“Mummy!”
Floyd’s voice snapped her back to reality.
Rosalind immediately ended the video call and quickly rolled up the car window!
Seeing Cedric outside, talking on the phone while walking past her, her heart leaped into her throat.
It pounded so hard it felt like it might jump out of her mouth!
In truth, she should have driven away from the scene immediately, but… her eyes couldn’t help but follow Cedric’s figure.
What exactly did she want to see?
That person?
As these three words crossed her mind, Rosalind suddenly felt a wave of clarity.
She averted her gaze and lowered her eyelashes to start the car engine.
Some dreams, once awakened from, should not be revisited.
Rosalind drove back to the company from the construction site. As soon as she entered the parking lot, she saw Mr. Wong in the distance, talking on the phone with an exasperated look on his face.
Strictly speaking, Mr. Wong wasn’t really her superior. At Eastsun Corporation, Rosalind’s position as project director was almost on par with his as general manager. However, this development project was quite extensive and required an experienced hand to lead. Mr. Wong was familiar with the intricacies and was appointed by the board, so Rosalind didn’t contest his leadership.
After all, if the project succeeded, everyone would profit, and as a junior, it was only right to show deference.
Mr. Wong noticed her and waved before ending his call and walking over.
“I looked into it carefully, and just as you suspected, a designer privately contacted that holdout family and demanded a million if it succeeded.” Mr. Wong was furious at the mention of this. “Do you know how much trouble this has caused? The investors almost pulled out!”
Rosalind smiled. “Since we’ve found out, we can at least stop the losses in time.”
“But what about the holdout family? Have you negotiated with them?” The design plans had already been leaked, so that family definitely wouldn’t move easily.
“Not yet, but we’re close.” Rosalind paused before continuing, “Have that employee who leaked the design come see me later. Since she’s gained the trust of the holdout family, we should use that to our advantage.”
Mr. Wong raised an eyebrow. “Use someone like that? She should be fired immediately!”
“Resolving the demolition issue is more urgent right now. We can deal with her after we secure the land.”
“Alright then, I’ll leave it to you! Thank you, Miss Ruell, for handling this personally.”
Rosalind waved it off. “It’s my duty.”
After exchanging a few more words, Mr. Wong turned to leave when Rosalind suddenly called out to him.
“By the way, Mr. Wong, isn’t Wayne Investments our investor for this resort project?”
“Yes.” Mr. Wong looked puzzled by her question. “Didn’t you read the tender documents?”
She had read them, which was why she was confused about seeing Cedric at the construction site.
He couldn’t have switched from W Group, could he?
“Wayne Investments must have significant resources; their boss must be quite capable.”
Mr. Wong waved dismissively and scoffed. “Ha! Wayne wouldn’t have that kind of cash flow for investments if they hadn’t been acquired by W Group.”
Rosalind was stunned. “Wayne is now part of W Group?”
“You didn’t know? In investment circles nowadays, who can thrive without some connection to W Group?”
Mr. Wong continued with admiration in his voice, “I truly respect the president of W Group! Young and capable! Handsome and talented! Speaking of which… last time I saw your daughter, I thought she resembled W Group’s president Ulric a bit!”
