Chapter 48 She Still Could Not Let Go.
The darkness within the Starry Sea Mansion at that moment couldn't compare to the gloominess in Matthew's eyes.
Within the towering office building of Quigley Group, everyone was bustling about.
At ten in the morning. Gideon, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, arrived with Melanie, who was similarly dressed in professional attire.
After all, Gideon was the chairman of a company, possessing an elegant demeanor and a commanding presence.
His own company was not small, but it paled in comparison to Quigley Group.
In addition to the events he encountered at the company over the past two days, he was somewhat stressed.
The moment Melanie Stepped into the building, she felt a sense of belonging.
It seemed as though she was born to be the mistress of the place.
"Apologies, without making an appointment through Mr. Zeller, Mr. Leedon is unable to meet with Mr. Quigley," the receptionist responded with a smile upon hearing that Gideon did not have an appointment.
Gideon felt slightly embarrassed. It wasn't that he hadn't made an appointment, but rather he had called Gordon several times, only to be consistently rejected.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe reason was always that Matthew didn't have time, suggesting that Gideon should directly contact the business department. However, the head of the business department had only one response-cooperation depended not only on luck but also on the company's proposal. The proposal presented must meet the requirements of Quigley Group.
Everyone at Leedon Group had been working overtfor several days, but none of the proposals submitted were satisfactory. They had all been sent back.
In the end, it was impossible to continue the collaboration.
For the company, it undoubtedly a huge setback.
"My father is the chairman of Leedon Group. He specifically cto meet with Mr. Quigley today. Can't you san exception?" Melanie's attitude was lofty, emphasizing the word 'chairman This statement might have intimidated the receptionists at other companies, but not at Quigley Group. Their receptionist, who was accustomed to seeing all sorts of company CEOs and chairmen, remained unfazed and continued to smile.
"I'm sorry." Melanie frowned, feeling that the receptionist's work attitude was not flexible enough, lacking discernment.
Gideon wore a gloomy expression. After struggling in the business world for many years, this was the first the felt as if he had been slapped in the face. All he could do was force a single word out of his mouth.
1/4 Chapter 48 She Still Could Not Let Go Then, he pulled out his phone and called Gordon.
As luck would have it, Gordon had just stepped out of the elevator.
The cell phone rang at that moment.
+5 Pearis Without a moment's hesitation, Gordon glanced at his phone and immediately hung up, rejecting the call.
This scene was witnessed by Gideon and Melanie.
Striding briskly in her high heels, Melanie made her way over.
"Mr. Zeller, could you provide us with an explanation? Why did you hang up on my father's call?" Suddenly, a beautiful woman appeared, blocking his path to question him. Gordon raised an eyebrow and took a careful look at her..
With a single glance, he recognized who the woman was.
"I am busy. Whatever it is, you can contactthrough the company's front desk.
Gordon showed an indifferent attitude.
As soon as Gideon stepped forward, he hesitated briefly before initiating conversation. "Mr. Zeller, could you spare ten minutes for us to have a discussion?" He had cwith ulterior motives that day. Besides wanting to understand why Quigley Group had changed their stance, he also wanted Matthew to meet his daughter.
The shift in attitude of Quigley Group directly impacted Leedon Group's operations. In just a few short days, they had lost numerous projects.
If things continued that way, he feared that Leedon Group wouldn't be able to survive in Jacaster anymore. "Mr. Leedon, I'm quite busy at the moment. I recall mentioning to you before that you should approach. the business department for any matters. These are decisions I can't make." Gordon maintained a professional and aloof demeanor, but inside, he was somewhat feeling nosey.
He wasn't sure if his own values and perspectives were skewed.
How could the Leedon family neglect their own biological daughter, yet be so devoted to a fake heiress? Assisting the fake heiress against your own biological daughter, don't you feel even a shred of guilt? No matter how I look at it, Melanie simply can't compare to Ms. Shaw. If Ms. Shaw had proposed to elevate the Leedon family's status when she was signing the agreement for the marriage certificate, then the Leedon family could have been among the second-tier families in Jacaster now. Regrettably, they have picked the wrong horse. "Today, we only want to meet with Mr. Quigley. I've met him before at La Royale Hotel. I think if you mention this to him, he should agree to meet with us." Melanie was very dissatisfied with Gordon's arrogance.
He is merely an assistant to Matthew. That's to put it nicely. Bluntly speaking, he is nothing more than a dog. Gideon shared the ssentiment. “My main purpose for coming today is to meet with Mr. Quigley." Gordon was somewhat speechless. How can they be so shameless? "Mr. Quigley is very busy. He doesn't Chapter 48 She Still Could Not Let Go have any tfor Mr. Leedon today." After he finished speaking, he didn't have much patience left.
+5 Pearls It was clear that Aurelia Shaw had no desire to get involved with the Leedon family. Quigley Group had withdrawn their business from Leedon Group. In Jacaster, it was clear the Leedon Group was struggling to recover each day worse than the last.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGordon also had a certain bias toward Aurelia, who was not only beautiful but also well-versed in the mysterious arts. Moreover, the two people in front of him seemed to look down on hirn.
"If he can't spare ten minutes, what about five? I only need five minutes." Gideon was getting somewhat anxious.
He was the chairman of a company, where everyone from top to bottom would satisfy his every whim. But now, he was humbling himself before an assistant, a situation that was truly hard for him to swallow.
However, in order to meet Matthew, he swallowed his pride.
Gordon shook his head. “He can't even spare a minute, let alone five." Just as Melanie was about to lose her temper, the cell phone in Gordon's hand rang again.
Looking down, he saw that it was Aurelia.
He promptly answered, "Ms. Shaw." "Gordon, I'm at the entrance of your office." Aurelia's voice echoed from Gordon's mobile phone.
"She had gone to the Quigley residence in the morning. There, Mabel had gotten her to deliver sstew over."
The stew was personally prepared by Mabel when she was in good spirits in the morning. It was delicious, a testament to a grandmother's affection for her grandson. Since Aurelia happened to pass by, she delivered it.
Immediately, Gordon headed toward the direction of the entrance. "Ms. Shaw, please wait for me." Seeing Gordon stride away, the father and daughter were left in even greater embarrassment. Leaving wasn't an option, neither was staying put.
"Ms. Shaw?" Gideon frowned. Having stood close to Gordon, he found the voice coming from the phone to somehow resemble Aurelia's.
Melanie bit her lower lip. "Dad, right now wc...
She hadn't finished speaking when she suddenly saw a familiar figure outside the entrance. Startled, she exclaimed, "Aurelia?" "Auri is here too?" Gideon immediately looked in the direction where Melanie was looking.
However when he looked back. Gordon had already shielded Aurelia from view Chapter 48 She Still Could Not Lei da
"How could Aurelia possibly be at Quigley Group or even ven know Mrm Zeller?" Melanie mattered to herself, her brows furrowed in confusion. "Is it really Auri?" Gideon briskly walked toward the outside of the building
It had been quite stsince he last saw Aurelia. So much had happened that the Qm during this period. Now that he could see her again, he absolutely needed to have a proper conversation with her. X
