Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 388

Chapter 388

Stanley immediately called his superior. By now, the VIPs should have already entered the inner hall. If the Morrison heiress had arrived, she would naturally be introduced. All he had to do was just ask and find out.

The call connected quickly.

Alicia wiped her sweaty palms nervously and pressed the speakerphone.

“Mr. O’Leary,” Stanley greeted.

Before he could finish, the voice on the other end snapped, “Where are you? Why aren’t you here yet? Didn’t I tell you this event is important? Don’t be late!”

“Ah… there was a minor accident on the way. I’m afraid I won’t make it,” Stanley said cautiously. Better to omit the full truth. If Khloe really was the Morrison heiress, revealing the situation might get him fired on the spot.

“You’re really letting a rare opportunity slip through your fingers!” Mr. O’Leary chided before moving to hang up. The surrounding area was noisy; many executives were entering and gathering around. He had to get to the venue himself.

“Wait, Mr. O’Leary… I’m curious about the Morrison heiress. Has she arrived yet?” Stanley pressed.

“You haven’t even arrived yourself, and you’re asking about that?” the voice scolded impatiently.

At that moment, the summit erupted in a stir. A graceful figure entered the central area. Surrounded tightly by bodyguards, her presence drew the crowd’s attention. She was heading toward the VIP section near the front

row.

A nearby aide whispered, “That’s the Morrison heiress, the current CEO of the Morrison Group.”

“So young?” Mr. O’Leary craned forward to get a glimpse but could only see a partial profile. Attempting to move closer, he was blocked by security enforcing order, directing everyone to their seats.

Stanley caught the faint response on the other end. “Did you see the Morrison heiress?”

“Sort of. I think I saw her,” Mr. O’Leary replied, a bit reluctantly. A shadow counts as a sighting.

Traffic had slowed them down, and they were cutting it close.

“Angela!”

Angela, hurrying to enter, froze when she heard a familiar voice.

She turned, and her eyes widened in shock.

It was Stella and Lauren!

“What’s wrong?” Barney asked, noticing Angela had stopped.

“They’re acquaintances from my time in Goldmont City. I need to go over for a moment. You go ahead; I’ll catch up right after.”

Seeing Angela hesitate, Barney nodded silently, saying nothing further, and led his assistant inside.
