After all, the person in the VIP room possessed a power unimaginable to those in a small place like Stresall. If she truly had any connection with Quentin and wanted to help him, it would be as easy as lifting a finger.
At this moment, in the VIP room, Virginia had brewed several cups of coffee, adjusted the sugar, and placed them on the table, with steam still rising and a faint aroma wafting through the air. She sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, exuding a slightly lazy yet incredibly elegant demeanor. Her pure white women’s suit perfectly accentuated her body’s curves.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the secretary led Quentin and another person inside. As that somewhat familiar tall figure stepped in, a ripple appeared in her cold eyes. However, upon seeing the woman he was holding hands with, the sparkle in her eyes gradually faded away, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her heart.
Seeing him again with another woman by his side made her realize that they were not destined to be together; someone else had already taken her place. Fate can be so unpredictable.
A trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes before she quickly regained her smile. “Mr. Howard, it’s been a long time. This must be Mrs. Howard. She’s truly beautiful.”
She glanced at Charlotte, a fleeting look of envy in her eyes. “Mrs. Howard, Mr. Holland is very generous to you. He used to make me pay for candied hawthorns myself.”
Quentin retorted, “Nonsense!”
Charlotte’s first impression of Virginia was that this woman exuded a powerful aura. However, when facing them, she seemed to restrain it. Her appearance was stunning even without makeup. Her fair and delicate skin and perfectly proportioned figure showcased the advantages of being a woman to the fullest. Yet, her hidden cold arrogance made it hard for anyone to harbor disrespectful thoughts.
That icy demeanor gave off a subtle sense of oppression, even when subdued. However, Virginia’s few words quickly eased the tense atmosphere without any pretense.
Charlotte laughed, “Was he such a jerk before? That’s unacceptable. I’ll punish him by making him buy all the candied hawthorns in Stresall for you without charging you a penny!”
Virginia chuckled, “I wouldn’t dare. Mr. Howard is quite precious. It seems only you, sister, have the fortune to command him.”
Her tone was filled with strong envy.
Charlotte didn’t respond but felt something odd about her words. “You will find a man who cherishes you too. A woman as outstanding as you won’t lack quality men around.”
Virginia thought to herself, The man I want is right beside you. Where else can I find one? To others, he might be surrounded by quality men, but none of them are what she desires.
She pressed her red lips together and smiled calmly. “I’m still young and focused on my career. Let’s not talk about this for now.”
“I invited you here today because there’s something I want to discuss with you. I’m a businesswoman, so let’s talk business today. Charlotte, are you interested?”
Hearing this, Charlotte frowned slightly and said, “I’m just an ordinary woman with little knowledge of business matters. If you’re willing to teach me a thing or two, I’d be happy to listen.”
“Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Virginia,” Virginia said with a slight smile. “I founded QM Group.”
Virginia!
Charlotte’s heart trembled!
No wonder this woman looked so familiar; she was the legendary beauty CEO of Striudan and a rising star in the business world!
She never expected that the person before her was indeed Virginia herself!
However… hearing “QM Group” now made her feel slightly uncomfortable…
She suppressed the emotions in her heart and said, “Miss Moran, please go ahead.”
