Seeing Mary's figure, the car door was opened by someone, and John's tall and straight figure appeared in her line of sight. The man made people look at him like a god standing at the door, waiting for her to approach, and for some unknown reason, the moment Mary saw him, she felt her heart involuntarily beat faster.Her face turned red, and she became extremely nervous.At this time, many Gebaude employees were coming down for lunch, and seeing the luxury cars parked at the entrance, as well as the man standing next to the cars, everyone couldn't help but discuss in hushed tones. Inhaling secretly, so as not to receive the gazes of others, Mary quickly walked ahead of him and got into the car.The door closed, and John Longhini entered from the other side, sitting beside her. The car started to move, but Mary lowered her eyes, feeling the strange atmosphere.However, the two were not really familiar with each other, at least for Mary; she was cautious and even hostile. This man's tho
After entering the company lobby and climbing the stairs, she quickly reached the floor where her office was located. As soon as the elevator door opened, she saw her assistant already waiting at the entrance."President, you're here. Hurry to the conference room. The president is holding a meeting and wants you to participate." Upon seeing Mary, the assistant immediately stepped forward and greeted.Upon hearing this, Mary hastily handed the bag in her hands to the assistant and walked briskly towards the conference room. As the meeting was about to begin, Mary entered through the door, and all the business executives stood up.Only the few elders from the Parker family used their seniority to impose themselves and didn't give her much importance. Sebastião was Mary's cousin and always looked at Gebaude with covetous eyes. He was an ambitious man who originally wanted to take advantage of Mary's father's illness to directly usurp the position of Patriarch.He didn't expect Nicholas t
After leaving the office, Nicholas went straight to Luna's office. At that moment, Luna was buried in a stack of documents and was extremely busy."I need to know something!" Nicholas walked up to her desk."President, how can I assist you?" Luna immediately looked up and stood up from her chair."Have you been searching for Clarice in our city all this time?" Nicholas asked."Not just in our city, but where you both met as well, but couldn't find her. Currently, the scope has been expanded, and private detectives have been investigating all major cities in the country. However, there is still no news.""For now, you don't need to search the entire country. Just immediately find someone to retrieve information about Clarice's brother and send it to me on my phone," Nicholas said."Clarice's brother?" Hearing this, Luna seemed to understand something. "Are you suggesting that Clarice may have gone to Europe to find her brother?""It's very possible that, in this world, Robert is the on
After leaving the office, Nicholas went straight to Luna's office. She was buried in a stack of extremely busy documents, barely having time to breathe or go to the bathroom."Luna, I need to know something!" Nicholas walked to her desk and stared at her, causing her to startle, as she didn't expect him to enter so abruptly."President, how can I help?" Luna immediately lifted her head and stood up from her chair."Have you been looking for Clarice in our city all this time?" Nicholas asked."Not only in our city, but also where you both met, and still couldn't find her. Currently, the scope has been expanded, and private detectives have been investigating all major cities in the country. However, there is still no news.""For now, you don't need to search nationwide; just immediately find someone to retrieve information on Clarice's brother and send it to me on my phone," Nicholas said."Clarice's brother?" Hearing this, Luna seemed to understand something. "Do you think Clarice may
On her way home, she cursed John Longhini while thinking to herself that if she couldn't get help, she wouldn't do it. If things got worse, she would personally go to Europe, where she had studied; after all, she knew everything there. The next day, upon arriving at the office, she informed her assistant of her decision. When the assistant heard her words, she advised her. "President, this is such a small matter, so why not ask another employee to gather the information for you? Why do you have to go personally?" "Do you think they will take it seriously if I send an employee after this project? Don't forget, everyone is subordinate to me because of Nicholas, and the project is huge, with billions invested in it. How can I not have Sebastião's personnel investigate this? I wouldn't believe the reports they delivered," Mary said. "If that's the case, we can simply not approve this project. You are the chairperson of the board and the largest shareholder." Hearing this, Mary shook he
LondonIn a high-end private hospital, at eight in the morning, Robert had just finished his night shift as a doctor and was preparing to go home from work. However, as he exited the hospital, he was stopped by an elegant woman, and he knew she was not from around here."Are you Mr. Roberts?" the other party looked at him and asked with an American accent."Who are you?" Rob assessed her and asked with a calm voice."I'm Luna, I'm Mr. Murray's assistant, and I'm under his orders to come get your sister and take her back to the United States!" the other party took a business card from her pocket and handed it to him."Luna? You're late; my sister left London two days ago." Rob took the business card and looked at her."She left? Why did she leave? Where did she go?" Luna looked at him surprised and asked. In fact, right after she got off the plane, she went to Edward's property, but there was no one inside.It was precisely because she couldn't find Clarice that she thought of going di
"But what they didn't know was that a second before boarding the plane, Nicholas' private jet had already arrived at London's airport; in the end, he couldn't resist coming here in person. However, their destinies were quite superficial, and they got lost in the airport.5-star hotel, presidential suite.Luna stood in front of Nicholas with her head down, a guilty look on her face, and reported to him about the situation in which she met Robert today."CEO, I've already hired some private detectives to investigate Clarice's whereabouts. I believe that, as long as she's still in London, we will soon know the truth.""Do you really think she's still in London?" Nicholas' face turned pale. He thought he would definitely be able to catch that damn woman this time, but he didn't expect her to escape so easily."What do you mean? Has she already left? But that's not right; I just saw Robert this morning. There's no reason for Clarice to leave London alone, and besides, she's not familiar wi
"I think you misunderstood; I don't lack money either. My family is also very wealthy." The girl ran her hand over the necklace and shook her head, and Agner, upon hearing this, shivered, as besides money, she didn't know what else could persuade her to save her. "However, your necklace is very beautiful. Alright, I reluctantly agree, but I have to tell my brother about this, and before I forget, my name is Mei!" said the girl, extending her hand."Mary, thank you." Mary shook her hand, and they finally established a friendship.After the two girls got to know each other, they started talking. Although Mary grew up in the United States, so her European accent wasn't very good, since she studied in Europe for a few years, her British English was fluent. As they chatted, time flew by, and not long after, someone brought breakfast for them, a plate of something that looked very unappetizing."Since when did two young ladies eat something like this?" Everyone expressed their disdain.Howe
