Chapter 329 See Enselle Dance
Emelle was genuinely taken aback to see Justina lining arms intimately with Colt.
In her mind flashed the information provided by Charles. Colt was married with two kids but often carried on affairs behind his wife’s back.
So Justina sought out Colt after leaving Swanson Corporation?
Emelie’s initial reaction was one of regret. Justina was actually quite good at her job.
However, everyone had their own choices. Emelie naturally refrained from commenting further. She breezily ignored Justina’s provocative glance and approached them with a smile.
“Mr. Brilh, I’m Emelie Hoven, Mr. Swanson’s secretary at Swanson Corporation.”
Colt’s eyes lit up upon seeing her. His gaze openly swept over her. He smiled broadly before saying, “It’s a pleasure to finally meet you in person.”
He shook hands with Emelie but didn’t immediately let go. “I’ve heard your name since your time at Cloudex Corporation.
“I was actually keen to recruit you to Citadel Group after your departure from Cloudex, but Mr. Middleton didn’t permit it. Alas, I lost a talented individual Who would’ve thought you’d end up at Swanson Corporation?”
Emelle calmly withdrew her hand from his lingering grip. “You’re too kind, Mr. Rrily. It seems we’re all acquainted. I’ll raise a toast to you later. Mr. Reilly, the private room is prepared. Please, after you.”
“Okay,” Colt said, bending his elbow. Justina immediately linked hers with his, and together they entered Lovelight.
As they walked, Justina glanced back at Emelie while lifting her chin as if to say, “You didn’t allow me in Lovelight that day, but here I am today!”
Emelie didn’t come alone, of course. She had brought two assistants and a business manager along.
One assistant was wide–eyed with surprise. “Why is Justina….?”
Emelie pondered for a moment. “Before I joined Swanson Corporation, Justina temporarily took over the secretary’s role. Swanson Corporation was in contact with Citadel Group during that time, right? Has Justina met Mr. Reilly at that time?”
“Yeah, she even bragged in the office about Mr. Reilly asking for her number and giving her a designer bag,” the assistant whispered. “But I never expected she’d actually. This is so awkward
The assistant found it awkward because she caught a former colleague being a sugar baby.
Emelie, on the other hand, felt confident that justina wouldn’t feel awkward, Justina might even feel proud, as if she had won over the tycoon.
“Just pretend you don’t know her,” Emelie instructed the assistants, who nodded in understanding
Citadel Group wasn’t particularly interested in this collaboration, but given its strong presence in the northem market, it could open doors for Swanson Corporation. The latter needed Citadel Group.
Bryan had tasked her with this project to test whether she was fltfor the head secretary position.
“Mr. Reilly, as I mentioned earlier, I’d like to toast to you.” Emelie raised her glass.
“Of course, of course.” Colt chuckled. While she filled his glass, he brushed his hand against hers.
Emelie remained composed. She waited until he had taken a sip before saying, “Mr. Reilly, I assume you’ve reviewed the proposal we sent over. What are your thoughts?”
“The proposal.” Colt smacked his lips. “Frankly, your proposal is very well done. However, Swanson Corporation is quite weak in the north. You’re almost entirely reliant on Citadel Group. In your young people’s terms, you’re ‘riding on our coattails, which feels like a disadvantage.”
Emelie smiled. “While Swanson Corporation may not match Citadel Group’s influence in the northern market, we’re financially stable and can alleviate some of Citadel Group’s pressures. We are sincere in aiming for long–term cooperation. Hence, we propose à 40:60 split in favor of Citadel Group.”
Colt stroked his chin, contemplating seriously. It seemed he was wavering
Just then, Justina, who had been silent, suddenly exclaimed and collapsed against Colt
Colt immediately turned to her. “Tina, what’s wrong?
“It’s so boring. Mr. Reilly, Didn’t you say you were bringing me here for fun? Why are you talking about work the whole time?” Justina clung to Colt’s arm.
Her chest kept brushing against him, and her outfit’s low neckline made it hard for him to stay focused.
Emelie and the others tactfully averted their gaze.
The assistant, who had just mentioned the awkwardness at the door, now could barely resist the urge to pull out her phone and frantically post about it in the group chat
In their three years of working together, they knew Justina was very materialistic, but they never imagined she would stoop so low for money.
Justina was his new favorite, and Colt was clearly still enchanted by the novelty. He responded eagerly, “Oh, sorry, baby. What do you want to do?”
Justina snuggled up to Colt, but her eyes were glancing toward Emelie
“I heard Ms. Hoven used to be in the school’s dance team and was quite good. Mr. Reilly, would you like to see her dance?”
