Meeting The One For Me ( Nathan Franklin ) novel Chapter 280

Chapter 280 

Cecilia smiled as she lifted her teacup. 

“Even though we haven’t reached a consensus, I view you favorably and approve of your abilities. I would be very happy to be friends with you.” 

Audrey also raised her teacup. “Being friends with Ms. Cecilia would be my honor.” 

The two exchanged smiles and drank their tea. 

After a while, Cecilia stood up. “I’ll return to the banquet first to avoid being seen by my sisters. Oh, and I reckon my dear sisters will come to you to discuss cooperation once you enter the Lambert Corporation.” 

Audrey realized that though Cecilia and Ryan seemed to be on the same side outwardly, Cecilia appeared to regard herself as Ryan’s competitor. 

Therefore, it was natural for her to be at odds with both Ryan and Cecilia’s adversaries, as well as those seeking cooperation. 

“Now that we’re friends, remember to let me know if you decide to cooperate with my two sisters!” Cecilia said with a smile. “Let’s have tea together another day.” 

“Sure.” Audrey nodded. 

As Cecilia exited the room, she was startled to see Ryan standing at the door. She tightened her grip on her handbag, unsure how much of her conversation with Audrey he had

Cecilia walked past Ryan toward the banquet hall, sweat already forming on her palms. 

When she saw Ryan entering the tea room, she could only hope that Audrey wouldn’t be swayed by familial ties and would remain clear–headed. 

Audrey saw Ryan come in and instinctively closed the door behind him. Her clear, innocent eyes widened, revealing a hint of innocence. 

“How did you get in here?” Audrey quickly got up to approach Ryan. “What if someone sees Us?” 

Before she could finish speaking, her lips were sealed by Ryan’s. 

Audrey tightly grasped Ryan’s shoulders, her gaze drifting toward the door incessantly, wanting to push Ryan away. 

Ryan held Audrey tightly in his arms, kissing her gently as if afraid of smudging her makeup. “Ms. Cecilia wants to join forces with you to vie for power?” Ryan asked softly. 

“Mmm.” Audrey gasped slightly. “But I didn’t agree.”
