Chapter 25- Miss Louis
"Miss Louis from the Louis Group wants to see you. Do you have time now?" Janet put down the phone as Charles approached, her large eyes fixed on his tall, commanding presence.
"Isn’t all my time scheduled by you anyway?" Charles said, folding one arm around his other elbow while stroking his chin with his free hand, giving Janet a teasing smile.
"Huh?" Janet blinked, confused by what he meant...
"Oh, right—Miss Louis from the Louis Group—that’s you, Janet, isn’t it?" Charles kept walking forward but suddenly turned back, giving Janet a meaningful smile. After spending these past few days together, she was starting to catch the hidden meaning behind his words.
"Send her up," Janet said, picking up the phone again to give the instruction.
Not long after, a stylish, modern woman stepped out of the elevator. Her ash-blonde hair fell in soft waves over her shoulders. She wore a tight black dress that hugged her graceful figure. The plunging neckline revealed a clear glimpse of her curves. Her long, pale legs clicked gracefully against the polished marble floor in sharp high heels. As she passed Janet, the scent of her perfume—strikingly similar to Charles’s—drifted over. Elvira gave Janet a proud, sideways glance, then walked straight into the CEO’s office.
Janet glanced toward the closed conference room. It seemed only Charles had come out moments ago. But the meeting wasn’t over—why had he left early?
The vivid clarity of the digital projector’s display bombarded August’s senses. His long fingers tapped rhythmically on the rectangular conference table. Besides him, only Amos and Giles remained in the room. Charles had just finished estimating the bids for Phase Two of Golden Harbor and left. The remaining work was now being handled by his assistant, Giles.
"These cases are all under August’s responsibility now. For this ad campaign, the CEO decided to have Miss Ivanka as the official spokesperson. But there are a few other auditions that also looked promising, so the final decision is up to you," Giles said, handing over the contract Charles had given him to August. The flickering light from the slideshow cast an eerie yet captivating glow across August’s pale face.
