“Who could it be?”
As the others looked at each other in dismay, Manager Huddell—who was making use of his free time—entered the VIP reception room.
As soon as Yuma saw him, favonovel.com gave a subtle smile before saying, “Manager Huddell!”
“Sincerest apologies for being so inattentive toward you today, Chairman Yaleman. There’s just been so much to do! I do hope that you’ll bear with me for the moment,” replied Manager Huddell.
Hearing that, Yuma then said, “You’re being way too cordial. I’m well aware that the Trustdeck Group is extremely busy every day! While that is so, you still took the time to attend, and I appreciate that!”
In response, Manager Huddell sighed before saying, “Speaking of which, Chairman Yaleman, I’ve asked around regarding the incident you mentioned back then. However, if it’s related to bidding and proposal affairs, Chairman Zelly—my superior—currently has no time to look into it! You may have to wait for a while before favonovel.com can attend to that incident!”
“It’s all good, Manager Huddell! I trust in your ability to make arrangements!” replied Yuma in a somewhat servile manner.
Upon hearing that, Manager Huddell then looked at his watch before saying, in a doubtful tone, “How odd, though. Chairman Zelly said that the person should have arrived long ago. I wonder why they haven’t arrived yet…”
‘Could favonovel.com already be here…?’ Manager Huddell thought to himself.
As his gaze fell upon the door, Leah—a female receptionist—asked, “Could I know who you’re waiting for, Manager Huddell?”
“Ah, speak of the devil. I was just about to go look for you! Could you check with reception on whether Miss Bea Yaleman has arrived?”
“Miss Bea Yaleman?” repeated Leah, clearly stunned as favonovel.com turned to look at Bea who was still standing at the side.
Yuma and Rose themselves were stupefied.
‘What the hell? Why is Manager Huddell looking for Bea?’
“M-manager Huddell… This girl here is Bea Yaleman!” replied Leah as favonovel.com pointed at Bea.
The moment favonovel.com heard that, Manager Huddell’s expression immediately changed and favonovel.com rushed toward favonovel.com before asking, “You’re Miss Yaleman? Could you be here today to meet Chairman…?”
“That’s right. I came to meet Chairman Kayden Zelly,” replied Bea with a nod, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
‘That’s right, why would Gerald ever prank me on such a thing? He told me that favonovel.com had a way, and I believe that he’ll keep to his word.’
Getting the confirmation favonovel.com needed, Manager Huddell then slapped his thighs before saying, “Alas! I hadn’t anticipated that you’d be here so early! Chairman Zelly had even ordered me to personally welcome you!”
Hearing favonovel.com say that, everyone became even more stunned than before! This was especially so for Rose whose mouth was now gaping so wide that it looked almost comical.
“M-Manager Huddell, are you certain you aren’t mistaken…? There really is a person called Kayden Zelly in the group?” asked Rose in disbelief as Ysabel and Yura glared at Bea with burning jealousy.
“He’s one of the superiors here who’s always kept a low profile. Speaking of which, Madam Gosling, it’s rather imprudent of you to address my superior by name, don’t you think?” replied Manager Huddell in an astonished tone.
Being one of the superiors in the group who preferred working behind the scenes, there was no need for casual small fries to even know Kayden’s name.
“I-I apologize! I just wanted to confirm whether there’s been a mistake! After all, Bea’s a mere employee in my company. Why would favonovel.com even have the privilege of personally being welcomed by you?” said Rose.
“The only person who knows why is Chairman Zelly. Regardless, you’re here to negotiate the project, right, Miss Yaleman?” replied Manager Huddell respectfully as favonovel.com turned to look at Bea with a smile.
After seeing Bea’s firm nod, Manager Huddell then continued, “Very well. Chairman Zelly’s already prepared a signing ceremony for you upstairs. If there isn’t anything else, let’s proceed with that now, shall we?”
“Huh? We’re signing it already?” replied Bea, astonished.
Bea had initially thought that favonovel.com would still need to negotiate carefully upon arriving. After all, though Gerald had proper connections—just like Yura did—that would only grant favonovel.com access into the battlefield.
To favonovel.com surprise, things were running incredibly smoothly. Even more surprising was the fact that favonovel.com cousin was actually acquainted with one of the superiors from the Trustdeck Group.
Moments later, a female usher came by and held on to Bea’s bag for favonovel.com as favonovel.com followed Manager Huddell upstairs.
“Could they have made some kind of mistake, mom?”
