A Graduation Gift novel Chapter 252

The moment she stepped into the office building, she could clearly feel that Qin Group was no more the company she had known in the past. There were so many young faces, which created a lively and vigorous atmosphere all about the office. This was in stark contrast with the old Qin Group—although the spacious building was filled with loads of people in the past, the environment was always dull and lethargic.

Here, all the employees were concentrating on their own work. In the common working space, some people walked pass, while some worked on their desks; some were discussing about the projects, while some were liaising with the clients; everyone, in short, was fulfilling his or her role.

Completely satisfied with what she had come across, Whitney was glad for transferring those shares to Cassandra, who had done an excellent job in keeping the company running and transforming it into a lively place to work at with a prospering new face.

"Mrs. Zheng, I wish I could repay you the money worth your shares. But, Qin Group has just restarted…" Cassandra let her voice trail off.

She sounded sorry. After all, Qin Group could reach its breaking-point in the market any time. Anyhow, even at the moment, the profit margin was limited. As much as she wanted to pay Whitney back, she couldn't.

"Forget about that. If you really want to pay me back, keep up the good work at Qin Group. If you wish, you can repay me with interests after the company starts to make big profits. I will consider that as the repayment."

Whitney waved her hand nonchalantly and replied generously.

She wasn't short of money. The only thing she cared for was her daughter, Courtney's health. Cassandra was someone who had helped Courtney untie the knot in her heart. Now, she had recovered quite a lot, both physically and mentally. She no longer sulked in her miserable memories and had finally moved on in life.

This was a fair deal for Whitney—it was as if she had traded her shares in turn of her beloved daughter's health.

"Surely, I will. I will pack a huge red packet for you!"

Cassandra giggled and glanced at Whitney, appreciatively.

"How is Courtney now?"

Cassandra asked in a soothing, caring tone. It had been a long time since she had any contact with either of them.

"Much better. I am planning to teach her the basic rules of the business world once she recovers fully. After all, she is my only child and will be inheriting whatever I possess."

Whitney beamed at Cassandra. She felt elated at the very mention of her daughter.

"That's great! I believe she'll recover very soon!"

Cassandra deeply wished for Courtney to go back to her normal self again. After all, it wasn't worth it to ruin her own life for a man like Joel.

"Oh also, how is your sister? The other day, I was having dinner with my friends at a classy club. I saw someone who looked like her.

Is she interning there?

She was also dressed like the employees there. She looked very similar to you, so I paid extra attention. I heard the manager call her Cloris. Isn't that your sister's name?"

Whitney asked inquisitively. Even though she had never seen Cloris after she had grown up, with whatever she remembered, she could more or less make out that the girl was indeed a younger version of Vernon.

"Mrs. Zheng, it seems to me like it's an eerie coincidence. My sister is in an overseas exchange program. She isn't in G City right now."

Cassandra smiled politely, thinking Whitney was mistaken. How could Cloris be in G City? Definitely she had seen someone by the same name and gotten confused.
