Chapter 101: First Meeting
Four years ago...
At the time, Victoria didn’t know Matthias personally. She only knew him through social media articles that went viral about him, often due to his perfectionist and hard-working nature. Furthermore, Matthias frequently modeled for business magazine photoshoots and conducted numerous interviews. Upon learning she had been chosen as the primary vendor to design the perfectionist CEO’s luxury residence, Victoria was extremely nervous and afraid of failure. Furthermore, having only been running her studio for a few years, she worried that the results would disappoint the perfectionist CEO.
Matthias invited Victoria to meet at a bar in the Emerald Hotel. Victoria was still unaccustomed to meeting clients in bars. She assumed that meeting clients in bars usually meant harassment. Victoria was mentally prepared to confront her client if he acted recklessly.
Upon arriving at the bar, Victoria nervously approached the perfectionist CEO, who looked even more handsome in person. Furthermore, the cold gaze he gave her made it difficult to swallow. She gripped her bag trembling as if she were facing a murderer.
"You’re finally here, Victoria. I’ve been waiting for you for the past five minutes," Matthias greeted, looking at the luxury watch on his left wrist.
Victoria lowered her head awkwardly. "Forgive me."
"Thankfully, I’m in a good mood today. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have forgiven you."
"I will be more careful."
Matthias extended his right hand. "I’m Matthias Emerson, CEO of T&H Group. I haven’t formally introduced myself yet."
"I’m Victoria Erianthe, founder of Star Wisdom Studio." Victoria nervously held the handsome CEO’s hand.
"You can call me Matthias if you want. Don’t call me Mr Matthias! I hate it!"
"Alright. I obey you. I want you to call me Victoria."
