Chapter 785 Hitting A Wall


    Looking up, he saw a woman in a white dress approaching quickly. She walked up to Zach and pulled


    his hand down. “What are you doing? You’ve caused trouble for me again.”


    It was unmistakably Heather.


    With a reluctant sigh, Zach put down his hand. “She deserves a p.”


    With a sense of guilt, Heather looked at Josie. “I’m sorry. You should go ahead.”


    The yful expression on Josie’s face immediately vanished when she saw Heather. She nced at


    Angel and headed straight for the elevator.


    She had barely taken two steps when Zach’s voice came, sounding impatient. “What are you here for?”


    “Today, I’m apanying Dex to an event. I don’t need you stirring up trouble at this critical moment!”


    Heather’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was very clear.


    Angel looked up anxiously, only to see Josie’s face expressionless, as if she was unaffected.


    Before stepping into the elevator, the person in charge of Mandarin Oriental Hotel finally stepped


    forward. “Mrs. Russell, we apologize for the inconvenience earlier. It really wasn’t our intention-”


    Josie interrupted, “Every businessman has his own set of principles. I can understand that.”


    After the incident, they were unsure of Dexter’s stance. They didn’t know if she would still be his wife,


    so naturally, they didn’t dare to lend a hand.


    She could understand that.


    The studio was keen to secure the design rights for a piece ofnd and needed to meet with the


    minister of the Ministry of Land and Resources. He was attending a function at Mandarin Oriental Hotel


    that day, and that was her only opportunity.


    “I’m sorry.” The secretary emerged from the door with a look of regret on her face. “Mr. Campbell is


    busy.”


    It was indeed challenging to arrange a meeting with officials of such rank, especially when matters


    were still unresolved. It was only natural to avoid meeting to prevent any suspicion.


    Josie saw iting, so she answered, “Thank you for your efforts.”


    However, just as she turned around, he saw a person of simr status rushing over. After exchanging a


    few pleasantries with the secretary, he was let in.


    Angel’s eyes widened in anger, and she stomped her foot. “How can this be? Why do they get. to go


    in?”


    Josie feit a bitter taste in her mouth, realizing that her current status was even more precarious than


    when she had nothing at all.


    “Ms. Warren, I have a solution,” the secretary said, unable to bear the situation any longer.


    “Please give me your advice.”


    “Go find Mr. Russell, plead with him, and ask him to give you some authority. Things will be easier to


    solve then.”


    Those words didn’t help at all.


    These people are all waiting for me to make a fool of myself. Josie found a ce to sit and began to flip


    through the documents.


    The location of thend was tricky. Without an experienced and highly skilled design team. taking over,


    that project wouldn’t be handled properly.


    Josie was very confident. In the entire Wavery, there were only three teams, at most, with that


    capability, and hers was one of them.


    The other twopanies were mostly industry leaders, not necessarily vying for that. project, so they


    were actually the top choices.


    If they’re not choosing me now, it can only mean this is a tant act of targeting. Josie opened at


    separate room next to Arthur Campbell’s private room.


    An antique, intricately carved screen partitioned the space in the middle.


    Vague silhouettes of people could be seen, yet there was a strong sense of secrecy.


    While stealing nces, Josie handed the menu to Angel. “What would you like to eat? You choose.”


    Angel flipped it open and was taken aback by the numbers she saw. She whispered, “It’s too


    expensive. Do we still have money in our studio ount?”


    Josie didn’t know whether tough or cry. “Just order.”


    She was seated facing the screen, straining to see into the other room. At that moment, only Arthur


    was there. As dishes were served one after another on their side, there was finally some activity in the


    other room.


    A man led a woman, followed by a few others, quickly filling up a table. Arthur exchanged pleasantries
