His Regret Arrived Three Days Late novel Chapter 133

That evening, Nolan called to inform her that all of Beryl Group's project partners were required to attend a networking event in the southern region. In reality, it was Conrad's way of checking the progress of each company's project.

The notice was so sudden that Annika had to work through the night preparing materials. With so much on her mind, she didn't get a wink of sleep.

The moment her alarm buzzed, she shot out of bed. After washing up, she grabbed her bag, pulled the key card from the slot, and rushed to the elevator.

Seeing the doors about to close, she yelled, "Hold on!"

Panting as she stepped inside, she realized two familiar faces were already there: Conrad and his assistant, Nolan.

Conrad's handsome face showed no reaction upon seeing her. He stood perfectly still, treating her as if she were invisible.

Nolan, however, found it harder to pretend he didn't know her and gave her a slight nod.

"Morning," Annika managed, directing the word at Nolan.

She retreated to the back of the elevator, her fingers gripping her bag tightly. She was nervous. After all, Conrad held the power of life and death over Sargent Group's bid. A single word from him could destroy everything. After investing so much effort, Annika couldn't bear the thought of it all being for nothing.

“Ding.”

The sound of the elevator arriving jarred her.

The doors opened, and Conrad strode out, with Nolan hurrying to keep up.

Annika deliberately paused for a few seconds. By the time she stepped out, both men were gone. Breathing a little easier, Annika found a diner for breakfast.
