Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 727

It was a sea of mass-invited executives and managers.

Finally, a representative from Aegis Dynamics emerged.

"Apologies, everyone, sincere apologies!" the man called out over the noise. "Because the volume of reservations was so overwhelmingly high, and our main presentation is just three days away, Mr. Lewis thought it would be best to host everyone at once. We apologize for the chaos!"

"Right this way, please," the rep gestured, leading the herd inside.

Emilia and Tara exchanged a knowing look, nodded at each other, and followed the crowd.

They were ushered into a sprawling exhibition hall showcasing various technological prototypes.

Despite the massive turnout, Caleb Lewis made a point to personally step out onto the floor.

Caleb and his senior team worked the room, doing their best to answer questions and run demonstrations.

Their hands-on approach managed to soothe the crowd's bruised egos.

Aegis wasn't kicking anyone out.

Eventually, Caleb made his way over to Emilia and Tara.

"My sincerest apologies," Caleb whispered, discreetly guiding them away from the mob. "A massive miscommunication caused this mess."

"What happened?" Emilia asked, playing along.

Caleb rolled his eyes dramatically. "I wouldn't bother explaining this to the rest of them, but to you, Ms. Lister... I am truly sorry. We hired a new intern, and he completely botched the schedule."

"I specifically ordered him to group the general inquiries together. But for VIPs like you and Emilia, I explicitly demanded private sessions. Instead, he dumped everyone into the same time slot."

Caleb rubbed the back of his neck, looking genuinely distressed.

Julian, who had been hovering nearby, smoothly inserted himself into the circle.

"Honestly, Caleb, this is a terrible look for you," Julian said, unimpressed.

Caleb dabbed his forehead, apologizing profusely. "I didn't realize what happened until I saw the mob at the door, and by then it was too late to cancel. All I could do was let everyone in and try to find you three in the chaos."

"Ms. Lister, when we eventually file for our IPO, we will undoubtedly rely on your family's unparalleled guidance."

"And Emilia, please send my absolute best to Mr. Glenn."

The last comment made Emilia slightly uncomfortable.

But she kept her expression neutral, simply glancing over at Tara.

"Alright, enough kissing ass," Julian said, waving a hand dismissively. "The three of us are here for one reason: we want the unfiltered truth."

Caleb nodded vigorously, personally pouring Julian a fresh cup of coffee.

"You were incredibly vague at the summit. What exactly are you hiding in your R&D department?"

Julian looked at Emilia and Tara, then leaned across the table, his presence suddenly suffocatingly dominant. "Let's get one thing straight, Caleb. If the Quinn family is going to cut a check, you better have something revolutionary backing it up."

Tara nodded in agreement. "Caleb, I suggest you don't try to pull the wool over the Lister family's eyes."
