Lyna's aide laughed heartily with her as if everything was certain to go their way.
Meanwhile, Hannah and Natasha had returned to Hannah's villa. Although there was some conflict between Fabian and Xavier, Hannah felt that it wasn't too serious. After all, both of them were among the heirs of the five prominent families.
As for Fabian, he wasn't in a hurry to meet Xavier. When he headed back to his office, he felt that he was neglecting his duty as the boss.
Every single decision in the company regardless of its importance had to go through him.
Therefore, he had caused many of them to be delayed. However, he wasn't too concerned about the profits as the Phoenix Group had no peer in the nation currently. Nevertheless, it didn't mean that he had lost interest in them.
Just when Fabian was considering which company to cooperate with for greater profit, he was interrupted by a phone call. When he answered, he heard the receptionist's voice over the line.
"Mr. Norton, there's a man downstairs who claims to have important information to share with you. Do you think we should get him to leave or..."
"Huh?"
Fabian was surprised. Something to report to me? His aides had their own line of communications and wouldn't have been stopped by the reception. Furthermore, there didn't seem to be anything suspicious going on lately.
"What does he look like?" Fabian asked.
"Um... he is about twenty-five. Dressed in sportswear - he is also wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses. He seems to be nervously looking around as if he is afraid of being seen."
The receptionist scrutinized the man and reported what she saw as instructed by Fabian.
"Alright, let him come up," Fabian replied before ending the call.
"John, escort this man to Mr. Norton's office."
As the receptionist barked out her orders to an usher, she couldn't help but feel curious about the man's identity. After all, it wasn't easy being granted an appointment with the president, and yet this person managed to snag one.
