It was quite a normal thing for all products of the AJ Group to bear the logo that had the words "An Jing" on it.
And since the AJ Group was synonymous with high quality, it was only a given for Terence, as its CEO, to always use products that had been manufactured by the company.
At that moment, Carla and Zora noticed that they were near a tent after walking for a considerable amount of time.
Suddenly, Zora felt drawn to the tent when she saw so many products inside with the company's logo on them.
In a second, she turned to Carla and said, "Carla, please wait a moment. I want to go and say 'Hi'."
Then, she looked straight at the tent and the Range Rover Evoque beside it, only a few meters away from where they were standing.
"Well... " Carla tried to respond but before she could do so, Zora was already within out of earshot.
Zora thought that the tent owner must be portentous.
When she was abroad, she had been active and outgoing so without an ounce of hesitation, she walked towards the tent with eagerness and enthusiasm.
Meanwhile, Rainer was about to follow Zora and rush over to the tent when Carla promptly stopped him.
She then beckoned him not to say anything.
She wanted to see how Zora would "say hi" to Terence.
The curtain of the tent was open to allow more light inside.
Terence was busy typing on his laptop. His work had been piling up as he had been away from his office for the past few days.
So whenever he had the time, he would do as much work as he could.
In no time, Terence felt that someone was approaching him. At first, he thought that it was Carla.
Because he was aware that she was nearby the area.
However, when he looked up, he found a strange woman with an ardent smile on her face.
Zora was about to greet him, but when she saw his face, she froze and suddenly, she forgot what to say.
The man in front of her looked like he was so focused on doing his job. But it wasn't what caught her off guard. His profile was handsome with a defined nose bridge and bushy eyebrows. When he looked at her, his eyes were as gentle as the stars. So for a moment, Zora was just fascinated by his beautiful eyes.
Astonished by his handsome features, Zora didn't notice that this man actually looked familiar to her.
But that feeling was over in a second.
Zora greeted, "Hello, Sir! You work for AJ Group, right?"
When she walked in the tent, she noticed that a lot of the devices inside were made by the AJ Group.
The documents on the desk was also emblazoned with "An Jing" on the letterhead.
Terence lifted his eyebrows and replied, "That's right.
Is there anything I can help you with?"
Zora approached him closer and warmly said, "Oh, is that so? You really work for AJ Group as well? So do I! I'm in the French subsidiary.
Where are you designated?"
Terence replied briefly, "Headquarters."
He then glanced at Carla who was just outside the tent. She had her arms crossed with a small smile on her face.
Zora said, "Really? It's very hard to get through to the headquarters, though. I've applied several times but to no avail, I just kept being rejected." She then pointed at the vacant seat and asked, "May I sit here?"
Before responding, Terence turned to look at Carla with a questioning look. In response, Carla just shrugged her shoulders. She felt that since Zora was just returning from abroad, she was very brave and upfront, making it hard for others to say no to her.
Terence then turned to Zora and nodded his head as a response.
After seeing Carla, he figured out that this woman might be Carla's friend.
"Thank you." Zora then smiled and sat down.
Carla also approached the tent and when she was about to sit beside Terence on the folding chair, she heard Zora's voice.
"This is my friend. I hope you don't mind us being in here."
Terence lifted his eyebrows again, squinted, and looked at Carla with another questioning look.
Carla could only press on her forehead discreetly while she coughed involuntarily.
She meant to sit down naturally, but with an introduction like that, she didn't know what to do next.
Carla looked around and found only two chairs in the tent. Terence had been sitting on the long folding chair and Zora just sat on the small one.
With this in mind, she sat beside Terence in spite of a little hesitation.
After all, she didn't really want to stand any longer.
