“It’s getting late, and the contract requires an appendix to be annotated. I need to review it before the legal department can finalize the contract.”
“…”
Sirena sounded anxious, her voice carrying a sense of urgency. “Don’t waste any more time. Prosperity Holdings’ lawyer is waiting here. Just send it to this email address.”
With that, she abruptly ended the call!
Shortly after, an email address appeared on Rosalind’s phone.
Believing that Sirena, as the chief lawyer of W Group, wouldn’t do anything detrimental to the company, Rosalind opened the Huayi project document and sent the necessary materials.
Upon arriving at the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, Rosalind stepped out of the car and noticed Cedric standing next to Ulric.
Has he finished his work?
“Hurry up, we’re just waiting for your confirmation and signature,” Cedric waved his hand, urging her.
Rosalind walked over in her high heels, slightly bowing her head as she passed by Ulric, greeting Mr. Walters.
Following Cedric, she silently observed his communication techniques with the staff, always mindful of the fact that she was there to learn.
With everything settled, the business trip task was successfully completed. All that remained was to wait.
As they exited the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, Ulric was still standing there, holding a cigarette between his slender fingers.
He always presented himself impeccably, wearing a crisp suit and neatly combed hair. Even in the summer, he didn’t switch to short sleeves.
“Is everything done?”
“Yes,” Rosalind nodded.
“As a reward for your hard work, I’ll treat you all today,” Ulric extinguished his cigarette and discarded it in a nearby trash can.
“Thank you, Mr. Walters!”
Cedric had already joined him in the car, while Rosalind followed slowly behind.
At the hotel, the waiter led them directly to the reserved private room.
Suddenly!
Rosalind heard someone calling her name.
She instinctively turned around and saw a young man swiftly approaching her. His face seemed familiar, but she couldn’t recall his name.
“Rosalind, it’s really you!”
Noticing her slight confusion, the young man casually smirked, “Forgot? I’m Harold Cress, your middle school classmate! The one who confessed to you in ninth grade and got rejected!”
“…”
With the mention of middle school, Rosalind instinctively glanced at Ulric.
Harold followed her gaze.
“Ulric?! Am I seeing things right?”
He was someone usually seen only on TV screens!
“You’re not mistaken.”
Remaining calm despite Rosalind’s surprise, Ulric walked over to her side and gestured for Cedric and the others to go inside.
“It’s been many years, and you’ve become even more handsome. In middle school, you were already the tallest and most impressive in our class,” Harold continued chatting, oblivious to any peculiarities. “Hey, why did both of you suddenly leave the group chat back then?”
“…” Rosalind wanted to say something, but she didn’t know what to say, he always brought up awkward topics.
“We accidentally deleted it,” Ulric intervened and took over the conversation.
“Let’s add each other on WhatsApp. I’ll bring you both back into the group! There’s talk of a class reunion soon, and you should come!”
Ulric didn’t put on any airs and generously took out his phone.
Harold added him and then handed his phone’s QR code to Rosalind.
Suddenly, Ulric spoke up, “Adding me is enough, I’ll add her.”
