Chloe hesitated for a moment before speaking directly, "Be at the club by seven."
Miles paused for a moment. "Isn't the banquet starting at seven? It would take me at least twenty minutes, even in the fastest scenario."
Chloe smiled, a hint of mischief flickering in her eyes, "Don’t worry."
Miles didn't hesitate and simply replied “okay” before hanging up the phone.
Katie might have overheard their conversation and started feeling nervous, "Why do we have to arrive after seven. Being late isn't ideal."
Chloe glanced at her, her eyes shimmering with a beautiful gleam, "Katie, one shouldn't be too bound by rules."
Katie forced a smile. Was she trying to teach her to do something bad?
"But if we're late for the banquet, someone will surely be displeased." Katie said.
"Don't worry, they won't have the opportunity to be displeased." Chloe said.
"Huh?" Katie didn't understand at all.
Chloe chuckled softly, "You'll see when the time comes."
Nathan drove while stealing a glance at Chloe through the rearview mirror, "What are you up to again?"
"Again?" Chloe frowned, "What did I do before?"
Nathan pursed his lips and rolled his eyes. Let's talk about recent events. It was really hard to forget the incident with Felix Larkin. How could she say she forgot?
"Why did you make Katie appear so late?" Nathan asked.
"Making other people uncomfortable!" Chloe said
That attitude, so decisive, unabashed, and nonchalant!
Wendy, Elizabeth, and a few others finished their spa session and wanted to go to a styling salon to get ready for the banquet. However, Wendy smiled and said, "We still have some time. Let's go back to the club first. I'll arrange for stylists to come to the club and help us with the styling. This way, Elizabeth, you'll have some time to rest."
"You're arranging stylists?" Elizabeth asked.
Wendy smiled, "Yes, Elizabeth. I'm mainly focused on the entertainment company owned by the Alonso family now, and we have no shortage of stylists."
Elizabeth nodded, "The entertainment industry. I've heard it's quite chaotic."
Wendy smiled lightly, "Fortunately, the entertainment company is the most profitable project now."
Elizabeth furrowed her brows slightly and tugged at her lips, "Anyway, be cautious. That industry has all sorts of people, and the situation is complex. It's better to be careful."
"Understood, thank you for the reminder, Elizabeth. I'm aware." Wendy said.
Nathan led Chloe smoothly all the way, and Chloe returned to Damon's office again. However, when she opened the door, Damon wasn't in his office.
...
The atmosphere in the conference room was serious and tense. All the senior managers present stiffened, furrowing their brows with serious expressions.
Damon sat in the chairman's seat, his face expressionless. His handsome face and impeccably tailored black suit exuded dignity and composure, evoking awe in people.
The various departments began reporting their work progress and future plans once again.
