Chapter 862 The Client


    Rn stood up. As he watched Catherine walk away, he smiled. He didn’t mind being publicly embarrassed by Catherine. The more she did that, the more it showed she was anxious and not calm inside. Despite her disgust, he could still reach theb. After all, he was theb’s major sponsor now.


    Catherine had just returned to theb when she heard that Ultan had arrived. She hadn’t nned to go out, but Marshall saw her in the office and called her out.


    As they walked into the lobby of theb building, Catherine saw Rn standing next to Ultan. The moment Rn saw Catherine, his eyes lit up.


    However, Catherine’s face clearly disyed disgust. Obviously, she wasgetting tired of Rn’s persistent pursuit.


    “Mr. Melton, it’s rare for you to take the time to visit. How about saying a few words?” Ultan warmly invited Rn. His attitude toward Rn had changed quite a bit now. The failure of theb certification had made him less arrogant. If the sponsor withdrew at this moment, he couldn’t guarantee to find a more suitable or powerful sponsor.


    Rn humbly smiled, nodded, and said, “Mr. Farrell, since you are so gracious, I’ll say a few words. What I want to say is simple. The road to sess in experiments is always paved with failures. I know the recent setbacks have been discouraging for all the researchers, but these are inevitable challenges on the path to sess. I hope everyone won’t be disheartened and will persevere. Mpany and I will continue to support and witness your efforts. Thank you all.


    As Rn finished speaking, apuse resounded. It seemed that everyone had a favorable impression of Rn’s speech. But then again, it was not easy to find a deep-pocketed sponsor who didn’t care about the results.


    Ultan noticed Rn’s concern for Catherine and took the initiative to suggest that Catherine apany Rn on a tour of theboratory.


    Showing respect to Ultan, Catherine didn’t refuse the proposal. She led Rn and introduced theboratory coldly.


    “That’s the general situation. If there’s anything else you want to know, just ask,” Catherine said.


    Rn was not interested in theboratory equipment or detailed usage of the donated funds. He was concerned about Catherine.


    He asked, “Catherine, I heard something happened to Ronin. Is it serious? Do you need my help? Although I just arrived in Loxton, allocating some manpower is not difficult.”


    “Thanks, but you don’t need to mention him to me again,” Catherine replied and coldly rejected Rn’s offer.


    Seeing Catherine in a bad mood, Rn couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong? Did Ronin make you angry?”


    Catherine remained silent for a moment. This increased Rn’s certainty, and he cautiously continued, “I heard Ronin betrayed you, but when I heard the news, I couldn’t be sure. Is it true?”


    “Have you said enough?” Catherine looked up at him with anger in her eyes.


    “I…” Rn muttered.


    Before Rn could continue, Catherine interrupted him directly. She said, ” Theb tour is over. If you have any other needs, find Professor Hartley. I have to go finish my experiment report! “With that, Catherine left, leaving Rn somewhat caught off guard. He watched her departure helplessly.


    Meanwhile, Audrey arrived at the destination given by Kim. After asking around, she finally located Kim.


    Kim was busy discussing details with a photographer,pletely engrossed.


    “Kim,” Audrey called out.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    Hearing someone call his name, Kim impatiently said, “Wait on the side. I’llfind you in a bit.”


    Audrey chuckled. “Since you’re so busy, I won’t disturb you for now.”


    Kim paused for a moment, and then he recognized the familiar voice. Не turned around. Upon seeing Audrey, he immediately abandoned the photographer and rushed toward her. ” You brat, you actuallye back. I said if you dare show up, I’ll skin you alive!”


    “Should I leave then?” Audrey raised an eyebrow and looked at him.


    Kim pped her shoulder. “Can’t you hear I miss you too much?”


    “Miss me to the point of asking me to work for you?” Audrey teased.


    “It’s an emergency. I need your help,” Kim replied.


    Audrey exposed Kim’s ulterior motives, but since they were close, Kim didn’thide it. He said, “Now that you’re here, hurry up and change. After shooting this ad, it has to be approved by the client. If we secure this deal, I’ll be set for the year.”


    “Alright.” Audrey was here to help out. After listening to Kim’s instructions, she immediately began changing clothes.


    Despite her time away from the entertainment industry, Audrey hadn’t lost her skills. Themercial shoot went smoothly, concluding in a short time.


    Audrey then apanied Kim with the samples to meet the client. Along the way, Kim kept advising Audrey. He said, “Remember. This client is quite influential. If they act too high and mighty, take it easy. The sess of thepany’s performance assessment in the second half of the year depends on this deal.”


    Although Audrey had gained some fame in the entertainment industry and held a certain position, she understood the importance of not offending key yers. “Kim, don’t worry. I know how to handle it when the timees.”


    Just as Audrey assured him, Kim pushed open the door to the meeting room. However, upon seeing the person sitting inside, Audrey was instantly stunned.


    She quickly renounced her assurance, and her face darkened. “How could it be him?”


    Kim noticed Audrey’s unusual reaction and quickly tugged at her sleeve, whispering, “Be careful. That’s our bread and butter, you know?”


    Audrey couldn’t be unaware. She just couldn’t ept that the bread and butter was Brian. Looking at his smugface, she felt the urge to explode.


    Showing respect to Kim, Audrey reluctantly stepped into the meeting room.


    Kim handed the ad samples to Brian with a fawning smile, and the secretary on the side promptly took them. “Mr. White, please take a look.”


    Brian stared at Audrey, giving the impression that he was assessing the endorser. He said, “Not bad. The shots are good. Just a few minor issues that might need some adjustments…”


    Audrey had been holding back her anger, but hearing Brian deliberately nitpick, she erupted. Smack! A loud sound echoed as Audrey mmed her palm on the table. She red angrily at Brian. “Have you had enough?”


    The sudden outburst stunned everyone in the room. Kim was so shocked thathe stared nkly at the scene.


    Although Audrey wasn’t one to tolerate everything, no one had ever seen her so furious, especially at their potential major sponsor. Now, trouble brewed, and even Kim, who usually knew how to handle situations, was at a loss for what to do.
