A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 392

Chapter 392

Throughout the entire month, Cordy never met John, or received his call or text.

Naturally, she was expecting none of that either.

She had actually been busy as the Startstream High Fashion made a relatively easy venture into the market and drew plenty of attention. Their sales were rising by the day, and Starstream Group's stock market value was in turn increasing like clockwork, catching up and even surpassing many other elite enterprises of North City. Naturally, they still had a long way from the top since those were legacies forged over multiple generations.

But one way or another, her rise was meteoric, and most amongst business circles touted her as the finest dark horse over the last decade.

However, she also knew all too well that the widespread acclaim was nothing good.

She always understood the principle that too much attention was never good, and even had a suspicion of a certain someone deliberately dragging her to the spotlight.

Naturally, she had to play along since she had no control over the situation —she had an obligation towards herself and her partners now.

In the month since she partnered with Patrick Stuart, they had often kept in touch online since he was rarely in North City. She would often submit business management plans and revenue reports to him punctually, and they became familiar with each other thanks to their contact.

After Cordy submitted her weekly revenue report for the week, Patrick called her, asking straight to the point, "Would you come to Rocktown?" It was after they made contact that she found out he was a swift and decisive man despite his polite appearance. He valued time more than most, and never dragged his feet when it comes to taking action.

"What?" Cordy asked nonetheless.

"My grandfather's interested in seeing you."

"Why?" Cordy was taken aback.

"He's just interested in you." Patrick chuckled.

Cordy was not amused. "Our partnership is built around creating value in the market, and toppling a common foe in Jessica Stuart. I wasn't told that you'd be involving others."

"Don't worry. My grandfather doesn't bite."

"I'm sorry, but I have to refuse," Cordy insisted.
