The speaker was unintentional, but to Rosalind, it meant something entirely different.
“Ah? Haha… really…”
“Yes, truly! About two years ago, I had the honor of meeting Mr. Walters once. He was impeccably handsome. Even as a man, I couldn’t find any flaws in him! Tall and good-looking, your daughter really does resemble him a bit.”
“That’s quite a coincidence.” Rosalind was already calculating how to prevent people in the business world from seeing Floyd in the future, including company colleagues or superiors.
Although she and Ulric were worlds apart and had little chance of meeting, it didn’t mean that everyone around her wouldn’t come into contact with him!
“Speaking of which, I’ve never seen your husband! He must be very handsome too. Look at your adorable little one. You should bring him out one day so we can meet him.”
Mr. Wong genuinely admired the woman in front of him.
She had truly clawed her way up from the bottom to her current director position! When Dongsheng faced several crises in the past, she tirelessly persuaded investors day and night. It was even said that she dared to make a military pledge to the board of directors, promising to resign if she couldn’t secure the deals!
To marry such a strong-willed woman, her husband must be quite a character as well.
“He’s busy with work. I hardly see him myself! Once he has some free time, I’ll have him come over and treat everyone to a meal.”
“That’s a promise then!”
Rosalind smiled and nodded, then watched him leave.
Wearing high heels, she walked into her office and the first thing she did was call Dongsheng’s vice president.
“Lion, I want to withdraw from the Wayer City resort project.”
There was a long pause on the other end of the line before he spoke, “Did I hear you right? Didn’t you volunteer for this project?”
“Yes…” If Rosalind hadn’t encountered Cedric, she certainly wouldn’t have chosen to withdraw from this project. But since she had met him, she had to avoid it quickly! “It’s just that there’s an unexpected situation. My daughter isn’t adapting well without me. I need to go back. Running back and forth would waste time. Considering this, I think it’s better for me to withdraw.”
“If that’s the case, it’s easy to solve. I’ll find a house in Wayer City for your husband and daughter. The project will take some time anyway. The scenery here is nice; consider it a company-paid vacation. All expenses will be covered by the company.”
Lion also believed that no one was more suitable than Rosalind at this moment.
She was diligent and hardworking, the perfect choice. For such an important project, with the investor being a branch of W Group, it had to be executed flawlessly.
“But…”
“Rosalind, if you have any requests, feel free to ask. I’ll agree to anything within reason, but this project cannot proceed without you.”
Rosalind raised her hand to rub her forehead. “Can I request not to have any contact with the investors?”
“Why?”
“I have some history with W Group and would prefer not to see them again.” She had no choice but to mix truth with lies to come up with an excuse.
Lion laughed, “Don’t worry about that. We’re only collaborating with Wayne Investments. W Group has a lot on their plate recently and won’t be sending anyone to contact us.”
But Rosalind was still worried about running into Ulric.
However, the next moment, her worries were dispelled.
“I heard that the president of W Group is getting married soon and has been abroad. So for this project collaboration, W Group’s headquarters only sent his secretary to oversee things.”
“…”
Ulric is getting married?
