This girl was simply too creepy. Meeting her gaze had given me chills.
I quickly withdrew my gaze and stopped looking at her.
Elena had already gotten on stage to perform an analysis. It would mean the world for any company to reach a cooperation with a large company like Grant Corporation. All companies wanted to be picked, but Grant Corporation would only pick one in the end.
Elena focused mainly on big companies, so she merely analyzed the proposal of big companies and eventually chose the company of William's wife.
She was a great worker, and in order to show his recognition of her work ability, Theo had basically handed the entire project to Elena.
Therefore, Theo did not say anything when she eventually picked the company of William's wife.
When the bidding session was over, Elena and Theo had something to talk about. I had nothing to do, so I wandered around the ballroom instead.
The creepy girl was standing at the entrance of the ballroom, staring blankly at the painting on the wall.
Humans had the instinct to avoid harm. I subconsciously avoided her when I saw her.
I did not want to approach such a girl.
There were too many things about her that I was familiar with yet refused to face.
As I turned around, the girl suddenly called out to me. "I thought you'd talk to me."
I hesitated for a moment before turning around and gazing into her dark, bottomless eyes. I said faintly, "Business isn't for you.”
She nodded. "I know."
