Chapter 100


    When Pauline saw Selena agreeing without any hesitation, her anger that had just spiked


    dissipated significantly. “President Yard—”


    “You don’t need to say anything, Pauline. I understand your feelings. You’re a citizen of Astoria, so


    you want to make a name for yourself here. I know that, so when everything is on track here, I’ll put


    you in charge of everything.”


    Upon hearing this, Pauline looked at her with gratitude that extended beyond words.


    Springvale is a foreign country to her, so no matter how good she did over there, the sense of


    belonging is still missing. At the end of the day, Astoria is her home country. In this, Selena


    understood her very well. I feel the same way. If possible, everyone will rather stay in their own


    homnd, a ce they’re familiar with.


    Pauline then promptly gave her proposal to her, and she then took her team to Fowler Corporation


    right away. They waited for a while in the waiting lounge downstairs before someone came over.


    “You may go on up, Miss Yard.”


    Everyone got to their feet together. “Only Miss Yard is invited, so others have to stay here.” The


    person who spoke had an extremely disdainful demeanor, seemingly looking down on those from


    JNS Corporation.


    This was the second time Pauline’s team had been treated such, so they were all the more


    infuriatedpared to the first time. “President Yard, they’re clearly snubbing us!”


    “It’s okay. You guys wait here. I’ll go alone.” Selena then went upstairs with the other person. As the


    elevator slowly ascended, she inquired, “May I know if the LAYA’s liaison is here today? I don’t want


    to make another wasted trip.”


    “He’s here, waiting for you in the meeting room.”


    “That’s good.”


    Selena was led to a room. “This is it. You may enter without knocking, Miss Yard.” After saying that,


    the person left.


    Selena opened the door in puzzlement, but it was pitch dark inside! This room is either smack-dab


    in the middle, thus having no windows, or the curtains have been drawn since there isn’t a spark of


    light in here! Just when she was grousing inwardly, wondering whether she’d been brought to the


    wrong ce, the room suddenly lit up, giving her a scare.


    As soon as she lifted her eyes, she was greeted by the sight of a man sitting at the huge table, his


    legs propped on the table as he stared straight at her with a nefarious look in his eyes. And it was


    none other than Pierre Fowler! His profound and narrow eyes radiated an icy coldness that had her


    unconsciously shuddering. Nheless, she forced herself to calm down. “What are you up to now,


    Pierre Fowler?”


    Narrowing his eyes, Pierre folded his hands behind his head, looking all rxed. He shrugged


    without saying anything.


    “Where’s your liaison? I don’t want to yak with you today!” Selena truly didn’t want to waste time on


    this impudent b*stard.


    “I’m the liaison.”


    Her eyes bugging, Selena gaped at Pierre incredulously. Does he have nothing better to do? Is he


    not swamped with managing two conglomerates that he actually wants to handle a smallpany


    under his corporation?Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    “Aren’t you here to discuss the coboration? Where’s your proposal?” It seemed that Pierre wasn’t


    interested in exchanging pleasantries with her, for he went straight to the coboration and


    proposal.


    Selena knew that he wasn’t that easily dissuaded, but she was indeed here to discuss the


    coboration, so she had no other recourse. With the proposal and a small tablet in hand, she sat


    down. To avoid contact with him, she chose a seat far away from him. However, just when her butt


    had touched the chair, she heard his wintry voice. “I won’t be able to hear you clearly if you’re so far


    from me. Sit closer.”
