The next day, Hestia arrived at Duval Group on time and checked herself in.
Benji was on the brink of weeping when he saw Hesper. He had been working overtime last night to get her office ready, so he would have cried out loud if Hesper didn't come in that day.
Thinking of the "Ms. Lane" that he knew from before, Benji could not help but lament that Hesper was very kind back then, as the current version of her was the ultimate devilish side of her.
"Mr. Lynch, you don’t seem very happy to see me." Hestia smiled at Benji and curled the corners of her lips upward. "Is Mr. Duval here? I want to see the detailed proposal for the future plans... This wouldn’t be too hasty, would it?"
As soon as Benji heard Hestia bring up the proposal, he began to admire Rickard’s ingenuity. As soon as Hestia left yesterday, Rickard immediately held an emergency meeting to finalize the details of the proposal in advance.
Seeing Benji’s expression, Hestia instantly knew that she would not be able to find anything wrong with the proposal, so she waved her hand with a lack of interest. "Forget it. I don’t want to read it. Bring me to my office now."
"Okay, Ms. Deschamps." Benji welcomed Hestia into the office with a smile.
The employees around them gazed at Hesper while working on their own tasks attentively. But in fact, the gossipy alter ego in them was already on the verge of exploding.
Hesper had disappeared from Genecity for a long time; some claimed that Hesper died in an accident, while others claimed that she had broken up with Rickard and would never come back again. No one had ever expected that she would be back in only half a year.
Hestia followed Benji around the company to observe the internal operations of the entire Duval Group and found that she was still a little unfamiliar with the Duvals. Apart from the route that led her to Rickard’s office, the other areas of the company seemed very strange to her.
"Did I work in Duval Group before?"
"How would I have dared to ask you to work?" Benji answered bitterly. "It’s just that when Mr. Duval was ill, you temporarily acted as the president of Duval Group. Does this remind you of something in the past?"
"No."
