"If you have any intentions, you'd better give up."
Jasper said unreservedly.
"I'm looking for President Zac. Could you please put President Zac on the phone?"
Although Jasper said so, Coralie still wanted to talk to Houston.
For Skylar, she was willing to do it even if the possibility was low.
"Coralie, you think that I don't know there is something wrong with Skyton Corporation? Skylar is going to be poor soon, and you don't want to live in poverty again, that's why you came to my father and wanted to ask him to invest in Skyton Corporation."
Everyone in the circle was well aware of what was going on at Skyton Corporation.
As soon as Coralie called, Jasper knew what she wanted to do.
"I'm sorry. I know that I'm being very abrupt, but I still hope..."
"Impossible."
Before Coralie could finish her words, Jasper refused decisively.
Coralie didn't even have a chance to talk to Houston.
Just as she was in despair, Lisa came to her with coffee in her hand and asked, "Coralie, did you fail to contact President Zac? I just heard that he has been in A City recently for the project which Skyton Corporation didn't manage to get. Some capable businessmen were invited to a meeting, Houston is also on the invitation list."
"Really?"
The news gave Coralie a new hope.
"Mm, but it seems that you'll need an invitation card. I don't have it."
Lisa nodded.
She could only help Coralie that far.
Coralie checked on the Internet and found out about the meeting Lisa was talking about. For a meeting like that, everyone had to register themselves before entering, so they will definitely check the names. It would be very difficult for her to get in.
However, she could only give it a try.
......
On the day of the meeting, Coralie was dressed in formal business wear, standing in the corridor not far from the conference room. She watched as every invitee showed their invitation before entering.
She stood outside. It seemed that everyone went in according to the rules, none of them refused to go in after showing the card.
Coralie waited outside until the meeting began, but she still could not find a chance to sneak in.
She had no choice but to wait outside.
Three hours later, when the meeting was about to end, she saw the staff members were arranging the guidance board. There was a word 'banquet hall' on it.
It seemed that there would be a banquet after that meeting.
It gave Coralie hope.
She kept wandering, arriving at a junction. When the meeting ended and everyone walked toward the banquet hall, she tagged along.
Fortunately, no one was guarding the banquet hall, so she managed to sneak in.
"Corrie."
Coralie was looking for Jasper in the crowd when she suddenly heard someone calling her.
It was a nickname, but no one had called her that for many years.
Coralie turned her head and looked in the direction of the voice. She saw a tall man standing in the crowd with a dish of snacks in his hand.
The man's skin was healthy honey-colored. He had attractive facial features and he was handsome. When he saw Coralie, he showed a very bright smile.
More importantly, he looked familiar.
"You are..."
"Corrie, you don't remember me anymore?"
The man reached out his hand and touched Coralie's nose.
That move immediately reminded her who the man was, "Yonn! You must be Yonn! Wow! You're so skinny now. I didn't even recognize you!"
The man was Yohan Green, she used to call him Yonn.
Yohan was her neighbor when she was a child. He left with his mother when he was young because his parents were divorced.
