CHAPTER 395
David was sipping his tea when a phone call came in. He picked up his phone; it was an internal call."What's going on? Is there a problem?" he asked."Chairman David, there are two people here to see you, a man and a woman. They didn't give specific names but chose the nearest private room. They're probably waiting for you." David’s interest was piqued."Alright, I understand.""I said, Old Mr. Blackwood, we agreed to meet for tea. You're not going to handle business, are you?""Not at all. You all continue your conversation; I'll step out for a bit." The old foxes knew his tone meant he was off to do something, so they decided not to press him further. David stepped out and intentionallyglanced at the private room ahead. As he approached the door, he made a bit of noise. The two people who had been staring at the entrance immediately noticed andstood up. When the door opened, there stood the very people they wanted tomeet. It seemed they were lucky; they had only waited about ten
CHAPTER 394
"No need for that; a silent warning will suffice. He must have realized we know about him. As long as he doesn't make any major moves, we'll just pretend we're unaware and won't bother cutting off his surveillance again." Miss Hutton really couldn't understand what Thomas was up to. Lucas had his hands ineverything, even reaching into the company's surveillance system, yet Thomas remained calm and collected, not seeming to care at all.Was he just overly confident, or was there something else going on?"We'll wrap up our overtime here.Thanks for your hard work. After this, you should meet up with Lawrence and have him accompany you for the real estate matters.Those guys aren't exactly gentlemen, so as a woman, you should be cautious." Thomas stood up, straightening his clothes and grabbing his phone. He felt a bit uncomfortable having spent so much time at the office."Got it."The two of them headed downstairsand went their separate ways. Miss Hutton reached out to Lawrence."Th
CHAPTER 393
"Yes, I agreed to it, but I never promised it would be every year. As long as I return the company to Thomas by the end of the term, I'm not really breaking any promises.""Impressive, impressive! You really are a master of logic. But let's talk about something serious. What tricks do you have up your sleeve for the shareholders' meeting?"Lucas glanced at her, as if deciding whether to speak, then suddenly shut his mouth tight. It wasn't that she was trying to keep him in suspense; she was starting to waver. Lucas was the hardest to read when it came to his son's feelings, and his admiration for Thomas was evident. If her plans were leaked through him, it would all be for nothing, and she wouldn't be able to hold him accountable in the end."You got stuck on my first question, so there's no need to continue with the rest.""That's harsh. So now you see me as an enemy too? Does that mean I came here for nothing today?"The Secretary carefully observed Lucas' expression. It wasn't grea
CHAPTER 392
The Secretary stood nervously, waiting for the little troublemaker's message. She knew the rules: she couldn't just call him out of the blue. Whenever something like this came up, it had to be communicated via email. So, she stared at her computer for what felt like ages until a notification finally popped up. She quickly clicked it open, letting out a sigh of relief."Boss, Prince has agreed. We need to set a place, and it has to be today.""Then let him come over. I can't have him thinking he can't find me whenever he needs to. At least he should know where to reach me regularly." The Secretary found the statement a bit odd, but at least the first hurdle was cleared, allowing her to breathe a little easier. She sent over the contact address, but the response was like a stone sinking into the ocean-completely silent. She didn't dare to push for a reply.Watching her boss looking so relaxed, she couldn't help but think of the saying, "The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is."
CHAPTER 391
Miss Hutton arrived at the office early in the morning. She noticed that the number of people clocking in was less than ten, and thought to herself that maybe it was time to give those early risers a raise. As she stepped into the office, she was slightly surprised to see someone already sitting in a chair.Her boss had been working harder lately; it seemed David was really stepping up."Good morning, boss," she greeted."Morning! Thanks for your hard work yesterday," he replied. His words reminded Miss Hutton that with her boss here so early, he probably had something to discuss with her. She quickly dismissed the thought, telling herself that whatever it was, it would come up sooner or later. She recalled their meetingYesterday, feeling a bit at a loss for words."So, how did it go? Was it smoother than you expected?" he asked. Miss Hutton understood exactly what he was referring to."Not really. Clinton and his father don't see eye to eye; it seems he wants to break away from his
CHAPTER 390
Robison and Jason were feeling quite bored that day. It turned out that they were the uncle and aunt of Ava. "I'll notify the front desk right away, " Robison said. After confirming with Harry, he added, "No problem. Please ask them to come up.""Okay."The front desk hung up the phone."Both of you, the vice president is available now. Please head to the left elevator and go directly to the fifth floor.""Alright, thank you!"Hearing that Ava was willing to see them, both of them felt a wave of relief wash over them. As they walked toward the elevator, Nancy still felt a bit anxious."How do you think we should start the conversation? What if he doesn't agree? Am I really going to have to kneel and beg for mercy like a child?"Bruce, hearing this, felt a headache coming on. Why did every solution seem to involve begging?"Let's just see how it goes. Rachel is a kind girl; she shouldn't be as difficult as Thomas."Just as they exchanged a few more words, the elevator doors opened. Sta
