During the short journey, Nelson explained the background of the meeting to her in simple and understandable terms.
The other party was a foreign venture capital company coming to negotiate with Oconnor Group. The presence of the media was due to the recent severe market conditions, and a victory for the capital side was needed to boost morale.
Therefore, today’s meeting was crucial and could not afford any mistakes.
Bringing Callie, who knew nothing about the matter, was a complete gamble for Nelson.
When they arrived at the venue, the staff of Oconnor Group were stunned. “Mr. Oconnor, this is…”
Callie wore light makeup today, looking very young and completely like a little girl. But everyone recognized her as Mrs. Oconnor.
Nelson’s face darkened. “She will come up with me later.”
Such an important meeting, and Callie, who knew nothing, was to attend?
She was also shocked. “I’m afraid…”
Anthony saw Nelson and hurriedly approached him, whispering a few words in his ear. The man suddenly raised his eyes.
The representative from the other party had already walked over. Callie instinctively turned her head, her pupils dilating.
The sunlight outside was bright, shining on the man in formal attire, making him look very handsome and upright. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and scrutinized Callie without any expression.
Callie never expected it to be Jamir.
She thought she had avoided him after the school anniversary, but she didn’t expect to see him again here.
Nelson noticed Jamir’s biased gaze, curled his lips, and extended his hand. “It’s been so long, finally seeing the true face of the person behind the scenes.”
Jamir finally came back to his senses and met his gaze. “The company I started years ago for fun is far inferior to Oconnor Group.”
In fact, this company was quite impressive; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been qualified for Nelson to negotiate personally.
An assistant timely handed over a document with Jamir’s name prominently displayed, piercing Nelson’s eyes.
He squinted, glanced at Callie beside him, who seemed distracted and lost in thought.
He pinched the paper between his fingers without revealing any emotion. “Jamir, please.”
Everyone entered the room. Callie sat beside Nelson with a heavy heart. The documents in her hands contained all the illegal clauses of Jamir’s company, prepared for use later.
She skimmed through them quickly and had to admit that Nelson truly knew international law by heart. Many of these clauses were nitpicking but left no room for argument.
As soon as Callie appeared, the media’s eyes lit up. Why was Mrs. Oconnor here?
Was she being introduced to the business world?
Nelson glanced at Jamir, took Callie’s hand, and smiled. “Ladies and gentlemen, forgive me. My assistant today is my wife.”
The room erupted in commotion.
Callie was also surprised. In such a setting, it was clear that Mrs. Oconnor could now freely attend important occasions at Oconnor Group!
These financial media accidentally captured photos that entertainment reporters would die for, causing a stir and even some jeering.
This news was evidently more significant than any gossip!
Jamir sat on the side, smiling faintly. “Mr. Oconnor, you’re in a good mood.”
The person who was supposed to negotiate with Nelson today was someone else. But upon arriving in the country, they were immediately called away by Oconnor Group under the pretext of communication. Unable to be questioned casually, Jamir had no choice but to step in and save the day.
It was an unexpected turn of events for Nelson as well; he hadn’t anticipated it would be Jamir.
Facing Jamir’s gentle eyes, Callie felt very guilty.
She could hardly sit still.
