"If I were interested, I could have taken over Ardora long ago," I scoffed. "I have better things to do."
Atticus chuckled. "Looks like Matthew has woken up. This is a good thing, at least for you."
"Yes, you're right,” I said calmly, suddenly remembering something. I smiled and told Atticus, "I want to tell you something. The follow-up design for San Cosbech is in progress!”
Atticus laughed. "I was right."
"It seems you understand your opponent well. I can rest easy now."
After chatting for a while, we hung up. Carol walked in again and poured me a cup of coffee.
"Don't forget about the cocktail party today, Chloe."
"What cocktail party?"
"The business networking event for the second half of the year," Carol reminded me.
"Oh," I replied unenthusiastically. "I won't go. It won’t benefit us. It's a waste of time, and I need to go home and spend time with Ava tonight."
"But I have news that Liora will be attending," Carol said.
I suddenly perked up. "She's going?"
"Yes," Carol informed me. "Someone around her said that.”
"Haha. What is she doing? Is she up to something now after being quiet for a few days?"
Lauren walked in and asked, "Who's up to something?”
"Liora. There’s a business networking cocktail party today, and I gave news that she's attending." Carol explained to Lauren.
Lauren looked at me. "There are two invites, right? We’ll go together.”
I looked at Lauren. "Are you sure?"
