He Buried Me But I Painted My Own Resurrection novel Chapter 216

Two days ago, the city at night was still a brightly lit metropolis that never slept.

But inside the CEO's office on the top floor of The Gauthier Group, it was suffocatingly dim and dead silent.

The massive floor-to-ceiling windows had no curtains drawn, yet the bustling prosperity outside failed to penetrate the oppressive space.

The air smelled faintly of dust and medicine, mixed with an elusive trace of sandalwood.

Assistant Reed pushed the door open and walked in cautiously.

He flicked the switch, and a harsh light instantly illuminated the entire office.

Everything remained exactly as it had been three years ago, save for a thin layer of dust on the desk.

For the past three years, The Gauthier Group had barely stayed afloat, relying entirely on Nathaniel and the board of directors.

Meanwhile, the man who was supposed to be sitting here orchestrating operations had turned himself into a joke.

Parker walked over to the lounge door and knocked.

"Mr. Gauthier, it's me, Parker."

There was no response from inside.

Parker was used to this. He knew his boss ignored everyone most of the time.

He reported through the door, "Mr. Gauthier, we just received word that K, the mysterious artist signed with Artemia Agency, is about to make an appearance."

The lounge remained dead silent.

Parker paused, then continued, "K is returning to attend an international art awards ceremony. All the top elites and investors will be there."

"The board hopes you can personally step forward to try and make contact with K."

"You know better than anyone the commercial value and influence K brings. If we can persuade her to collaborate with our cultural initiatives, it would be a massive boost to our stagnant stock prices and brand image."

Over the past three years, though The Gauthier Group hadn't collapsed, it had long lost its former glory.

Especially in the emerging cultural and art investment sectors, rivals—particularly the Lowery family—had seized a significant market share.

The main reason the Lowery family had been so successful was their backing from K.
