Chapter 311
Listening to the chorus of naysayers in the conference room, Chloe’s eyes narrowed slightly
“I’ve built Starlight International up to what it is now, and I’m more than capable of making it even better! I can joke about a lot of things, but I never gamble with the company’s future.”
With that, she stood, casting a chilly gaze around the room, and then strode out.
Chloe’s parting words left the room in a hushed silence.
Even though the meeting was over, the sudden shift in the company’s operations was a big deal.
Chloe had a lot on her plate. Even though the company was still open to celebrity clients, she needed to find those willing to commit long–term.
In the wake of Chloe’s decision, various departments were thrown into a bit of a frenzy. The company’s scope had been scaled back, and some departments had been outright scrapped.
The company lobby was crowded with employees, anxiously awaiting Chloe’s next move.
At that moment, a car pulled up outside the Starlight International building.
Two security guards at the entrance furrowed their brows, their hands nervously fingering their stun guns.
Their wariness was justified. The car had been parked there for a good ten minutes, but no one had emerged.
What’s more, the back of the car was sealed off. It didn’t seem to be used for regular purposes.
Five minutes later, the car door swung open, and a man stepped out.
The security guards took in his appearance, he was uniformed and looked rather sophisticated,
but that didn’t mean he was on the up and up.
They remained on alert, eyeing the man warily.
Their expressions grew increasingly strange.
It wasn’t just them. Even pedestrians in the building stopped in their tracks,
I’m here to see Ms. Summers.”
Nate was stopped at the entrance by the guards and explained his purpose.
The guards frowned, their hands gripping their stun guns. Clearly, they weren’t planning on letting him in.
Nate took a deep breath, pulled out his phone, and dialed Chloe.
When she picked up, her voice came through.
“Yes?”
“Miss Chloe, it’s Nate. I need to discuss something with you.”
Chloe frowned, “Well then, come in.”
Nate had put the call on speaker, so the guards heard Chloe’s instruction.
They holstered their stun guns and made way for Nate,
but their expressions remained strange.
The hubbub in the lobby gradually died down, with all eyes on Nate.
“Wow, so cute!”
“Look at those long lashes and big eyes.”
“What a cute face! Oh, is it smiling?”
“It’s so funny when it eats, and it’s even wearing clothes.”
“It’s so fluffy, I really want to touch it. Oh, it’s so cute.”
In the crowd, several ladies couldn’t help exclaiming, some even jumping excitedly.
Their adoration was on full display.
Nate gritted his teeth, slowly making his way through the crowd.
Only he knew how much mental preparation it took to persuade himself to get out of the car.
Only he knew what was going through his mind right now.
Only he knew how desperately he wanted to know what that gentleman was thinking.
What kind of tasks was he handling every day?
Nate couldn’t help but bury his face in his hands.
This was so embarrassing!
