Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing Thomas’s call, Connor hurriedly stood up and said to Freya, “I’m going to take a call!”
“Okay!”
Freya nodded lightly.
Connor picked up his phone and walked toward the restaurant’s bathroom.
However, just as Connor stepped into the bathroom, a sexy and charming girl walked into the restaurant.
After the girl entered the restaurant, she scanned the situation briefly before focusing her sight on Freya.
“Connor’s fiancee?”
The girl smiled faintly and then walked over to Freya in her high heels.
In the bathroom.
Connor picked up his phone.
“Hello?”
Connor asked softly after picking up the phone.
“Mr. McDonald, where are you now?”
Thomas asked with a smile.
“I’m at Cloverville. What’s the matter?”
Connor was not in the mood to talk nonsense with Thomas, so he went straight to the point.
“Mr. McDonald, the Empire World Corporation is going to hold a banquet tonight. All the CEOs from your company will be attending. Some famous bosses in Porthampton will also come. 1 think it’s time for you to meet the people under you since you’ve inherited the old chairman’s legacy for so long!”
Thomas said slowly.
Connor knew that the business empire established by the old chairman in the country was very large. As long as it was a well-known company in the country, he had shares, so he needed a large number of people to manage these companies.
The people Thomas was referring to should be the bosses who were usually in charge of managing the companies under Connor.
However, these CEOs did not have the opportunity to have direct contact with Connor. After all, Thomas was in charge of all the company’s affairs.
“There’s no need for me to meet them. You can be the one who meets them!”
Connor hesitated for a moment before replying indifferently.
Connor felt that even if he went to the banquet today, he would probably have to listen to those people bootlicking, so he was not interested.
“That won’t do, Mr. McDonald. When these CEOs found out that you have inherited the Empire World Corporation, they have all been looking forward to meeting you. It would be bad if they accidentally offend you in the future. Moreover, those who are coming to attend the banquet today are the backbone of our corporation. If you don’t meet them, these people might be disappointed. This is for our company…”
Thomas advised earnestly.
“Alright, alright. I’ll go, okay? Where is the banquet? When will it be held?”
Connor interrupted Thomas helplessly.
“Tonight at eight o’clock at the Fairy Lake Resort in Porthampton!”
Thomas replied with a smile.
“Alright then, I’ll go over tonight!”
Connor knew that if he didn’t agree to Thomas’s request now, Thomas would definitely not let it go, so Connor could only agree.
“Do you want me to send someone to pick you up?”
Thomas asked eagerly.
“No. 1 know where the resort is. I’ll get a car myself!”
Connor replied with a faint tone before hanging up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Connor turned around and left the washroom. He walked straight to where he and Freya were.
However, when Connor returned to his seat, he was stunned.
“Ye… Yelena, why have you returned?”
Connor stammered.
At this moment, a girl happened to be sitting in Connor’s seat. This girl was none other than Yelena, who had already left the restaurant.
Yelena and Freya seemed to be chatting. However, Freya seemed to be quite happy and did not show any signs of anger.
‘Why did Yelena come back? What is she trying to do?’
Connor gritted his teeth and muttered, then directly walked toward Yelena.
“Connor, you’re back?”
Freya saw Connor walking over and quickly waved her hand.
“Yeah!”
Connor nodded at Freya and was about to question Yelena when she spoke first.
“Freya, who is this?”
Yelena pointed at Connor and asked Freya with a puzzled expression.
“Yelena, this is my fiance, Connor!”
Freya smiled as she introduced him. Then, she turned to Connor and said, “Connor, this is Miss Yelena. She’s the shareholder of this private restaurant!” “A shareholder?”
Connor was confused by the conversation between these two women. He clearly knew Yelena, but Yelena pretended not to know him. What was going on?
Connor couldn’t help but size Yelena up once again. When Freya wasn’t paying attention, Yelena winked at Connor and said with a smile, “Hello, Mr. McDonald. This private restaurant is owned by me and my friend. I had a great time chatting with Miss Freya today. I’ll give you a 50% discount for your meal with Miss Freya!”
“You…”
Connor was stunned for a moment and was about to speak.
However, Yelena turned to Freya and said, “Miss Freya, I still have something to do later, so 1’11 be leaving now!”
“Alright!”
Freya nodded lightly.
Yelena gave Connor a mysterious smile, then turned around and walked out of the restaurant.
‘What is this woman trying to do?’
Connor looked at Yelena’s back and could not help but mutter softly.
“Connor, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and sit down to eat. Otherwise, the dishes will get cold…”
Freya called out to Connor.
When Connor heard Freya’s words, he came back to his senses and hurriedly asked, “Freya, who was that?”
“I don’t know either. She just suddenly came over to chat with me and asked me if I made cosmetics. She also told me that she was a loyal user of our company’s cosmetics, so the two of us just chatted for a while…”
Freya replied calmly.
“Did she tell you anything strange?”
Connor continued to ask.
“No, the two of us have only been talking about cosmetics…”
Freya shook her head lightly before raising her head to look at Connor. She smiled and said, “Why are you so nervous? Do you know her?”
“No, no. I don’t know…”
Connor shook his head without thinking.
“Then, why are you so nervous?”
Freya asked in confusion.
“I’m just worried that the woman is a scammer!”
Connor replied indifferently.
“How is that possible? She’s a shareholder of this restaurant. How can she be a swindler?”
“It’s all good, then!”
Connor smiled awkwardly, then sat on the chair and started eating.
At this moment, he was also very puzzled because he could not understand why Yelena pretended not to know him and approached Freya. What was her goal?
Connor was initially feeling pretty good, but now he was starting to get suspicious..
