Chapter 68
“The Royale is a big deal, Ciara,” his father said, as soon as the Sullivans held a meeting to discuss the proposed project that Ciara would <b>personally </b><b>handle</b>, knowing she is now sitting as the CEO of the <bpany</b>.
“Haynes might be the second among us when ites to sales now, and we are leading but the Royale were like the creators of billionaires. They were the ones who were behind the sess of every big business nowadays as they have most of the West and Europe. It would be as easy as getting a trip around the world if you work with them because they would be exporting the transaction all over the world.”
Ciara nodded. “I am taking it, father. I won’t waste this.”
Serra smiled. “Oh, I thought you would give way since I heard the Haynes are after them too, specifically the love of your life.” Serra chuckled.
Louis arched his brow. “Business is business, Ciara. Set aside your feelings.”
Ciara red at Serra for a while, then proceeded to make <b>a </b><b>serious </b>expression <b>as </b>she looked at Louis.
“I already scheduled a dinner with Mr. Johnson, <b>which </b>was handled by Gwen herself. I might be meeting up with him one of these days to talk about it, Ciara exined.
“Good. Imagine for how many years the Royale wasn’t giving <b>us </b>some attention, and now that you were the one handling it, they’re suddenly interested. That might be a maniac who’s obsessed with pretty girls.”
*Shut up, Chance. Not all men are like you.” <b>Serra </b>cut him off.
“What? I am just <b>saying</b>. It was so odd how they considered working with Ciara<b>: </b><b>Chance </b>raised his brow.
“Let’s give them the benefit of the doubt, Chance. This is a big opportunity not just for our business but for Ciara to explore more in the business industry. Who knows the legacy she would make on her <b>own</b>?<b>” </b>Mrs. Sullivan said.
“How big are they?” Ciara asked
All of their faces changed at Ciara’s mere questions as if she asked something that could cure cancer without her knowledge.
“The Royale consisted of big ambassadors, mostly behind the tradings and real estate. To sum it up, there was this business they funded, whichter on made a history of making the man the number one billionaire in the world after that business. That’s their effect, Ciara,” Louis exined.
“Which means….they’re bigger than the bigger ones!” <b>Ciara </b>concluded
“They’re the creators. Though they work secretly to avoid some of the businesses flocking right in front of them, mostly they do the offers, Chance exined further.
Though I am <b>already </b>considered a billionaire myself, these kinds of opportunities still <b>weigh </b>a lot, Ciara. If Mr. Johnson would like to work with you, I suggest you take it. That’s actually the secret behind sess. We always take what’s offered to us and make the best out of it,” Mr. Sullivan uttered.
Mrs. Sullivan smiled at her daughter. “I know you are still new in this industry, but you’ve already reached this far, and I’m so <b>proud </b>of you, my dear. Keep soaring high. I know you are doing this not just for yourself but also for <b>Cara</b>. We all root for
you.
<b>Ciara </b>smiled as her eyes turned a bit blurry, as she was so touched to hear iting <b>from </b>her mother. When her family noticed it, they all smiled and started teasing her.
“Oh, look. The baby is emotional, <b>Chance </b>teased.
Ciara rolled her eyes and controlled the tears not to fall down as she wiped them off right away.
“Aww… you have been a tough adulttely, and to see our Ciara being this vulnerable in front of us is really a very rare day.” <b>Serra </b>pointed out as she moved her swivel <b>chair </b>until it bumped against Ciara’s chair as she rested her head against Ciara’s shoulder <b>and </b>hugged her sideways.
“Are <b>you </b>brokenhearted? That man has <b>done </b>something again.” Chance asked, lifting his brow while he looked at Ciara with full judgment.
Chapter
<b>Ciara </b>was so rare to show emotion to them that when she got brokenhearted by Callum and needed to move to Paris, they didn’t see her shed any tears, and they all thought it wasn’t really a big deal.
But to see her now being emotional so suddenly, they were all thinking it might have something to <b>do </b>with her ongoing love
life.
