homework on the company and knew that the secretary was one of Mr. Caldwell's mistresses, but she was unique. This secretary had been around for a long time, was highly capable, and familiar with Gavin's schedule. Miss Hutton could clearly sense that Gavin was surprised by her presence, likely because he had initially set this up underher name.When she was introduced, although she didn't directly expose him, she made her dissatisfaction with Gavin clear. The dynamics between the two intrigued her,
CHAPTER 180
Hearing this, Gavin nodded heavily. The person in front of him was so easy to talk toto. Who knows if he could get close to him and earn his trust? He might climb to a higher position and leave everything back home behind. After the last incident, it was already a miracle that things could be salvaged backhome. Staying with Mr. Caldwell, as Thomas had said, made it seem nearly impossible for him to have a breakthrough.Buzz buzz…”His phone vibrated twice.Gavin glanced down and saw a notification from the company. What was going on? He opened the message, and it was from Thomas, saying that Miss Hutton had arrived and was asking where he was. Miss Hutton's arrival was completely unexpected for him. Didn't she say she would notify him in advance? He had been watching his phone, but there had been no updates. Why was she messaginghim now? Mr. Johnson had been observing him closely and noticed that his expressionchanged after reading the message. He didn't know what was going on, bu

"I don't have much to say about this matter, after all, it was my promise. I thought that eventually, his son would get better, and things wouldn't be like this anymore," the other said. Person added, their tone now calm and no longer filled with disbelief. Mr. Johnson wasn't really a friend; he was just someone who had completed a transaction with Thomas. The financier orchestrated this whole situation. If he were to put this person in charge of overseeing things, it would only lead to trouble.Looking at the person in front of him, it was easy to imagine that any supervision would likely create more problems for the financier. Besides, the financier was willing to spend a large sum of money to kidnap him; could their relationship really be as simple as Gavin suggested? Hearing this, Gavin felt disappointed; it seemed the other person wasn't as naive as he had hoped. This situation couldn't be rushed; haste makes waste."Right, right. After all, it's a matter concerning a child, whic
CHAPTER 178
The words he spoke went unnoticed by the other party, who wore a faint, cold smile. This person was quietly reviewing all the information about Gavin in his mind. Indeed, he was the one provided by his wealthy benefactor. It was unclear how the man in front of him had angered this benefactor. At first glance, he seemed like an ordinary guy, though he spoke with the shrewdness of a businessman. Upon meeting, he thought to himself that this man really knew how to handle people."Hey, how can you say that? I'm just trying to be a good host here. We don't need to talk about all that; let's just get straight to ordering," he said cheerfully. Gavin felt no doubt about the other man's generosity. In fact, he was quite pleased, thinking about how beneficial it would be to build a good relationship with someone like this big shot. Who knows, he might even become a stepping stone for his future success. Right now, he was in a tense situation with Mr. Caldwell Business, where things were on the
