Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 409

Scarlett's POV:

When I woke up the next day, I found myself lying in bed at home.

I tried to recall all the things that happened last night, but it just gave me a splitting headache. It was really hard to remember what happened.

All I could remember was that I was drunk and I got drunk in the bar.

Just as I was about to faint, someone held me in his arms.

The familiar scent from last night made me have a bad feeling.

I decided to call Elena and ask her what happened last night.

"You got drunk last night. Mr. Felix wanted to escort you home, but Mr. Moore showed up and hit him. Mr. Moore said that he'd take you home, and I couldn't refuse," said Elena.

My eyes widened in shock.

'Wait, was it really Charles?

What was he even doing there?' I wondered.

"Did anything else happen last night?" I asked, feeling anxious and doubtful.

"There's nothing else. I promise you, Miss Wilson, it won't happen again," Elena said while shaking her head. She sounded really guilty.

"Don't blame yourself. Charles has always been domineering. You wouldn't be able to go up against him even if you tried," I responded.

After freshening up, I went to the company along with Elena.

Once there, I noticed that the employees were acting differently towards me. They no longer ignored me like before. Instead, they were greeting me with respect; some of them even humbled themselves around me.

I greeted them with a polite smile, maintaining my composure.

It seemed that the news that I'd acquired the land on the east bank had already spread throughout the company.

"Everyone, please get ready. We'll have a meeting in ten minutes," I said to the employees, still wearing a faint smile.

Soon, the conference room was filled with people.

"Today's meeting will be about the project to be carried out on the east bank."

Right after I finished the announcement, many people began raising suggestions.

"We should build a hotel!"

"Considering the geographical environment of the east bank, I think building a resort is the right choice."

"You know, building a water park is also a good idea. Many young people like places like that."

I listened quietly and kept everyone's suggestions in mind.

While they were brainstorming, I chimed in, "I propose we build a children's amusement park." The noisy conference room suddenly quieted down.

"A children's amusement park? It doesn't seem like we'll make much profit from that. Besides, our company has never done a project like that before," someone asked.

The others echoed his sentiment.

At this moment, Adam knocked on the door and came in.

"I'm also a shareholder of this company. Can I take part in this meeting as well?"

He glanced at me, flashing a sardonic grin.

I could tell that he came here with malicious intents, but I couldn't come up with a reason to refuse him.

"Sure." I nodded in response and smiled back.

"I suggest we use the land on the east bank to build a racecourse." Adam shot me a defiant look.

"That land isn't suitable to build a racecourse in. But if you can persuade Mr. Edward Wilson and everyone present otherwise, I will not go against it." I scoffed at him, rejecting his proposal outright.

Adam's face turned grim as he glared at me.