“I thought you two were doing well since Callum looked determined to make it up to you. Even Cara already likes <b>him</b>. What did he do?” Mrs. Sullivan asked as the anger mingled in her words.
“That asshole, really?” Louis shook his head.
“No. This isn’t about him. I’m just happy for this that you are all supporting <b>me</b><b>,</b>” she exined thoroughly.
Her father smiled. “Why wouldn’t we, Ciara? We will always be there for you. We will always show our support for anything you do
Ciara nodded as she was kind of emotional about having a conversation with them like she was doing something <b>bad </b>again, and she didn’t expect warm support instead of expressing that they were disappointed in her.
“If you say
say that you are going to marry him if he’s making you happy, we will approve it, <b>Ciara</b>, Mr. Sullivan continued.
Chance rolled his eyes. “The only thing I like here is that he’s making Cara happy, He needs a lot of things to prove it. Saypletely drop that woman out of his life, and I’ll believe him if he prioritizes Ciara now over anyone else.”
“He’s doing his best, Chance. Let’s cut him some ck,” Mrs. Sullivan said.
“I am nning to say yes to him if he asks me <b>again</b>,” <b>Ciara </b>admitted this time, as she wanted it toe out of her mouth <b>and </b>they would hear it.
Serra smiled <b>and </b>squeezed her. “Oh, I could already imagine you in a wedding dress. You would be the prettiest bride for sure.”This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
“I’m sure she will be,” Mrs. Sullivan said happily.
Mr. Sullivan looked at Chance and Louis as he <b>only </b>shrugged, giving them signs that <b>they </b>couldn’t do anything about it anymore since it was now Ciara who decided.
After the meeting she had with them, Ciara went home until she saw Callum there, who was in the living room with Cara sitting on hisp while she was leaning against his chest <b>as </b>she showed Callum a paper.
“This is me, you, and Mommy, she heard <b>Cara </b>exining
“You have <b>a </b>talent for drawing. <b>You </b>draw it beautifully,” Callumplimented and Cara’s side of her head.
When Callum noticed she was already there, including Cara, who immediately went out of Callum’sp and ran to her, Callum stood as well and walked toward her.
Ciara smiled at her daughter and <b>crouched </b>a bit to wee her as she her <b>cheek</b>.
“I draw us, mommy! Look!” She showed <b>the </b>paper excitedly.
“Wow, this is so cute. <b>You </b>should tell L to frame this.”
“Alright!” Cara ran to where <b>L </b><b>was </b>until Ciara was left with Callum
She coaxed her to go to the patio as she told one of the housemaids to give them some drinks and a dessert she could munch.
“I heard you were interested in the Royale.” She pointed it out <b>as </b>soon as they sat
“Oh yes. I have been eyeing it for how many years now? Hopefully, they will answer my request. But maybe it <b>was </b>taking so long since I heard they don’t usually ept proposals. They were the ones who <b>gave </b>some proposals.”
Ciara nodded. “Yup. That’s what I know too.”
“Why?” Callum asked, a bit intrigued as he put his hands into his pocket and leaned against the seat. “Are you interested in them too?”
“Uls, they actually proposed some projects to coborate with me. Gwen <b>has </b>already assigned a dinner for the both of us to talk about it.” Ciara looked at Callum carefully, as if <b>she </b>were trying to find evidence <b>that </b>would mingle with his reaction.

Callum nodded. “It was you who got the offer. <b>I </b>would be happy to know if you epted it. That’s a big opportunity, Ciara.”
Ciara smiled. “My family wants me to pursue it too. I might sign the contract once I read it and work with them.”
Callum smiled. “I <b>knew </b>you would do well in business. Look at you now.”
Ciara chuckled a little. I’m still having doubts about myself, but I believe I might do it.”
“No. You can do it. I could sense it in you. Pursue it. Don’t think about me. I’m really fine without getting an offer from them. Maybe it’s really for you.”
